Rising Wasa waters threaten homesS A L LY M AC D O N A L D

Townsman Staff

Wasa is on high alert today as lake levels con-tinue to rise quickly fol-lowing last week’s re-cord rainfall.

A state of emergency was declared for Wasa on Tuesday, June 25, after the level of the lake rose between four and six inches over-night.

While there was no order to evacuate, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) was warning residents to be prepared to leave flood-affected homes.

“It may happen. We want people to be aware that the water is still coming up,” said RDEK’s Dan McNeill.

Nine homes were sandbagged on Tues-day at the south end of the lake, with crews from the Wildfire Man-agement Branch in Cranbrook out at Wasa to assist with sandbag-

ging efforts.Two crews of 10

were sandbagging two homes at a time around the ground-fed lake, which peaks about a week after the nearby Kootenay River.

As of press time, the water in Wasa Lake was still about two feet below its level last year, when Wasa also experi-enced flooding.

Just like last year, the RDEK is advising Wasa residents to boil water from their wells until the water can be tested by Interior Health.

Several wells and septic systems are likely to be underwater as the lake rises.

Volunteers at Wasa Community Hall were helping Tuesday, in-cluding Garry Verigin of Wasa Slim Pickens, whose store donated a truck, skidster and trail-er for the efforts. SALLY MACDONALD PHOTO

Calgary is in a state of recov-ery from the recent devastating floods, and with just over a week to go for cleanup efforts, the famed Calgary Stampede is going ahead.

Jim Wavrecan will be driving the City of Cranbrook’s float in the Stampede parade. Wavre-can said he’d heard from orga-nizers that the parade is going on.

“I just emailed back the fel-low that’s in charge of the mu-nicipal floats and said now more than ever we’d be there to sup-port the city,” he said.

The parade will most likely have to take a bit different route.

“The usual setup is for a bar-

becue on Thursday night and a breakfast on Friday morning, but I suspect that area got washed right out, because it’s right where the Elbow and the Bow meet. So there may be a different starting location. Judg-ing from what I see on TV, I think they’ll have the streets cleared up pretty good. It shouldn’t be a problem to do the parade.”

Wavrecan has been driving the float off and on for 20 years.

“We’ve been pretty pleased with the float this year,” he said. “We’ve been in two out-of-town parades and won first prize in our category in both of them.”

A few years ago, Cranbrook even won the Calgary Stam-pede’s float competition, when

the float featured Cranbrook’s famous escaped elephant.

Also in Cranbrook, Lawrence McGibbon of Carlaw Clydes is preparing horses for the Stam-pede despite still not knowing the extent to which the event will be going ahead.

McGibbon said he had put in calls to people he knows in the office but had no answer yet. On the weekend, seeing the dam-age that was occurring, he said he thought for sure the Stam-pede would be cancelled, as much of the grounds and build-ings were flooded, but on Mon-day he saw the message on the stampede website saying that the show was going ahead.

The truck in which two young men went into Findlay Creek on June 8 has been pulled out of the water, according to a statement from Cranbrook RCMP.

Stephen Thomson, 21, of Canal Flats and Nicholas Hoefnagels, 19, of Carstairs, Alberta were reported missing on June 9 after they failed to return to their campsite at Whitetail Lake.

A subsequent search found signs a vehicle had gone off the forestry road into Findlay Creek and personal belongings of the two men were found nearby.

However, the creek was flowing too high and too fast to get to the vehicle, which was finally sighted underwater on June 18 after the family of the missing men paid for

a blasting permit.Continuing efforts to recover

the truck were hampered by last week’s extreme rainfall, which markedly increased the river flows in Findlay Creek. 

Receding water levels revealed that during the rainfall event, the truck had been pushed down-stream and was now visible and accessible.

“Family and friends of the miss-ing men brought a skidder to the area which hooked the truck and pulled it to shore,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine. “The truck has now been towed from the location. The damage to the truck from the water pressure was extensive. 

“Neither of the deceased were located in the vehicle wreckage and the search will continue as environmental conditions permit.”

The College of the Rockies has hired a new president and CEO to

replace retiring presi-dent Dr. Nick Rubidge.

David Walls, the col-lege’s seventh president, will take over on August

19, coming from Sas-katchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology, where he was most recently Pro-

vost and Vice President Academic, and had also held the positions of As-sociate Vice-President Academic and Student

Affairs, and Dean of In-dustrial Training.

During his career, Walls has also held se-nior positions at the

Southern Alberta Insti-tute of Technology (SAIT), including Dean of Energy and Natural Resources, and Dean of Mechanical Trades and Technologies.

“I am delighted to have been selected as the next President of College of the Rockies,” said Walls.  “The enthu-siasm and pride for the College exhibited by ev-eryone I met during the selection process was both gratifying and in-fectious.”

“College of the Rock-ies has earned a solid reputation for innova-tion and growth.  I’m excited to have the op-portunity and privilege to lead this great institu-tion into a future I have no doubt will be filled with amazing opportu-nities and interesting challenges,” said Walls.  “I’m looking forward to living and working in this beautiful region of British Columbia and experiencing the won-derful East and Central Kootenay communities served by the College.”

During his time in Saskatchewan, Walls has served as chair of the Board of the Saska-toon Trades and Skills Centre, and as a mem-ber of the Boards of the Saskatchewan Academ-ic Health Sciences Net-work and the Interna-tional Mining Innova-tion Institute.

He holds a Master of Science, Welding Tech-nology and Manage-ment from Aston Uni-versity in Birmingham, England, and a Bachelor of Technology, Metal-lurgy from Brunel Uni-versity in Uxbridge, En-gland.

Walls will move to Cranbrook with his wife Kathleen, a psycholo-gist. They have three grown children.

“College of the Rock-ies’ board undertook a comprehensive and in-clusive six-month search for our new pres-ident,” said board chair

Orest Federko. “The board unanimously passed a motion at its June 13, 2013 meeting to offer the position to David Walls on the rec-ommendation of a 16-member search committee which in-cluded members from the board, students, se-nior administration, management, faculty and support staff.

“The focus of the search process was to secure a president with the experience, leader-ship qualities and vision to build upon College of the Rockies’ achieve-ments and take the in-novative spirit of the college to additional heights,” said Federko. “David Walls has dis-played to us his passion for post-secondary edu-cation and student suc-cess, and has given us confidence in his ability to lead a consultative process which will set a strategic course for our future.

“He is a dedicated, successful leader who has served in progres-sively senior post-sec-ondary positions from instructor to provost and vice-president. He is ex-perienced in strategic management and insti-tutional growth, has led the development of market-driven educa-tion and training, is skilled in building inno-vative partnerships and successful teams, has an entrepreneurial flair and leads with a consultative style,” Federko said.

Around the East Kootenay — outside Wasa — flood condi-tions continued to im-prove on Tuesday, ac-cording to a statement from the Regional Dis-trict of East Kootenay.

For the first time ever, the RDEK has had to activate emergency operations centres in all three areas of the re-gion: the central subre-gion (around Cran-brook and Kimberley and the South Country), the Columbia Valley and the Elk Valley.

Kimberley Creek is almost totally back in its channel. Due to lower water levels, crews were able to access their water intake in the Mathew Creek area to assess damage and de-termine next steps. They will also now be focusing efforts on ad-dressing the erosion

that took place in Mark Creek last week.

In Hosmer, 120 clean up kits from the Red Cross were delivered to the Hosmer Communi-ty Centre and are now available for use throughout the Elk Val-ley. Dike inspections showed no change. In-terior Health informa-tion was emailed to the community and posted at the Community Cen-tre regarding proper steps to shock wells and get water tested.

The State of Local Emergency remains in effect for Electoral Area A. The Emergency So-cial Services Reception Centre that had been set up at the Fernie Curling Club has been closed as all evacuation orders have been lifted.

In Fernie, a State of Local Emergency re-mains in effect. The storm water system is handling the water at

Rows of sandbags are protecting homes in Wasa from rising lake levels.

Wasa on high alert as water risesGarry took a week off work

to help protect the community he was born and raised in.

“I’ve never seen this two years in a row,” he said.

Three thousand sandbags had already been used by Tuesday morning, but the

RDEK had set up an automatic sandbagger to keep them coming throughout the day.

The Regional District is also encouraging all residents around the lake to take steps now to prepare for the possi-bility of flooding.

“We know there were a number of homes impacted last summer when waters rose in a similar fashion. This is the time for people to move valu-ables, and prepare their homes and properties,” said Information Officer Loree Duczek.

Area E Director Jane Walter

was opening up Wasa Com-munity Hall as a warming cen-tre to residents with questions about the emergency.

She pointed out that some Calgary residents have second homes in Wasa, so they could be affected by floods in both locations.

this time. All dikes are holding. All City parks remain closed as City staff work to determine the full extent of the damage. The parks are expected to remain closed for at least the balance of the week.

The West Fernie Dike is holding stable and drainage has re-turned to normal.

The District of Elk-ford is maintaining the State of Local Emergen-

cy declared June 20, 2013. The Evacuation Alert remains in place. Residents are asked to stay away from the Elk River and Boivin Creek. Continued debris man-agement will be con-ducted in Boivin Creek to ensure public safety; therefore, the Peace Park is closed until fur-ther notice. The dike/trail system along the Elk River was dam-aged during the flood.

Dike assessments are being conducted with repair work to com-mence shortly. Resi-dents are asked to stay away from this area, as portions of the dike/trail are missing, and many spots have been im-pacted by undercutting.

Sparwood city staff are assessing trails and parks for damage.

The situation in Canal Flats remains sta-ble and no infrastruc-

ture is currently being affected.

In Dutch Creek, the declaration of a State of Local Emergency re-mains in place. An evac-uation alert for the Hoo-Doos Resort Camp-ground and neighbour-ing residences is still in effect. Heavy equipment continues to complete rip rap reinforcement along the banks of Dutch Creek and crews are making good prog-

ress. Both Fairmont Creek

and Cold Spring Creek remain within their channels though Emer-gency Program person-nel noted higher water levels on both creeks Monday. Work contin-ues on culvert mainte-nance near the River-side golf maintenance shed due to ongoing sedimentation. Other culverts are remaining clear at this time.

East Kootenay resi-dents who have been affected by the floods of the past week can apply for financial assistance from the B.C. govern-ment.

The Regional Dis-trict of East Kootenay applied for the assis-tance from Emergency Management B.C. and it was approved on Monday, June 24.

This means that full-

time B.C. residents can submit claims for a portion of their clean-up costs related to flooding costs that are not covered by insur-ance.

The assistance ap-plies to residents affect-ed by overland flooding between June 19 and 21 in every community in the East Kootenay.

The wheels of the legal system continue to turn for Cheyenne Learn, who was convict-ed in 2009 of second de-gree murder in the De-cember 2007 shooting death of Tammy Ellis.

In May, the B.C. Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Learn, who was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for 16 years.

However, Appeal Court Justice Ian Don-ald said the trial judge

misdirected jurors be-fore their verdict.

On Tuesday, June 25, lawyers for the Crown and Learn’s defense ap-peared briefly in Cran-brook Supreme Court, saying they are not yet ready to set a date for a new trial.

Learn was not pres-ent in person or via video for the brief mat-ter, which was set over for August 19.

In the appeal, Learn’s defense held that the trial judge made a mis-take when he talked to the jury about the nec-

essary intent required to convict someone of murder.

Cheyenne Manuel Learn, 53, was convicted in the fatal shooting of Tammy Ellis, a friend of his former girlfriend, at Ellis’s home in Decem-ber 2007.

M o n d a y ’ s five-member city council voted to allow a parcel of industri-al-zoned land to be re-zoned for amusement park use in a four-to-one vote.

Resident Chris Hirn plans to build a family fun park with go-karts, bumper boats, mini golf and 3D simulators

on the property located on Industrial Road 2.

While nobody came forward during the public hearing, there were two letters of con-cern from citizens.

“I do appreciate the comment about using industrial land for this type of use since we have talked about the limitations of that,” Coun. Bob Whetham said. “At the same time,

I couldn’t think of an-other zone or location which could accom-modate a use of this type.”

Whetham said from that point of view he supports the applica-tion.

“The other (letter) made reference to noise,” he said. “I am familiar with another facility in the upper Columbia Valley which

has been there for 18 years or more.”

Whetham said that facility includes a go-kart track and bumper boats, and despite being near a residential area, he said noise was never an issue.

He said, given that the Cranbrook location is separated by a road and the old mill site, it is a reasonable request.

Coun. Gerry Warner

spoke to the letters as well from tenants of businesses in the area, which said it was not appropriate for an in-dustrial park.

“When this thing was first brought up, I thought a bit about it myself. I mean this is a tourist-type thing,” Warner said, compar-ing it to the water slides that used to be at the southern entrance of

town. “They were right in

sight of Highway 3 or Van Horne coming through town. Tourists would see it on a hot day and they would stop and use it.”

On the other hand, Warner said, the family fun park would be off in the industrial park, out of sight of tourists driving by.

He worried that council was in too big a hurry to approve the rezoning.

“Don’t misunder-stand me, I’d love to see an amusement fa-cility in town, especial-ly for the kids and stuff, I’d love to see new business in town, but it ain’t for us to rush and approve something like this and then it turns out to be not the best kind of facility. I sit

here at this table and I represent the public and I wonder if we’re not rushing into this thing without consid-ering every aspect of it.”

Coun. Sharon Cross noted that Moir Park was nearby and is also in an industrial zone.

Cross said the noise levels have also been addressed in letters from Hirn.

Coun. Denise Pallesen, acting mayor, asked about the diffi-culty of reverting it back into an M-2 Light Industrial Zone if the family fun park doesn’t go through as planned. Staff answered that it would just be a matter of going through the process again to revert it back.

Council adopted the zoning amendment.

When in cougar trou-ble, there’s always a chain saw. At least that’s what Kimberley city councillor and outdoors enthusiast Darryl Oak-ley found out this past weekend.

Oakley was volun-teering for the Round the Mountain race, doing a sweep of the track before the race early Saturday morning. With all the rain, Oakley was out making sure that no trees were block-ing the track for runners and cyclists who would come through later in the day.

He says he was around the back side of the mountain when he encountered what he said was a “large cou-gar”.

Oakley says it came out of the bush and, rather than running

away when it spotted him and his dog, the cougar stopped to look at them — a showdown of sorts.

“He wasn’t backing down, just looking at my dog, looking at me.”

Oakley tried bear spray and a wildlife whistle. No luck.

Luckily, he had the chain saw he was using to clear brush. He fired it up and that finally got the big cat’s attention.

“I talked to the CO after and he said the cougar was probably hunting at that time of day and there was likely a kill around. The CO said that cougars don’t defend kills like a bear would, or not for as long. They will leave it. I think that’s what the cougar did when he heard the chainsaw.”

All part of life in the Kootenays, Oakley said.

McGibbon said the Saddledome is similar to Western Financial Place in Cranbrook, as it’s built in a hole.

“Under all the seats in the bleachers, that’s where all the rooms are — dressing rooms, change rooms, offices, showers, security,” he said. “They were full (with water) right above the ceiling there. That’s where all the electronics were, the electrics and every-thing else. We’re won-dering how they’re going to get that work-ing out and inspected.”

Up until last year there was also a big tent on the opposite end of the barns from where the Saddledome is, known as the Big Top.

“For years we showed in there,” Mc-Gibbon said. “But now they tore that down be-cause they are building a new facility where it was and the new facili-ty will not be ready until next year. So push come to shove we could have went back to the Big Top, but

“So I don’t know,

McGibbon said they intend to leave next Wednesday for the

not knowing the fate of this year’s activities.

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature re-sumes with a brief throne speech on Wednesday and an up-dated budget Thursday that will be the focus of opposition critics in a month-long summer session.

NDP house leader John Horgan said the government’s plan is to push a “bogus” budget through “while people are at the beach,” and then continue the B.C. Liberal tradition of skipping scheduled fall sessions in October and November.

Horgan said the government’s target to limit health care spending growth to less than one per cent hasn’t been achieved since former premier Bill Bennett’s restraint program in the early

1980s.“At some point the

reality has to hit the road, and this is why, I believe, they have jammed us in here in July, rather than having a more thoughtful ses-sion starting in Sep-tember, when their [spending authority] runs out,” Horgan said.

Finance Minister and B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong hasn’t ruled out a fall sitting of the legisla-ture. He promised “no surprises” during the rare summer sitting, which the government intends to wrap up by July 25.

De Jong said he will update resource reve-nues that have changed since the current bud-get was introduced in February, and inde-pendent economic forecasts that have downgraded projec-

tions for B.C. economic growth since then.

The government plans no new legisla-tion in the summer session, or reintroduc-tion of provisions for an election for B.C. senators and other bills that were left unpassed when the legislature adjourned for the May election.

After a series of defi-cits since 2009, the February budget pro-jected a surplus of $197 million for the fiscal year ending in March 2014.

That is to be reached with an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 10 to 11 per cent, a temporary 2.1 per cent increase in personal income tax above $150,000 a year, and a $2 per carton in-crease in tobacco taxes effective in October.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am, dear readers, to know that those in the mighty bureaucracy that makes this country

what it is are looking out for my — and your — best interests.

I speak of price collusion, which we, the lowly consumer, some-times — perhaps unjustly — feel we are being made a victim of.

But now we know we have a champion, an agency who feels our pain as consumers of a com-modity we all must have, a necessity in these modern times, some-thing we simply cannot do without.

How many times just before a long weekend have we watched the price of this valued commodity rise? How many times have we, the helpless consumer, said, ‘I will not buy it at that price’, but then find our-selves lining up to purchase it nonetheless?

But now the Competition Bureau has come to our rescue and has taken manu-facturers to task. A hefty fine — $4 million — has been levied. Doubtless lessons have been learned. And surely there will never be price fixing again.

In the chocolate industry.This is where you can do a spit take,

should you feel so moved.Yes, the Competition Bureau of Canada

has come out swinging against the choco-late industry, making the case for price fixing.

Confectionery giant Hershey Canada Inc. pleaded guilty and was fined $4 mil-lion for its role in a chocolate price-fixing cartel.

The company has pleaded guilty before the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto in

relation to the 2007 scheme, the Competition Bureau an-nounced last Friday.

Surely you are as relieved as I am. Surely you too had noticed that to whatever town you may travel, choco-late seemed to be the same price in every convenience

store. Even in gas stations.Just prior to taking a long driving trip,

say to Vancouver Island — which I did just two weeks ago — you carefully plan your route.

If I fill up on chocolate in Kimberley, I mused, then I would likely not feel the need for chocolate again until say, Salmon Arm. What would the going price be in Salmon Arm? It turned out chocolate was two cents per ... er bar, less expensive in Salmon Arm.

Then of course, I would purchase more chocolate in Chilliwack, whether I had completely exhausted my supply of Her-shey’s Kisses or not, because chocolate al-ways seems to be somewhat less expensive in Chilliwack.

I expected chocolate to be far more ex-pensive on Vancouver Island, given trans-portation issues. That is something nefari-

ous dealers in fine chocolate are always going on about, the high cost of getting the valuable commodity to you. Given that gas and diesel are so expensive, you under-stand.

I braced myself, for surely before I left the Island, I would need to purchase more chocolate.

Instead I was somewhat vexed to find that chocolate was almost eight cents a bar cheaper on Vancouver Island. But it’s an island, I said to myself. How can an island acquire chocolate more cheaply than a mountain town that sits so close to the famed chocolate refineries of northern Al-berta?

Alas, there are no answers. Chocolate is an essential commodity. One cannot run without it. So therefore, one pays what one must.

I was in fact bracing myself for the choc-olate price hike that will surely come this week as suppliers suddenly realize that there will be great demand for chocolate over the long weekend and prepare to take advantage of it.

But thanks to the Competition Bureau of Canada, I feel confident I will not be subjected to a price hike in advance of the Canada Day long weekend. Chocolate prices should remain stable.

Thanks, Competition Bureau. You are truly a heroic organization.

VANCOUVER - John Tortorella was sur-prised the subject did not come up in the first question, but he didn’t get angry or yell.

Yes, the new Van-couver Canucks coach acknowledged Tues-day, his reputation needs some restructur-ing, and he vowed to improve it as he at-tempts to give the city a long-sought Stanley Cup.

“This is the mess I put myself into, and this is the mess I’m going to get myself out of,” he said during a news con-ference.

The Canucks named the fiery Tortorella as their replacement for Alain Vigneault, the winningest coach in franchise history.

Known for being abra-sive, Tortorella is per-ceived as a bench boss who can lose his tem-per quickly, sometimes blasts players in public, and has little time for questions from report-ers.

Vigneault was known more as a cere-bral coach who laughed on many occasions and had a rapport with the media. But Tortorella, dressed in a dark suit and tie and smiling at times, turned on the charm at a news confer-ence, even thanking a reporter for her ques-tion.

It was all part of Tor-torella’s effort to let people get to know him better and deal with the media more effectively.

“I know how import-ant that part of the job is here,” Tortorella said. “When you lose your job, you crawl into a hole a little bit, you re-assess yourself, you try to learn, and I have cer-tainly gone through that process.

“Have I made mis-takes? Absolutely. I make my own bed in this type of situation with the perception of

The athletic depart-ment at Mount Baker Secondary School is looking for some coaches to lead a few athletic teams when the next school year begins in September.

The most pressing need is the opening for a football coach, as current head coach Steve Lightfoot is step-ping away. Without a head coach, the pro-gram is in danger of folding, according to athletic director Dan

Loewen.Any interested can-

didates should have some playing and coaching experience at the high school level, with the knowledge to teach the fundamen-tals of the game.

The team practices every day of the week

and plays 10 games in the Interior AA league—six on the road and four at home.

In addition to the football program, Mount Baker is also looking for coaches for both the boys and girls junior volleyball teams.

Applicants should be able to teach funda-mentals and integrate skills in to system play.

Anyone interested in either coaching po-sitions can contact Loewen at 250-426-5241 ext. 646.

myself in the media. But I know how import-ant it is with this job here, especially in this city and this province.”

He is also known for battling verbally on oc-casion with players. But Tortorella, who has 24 years of coaching expe-rience and won a Stan-ley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, still vowed to be de-manding of his charges and hold everyone - in-cluding scoring stars Henrik and Daniel

Sedin - accountable.“We have a really

good leadership group ... but we have not won the Stanley Cup,” he said. “There’s going to be more asked of (the players), and that starts from the twins right on down.”

Tortorella, a 55-year-old Boston native, has reached the playoffs on eight occasions and won the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in 2004. He was let go four days after the

Rangers’ season ended with a second-round loss to the Boston Bru-ins.

An assistant with the Rangers in the 1999-2000 season, he took over for John Muckler as head coach for the final four games. Tor-torella later spent seven seasons as head coach of the Lightning with whom he won the Stan-ley Cup before taking over as head coach of the Rangers in February 2009.

Routine preseason for Ice as WHL releases schedule

The WHL has released it’s preseason schedule and things are pretty routine for the Kootenay Ice.

The club will attend a tournament in Tri-City featuring teams in the U.S. Division. Kootenay will play in three games against the Americans, Spokane Chiefs and Everett Silvertips on the weekend span-ning from Sept. 5-7 1013.

After the tournament, the Ice will meet up against the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the Crowsnest Pass on Friday, Sept. 13th, and take on the Calgary Hitmen on the following Sunday to close out the exhibition schedule.

Four tournaments are featured around the WHL in Tri-City, Everett, Edmonton and the Crowsnest Pass. The exhibition season features 59 games, and Kootenay will suit up for five contests.

The WHL will release the full regular season schedule on Wednesday.

Anchorage exploring a bid for 2026 Winter OlympicsANCHORAGE, Alaska - The city of Anchorage

has formed an exploratory committee to help deter-mine whether it should bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The 23-member committee, which includes four Alaska Olympians, held its organizational meeting on Tuesday.

Anchorage was the United States Olympics Com-mittee choice for the 1992 and 1994 games that went to Albertville, France, and Lillehammer, Norway.

Mayor Dan Sullivan says Anchorage was well suited to host games then, and is in even a stronger position now.

James hopes to keep onplaying with Bosh, WadeMIAMI - LeBron James says he is not thinking

about the possibility of becoming a free agent in 2014 yet, though he does think that the opportunity to compete for several more championships with the Miami Heat is “the ultimate.”

James can opt out of his contract next summer, as can Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. There’s still a second straight NBA title to defend this coming sea-son, along with a chance at making the Heat just the fourth franchise to win three consecutive champi-onships. He also has a wedding looming this sum-mer to his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson.

Flyers buy out Bryzgalov, after doing the same to Briere

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Flyers are parting ways with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren con-firmed in a statement that the team will use its sec-ond compliance buyout on the mercurial netmind-er.

Bryzgalov still had seven years on a nine-year, US$51-million contract that came with a cap hit of $5,666,667 per season.

His time in Philadelphia was characterized by inconsistent play, a perceived lack of competitive-ness and clashes with the media.

In 425 career games with Anaheim, Phoenix and Philadelphia, Bryzgalov is 208-149-45 with 30 shut-outs, a 2.55 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage.

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews hoists the Stanley Cup at TD Gardens in Boston following a stun-ning 3-2 victory against the Bruins on Monday night.

Core in place, Blackhawks think they can make

another Stanley Cup run Jay Cohen

Associated Press

CHICAGO - When Rocky Wirtz took over the Chicago Blackhawks six years ago, they were among the worst teams in the NHL.

Fast forward to Tues-day, when the owner mingled with fans and friends hours after the Blackhawks flew home with the Stanley Cup for the second time in four seasons. It’s been quite the turnaround, and the 60-year-old Wirtz thinks there is more to come.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of good years ahead of us,” he said.

It sure looks that way.Unlike in 2010, when

the title-winning team underwent changes be-cause of salary-cap is-sues, the Blackhawks will be able to bring back many of their top players next season when they try to be-come the first repeat Stanley Cup winner since the Detroit Red Wings in 1998.

Forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Pat-

rick Sharp, and defence-men Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are all under contract for at least two more seasons. Brandon Saad, one of the finalists for the Calder Trophy given to the NHL’s top rookie, is years away from restrict-ed free agency.

“I think there’s some-thing about our core,” said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs. “Hopefully we can stay together a long time, be-cause that’s two Cups in four years, and we seem to only be getting better and better as players as time goes on here.”

The Blackhawks lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons, but general manager Stan Bowman decided to stay the course.

He kept Joel Quen-neville in place even though the coach was hired by his predeces-sor, Dale Tallon. Corey Crawford was given time to develop in goal, and he rewarded the or-ganization’s patience

with a terrific perfor-mance in this year’s playoffs. Kane matured into one of the NHL’s top players.

Ask Wirtz and team president John Mc-Donough about the Blackhawks’ turn-around, and their re-sponse often includes some variation of hire the right people and then stay out of the way. The steady leadership in the front office is one of the reasons Chicago is the first franchise with two titles since the NHL instituted a salary cap in 2005.

“I think Stan Bow-man and Al MacIsaac and Norm Maciver and everybody in our hock-ey operations, they do a meticulous job,” Mc-Donough said, “and they’ve been planning for this off-season as we did before for months and months, so we’ll be ready for it.

“We’re going to do everything we can and try to keep as many of these guys as we can and just keep this roll-ing.”

Canadians continue to rally on the court at Wimbledon

C anadian Press

LONDON - Milos Raonic capped an impressive start by Canadian play-ers at Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Argentina’s Carlos Berlocq on Tuesday at the All-England Club.

Raonic, the No. 17 seed from Thorn-hill, Ont., needed less than two hours to complete the 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 win to become the fourth Canadian to reach the second round at the Grand Slam event this week.

It has been 25 years since four Ca-nadians won first-round singles matches at the same major. Sebastien Lareau, Daniel Nestor, Sonya Jeyasee-lan and Jana Nejedly last accomplished the feat at the Australian Open in 1988.

Raonic, who has struggled of late to get his grass-court game in form, said he was happy with the way he played Tuesday.

“My game feels a lot better than last week,” Raonic said. “We worked on a lot of things. Also, this is a grand slam and you bite down harder.”

The 22-year-old had 19 aces and just 18 unforced errors in the match.

“I kept the pressure on (Berlocq) the whole time,” Raonic said. “I’m feel-ing much more comfortable on grass. I’ve had moments in the past when I doubted myself, but I’m playing with more peace and confidence.”

Raonic’s next opponent will be Igor

Sijsling of the Netherlands, who beat American Alex Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

Ottawa’s Jesse Levine also won his opening match Tuesday, a day after Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil and Mon-treal’s Eugenie Bouchard posted victo-ries.

Levine defeated Guido Pella of Ar-gentina 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 4-3. Pella had to be helped off the court midway through the fifth set with an apparent hamstring injury.

The match lasted nearly three hours as the 112th-ranked Levine advanced to the second round for the second straight year.

Pella appeared to slip on the grass and received medical treatment while lying on the baseline. He shook Levine’s hand before being taken away on a stretcher.

Levine said he was able to refocus after dropping the third and fourth sets.

“My energy went down and I got away from my game plan,” Levine said. “I wasn’t hurting him any more with my shots. He is good on clay and slow surfaces so I wanted to force him to speed up.

“In the first and second sets I took it to him, I didn’t want to get into a long battle. I finally got back to doing what I had been doing. I’m glad to be into the second round.”

“A World of Warm Wishes, Grads!”

Graduation is a signi� cant milestone in any person’s life. It is a time to celebrate accomplishment, and to mark a rite of passage onto the next stage of life. � ere are few times in one’s life where so much seems possible, and with an education those possibilities are real. A solid public education is one of the greatest gifts society can provide to our children. With knowledge comes independence and opportunity. Without education, life is much more di� cult. As you � nish this level of schooling, I hope that you will become advocates for a quality, accessible public education system. Congratulations on your graduation. Make the most of what has been given to you. MLA Norm Macdonald

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Strap on your seat belt. You are about to enter a three-week period of chaos. Do not sign anything that involves your home or domestic life through mid-July. Opportunities will reappear shortly afterward. Tonight: Chat with a dear friend.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Just when you start to think you have it all together, you might discover that you don’t. A challenging person could push you to the point where you have an issue. Communication is highlighted. Tonight: Work on an important project till the wee hours.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Recent events might propel you to take another look, especially as you encounter a standstill. You never anticipate a snafu, but in the next few weeks you could have more than your fair share of them. Use good sense with your finances. Tonight: Let your mind drift.CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Honor a change. You can’t get away from the feeling that you are about to enter a new phase of life. First, test out and share any details, especially in areas involving your goals. Refuse to stand on ceremony with others for the next few weeks. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You might want to defer to oth-ers as tension builds. One way to avoid a misunderstanding is to let someone else run the show. Just the same, you might have an issue with maintaining clarity. Tonight: Test out an idea with a trusted adviser before you share it.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Emphasize networking and communication, as interactions might not be going smoothly. The good news is that you’ll be able to find out what the cause is. Use this knowledge to make corrections. Tap into your imag-ination to create more of what you want. Tonight: Play it easy.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Allow your ingenuity to carry you through an awkward mo-ment or two. Stay open to the

possibilities, and you’ll see what goes on behind the scenes. What you do with that infor-mation is your call. You might not have the control you desire. Tonight: Take a midweek break.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Communicate with a family member rather than stand on ceremony with this person. Pressure builds to an unprec-edented level if you ignore a domestic matter. Let your cre-ativity and intellect merge. As a result, you’ll find the answers quickly. Tonight: Head on home.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You might be more verbal than you realize. Your focus remains on a key relationship, even if you are out socializing and net-working. Confusion surrounds your home or a domestic is-sue. Make sure that everyone’s watch is set to the same time zone! Tonight: Make it easy.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You might want to hold off on making any big purchases or signing any agreements for a while. This might be hard to sit on, but if you don’t, the chance of something backfiring is high.

More will come out about this situation later, if you just wait. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You beam, despite having a lot of responsibility on your plate. These extra tasks actually are a reward for being very present in a situation and making good decisions. Understand that there are limits to your energy. Save time for yourself, too. To-night: Try being a bit lazy.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Your sensitivity and ability to observe will merge. You might not want to spill the beans, and that would be a wise decision. A new friend would like some extra attention. Be careful with relationships like this, as others are more on edge than normal. Tonight: Go with the moment. BORN TODAYNFL quarterback Michael Vick (1980), singer/songwriter Gretchen Wilson (1973), fashion model Tuki Brando (1990) ***

Dear Annie: We live in a quiet family neighborhood. Recently, a neighbor tried to locate the owner of a rental home next door in order to discuss a shared fence issue. When our neighbor could find no contact information through the city department of housing, he searched the Internet. He was shocked to discover that for the past 10 years, the owners have had a porn site regis-tered at that rental home address. None of us wants a porn site associated with our neigh-borhood. How should we handle this? -- No Name or Location, Please

Dear No Name: While we certainly un-derstand your moral objections, these own-ers seem to be running a legal operation. Most web-based or home-based businesses are fine unless there are customers or em-ployees coming to the house. There may be a requirement to have a business license, but that’s about it. You can contact a lawyer in your city to find out whether there are other possibilities, but we suspect there is nothing you can do, legally, about this. Sorry.

Dear Annie: I share a small workspace with someone who constantly coughs, sneezes, clears her throat, blows her nose and grunts. Worse, she never covers her mouth, so I am surrounded by airborne germs all day. It’s extremely annoying and interferes with my ability to concentrate on my work. I know some of this is allergies, but she also doesn’t stay home when she is sick.

I have offered cough drops and antihista-mines, which she has refused. I suffer from allergies, as well, but try to keep my symp-toms to myself. I have talked to my boss, but she won’t deal with it. Other co-workers are unwilling to switch desks with me (under-standably). I used to like going to work, but I am ready to hand in my notice. What do you suggest? -- Had It with the Hacking

Dear Had It: First be more direct with this co-worker, explaining your discomfort and asking her to please cover her nose and mouth. If that doesn’t help, can you com-plain to the human resources department or a higher-up? Is it possible to move your desk? Would you be willing to wear a surgi-cal mask or filter? Allergies can’t always be helped, but people should be considerate of one another.

Dear Annie: I read your advice to “Ner-vous in Vermont” with much interest, being the parent of a transgender child myself.

Even if an initial conversation may have seemed encouraging, it can be dangerous for trans kids to come out to their parents. Half of all homeless kids are LGBT, some as young as 12, and were kicked out of their parents’ home after coming out to their fam-ilies. And a staggering number of trans kids end up committing suicide if met with scorn, shame or parental refusal to accept or dis-cuss the subject. Coming out must be done eventually, but unless the child is nearing 18 or has contingency plans, one must take into consideration the things that can go wrong.

I’d like to offer a couple of parental re-sources for such situations:

Trans Youth Family Allies (imatyfa.org) is a wonderful group of parents of trans kids that includes a support email list, as well as organized trainings for schools and other or-ganizations.

Gender Spectrum (genderspectrum.org) holds a yearly Gender Spectrum Fami-ly conference in Oakland, Calif., as well as a trans-masculine oriented Gender Spectrum conference in Seattle, Wash.

These two groups can be of incredible assistance to parents after their kids have come out. We’ve found that going through the process of accepting our kids is not dis-similar to the grieving process. What is lost is not the person (thank goodness), but our hopes, dreams and plans for our child. We fear for them and their future. But we sup-port each other and learn to move on, cre-ate new dreams and celebrate our children’s true identities. -- Sara Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug-ar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Brownies in the heart of the savannah The 2nd and 5th Cranbrook Brownies recently spent the night in deepest Africa. Fifty girls, guiders and

mothers visited the Calgary Zoo for an overnight stay, at the Savannah enclosure, Friday, June 7, fortunate-ly before the recent flooding. There were hippos, meerkats, red river hogs, a whole variety of snakes and giraffes, and one lone peacock, all who contributed to a noisy but exciting night for the girls. Sparks, Brown-ies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers are always having excellent adventures. If you’re interested in learning more, if your daughter wants to join, or you would like more information on becoming a leader, visit the website www.girlguides.ca, or call the Cranbrook Guide Hall at 250-426-2062. Check out the Cranbrook Girl Guides on Facebook. Photos by Lyndell Classon.

Gordon Elwood DockingBorn: October 28, 1923 in Dauphin, Manitoba

Passed Away: March 31, 2013 in Kimberley, BCAge: 89

“He was such a fine man”, were sentiments echoed at his passing. “There was always so much fun and

laughter in their home”.

When you think of Gordon, you think of how important his family was to him, canoeing in the cedar strip canoe he built, the walks enjoying nature, of him carving diamond willow canes, gardening, and the second love of his life, his yellow lab Brandy.

During WWII, Gordon was in the 3rd division, Infantry Reconnaise, Canadian17th Royal Duke of York Hussars.  

Returning from war, he married the love of his life Lois on Sept.13, 1947 and raised a family of three.

Gordon worked for the Department of Transport for numerous years. From working for DOT in The Pas, Manitoba, the family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he was Asst. Airport Manager, then back to The Pas, where he was Airport Manager. In 1965 the family moved to BC. where he was the Assistant Manager of Vancouver International Airport. Gordon also worked for Gulf Oil as a salesman.  He was the top salesman in Canada for eight years running.  In 1987, he and Lois retired in Cranbrook.

Gordon was predeceased by his loving wife Lois on September 4, 2011 and his grandson Daniel Holland on April 17, 2010.

Lovingly left remembering their dad, grandpa and great-grandpa are his son Tom (Betsy), their family Rod, Annie, Samantha (Trevor) and Christie; his daughter Kathy (Tom), their family Jennifer (Jeff), their son Alex and Heather (Shane) their son Eli; and his daughter Lori (Sean), their family Keegan and Cooper.

In recent years Gordon resided at Garden View Village, Kimberley. He enjoyed the friendship of the residents and staff there.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Smith, the staff at Garden View Village and the Pines, where he was so content and well cared for.

A memorial service for Gordon will be held on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at Garden View Village in Kimberley, BC.

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

Upon graduation, she worked as a Dental Assistant until she married Bill on September 9, 1947 and moved to Vancouver, BC. Prior to the children arriving, Irene worked for a medical clinic. She moved to Cranbrook in 1968 with her husband to work in a new business venture.

Another passion of Irene’s was the love of her garden and flowers, giving her great pleasure. She loved the outdoors spending many years of camping, fishing, water skiing, golfing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and curling.

Obituaries

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our Mother and Oma in Calgary at the age of 83.

Mom was predeceased by her parents, brother and only son Aurthur. She is survived by her 2 daughters Monika (Scott) and Linda, plus 6 grandchildren; Shannon, Brandon, Brianna, Brittany, Marissa and Janessa.

She immigrated to Canada in 1957 and spent the last 26 years in Calgary, 14½ of them in a nursing home. She so struggled with illness over the years, and although we are very sad we are also relieved her suffering has ended.

Rest in peace, Mama, we love you.

A Service was held in Calgary, Thursday, June 20th, 2013.

Round The MountainThis year the biggest trekking, hiking, running, walking and biking race competition in Kimberley had a record breaking number of

registrations. 450 people participated in the event, ranging from children to seniors, challenging themselves and encouraging their fel-low athletes. As well, participants came from all over the East Kootenay to Kimberley to challenge the North Star Mountain Trail.

Family and friends of the athletes were there to cheer them on after they crossed the finish line and accomplished their personal goals.

Kimberley’s Frank Ackermann came in first place for the 20K race at this year’s Round the Mountain.

Winter Knudsgaard from Kimberley came in first place in the Round the Mountain Kiddie Extreme one kilometre run and bike.

The Round the Mountain featured a number of events for kids of all ages, even toddlers, for running and biking around their very own trail. The kids demonstrated excellent perfor-mances in the races.

Photo ContributedCompetition was tough between the three on-course aid stations to be the “Best Aid Station in North America”. Here we have Aid Station #1 with their interpretation of a M*A*S*H unit. Pictured, left to right: Mike Dutoit; Janet Pearson; Rob McInnis; Cora Miller.

The kids had a blast with face-painting and prizes for everyone who crossed the finish line.
