PROUDLY SERVING KIMBERLEY AND AREA SINCE 1932 | Vol. 82, Issue 215 | www.dailybulletin.ca

F E R DY B E L L A N DOne morning in April,

1944, Philip “Bud” Abbott climbed into the cockpit of a Fairey Barracuda bomber, took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier Furious, joined a squad-ron of fighters circling overhead, and set off into aerial combat for the first time.

The target of the at-tack by two Royal Navy squadrons was what Brit-ish officers bitterly re-ferred to as “the Iron Whore.”

“We finally rounded the last turn at the far end of Kaafjord and actually saw the Tirpitz anchored in harbour,” Abbott told the Townsman last week. “There she was!”

And then, all hell broke loose.

The Tirpitz was the sister ship of the dreaded Bismarck, and was the largest battleship ever built by a European navy. Since the destruction of the Bismarck in 1941, the Tirpitz had been holed up in a Norwegian fjord, sel-dom venturing forth to attack Allied shipping, but still a great menace which kept allied war-ships tied up when they were needed elsewhere.

“It really didn’t do any damage,” Abbott said. “But the whole time it was anchored in Norway it presented an enormous threat, to the point where

it basically tied up the British Home Fleet in Scapa Flow, watching for this damned thing to come out.

“And if it did come out and got into the shipping lanes, it would create enormous havoc. Quite a monster.”

The Royal Naval Air Service

Bud Abbott, well-known around Cran-brook, joined the Royal Navy in 1941.

“I was contemplating volunteering, and my first choice was the Navy,” he said. “I thought if I wasn’t accepted into the Navy that I’d try the Royal Air Force (RAF). I managed to end up in what you would call the Naval Air Force. So it was an ideal combination of the two — the Fleet Air Arm. I was chosen as a pilot, so I went into training for some time and starting flying later in 1941.”

Abbott was assigned to convoy work in the North Sea and the Atlantic, doing anti-submarine pa-trol work.

“We’d go halfway across the Atlantic and then back again, since we’d be met halfway by American or Canadian naval crews.”

Over the next two years, Abbott flew many types of aircraft.

“I mostly flew the Swordfish — an old-school biplane, fixed un-dercart, no hood, no can-opy, open air, no radio. Quite a neat, light little plane. We called them “Stringbags” since it seemed they were tied up mostly with haywire. It tottled along, not very fast.

“From there we went on to a more advanced biplane, the Fairey Alba-core. It had a sliding canopy, so we’re inside — out of the weather!

“Our planes were called TBR: Torpe-do-Bomber-Reconnais-sance. But reconnais-sance was our principal duty. Later on we devel-oped sonar to locate enemy submarines, but to begin with, we just kept our eyes open.”

Abbott said he never got to drop depth charges on any U-Boats. “The U-Boats were gen-erally very wary and stayed down and deep, out of sight. They were wise enough not to show themselves. We would fly patrols over the sea for three or four hours and then head back to the carrier and be re-placed by another flight shift. Not very exciting, that.”

Abbott also did a few test runs with the Spit-fire, the Hurricane, the Firefly and the Gladia-tor.

“Those were all flown in fun — not in opera-tion. I found the Spitfire to be very touchy. With every little move on the joystick, the thing was jerking all over the place. Extremely sensitive! And landing was quite tricky. It was anxious to take off again all the time!

“Flying those sort of dogfighters was quite different from the air-craft we flew. Our ma-chines were usually quite slow and heavy.”

Abbott spent the next two years flying routine, uneventful patrols. But in 1944, all that would change dramatically.

Up until this point, Abbott had never expe-rienced aerial combat.

“We never went across the Channel, never flew over France,” he said. “We were con-cerned with the North.”

anti-aircraft guns. When World War II broke out, both the Tirpitz and the Bismarck were consid-ered a major threat.

The pursuit and de-struction of the Bismarck in 1941 was a major pro-paganda boost to the Al-lies, who at that point in the war were struggling to stem Axis advances.

Hitler forbade the de-ployment of Tirpitz as a result, for fear of its loss. Tirpitz languished at the Wilhelmshaven naval base until mid-1942, when she made her way to Nazi-occupied Nor-way. Tirpitz’s new assign-ment was to guard the Norwegian coastline against potential Allied

invasion, as well as lay in wait to attack  Allied supply convoys crossing the North Sea to the So-viet Union.

And with that threat lurking on the edge of Allied operations at the Arctic Circle, there lay the groundwork for Op-eration Tungsten — as the attack on (and de-

struction of) the Tirpitz was to be named.

“Many of the ships were desperately re-quired in other theatres of war. But they were just sitting there, watching this damned Tirpitz, ter-rified. But really, the Tir-pitz was doing almost nothing. Occasionally being bombed, or being

shelled, but with very lit-tle damage, because it was so well-armoured, and so difficult to get at. Most of the attacks by air were aborted because it was so hard to get at in this hole it was sitting in. An enormous distrac-tion, all around.

PHOTO FROM THE COLLECTION OF BUD ABBOTT

This photograph was taken on April 3, 1944, from the cockpit of Philip “Bud” Abbott’s Fairey Barracuda bomber by Abbott’s nav-igator. The explosion on the left side shows Abbott’s bomb hitting the C-turret of the German battleship Tirpitz and exploding.

Attack on the Tirpitz: 1944The main British

base in Scotland was Scapa Flow, in the Or-kney Islands. “The entire Home Fleet could gather in there in comparative safety,” Abbott said. “I flew off several aircraft carriers: the Illustrious, the Indomitable, the Victorious, the Furious, and others.”

Abbott paused in his recollection. “And one day the orders came to kill the battleship Tir-pitz.”

The TirpitzThe Tirpitz was offi-

cially launched in 1939 by Hitler himself. The statis-tics are still impressive 70 years later: 823 feet long and 116 feet wide amid-ships, the ship displaced 58,000 tons fully loaded and sat 30 feet in the water. Tirpitz was pro-tected by two separate armoured decks of 15 inches of hardened steel.

The 163,000-horse-power engine gave her a top speed of 30 knots (56 kmh) — the fastest bat-tleship afloat. Her crew complement was more than 2,000 officers and men and she was armed with over 118 guns, ranging from eight 380 mm main-turret can-nons down to 88 mm

HOGLUND, AlbertRE-ELECT X

3Experience 3Strong Voice 3Willing to [email protected] Paid for by the committee to elect Albert Hoglund.

“And I understand that the officers and crew of the Tirpitz were all just moping there in this idiot fjord, doing nothing, and thoroughly bored. They would be anxious to get some ac-tion.”

And action they re-ceived: the British Ad-mirality initiated Opera-tion Tungsten — a pow-erful task force was as-sembled in Scapa Flow consisting of 21 ships, including two battle-ships, six aircraft carri-ers, and 10 destroyers. And, among his fellow squadron pilots on board the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious: Pi-lot-Lieutenant Philip Abbott.

“I’d been stationed on the Victorious at that time,” Abbott said, “but we were temporarily switched over to the Fu-rious. The squadrons were split between the two ships so we could all take off simultaneously. I went over with the rest of my squadron to the Furious. The Furious was a weird ship, the oldest aircraft carrier afloat at that time. She was laid out in 1915, but she wasn’t originally de-

signed as an aircraft car-rier —she was refit in the 1920s! And her deck always rolled to and fro, like a bloody logging truck!”

The fleet set out on March 30, 1944, under the ruse of protecting an arctic convoy.

“We sailed back south, and on the 3rd of April we launched our attack,” Abbott said. “We would not fly Stringbags this time — for this mis-sion, we were to fly Fairey Barracudas.”

The attackForty bombers flew

in two waves, 10 from each ship, along with squadrons of escort fighters — Hellcats, Wildcats, Corsairs, and  Seafires.

“I was in the second wave. The first wave flew off at the break of dawn and got through to the target without any prob-lems. They weren’t ex-pected. They dropped their bombs and flew back to the carriers. Got through unscathed, with no casualties.”

But there was an hour’s lapse between waves. It took time to raise the next round of Barracudas up to the

deck, fuelled and armed.“There were 80 fight-

ers flying escort for us 40 bombers,” Abbott said. “Some of those fighters, especially those beauti-ful gull-winged Corsairs, flew off the carriers like a damned rocket. Quite impressive. While us, the underpowered heav-ily-laden bombers, were crowded to the far aft of the flight deck. We hoped to hell we could gun the engine hard enough to make enough speed to actually catch the air and take flight when we roared off the edge of the ship’s bow!”

Abbott was frustrated with his reassigned air-craft. The Barracuda was a dive bomber, as well as a torpedo bomber and a reconnaissance plane.

“The Barracuda was an interesting, but frus-trating plane. It was a flying three-seater abor-tion, really. Way under-powered, with that Mer-lin 32 engine. On paper, the damned thing was supposed to make 386 kmh, but in practice you could only cruise at 160, 170 knots...maybe 200 mph — downhill, with a following wind, yes?”

“During our run on the Tirpitz, we fortu-

nately didn’t have to dive bomb. We came in at a reasonable angle — not like a bloody Stuka! As a plane, the Barracuda was okay, but it was only okay. Nothing you would brag about in the offi-cer’s canteen.”

Once in the sky with his dubious aircraft, Ab-bott and his squadron were now all business.

“So there we were, Petty Officer Gallimore and Sub-Lieutenant Peck and myself, crammed into this Bar-racuda. We flew in for the coast, barely 50 feet above the waters to avoid German radar. The Tir-pitz was 120 miles from our fleet, and when we reached the Norwegian coastline, we all climbed steeply to about 9,000 feet altitude and flew in-land between the moun-tains. It was a bright, clear day at the end of winter. The mountains were gleaming white with snow, and the de-lightful scenery was very impressive.”

The breathtaking beauty of the Norwegian wilderness was forgot-ten, though, as Pi-lot-Lieutenant Abbott neared his target.

“The first wave had inflicted significant damage on the Tirpitz. They landed several

Attack on the Tirpitz: Operation Tungsten

bombs on the ship’s main deck, and caused all sorts of ruckus — but none of the big 1600lb armor-piercing bombs managed to pierce the lower armour in the hull! The first bomber pilots had dropped their ordnance at too low an altitude for the penetra-tion to be effective. And the Germans were spit-ting mad, and had had a good hour to prepare themselves for any fol-low-up attacks. So we fi-nally rounded the last turn at the far end of Kaafjord, and actually saw the Tirpitz anchored in harbour. There she was!”

And then, all hell broke loose.

“We were immediate-ly met with a heavy bar-rage of anti-aircraft fire, and dozens of Luftwaffe interceptors raced at us out of the sun! Our par-ticular squadron, I think there were nine of us, peeled off from the main flight and began our at-tack run. We could see the ship, but much of it was clouded in by an ar-tificial fog, created by the shore-mounted Ger-man smokescreen gen-erators. Down in this fjord, this deep hole, if you will, and difficult to see! But each Barracuda had three 500-lb bombs,

and we had to deliver them. So down we dove, our Barracuda shudder-ing through the explo-sions of the incoming anti-aircraft shells. Diffi-cult to keep aiming straight. Our escort fighters were dogfight-ing like mad with the Messerschmitts in the skies above us, and other fighters were below us, strafing the Tirpitz’s deck and attacking the anti-aircraft batteries on shore. We dropped our bombs, made our strike, and then banked off hard. We flew away as fast and low as we could get, racing back to the carriers. It all happened so very fast. Our squad-rons got out of the skir-mish quite lucky, actual-ly. We only lost 9 airmen and 4 aircraft, all told. It could have been a heck of a lot worse, but the Tirpitz’s smokescreen actually worked dou-ble-duty in our favour. The German anti-air-craft gunners couldn’t see us and were all firing blind into the sky.”

Even with the attack run successfully com-pleted, Abbott’s squad-ron wasn’t out of the woods yet.

“At that time after the attack, the weather sud-denly became quite cloudy. It was now diffi-cult to find our ship, and we were still over enemy territory. No one knew if the Luftwaffe would chase us down. And we were flying under com-plete radio silence. Radio communication was absolutely forbidden on this operation. We’re up there in the clouds, and the carrier was somewhere down un-derneath the clouds. Some of the pilots couldn’t find our ships, and had to ditch in the North Sea and make their way back to the Norwegian shore, where they had to surrender to the rather unsympathet-ic German troops. But we managed to locate the Furious.”

And even still, the gut-wrenching drama was not finished.

“Our approach to landing back on the car-rier deck was to come in high, just above the stall, as opposed to the Amer-ican method where they bore in just above the waves. The stern of the carrier would be heaving up and down in the choppy seas, as much as 30 feet of movement high and low. You ran the risk of simply crash-ing hard and flat into the ass-end of the carrier if you didn’t have your wits about you. We came in high at full throttle, just above the stall, and came down almost in the cen-tre of the deck, where there was a minimum of movement, and you hope to hell your brak-ing hooks would catch the deck cables. You were a nervous wreck!”

The aftermathThe British High

Command agreed that Operation Tungsten was a success, even though the  Tirpitz wasn’t de-stroyed. She was severely crippled.

The Tirpitz never took to open sea again, and was ultimately de-stroyed on 17 Novem-ber, 1944, by RAF bomb-ers.

Abbott reflects on the loss of life among the Tirpitz’s crew. “We killed 123 and wounded an-other 329 of them, in-cluding her commander Hans Meyer. But that was part of it. It was war.”

Abbott continued. “It was a shame, really, to have such a magnificent ship destroyed. It was a shame to have this sort of idiocy prevailing. The idiocy of war. It would be wonderful to see such a fine piece of naval his-tory sitting pretty in some maritime muse-um.”

After that unforgetta-ble day of fire and steel, Abbott’s next missions fell back into less haz-ardous duties.

“It was a good, clean life,” he said of his time in the Navy. “Much bet-ter than standing in mud up to your knees in the trenches.”

Letters to the editorBlinding me with science

I was inspired by the editorial piece by Tom Fletcher (Nov 4, “Hot Gases Spew from Legislature”). Mr Fletcher, unofficial Mouthpiece for the BC Liberals and otherwise TOTALLY unbi-ased investigative reporter posited that he is a skeptic with re-gards to the Climate Change science. My guess is that like me, he was tempted to accept the overwhelming consensus (98% ac-cording to the UN) of credible scientists that climate change is happening and that humans’ greedy consumption habits are the root cause. But then our legislative ‘watchdog’ came across the testimony of the expert he turns to on this subject, Vancouver Liberal MLA Laurie Throness who denies the science. Take that … NASA, United Nations, World Health Organization, Environ-ment Canada, … our MLA has just checked his iPad Mini and his labyrinthine atmospheric modeling does not agree with yours! Game over?

So emboldened by this sage testimony, Mr. Fletcher has not yet made up his mind.

Well, Mr. Fletcher, you had me at ‘inconvenient’. It’s hard to worry about the future world of my grandchildren when I’ve got to come up with payments on my Hummer, speedboat, and gas-powered leaf blower in this here and now world. I don’t think these pesky environmentalists grasp the gravity of my situ-ation.

Did someone mention “gravity”? Until recently, I’ve been fairly well convinced that gravity exists. Consensus in the scien-tific community is about the same as the existence of climate change. Even better but, again, not 100%. I’m sure Mr. Fletcher can find scientific experts, like Mr. Throness*, that deny gravity’s existence but I’ll help him out here. Take my friend, Slobber. Slobber is convinced he can float. He usually makes this claim after he has smoked a couple of his ‘silly cigarettes’. Slobber* isn’t the only scientist that denies the existence of gravity. Erik Verlinde, a physicist, also denies it. Interestingly, he is a profes-sor at the University of Amsterdam where I am told silly cigarettes are in abundance.

My point is why should Mr. Fletcher and I, or you, give in to these climate change and gravity proponents with their ‘ad-vanced degrees’ and their ‘facts’, when only 98 or 99.9 percent of them agree? As Mr. Fletcher opined, “the jury is still out”. I think the jury Mr. Fletcher is referring to is also debating if the earth is flat.

*DISCLAIMER. Although they like science, Mr. Throness and Slobber are not real scientists.

Business/residential taxationI read in the November 4 issue of the Townsman the spin Ms.

Cross puts on local taxes.Her idea of City business property which, I believe, is held by

the majority of present council illustrates exactly why we need elected representatives who will run the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook as just that — a corporation.

It is well and good to say Cranbrook is 94th out of 161, but what does that really mean? What do Cranbroo commercial properties receive for being 94/161? Garbage pickup? Cleared walks — which, by the way, are not owned by business? Reduced water and sewer rates due to lower usage? Store front parking? Drivable streets? What does the City provide to a commercial property that is not also provided to a residential property?

Irrespective of how high the commercial tax rate is, the relief as Ms. Cross sees it is that taxes paid by a business are a “deduct-ible expense for businesses and not for residents …”

While basically correct, she is not expansive with this explana-tion. Yes, taxes are deductible in that the paid amount is subtract-ed from the total amount and subject to corporate tax. This is federal/provincial government allowance, not the city’s.

Additionally, what Ms. Cross and some others on council, in my opinion, fail to understand is that whatever the amount, it must be earned before it can be deducted.

We must make the City equitable and affordable for all prop-erty owners and reduce the unfair difference between classifica-tions. A dollar of property value should be taxed at the same rate no matter where the building is located. Why should a $500,000 home pay less property tax than a $250,000 commercial building.

Businesses large or small are what drive this and any commu-nity.

thankless tasksI am perplexed at some statements in door-to-door pam-

phlets and letters to the editor regarding the folks running for Council seats and Mayor. Seems like everyone wants to fix roads and increase economic activity without raising taxes, or even re-ducing them, without saying where to cut expenses. We know this is currently impossible as the city budget and financial state-ment indicate little wiggle room. The Province only funds partic-ular projects in their attempts to exert control over municipal spending. They find funds for a municipality with no people, scattering caribou over western North America and wining and dining LNG officials, but not for installing badly needed culverts. Many necessary and frequently urgent expenditures must be covered by our property tax dollars. For example if the RCMP dictates a salary increase for their personnel it takes an unexpect-ed chunk out of the City’s spending money.

The pressures of running for office can bring one down to a lower level where innuendos, labeling and pointing out past per-ceived mistakes emerge. To those intent on criticizing some of those running for office this week, I would suggest they reread the recent column by our local curmudgeon (Townsman, 3 No-vember) and determine whether they see themselves as an ex-ception to his statement, “Why does an apparently sane person become involved in such shenanigans? Is it an ego trip? His take on the use of statistics to back up biases is also apropos. Further, as Aaron Levenstein has stated, “Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”

It seems to me that the current Mayor and Council have done an admirable job of balancing the priorities and warding off the devil (higher taxes). I would not resent paying higher taxes to enlarge the contingency fund and maintain and improve existing infrastructure. It’s a thankless task being on Council, because the city needs to be attractive for potential new business entrepre-neurs, so we have to spend to keep up appearances and keep the pipes intact to bring healthy water in (with fluoride) and waste out. To paraphrase a common proverb, “We can satisfy some of the people all the time and all of the people some the time, but not all of the people all the time.”

deer managementIn his election flyer, Mayor Wayne Stetski states he will “pro-

mote non-lethal deer management harvesting…” A harvested deer is a dead deer; Stekski is playing with words. He’s ignoring the city’s deer survey where 70 per cent were in favour of a cull, which shows his appetite for listening to the people in a demo-cratic way.

Wayne’s dynamic vision includes ignoring the mountains of scientific evidence. Hundreds of cities in the U.S. have tried trans-location, and rigorous research utilizing radio collars has caused U.S. wildlife agencies to ban relocation as too cruel. Capture myopathy cripples 40-80 per cent. Release city deer into predator country where they are unfamiliar with the roads, ravines, escape routes, and the rest are gone/sacrificed.

In the March 24, 2014 Kootenay Advertiser, Stetski states: “Translocation of mule deer and whitetail deer have never been tried in B.C.” Andrew Walker, a wildlife biologist for the B.C. gov-ernment, explains why the province does not support transloca-tion of deer: “Although the non-lethal approach to urban deer management may appeal to the public as it appears to be an easy and humane solution, in reality the translocation process can be difficult, expensive, stressful to the deer and has resulted in high post-translocation mortality rates.” (Townsman, March 6, 2014)

This is not leadership on Mr. Stetski’s part. Catering to igno-rance, that our deer are different from the deer in the U.S., is not what an informed citizen can vote for.

Hats off at the table!Sometimes the aches and pains present when rising to meet

the new day says it all.However, to me, my old age is definitely confirmed when I

enter a restaurant and my eyes are greeted by a fellow seated eating, quite possibly with a member of the fairer sex,while ne-glecting to remove his hat. Now, perhaps his head is in the same similar condition as his manners and he doesn’t wish it seen, or it is merely cold. But I do know that if, as a boy, I had come to the dinner table wearing a hat it would have suddenly been some-where across the room whilst my face rested in the mashed pota-toes.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun,” said Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union and the man who inad-vertently administered a mercy killing to Communism in Europe. He’s 83 years old, he played a leading role in ending the last Cold War, and he’s practically a secular saint. Surely he knows what he’s talking about.

No he doesn’t. Not only has this new Cold War not begun already, but it’s hard to see how you could get it going even if you tried. The raw material for such an enterprise is simply un-available. You can summon the ghosts of history all you want, but they are dead and they can’t hear you.

Gorbachev was speaking in Berlin, now once again the capital of a united Germa-ny, on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even he would agree that it turned out to be, on balance, a Good Thing, but he is a great deal more ambiva-lent about the collapse of European Com-munism and the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

His original goal, and his hope right down to the end in 1991, was to save Com-munism by reforming it, not to bury it. He also believed, or at least hoped, that if he could make Communist rule “democratic” and user-friendly, he could save the Soviet Union as well. But the Soviet Union was just the old Russian empire in new clothes.

Gorbachev was and is a romantic, and he undoubtedly agrees with his rather less cuddly successor as president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, that the collapse of the Soviet Union was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” So of course he ends up defending Putin’s ac-tions and blaming the United States and NATO for this alleged drift into a new Cold War.

It’s all nonsense. Nothing could have saved the old Soviet Union. It was the last of the European empires to fall, mainly because it was land-based rather than sea-based, but only half its population was Russian. When it finally dissolved, fifteen different nations emerged from the wreck-age, and its collapse was no greater a loss to civilisation than the fall of the British or

French empires.And the main reason

you can’t have a new Cold War is precisely because the “evil empire” (as Ron-ald Reagan famously called the Soviet Union) longer exists. There is only Russia, a largely de-industrialised

country that is run by a kleptocratic elite and makes its living by exporting oil and gas.

Russia has only 140 million people (less than half the United States, less than a third of the European Union), and its armies are no longer based around Berlin and all through eastern Europe. They are 750 km (500 mi.) further east, guarding Russia’s own frontiers. They occasionally grab a bit of territory that isn’t covered by a NATO guarantee (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Crimea, Luhansk, Donestk), but they dare not go any further.

So you could get a really unpleasant NATO-Russian confrontation out of this for a while (although it hasn’t happened yet), but not a real Cold War in the old globe-spanning style. Russia just couldn’t hold up its end of it. As for World War Three, don’t worry. Putin cares a lot about saving face, but not that much.

Which leaves the question: who is to blame for this regrettable hostility between Russia and the Western powers? The West, in Gorbachev’s view. In fact, he had a whole list of complaints about Western threats, crimes and betrayals.

NATO broke its promise and let all the

Eastern European countries that had been Soviet satellites during the Cold War join NATO. It let Kosovo declare its indepen-dence from Russia’s traditional friend, Ser-bia. It launched wars of “regime change” in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) that Moscow disapproved of. It even planned a missile defence system that al-legedly threatened Russia’s nuclear deter-rent (if you could believe that it would work).

Diddums. Yes, Russia has been invaded a lot in its history, but the license to be paranoid expires after fifty years. Of course the Eastern European countries all clam-oured to join NATO; they’re still terrified of Russia. The Western great powers do lots of stupid stuff and some seriously bad stuff, and Russia has also done a fair amount of both in the past decade and a half under Putin.

The job of diplomats, and of leaders in particular, is to avoid the really stupid and dangerous stuff, and keep the rest to a min-imum. Barack Obama has been quite good at that, as has German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Putin used to be good at it, but is not so good now, perhaps because he has been in power too long. His military inter-ventions in Ukraine have been alarmingly rash.

But nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. The Ukrainians were told years ago that they couldn’t shelter under NATO’s security blanket, and they have chosen to defy Moscow anyway. They may pay a high price for that, and the West-ern alliance’s relations with Russia may go into the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin’s reign. But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event that defines an entire era.

Heartbreak city at College of the RockiesCamosun College Chargers spoil home-opening weekend for Avalanche volleyball

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Lady Avalanche left side Mackenzie Morey (#5) gets up for the kill Saturday afternoon against the Camosun College Chargers. The visitors from Victoria swept the Lady Avs in the weekend, improving upon their PACWEST-best record of 8-0. The Lady Avs fell to 2-4 on the season.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

It’s often said home is where the heart is. Unfortunately for Col-lege of the Rockies Ava-lanche volleyball, home was where the heart-break was this past weekend.

For the first time since the PACWEST vol-leyball season opened Oct. 30, the Avalanche were in familiar territo-ry, hosting the Camosun College Chargers Friday and Saturday at College of the Rockies.

After coming away from a season-opening road swing with an even record of 2-2 through the Lower Mainland, the Lady Avs dropped both games by identical scores of 3-1 to the Char-gers on home court.

After falling behind 2-0 Saturday afternoon, the Lady Avs battled back, winning the third set by a decisive 25-17 mark.

“This team has no quit in it, none whatso-ever,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin Saturday afternoon. “The character is a big thing with these girls. When they keep their energy up, they feed off of each other. Nobody stays down and every-body stays on a high and just rides the wave.”

Trying to force a fifth and deciding set, the Lady Avs fell behind 22-16 before rattling off

six consecutive points to tie things up. With mo-mentum on the home side and the Chargers reeling, Camosun head coach Chris Dahl called a timeout to settle his side.

The breather worked, as the Chargers claimed the remaining three points needed to take the set and the match.

“It was about finish-ing right at the end,” Zur-rin added. “Every game, we got to 22 [points] and right at the end, that little bit of a push to finish off the other team, call it the killer instinct, we just didn’t have that this weekend.”

Left side Kelsey Thompson continued her strong start to the season with 18 kills and 28 digs over the week-end. Right side Jayden Roch and left side Mack-enzie Morey each crushed 16 kills in sup-port.

“Our bench is getting stronger and stronger, and people are stepping up, which makes us a taller, more dynamic team,” Zurrin said. “We got a couple new players into the match that didn’t see any game ac-tion [previously]. They get the jitters out of themselves as a result.”

Though Zurrin had some positives to take away from the weekend setbacks, life wasn’t quite as peachy for head coach Steve Kamps and the men’s team.

After falling in a tightly-contested five sets Friday night, the Avs came out and laid an egg Saturday after-noon as the Chargers cruised to a straight-sets victory to earn the week-end sweep.

“Bottom line, it’s serving,” Kamps said Sat-urday afternoon. “Friday night, I thought we were the better team on the court in all areas of the game, except for serving. We missed 28 serves and some periods, we missed six, seven or eight [serves] in a row. When you’re not putting the ball over the net, you’re not going to win.

“[Saturday], we re-duced our errors from the service line, but the serves weren’t tough enough. As a result, Ca-mosun was able to side out, bang some balls, gain some momentum and we just weren’t able to compete with that be-cause of our serving.”

Kamps said there is only so much that can be done to address the serv-ing errors, suggesting too much focus on that area in practice can be detri-mental to the mental as-pect of the game. De-spite this, he acknowl-edged a number of his players need to work on their routines.

“It’s the one thing that’s holding our team back,” Kamps added. “In my mind, if we had a serving machine serving to both teams, we’d be

6-0 right now. We’re 1-5 because of our serving.

“We’re making that many errors and we’re still competing. We com-peted hard. I thought we controlled the play, blocked well and were physical. Both setters came in and did a good job this weekend. I think we can take positives

from that -- with that many errors, we’re still giving ourselves a chance to win.”

Next up, the Avs host the Vancouver Island University Mariners . La-dies action goes Friday (6 p.m.) and Saturday (1 p.m.). The men are also slated for Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.).

The Kimberley Dy-namiters dropped back-to-back outings this past weekend, falling 2-1 to the Fernie Ghostriders on the road Friday, be-fore hosting the Prince-ton Posse in a 5-1 defeat Saturday.

Friday’s test in Fernie was of particular impor-tance. Earlier in the week, head coach Jerry Bancks characterized it as a measuring stick for the Dynamiters, who were neck-and-neck

with the Ghostriders in pursuit of first place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Moun-tain Division.

After two losses this weekend, the Dynamit-ers now find themselves five points behind the Ghostriders, and only four points ahead of the surging Creston Valley Thunder Cats and Gold-en Rockets.

Tyson Klingspohn maintained his lead atop the KIJHL goal-scoring charts, tallying the Nitros only goal Friday in Fern-ie. The marker gives the

Penticton native 20 goals through 20 games. Josh McCulloch, who regis-tered the game-winning goal in Fernie’s 2-1 victo-ry Friday, is hot on Kling-spohn’s heels with 19 goals in 19 games.

After turning in a 40-save performance in de-feat Friday, goaltender Liam McBain had a rough go of it on home ice, victimized five times on 28 shots.

The Princeton Posse used a three-goal second period and a three-goal performance from Kurtis

Klinger to get out of Kim-berley with a 5-1 victory.

Forward Jason Rich-ter registered the only goal for the Nitros Satur-day night.

The Dynamiters hit the road for three games in three nights start Fri-day night when they visit the Kelowna Chiefs. Sat-urday night, Kimberley gets a crack at revenge when they roll into Princeton. The three-game swing closes out Sunday evening when the Dynamiters visit the Summerland Steam.

Ducks grounded by viral infectionassociaTed Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Right wing Corey Perry and defenceman Fran-cois Beauchemin have missed practice with the Anaheim Ducks due to a viral gland infection.

Perry and Beauche-min are being kept away from their teammates with their contagious

condition, the Ducks said Tuesday. Both vet-erans are undergoing further medical tests.

Perry has missed the Ducks’ last three games after falling seriously ill and requiring intrave-nous fluids from a local hospital last week. The former NHL MVP is still

tied for the league lead with 11 goals heading into Tuesday’s games.

Beauchemin missed Sunday’s game against Vancouver.

Anaheim (10-3-3) hosts the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.

Habs deal with Stars; acquire veteran D goncharc anadian PressMONTREAL - The

Montreal Canadiens have acquired defence-man Sergei Gonchar from the Dallas Stars in exchange for forward Travis Moen.

Gonchar missed the first 11 games of the sea-son with a foot injury and has one assist in three games since his return.

The 40-year-old has 798 points in 1,256 regu-

lar-season games.Moen has yet to re-

cord a point in 10 games this season.

The 32-year-old Moen has 125 points in 690 career regular-sea-son games.

CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELLCALL: 426-5201 EXT. 202

Dear Annie: I’ve been on antidepressant and bipolar medication for 12 years. The problem is, I feel I am being overmedicat-ed. I want to sleep all day. I am also legally deaf. I live with my parents because I am unable to drive. My depression and resulting destructive spiral caused my grades to go south in college, which has interfered with my ability to find a good job in my field, and not all employers are willing to make accom-modations for a hearing disability.

My family does not treat me particularly well. The medication helped a lot, but being on the meds for so long has caused other problems, including issues with my short-term memory. I am tired of taking medica-tion that I feel is hindering more than help-ing. I saw a counselor for a while some years ago, and that did more for me than any med-ication could.

My family refuses to listen to me when I tell them the new medication is causing ex-cessive drowsiness. I have been told to sim-ply suck it up. My family won’t let me stop the medication. I know I am bipolar, but this does not give my family the right to treat me like a second-class citizen.

I would like to find a job so I can earn enough money to go back to college, but I have no idea where to start. My only job ex-perience is some community service I did as part of my high school graduation require-ments. -- Fed Up in a Lonely Home

Dear Fed Up: First phone or make an ap-pointment to see the doctor who prescribed your current medication, and explain the drowsiness. It is likely you can have it ad-justed. Also, you could use some emotional support. Please contact the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance at dbsalliance.org. Then check your state, city and county government offices for jobs for the disabled, along with the U.S. Dept. of Labor (doleta.gov) and servicelocator.org at 1-877-US2-JOBS. Don’t let your parents’ lack of support hold you back.

Dear Annie: My husband is a chain smoker, has very poor dental hygiene and has lost many teeth.

He has never been an affectionate per-son, but when he does decide to kiss me, I am repulsed by his cigarette breath and the fact that he hasn’t brushed his teeth. There-fore, I usually try to avoid being near him.

My question to you is: Should I nicely tell him he needs to see a dentist? -- S.

Dear S.: Yes, dear. Otherwise, you will be stuck with this situation for the rest of your married life, and over time, it will put a ter-rible and unnecessary strain on your rela-tionship. Tell him that his breath could use some assistance. Make him understand that not brushing his teeth puts him at risk for heart disease. We suspect he harbors a fear of dentists, so assure him that current den-tal techniques take that into consideration, and there are various ways to alleviate dis-comfort. Ask him to come with you to find a dentist he is comfortable with. Also buy him some breath freshener that he can gargle with. That may be all he is willing to do, and it will help.

Dear Annie: It is with disgust that I feel the need to respond to “Disappointed,” who is in support of individuals blowing their noses at the dinner table.

I realize she’s climbing on the “medical excuse train” in order to offset accountabil-ity for grossing out her dinner companions, yet I found her reasons to be selfishly juve-nile at best. I, too, have a medical condition -- colitis. Does that justify continuous flatu-lence at the dinner table?

Get over yourself, honey. If you feel the need to blow your nose, excuse yourself. If you blow constantly, politely decline any dinner invitations until you schedule an appointment with an allergist and an ENT. -- Blow It Out Your Ear Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug-ar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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.
