Dan- ielle Cardozo brought for- ward her concerns about the nature of the debate about putting Fire Hall no. 1 up for sale. Cardozo said there is a lot of feedback coming in from the public on the issue and she would like to see more public input brought for- ward before council makes a decision. “It’s been made clear that there is a lot of voice — for, against. Whether it has to do with the Arts Council or not, it’s heritage, it’s culture. Clearly residents of Cran- brook are saying they want to have a voice in this. I would like to see some sort of community consultation on this regarding the use — whether it be preserva- tion, selling, arts council, private interests, anything.” Cardozo asked if the communication department could look into a consulta- tion process that would be far-reaching and cost-effec- tive. Mayor Lee Pratt respond- ed with his opinion on the matter. He acknowledged that there has been a lot of discussion on the issue, but said most of it has been one-sided. He said on top of the letters to the editor in the newspaper, he’s been inun- dated with emails from peo- ple who don’t live in or pay taxes to Cranbrook. He said they also have a strong opin- ion on the matter. “A lot of it seems to be directed to a specific group of people, namely the CDAC (Cranbrook and District Arts Council),” Pratt said. “All credit to them — they’ve done a great job or- ganizing that — but the truth of the matter is I don’t think the public realizes the money that the city spends on arts and culture in Cran- brook.” Pratt said he is taking part in an exercise at the moment to find out how much the city has spent. “I know last year one arts and culture organization got almost $146,000 from the city,” he said. “I know that this year, my rough estimate is we have already allotted $300,000 to the arts and cul- ture. The issue that we’re hearing is that we’re not supporting it, and that’s not true.” Pratt said his message to the public is that if you’re not in favour then get your voice heard. “By all means, let’s be heard,” Pratt said. “It’s that silent majority that we keep thinking about.” But Pratt also noted that the fire hall was an issue in the election as pointed out in a recent Letter to the Edi- tor. “I believe 100 per cent that it was, and I would also point out the fact that it seems that everybody that was in favour about it didn’t get elected or re-elected,” Pratt said. “We’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars, of time and money of the city on this issue and going to a referendum or prolonging it further is just going to cost more money. The end result is that I think we were elected to make a decision and we should do that within the next couple of weeks and get on with it.” Coun. Tom Shypitka agreed. “I think the people of Cranbrook need a voice, and we’re that voice,” Shypitka said. “To ask any further is kind of anti-production on what we were elected to do. There’s a lot of hard deci- sions to be made. I think we’re all intelligent people up here. I think we’ll look at all the facts. I think nobody’s biased one way or another, we’re all looking out what’s best for Cranbrook.” Coun.

ARNE PETRYSHENAs Monday night’s city

council meeting was draw-ing to a close, Coun. Dan-ielle Cardozo brought for-ward her concerns about the nature of the debate about putting Fire Hall no. 1 up for sale.

Cardozo said there is a lot of feedback coming in from the public on the issue and she would like to see more

public input brought for-ward before council makes a decision.

“It’s been made clear that there is a lot of voice — for, against. Whether it has to do with the Arts Council or not, it’s heritage, it’s culture. Clearly residents of Cran-brook are saying they want to have a voice in this. I would like to see some sort of community consultation

on this regarding the use —  whether it be preserva-tion, selling, arts council, private interests, anything.”

Cardozo asked if the communication department could look into a consulta-tion process that would be far-reaching and cost-effec-tive.

Mayor Lee Pratt respond-ed with his opinion on the matter. He acknowledged

that there has been a lot of discussion on the issue, but said most of it has been one-sided. He said on top of the letters to the editor in the newspaper, he’s been inun-dated with emails from peo-ple who don’t live in or pay taxes to Cranbrook. He said they also have a strong opin-ion on the matter.

“A lot of it seems to be directed to a specific group

of people, namely the CDAC (Cranbrook and District Arts Council),” Pratt said.

“All credit to them — they’ve done a great job or-ganizing that — but the truth of the matter is I don’t think the public realizes the money that the city spends on arts and culture in Cran-brook.”

Pratt said he is taking part in an exercise at the moment

to find out how much the city has spent.

“I know last year one arts and culture organization got almost $146,000 from the city,” he said. “I know that this year, my rough estimate is we have already allotted $300,000 to the arts and cul-ture. The issue that we’re hearing is that we’re not supporting it, and that’s not true.”

Pratt said his message to the public is that if you’re not in favour then get your voice heard.

“By all means, let’s be heard,” Pratt said. “It’s that silent majority that we keep thinking about.”

But Pratt also noted that the fire hall was an issue in the election as pointed out in a recent Letter to the Edi-tor.

“I believe 100 per cent that it was, and I would also point out the fact that it seems that everybody that was in favour about it didn’t get elected or re-elected,” Pratt said. “We’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars, of time and money of the city on this issue and going to a referendum or prolonging it further is just going to cost more money. The end result is that I think we were elected to make a decision and we should do that within the next couple of weeks and get on with it.”

Coun. Tom Shypitka agreed.

“I think the people of Cranbrook need a voice, and we’re that voice,” Shypitka said. “To ask any further is kind of anti-production on what we were elected to do.

I think nobody’s biased one way or another, we’re all looking out what’s best for Cranbrook.”

Coun. Norma Blissett pointed out that it is really two issues —  the future of the fire hall and a location for the arts council.

Fire Hall future fans flames of debate

Couple wants to open medical cannabis dispensaryCAROLYN GRANT

Medical marijuana is a growth industry, says Ta-mara Duggan of Kimberley.

Duggan and her hus-band, Rod, were at Kimber-ley City Council on Monday evening, informing Council of their plans to open Tama-rack Dispensaries, purvey-ors of high quality medicinal

cannabis products, in Kim-berley.

Medical marijuana can be distributed through Health Canada, but that only allows for the purchase of dried plant product from au-thorized growers. But Dug-gan says there are many who could benefit from the me-dicinal qualities of cannabis

who don’t wish to inhale it.Their plan is to promote

the use of edible cookies, butters, oils and tinctures in a storefront that is “upscale and clinical”.

“Image is everything in the dispensary business,” Duggan said. “We will be as presentable and profession-al as any pharmacy.”

Tamarack Dispensaries will be a member of the Ca-nadian Association of Medi-cal Cannabis Dispensaries. The CAMCD’s vice presi-dent is Dana Larsen, who headed up the decriminal-ization of marijuana peti-tion last year.

“I like to say we are not legislated,” Larsen said.

“When dispensaries have gone to court, the court con-sistently recognizes that we’re helping people, that the federal government’s medical marijuana program is a failure; and they are not willing to treat it like a seri-ous crime.”

T r e vo r C r aw l e yInquiring minds dis-

played their theories for all kinds of projects at the East Kootenay Re-gional Science Fair this past weekend.

Hosted by the College of the Rockies, the fair featured over 110 projects in the com-petitive portion and a further 60 in the non-competitive por-tion that included students from School District 5 and 6.

Four projects were selected to represent the East Kootenay at the Canada Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, which fea-tures student projects from across the country with rough-ly $1 million in scholarships up for grabs.

Sandi Lavery, co-chair of the EKRSF committee, said the science fair is all about stoking the imagination and curiosity of young students.

“The children are always excited to share their work and all their critical thinking skills and their projects,” said Lav-ery.

Lavery noted that the stu-dent body was more diverse this year, with more older Grade 11 and Grade 12 stu-dents entering projects into the fair.

“We want to really try to get more [of them] because there are so many scholarships available at the regional level

as well as the Canada Wide Fair and if we’re able to send some students with Grade 11 or 12, they have an increased chance of scholarships all over the country,” said Lavery.

When it comes to evaluat-ing the project, Lavery said the judges look for a few elements.

“The number one thing is scientific thought. So they’re looking at scientific thought, it’s not as much about the dis-play on the board than it is being able to answer the ques-tions, to discuss the topic and to discuss the science behind the topic,” Lavery said. “Not just repeating the science of their projects, it’s thinking out-side the box on what they could do.”

Some of the winning proj-ects included an innovative idea to use triangulation to block a cell phone for some-one sitting in the drivers seat of a vehicle. Another project looked at the effectiveness of sandbags using petroleum jelly in preventing flooding.

Additionally, there were other special projects such as a Grade One class from T.M. Roberts that studied the effect

of sunlight on different ob-jects.

In addition to the projects, there were displays out in the COTR lobby from organiza-tions such as the Kootenay Trout Hatchery and the Rocky Mountain Trench Society.

The event also featured a special guest speaker, as Abi-gail Harrison, or Astronaut Abby, came in from Minneso-ta to talk to students at the Key City Theatre and the COTR lecture theatre.

Harrison is a 17-year-old who has attended three rocket launches and is following her dream of becoming an astro-naut and being the first person on Mars.

“Government programs are sim-ply not meeting people’s needs,” Duggan told Council. “It’s simply a matter of time before legislation will govern this industry. If it’s not us, it will be someone whose vision is dif-ferent from ours.”

In the meantime, the Duggans have consulted with local RCMP Constable Chris Newel.

“We will work closely with the RCMP to ensure legitimacy and ac-countability in our business opera-tions.”

Newel said the RCMP would en-sure the business operated within the laws and regulations set down by Federal Government and Health Canada.

Duggan says she grew up with a strong ‘say no to drugs’ message and has never touched drugs, including marijuana. However, when her hus-band Rod was injured four years ago and she watched him deal with chronic pain, that changed. Last De-cember, they visited a dispensary in Vancouver and he tried the medici-nal cannabis. There was a marked improvement in his condition.

“I got my husband back,” she said. “Medical marijuana should be made

available to those who need it.”Rod Duggan says that there are

quite a few people in Kimberley, at least 100 that he is aware of, that need alternatives to opiates. And the business would hope to draw cus-tomers from Cranbrook as well.

Their product would be lower THC and focus more on the medici-nal benefits of cannabis.

“I would support it 100 per cent,” said Coun. Bev Middlebrook. “I know people with MS who need it.”

Coun. Nigel Kitto, says in his role as a registered nurse he often comes across people who need medical marijuana but don’t smoke.

Council had some concerns about security, but the Duggans said the product would not be on display and kept in three safes in the store. There would also be a security system.

They say they believe in responsi-ble stewardship and would only sell to eligible customers who meet stringent qualifying criterion, such as prescriptions. As legislation is brought in, they say they would wel-come more rules governing the busi-ness.

The Duggans hope to open Tam-arack Dispensaries by mid-summer.

April 92:15 a.m. An aban-

doned 911 call turned out to be a domestic dispute.

2:31 a.m. BC Ambu-lance requested assis-tance after getting a call that a male riding a bi-cycle was hit by a vehi-cle and may have been injured. Police located the vehicle that hit the cyclist, but could not lo-cate the cyclist.

9:09 a.m. An individ-ual stopped by the po-lice station to report an assault that occurred the week before. The matter is now under in-vestigation.

2:38 p.m. An individ-

ual requested that po-lice keep the peace while they pick up some belongings from a resi-dence.

6:28 p.m. Police were requested to help keep the peace during a custody matter.

6:57 p.m. A female was intoxicated and causing trouble in the Baker Park area. Police located the woman and arrested her for breach of court ordered condi-tions not to consume alcohol. She was lodged until sober and has been charged criminal-ly.

cence was obtained by the caller and police tracked down the vehi-cle and spoke to the owner, who explained that the children had been left in the care of the eldest, a 12 year old. Police determined that the child was capable of looking after them for that amount of time in this instance.

B ritain’s venerable blues-rock leg-end Eric Victor

Burdon was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1941, and was lucky to make it out of the crib; as an important British sea-port on the North Sea coast, Newcastle was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe during World War II, but the embattled citizens of that city en-dured and triumphed. The tough Northern working-class stoicism of postwar Newcastle provided the ambition and drive that has seen Burdon remain a vital musical force around the world for over five de-cades.

Burdon’s musical ca-reer began at the tender age of 16, playing trom-bone in the Pagan Jazzmen (which, after the addition of key-boardist Alan Price in 1959, swiftly evolved into the Pagans — fo-cusing on electric blues). The UK’s bur-geoning blues-revival scene (spearheaded by Cyril Davies and Alexis Koerner) enthralled Burdon, who was quick-ly respected around the Newcastle scene as a powerful vocalist and an energetic stage per-former. He spent the turn of the 1960s as a journeyman singer, briefly sharing bands with other future UK lu-minaries such as (Roll-ing Stones drummer) Charlie Watts and (Cream bassist) Jack Bruce before reuniting with Price to form the nucleus of what became one of the most popular UK bands of the 1960s: the Animals.

The Importance of Being BurdonUK Rock Icon Lives Up to His Legend

The Animals explod-ed internationally in 1964 with their searing interpretation of the tra-ditional folk-blues clas-sic “The House of the Rising Sun,” which went to Number One in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Sweden, and Finland. It remains the band’s most recogniz-able song, although the Animals cannot be ca-sually mistaken as one-hit-wonders; as one of the first-wave bands in the so-called “British Invasion” pop phenom-enon of the early/mid-1960s, the Animals were outranked in transat-lantic chart action only by the Big Four (the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and the Kinks), and were the first of the new UK stars to emerge elsewhere than Liverpool or Lon-don (future Newcas-tle-based musicians such as Lindisfarne highly credit Burdon & Co. for opening indus-

try doors to Northern bands).

The Animals’ hits are many: “We Gotta Get Outta This Place,” “It’s My Life,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” “Monterey,” “Sky Pilot,” “San Franciscan Nights,” and the deeper album cuts are as strong as the familiar tunes. Sadly, internal tensions within the band split the original lineup in 1966; Alan Price went on to a successful solo career, while bassist Chas Chandler made his own name in rock history by discovering and managing the then-unknown Jimi Hendrix. Undaunted, Burdon assembled fur-ther crackerjack lineups for the Animals and has kept the train a-rolling ever since.

Note: John Lennon nicknamed Eric Burdon “The Eggman,” which found its way into the Beatles song “I Am the Walrus.” Fact.

Burdon’s heartfelt love of black culture and black music found him briefly enjoying a parallel career as lead vocalist for the Califor-nian funk-rock band War, whom he first joined forces with in 1969. Thrilled by the band’s multi-ethnic openness, their adven-turous funk-blues-soul-reggae fusion, and their lyrical focus on brother-hood and harmony, Burdon lent his bellow-ing baritone to War’s best-known single “Spill the Wine.” Burdon’s stint with War was also notable for the last liv-ing performance of Jimi Hendrix; the iconic gui-tar hero sat in with War for almost 35 minutes at a September 1970 con-cert; Hendrix died the next day. Burdon him-self left War after col-lapsing from a sudden asthma attack mid-tour; War continued enjoying much 1970s success with hits such as “Slip-ping Into Darkness,” “Low Rider,” “The Cisco Kid,” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends.”

In true never-say-die Newcastle spirit, he re-focused his consid-erable frontman ener-gies after his recovery, both with new Animals lineups and yet another bold musical experi-ment: the Eric Burdon Band. The EBB was a pioneering hard-rock / heavy-metal unit which fit neatly into the new blues-based, high-vol-ume, post-psychedelic scene rising with the success of Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Ex-press, Beck-Bogert-Ap-pice, Free, and the mighty Led Zeppelin. EBB recordings have now become prized col-

lector’s items.And for the past 40

years, Eric Burdon just has not stopped … something very few of his surviving original British Invasion con-temporaries can boast. A regular favorite at blues-rock festivals across the world, a sought-after collabora-tor for young modern artists, and a consum-

mate professional, he continues to write and record new material, he refuses to rest on his laurels, and is more than happy to merely please himself … al-though millions world-wide also remain more than pleased.

It remains an admi-rable and enjoyable ex-perience to witness a true living legend on-

stage here in the East Kootenay. It’ll certainly be a show not to miss. Take a good look at Mr. Eric Burdon, Ladies and Gentlemen: you’ll never see another one like him again.

“I’ve had a few people say to me, ‘Hey, you’re thinking about selling the fire hall? Where did that come from?’” Blissett said. “If we separate out those is-sues … Certainly having the arts council in the fire hall is one thing, selling a public building that is part of our historical heritage in Cran-brook is another issue.”

Blissett said she wanted to look at the issues sepa-rately.

“Maybe we don’t need public input on the arts

council, because there has been a fair bit on that, but certainly if it comes up that we need to sell the fire hall, I think that’s another issue that we may need public input on,” she said.

Cardozo noted that one of the reasons the city has been put in this position is that the old fire hall was not managed properly.

“Do we want to set the precedent that if it is an asset that’s not managed properly we just turf it?” Cardozo asked.

Pratt disagreed on the management.

“It was a fire hall. It served it’s purpose. It came to the end of it’s life as a pur-pose. I think you’re treading on thin ice there, saying that it was not managed proper-ly, because it wasn’t man-aged (at all),” Pratt said to Cardozo. “Right now we’re here to manage it properly.”

Pratt said they have a va-cant building that will cost a lot of money to renovate up to code. He said if they sell the building that’s not the end of it.

Pratt also brought up the criticism that cities like Nel-son have a vibrant heritage presence downtown.

“I keep hearing ‘what about Nelson? Look at all the lovely buildings they have downtown.’” Pratt said. “They’re great, but they’re not owned by the city. Those are commercial enterprises that own those buildings and good on them they’ve preserved them. I can tell you that Nelson taxpayers didn’t pay to preserve them. That’s the issue we’re look-ing at — this is a corpora-

tion, we have to make a cor-porate decision… a sound business decision on that building. Selling it is not necessarily a poor decision, because there are rules and regulations around it.”

Pratt said they may put it up for sale and nobody will want it.

“But if somebody does come along, we look at their proposal and it could well be a very good proposal for that downtown revitaliza-tion that we’re looking for,” Pratt said. “But I think we have to explore those op-

portunities.”Shypitka noted that he

would never want to see the building destroyed.

“It’s a heritage status building,” said Coun. Isaac Hockley. “You can’t”

Shypitka said selling the building doesn’t mean los-ing the building.

“We’re just like Mayor Pratt suggested: Doing the responsible thing for our taxpayers,” Shypitka added.

Coun. Wesly Graham was absent from the meet-ing.

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2015

It is with great reluctance that I write about the Armenian genocide, as I know from experience that what I

say will infuriate both sides. But it is the hundredth anniversary of the catastrophe this month, and Pope Francis has just de-clared that the mass killing of Armenian citizens of the Ottoman empire in 1915 was indeed a genocide. Turkey, predictably, has responded by withdrawing its ambassa-dor from the Vatican.

Well, surprise! We’ve been listening to this argu-ment for several generations now, and it rarely gets much further than “Yes, you did!” “No, I didn’t!” Unfortunately, I know a lot more about it than that.

Ages ago, when I was a history graduate student doing research about Turkey’s role in the First World War, I got into the Turk-ish General Staff archives in Ankara and found the actual telegrams (written in the old riqa script) that went back and forth between Istanbul and eastern Anatolia in the spring of 1915.

Later on I saw the British and Russian documents on their plans for joint action with Armenian revolutionaries in the spring of 1915, so I also know the context in which the Turks and Armenians were act-ing. And I can say with some confidence that both sides are wrong.

There was an Armenian genocide. Of course there was. When up to 800,000 peo-ple from a single ethnic and religious com-munity die from violence, hunger or expo-sure in a short time, and they are under guard by armed men from a different eth-nicity and religion at the time, it’s an open-and-shut case. (Today’s Armenians say 1.5 million died in 1915, but that’s too high. It could be as few as half a million, but 800,000 is plausible.)

On the other hand, the Armenians des-

perately want their tragedy to be seen in the same light as the Nazi attempt to exter-minate the European Jews, and won’t set-tle for anything less. But what happened to the Armenians was not pre-planned by the Turkish government, and there was provo-

cation from the Armenian side. That doesn’t remotely begin to justify what hap-pened, but it does put the Turks in a somewhat differ-ent light.

A group of junior offi-cers called the Young Turks seized control of the Otto-

man empire in 1908, and their leader, Enver Pasha, foolishly took the empire into the First World War at Germany’s side in November 1914. He then led a Turkish army east to attack Russia, which was al-lied to Britain and France.

That army was destroyed in the deep snow around Kars — only 10 percent of it got back to base — and the Turks pan-icked. The Russians didn’t follow right away — poor generalship — but the Turks had almost nothing left to stop them if they did. The Turks scrambled to put some kind of defensive line together, but behind them in eastern Anatolia were Christian Armenians who had been agitating for in-dependence from the empire for decades.

Various revolutionary Armenian groups had been in touch with Moscow, offering to stage uprisings behind the Turkish army when Russian troops arrived in Anatolia. Learning that the Turks had retreated in disarray, some groups assumed the Rus-sians were on their way and jumped the gun.

Similarly the Armenian revolutionary groups further south, near the Mediterra-nean coast, were in contact with the British command in Egypt, and had promised an uprising to coincide with planned British landings on the Turkish south coast near

Adana. Quite late in the day the British switched their planned invasion much fur-ther west to Gallipoli, but once again some of the Armenian revolutionaries didn’t get the message in time and rebelled anyway.

Enver Pasha and his colleagues in Is-tanbul simply panicked. If the Russians broke through in eastern Anatolia, all the Arab parts of the empire would be cut off. So they ordered the deportation of all the Armenians in the east to Syria — over the mountains, in winter, on foot. (There was no railway yet.) And since there were no regular troops to spare, it was mostly Kurd-ish irregulars who guarded the Armenians on the way south.

The Kurds shared eastern Anatolia with the Armenians, but the neighbours had never been friendly. So many of the Kurd-ish escorts assumed they had free license to rape, steal and kill, and between that, the lack of food, and the weather, up to half the deportees died. To the extent that the Turkish government knew about it, it did nothing to stop it.

More Armenians died in the sweltering, disease-ridden camps they were confined in once they arrived in Syria. It was geno-cide through panic, incompetence and deliberate neglect, but it cannot be com-pared to what happened to the European Jews. Indeed the large Armenian commu-nity in Istanbul, far from the military oper-ations in eastern Anatolia, survived the war virtually unharmed.

If the Turks had only had the sense to admit what really happened fifty or sev-enty-five years ago, there would be no controversy now. The only duty of the current generation is to acknowledge the past, not to fix it (as if they could). Instead there has been a hundred years of blank denial, which is why the issue is still on the international agenda. It will stay there until the Turks finally come to terms with their past.

The Kootenay War-riors Spring Hockey Program is breaking the doors down, extending the hockey season for Cranbrook and Kimber-ley youth aged eight to 10 looking to fight right until the end with sum-mer approaching.

The spring hockey program, in its first year, hit the ice April 10 to 12 with the 2004-born War-riors Weekend Tourna-ment and continues this weekend with the 2006 Warriors Weekend Tour-nament at Western Fi-

nancial Place.“This past weekend,

the 10-year-old Chal-lenge Games featured teams from the West Kootenay, Calgary and Montana,” said program organizer Corey Spring in a press release. “The final game went to a sev-en-round shootout and featured some high-ly-competitive, skilled hockey.”

The Southern Alber-ta Battle, Okanagan All-Stars and West Koote-nay Avalanche will all travel to Cranbrook for the Kootenay Warriors Spring Hockey Chal-

lenge beginning Friday.Tournament festivi-

ties get underway Friday at 5 p.m. as the local Kootenay Warriors take on the Okanagan All-Stars.

In addition to the 2006-aged tournament, the Warriors will also host a variety of exhibi-tion games for 2004s and 2005s as the Southern Alberta Battle brings its 2004 and 2005 squads.

All games over the weekend will be played at Western Financial Place.

“We would love to see the community

come out and support our local players,” Spring said. “These games fea-ture the best of the best and will be the highest level of hockey at this age group that we’ve seen here in years.”

The Kootenay War-riors mission is to nur-ture individual and team hockey skill devel-opment, enhance char-acter and life skills and provide exceptional coaching and structure.

The 2006 Warriors Weekend Tournament wraps up Sunday, April 19, with the first-place game at 2:30 p.m.

Canadian roster for IIHF Worlds takes shapeSTephen Whyno

Canadian Press

Todd McLellan will coach a young but tal-ented Canadian team at the world champion-ships next month in Prague.

McLellan on Tues-day was named coach of Canada’s team, which will feature forwards Tyler Seguin, Claude Gi-roux and Nathan MacK-innon and defenceman Aaron Ekblad.

The 47-year-old Mc-Lellan, a native of Mel-ville, Sask., just finished his seventh season be-hind the bench for the San Jose Sharks. He was an assistant at the world juniors in 2000 but will be coaching Canada at this tournament for the first time.

Assisting McLellan are former New Jersey Devils coach Peter De-Boer, Carolina Hurri-canes coach Bill Peters and Sharks assistant Jay Woodcroft. Like Canadi-

an general manager Jim Nill, McLellan, Peters and Woodcroft all have connections to the De-troit Red Wings.

“This is a coaching staff with extensive expe-rience in the NHL and knowledge of the inter-national game, as well,” Nill said in a statement. “As a management group we are excited to work with this staff and look forward to building a roster and representing Canada in the Czech Re-public next month.”

Nill, and the man-agement group that in-cludes George McPhee, Claude Loiselle, Pat Ver-beek and Sean Burke, already has 19 commit-

ments for the tourna-ment, which begins May 1.

Seguin, Dallas Stars teammates Jason Spez-za and Cody Eakin and three Edmonton Oilers forwards led that group. Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nu-gent-Hopkins (pending his foot injury) will play for Canada.

The other forwards are Giroux of the Phila-delphia Flyers, Matt Duchene and Ryan O’Reilly of the Colorado Avalanche, Tyler Toffoli of the Los Angeles Kings and Tyler Ennis of the Buffalo Sabres. The de-fencemen are Ekblad of the Florida Panthers, Jake Muzzin of the Kings, Tyson Barrie of the Avalanche, Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks and David Sa-vard of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The goaltenders are Mike Smith of the Arizo-na Coyotes - the expect-ed starter - and Martin

Jones of the Kings. Duchene and Smith won gold with Canada’s Olympic team in Sochi.

“We could not be more pleased with this

first group of players who have committed to representing their coun-try,” Nill said.

“This group includes a fantastic mix of youth

and experience, and these 19 players are ready to get over to Eu-rope and wear the red and white of Team Can-ada.”

Canada can register four more players, in-cluding one more goal-ie, before facing Latvia to open the tournament.

HOROSCOPESby Jacqueline Bigar

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your words do draw a response from someone you care about. Go within and acknowledge your feelings. Be aware of what is happening between the two of you. People might seem a little off later in the day, and someone is likely to change his or her tune. Tonight: Not to be found.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be more forthright when deal-ing with others, and you will get a different reaction. You also could get a better understand of what is happening around you. Accept additional responsibility, as you will want to be in control of a project. Tonight: Find your friends.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You cannot stay in the world of your imagination forever. It’s important is to take a stand and express your different thoughts and ideas. Be aware that the responsibility to carry them out also could fall into your lap. Are you ready to be even busier? To-

night: A must appearance.CANCER (June 21-July 22)One-on-one relating touches others on a much deeper level. Even when dealing with asso-ciates you barely know, a direct gaze into someone’s eyes will show that person that you’re interested in what he or she has to say. Try to tame your mind! Tonight: Be near good music.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)A partner demands your atten-tion. You easily can fulfill this person’s request, as long as you can concentrate. You might want to carefully assess your work schedule. If you’re feeling pressured, just take a walk. Fresh air does wonders. Tonight: Count on being in demand. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Others will notice that you seem a bit spacy, and might see you in a new light. A friend will tap into your mindset and encourage you to continue in this vein of thinking. Allow your imagination to soar, and you will be amazed by what comes up. Tonight: Say “yes.”LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You’ll get a lot done quickly, as

a partner might be demanding your time. Though you will want to go your own way, if you are smart, you will make time for this person. In the long run, it could prevent a crisis that re-sults in a time-consuming issue. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Relate to a loved one directly. Others seek you out, and you could feel a bit uptight. You might want to be responsive to everyone, but you need to be selective with your time. You will approach a situation very differently as a result. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could find yourself in a situ-ation that you would prefer not to be in. A matter involving your domestic life demands a lot of attention. You could feel pushed and become testy. Say “no” rath-er than put yourself in a tizzy. Tonight: Observe a tendency to close down.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Initiate a conversation with someone who does not listen well. Try to cut the judgments about this person. Be more

open and forthright about where you are coming from. Ask questions. Return calls, as you’ll need to hear from a key person. Tonight: Be more serious.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)How you see a money matter might be quite different from how someone else sees it. You will be able to gain more under-standing if you can tap into his or her thinking. Sometimes the issue is the same, even if the ap-proach is different. Tonight: Let someone else treat.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) People gravitate toward you and make the impossible pos-sible. Someone whom you’ve wanted to have a conversation with suddenly might become available. You could see some closing down or withdrawal if this person is not ready. Tonight: Dream it up.

BORN TODAYArtist Leonardo da Vinci (1452), actress Emma Watson (1990), musician Anthony Green (1982)***

Dear Annie: How much can I ask my host about etiquette for her overseas wedding?

I live in Canada. The bride is French. I met her when she was briefly living in my hometown. She went back to France two years ago, and now she’s getting married there. The wedding invitation was sent to my name only, and there was not any kind of RSVP card that I’m accustomed to seeing. So I’m unsure whether I am welcome to bring a guest, since attending would involve a rather lengthy journey.

Would it be acceptable to email the bride and ask her whether I can bring my boy-friend? I don’t want to put her on the spot, but I also don’t want to bring my date to a country where he doesn’t speak the lan-guage and then stick him by himself for the day, only to find out later that they had ex-pected me to bring him. -- Beaucoup Baffled

Dear Baffled: Did the invitation appear to be formal or informal? If informal, it is per-fectly OK to ask the bride whether you can bring a guest. If it is formal, however, you’d have to be more circumspect. Email the bride and say that you would love to attend her wedding, but you aren’t certain you are up to making such a long journey by your-self. If she wants you to bring a guest, she will then tell you so. But if she doesn’t make such an offer, you can assume that her guest list is limited, sorry.

Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Holding My Breath,” whose spouse has ter-rible breath, I had to respond.

My husband had terrible breath, but he also had a very rigorous oral care routine, which made me wonder what else could be going on. Having been a dental assistant, I was aware of various odors from different oral diseases. The smell was not from what he ate. I ate it, too, and didn’t have such an odor. It was the worst thing I had ever smelled, and I just knew it was metabolic in nature.

His dentist simply told him it was “not dental in nature.” The doctor told him he was “fine.” Finally, after three months of worsen-ing gastrointestinal symptoms, his doctor gave him a blood test, and a colonoscopy showed a fist-sized tumor.

He underwent chemotherapy and was graced with a lovely ostomy bag. But during this time, the breath issue went away. When it recurred, it was because the lesions on his liver had spread. He passed away two months later.

I would get that man in for a full physical, including a colonoscopy. It could save his life. -- Been There

Dear Been There: Halitosis is often a re-sult of poor dental hygiene, but it also can be due to oral problems, throat issues, gum disease, infection, certain foods and some-times gastrointestinal difficulties. Some of these, as you have pointed out, can be quite serious. Please, folks, we want you to stick around for a long time. You must be an ad-vocate for your own health. If you suspect something is wrong, be persistent.

Annie’s Snippet for Income Tax Day (credit author Arthur C. Clarke): “The best measure of a man’s honesty isn’t his income tax return. It’s the zero adjust on his bath-room scale.”

six grandchildren, Tim (Louise), Paddy (Chris), Rachael, Brandon,

Teacher, wife, mother, grandma and friend - she sang and whistled her way through a life of change and hard work, bringing her many talents and sense of humour to all of life’s ups and downs.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Cottonwoods Care Centre - Bridgeway and Dr. Jan McIntosh for the very loving care she received throughout the last years and moments of her life.

A Memorial Service will be held at 4:00 p.m., Thursday, April 16th at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

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.

The KES Great Birdhouse AdventureJ e f f Co o l bau g b

Kootenay Educational Services (KES), formerly known as the Mt. Baker Annex, is for students from grade 10-12 needing a smaller site, a flexible schedule and an individu-alized program in a sepa-rate setting from Mt. Baker. Staff members provide strong mentorship to stu-dents and assist them in setting realistic goals and educational programs to fit their needs.

Part of the KES philoso-phy includes extra and cross-curricular experi-ences to promote healthy lifestyle choices, and posi-tive community/educa-tional connections.

KES recently received a grant from BC Govern-ment House Foundation: Stewards of the Future, to construct and place large birdhouses in the Cran-brook area.

As a school, we de-signed the birdhouses, used Mount Baker’s shop area to cut material, con-structed and decorated the houses, and finally bused out to the Cranbrook spray irrigation fields area to hang all 16 of the finished product.

Students had the op-portunity to work positive-ly as a team not only to cut and construct a finished product they could be proud of, but also to learn first-hand the effects of their efforts for wildlife in our local area.

They learned that be-cause of the increased man-made ponds in this area, there is greater eco-system diversity that at-tracts animals from small amphibians and turtles, to numerous bird species, right up to large ungulate populations.

The larger size bird-houses we constructed will promote habitat and nesting of ducks, kestrels, small owl species, wood-peckers and smaller song-birds. Students also used GPS technology to map out the locations for future observation providing them with a foundation for wildlife research field-work.

Overall, the students had a rich, hands-on expe-rience to see and under-stand how the different species in our area fit into the overall biodiversity of our beautiful corner of the world. We definitely plan to visit the new houses next year to see what has moved in.

Photos submitted Hanging birdhouses is a group effort.
