Cab driver robbed at

gunpoint in Marysville

TOWNSMAN STAFFA Kimberley taxi

driver was robbed at gun point just before midnight Saturday, RCMP report.

Cpl. Chris Newel says that the driver got a call asking to be picked up near the Marysville Park swings.

“The driver attend-ed; a lone male pro-duced a handgun and demanded money,” Newel said. “Once the subject obtained the money he fled on foot.”

Members from both Kimberley and Cran-brook quickly con-verged on the area, Newel said, and con-ducted extensive pa-trols.

“A Police Dog also at-tended and obtained a track but was but was unable to locate the sus-pect,” Newel said.

The suspect is de-scribed as a Caucasian male in his 30s, with blue eyes, wearing blue jeans, a black hoodie and a white ski mask. He made the call to the taxi from the payphone at the Marysville Petro-Can around 11:30 pm.

Police are asking anyone with informa-tion to contact the Kim-berley RCMP at 250-427-4811

A new local task force is tackling the East Kootenay’s childcare crisis.

Starting this spring, the group is conducting a child care needs assessment for the region. The assessment will

seek public input on prob-lems that families face in se-curing child care, and make recommendations on how to alleviate the issues.

The task force is made up representatives from the East Kootenay branches of Chil-dren First, Success By Six,

Child Care Resource and Re-ferral, as well as community members. Columbia Basin Trust and Teck are partnering with the task force.

“Many of us in our differ-ent roles have had people ap-proach us quite often about the childcare crisis,” said Pa-

tricia Whalen of Children First. “Right now, there are two scenarios in many of our communities: they either have the space for child care but not staff, or some com-munities have staff but no space.”

The group conducted a

survey recently that illustrat-ed the need for a comprehen-sive study of childcare issues.

“It was quite evident from that survey that there is a huge need in all of the com-munities,” said Whalen.

Rock violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist Tim Ellis thrilled the audience at a recent performance at the Key City Theatre. Meyer came to town at the invitation of the Cranbrook Violin Club, founded in 2010 by music teacher Kim Lutz. The club’s goal is to make music accessible to all families with young children. Earlier in the day, the students of Kootenay Orchards Elementary School were treated to an assembly with Meyer and Ellis, and afterwards the members of the Violin Club were fortunate to have the opportunity to attend Master Classes (pictured above) during which they learned about song writing and recording in addition to violin and guitar techniques from Aaron and Tim.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

“Out of 272 respondents, 80.5 per cent said they felt there was a need to do a more in-depth childcare assess-ment.”

Whalen said some of the task force members have spoken to fami-lies who are planning to move to Cranbrook and call to enquire about childcare availability. When they learn there is a wait list, some fami-lies change their relocation plans.

“It’s a bigger picture than I think is realized. People aren’t moving here.”

As well as childcare availability, the cost of childcare is an issue, Whalen said, mentioning that when she had two children in child care it cost $1,200 a month.

“That’s another part of the crisis – parents are feeling, ‘I’m basically just going to work to pay for child care,’” said Whalen. “It’s tough – there are a lot of people out there who are very employable but they can’t find the child care. So it cer-tainly affects our economy.”

Starting in the spring, a consul-tant will begin to circulate surveys about child care for community members to fill out. There will also be a round of community consulta-tion sessions.

The consultant will use the con-sultation to prepare a report on East

Kootenay childcare with recommen-dations. That report will be present-ed to the community, as well as to the recently announced B.C. Office for the Early Years, elected officials, school districts, city councils and chambers of commerce.

“A lot of people talk about the cri-sis but they don’t really know how bad it is until they see it on paper and they see the stats and the different types of childcare that are required to help our families,” said Whalen.

“Most people probably feels it’s 9-5 required, but then there are fam-ilies that need after school care, we’ve got parents who do shift work – there is quite a few scenarios.”

With the report in hand, the next stage will be acting on its recom-mendations, Whalen went on.

“I know it’s not an easy fix. It’s bigger than just building a space; we need the staff, they have to be paid appropriately.

“It’s quite exciting that we can move forward now. High quality child care is very important to the development of our children.”

Stay tuned for more details on how you can provide input to the childcare needs assessment.

“I look forward to being part of the project. It’s a very important one to our region,” said Whalen.

Cranbrook residents have been hit by a scam that comes in an emailed funer-al notice, according to the Better Business Bureau.

The local bureau is warn-ing people not to let their compassion coerce them into a condolence scam.

People have been receiv-ing an email with “funeral notification” as the subject lines. The email looks legiti-mate because scammers using realistic logos, busi-ness names and email ad-

dresses.The message offers con-

dolences on the recent passing of “your friend”, whose name is not speci-fied.

You are then prompted to click on a link for the de-tails of the upcoming “life service celebration”.

If you click on the link, you will be re-directed to a foreign domain, which acts as a gateway for scammers to install harmful malware onto your computer. If this happens, scammers could have access to the personal

information stored on your device.

According to Get Cyber Safe, there are an estimated 156 million phishing emails sent every day, with the fraudulent funeral notice as the latest version.

“People receive count-less emails each day, which is why scammers try to grab your attention with some-thing as serious as the death of a loved one,” she said. “If no one in your family or circle of friends has passed then you should delete the email. But if by chance you

have recently suffered the loss of a loved one, contact your friends and family about the funeral arrange-ments.”

BBB provides consumers with these common red flags of email phishing scams:

• Don’t believe what you see. As in the example above, scammers can easily copy a real business’ co-lours, logo and even email address.

• Hover over links to check their source. Place your mouse over hy-

per-linked text and the true destination will appear.

• Be wary of unexpected emails that contain links or attachments. As always, do not click on links or open the files in emails unless you know the sender and are expecting it.

• Beware of pop-ups. Some pop-ups are de-signed to look like they’ve originated from your com-puter. If you see a pop-up that warns of a problem that needs to be fixed with an extreme level of urgency, it may be a scam.

• Watch for poor gram-mar and spelling. Scam emails often are riddled with typos and usually indi-cate that English is not the writer’s primary language.

• Ignore calls for immedi-ate action. Scam emails try to get you to act before you think by creating a sense of urgency. Don’t fall for it!

• Update your antivi-rus. Regularly updating your security software will go a long way in protecting your computer should you happen to click on a mali-cious link.

Financial Plan has been presented to the RDEK Board of Directors and we are now inviting public comment on the Plan.

“The Financial Plan

lays out a very specific budget for 2014 and a more general forecast for the years 2015-2018,” said RDEK Chief Finan-cial Officer Shawn Tom-lin. “Currently, the 2014 budget includes expen-ditures of just over $24.5

million dollars, which represents an overall decrease of 0.7 per cent.”

Copies of the Five-Year Financial Plan and comment forms are available for viewing on the RDEK’s website

RDEK invites comments on Financial Plan (www.rdek.bc.ca), and at both the Cranbrook and Columbia Valley RDEK offices. The RDEK will also be post-ing a series of short vid-eos that provide a gen-eral overview of the 2014 budget, along with a more specific look at how the proposed bud-get impacts each Elec-toral Area.

“If people have com-ments or questions about the Plan, we would like to hear from

them,” adds Tomlin. “This presents an op-portunity for discussion about the Plan and the RDEK’s direction for the coming year to five years.”

Staff continue to meet with elected offi-cials, and other groups and organizations around the region as part of the consultation. Public comments will be received until 4:30pm on Friday, Feb. 28.

WOLF CREEK LINE RELOCATION PROJECT COMMENCEMENT

BC Hydro will be making system improvements and re-locating the power line in the Wasa—Wolf Creek area to improve reliability for customers along Wolf Creek Road. Work will begin February 2014 and is expected to be completed by June 2014. The project will include vegetation clearing work, followed by construction activities and the use of heavy equipment, which could result in higher than normal traffic activity in the area.

BC Hydro recognizes the inconvenience that the construction activity may cause, and will complete the work safely and as efficiently as possible.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about the Wolf Creek Line Relocation Project, please contact Michael Price, Project Manager at 604 515 8678 or Diane Tammen, Community Relations Manager at 250 489 6862.

The Week of Feb. 16 - 22Dave HumpHrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Mu-seum and Archives

1900All Aboard For Kimberley … The

North Star Branch is now completed to that town. Kimberley has been re-lieved, and now enjoys railroad con-nections. The North Star Branch is completed and trains are running from Cranbrook to Kimberley. Quite a number of passengers have patron-ized the road all ready, and it will not be long before train loads of ore will be coming down the line from the North Star and other rich mines of that dis-trict. Cranbrook extends the glad hand to the people of Kimberley, and con-gratulates them on the fact that they are now in direct communication with the outside world. Kimberley will grow.

St. Eugene Hospital … Last Friday evening the St. Eugene hospital build-ing was formally opened under the auspices of the Cranbrook Ladies Hos-pital Aid society. The St. Eugene hospi-tal, which has just been completed, ranks as one of the very best institu-tions of its kind in the Kootenays, and for its size, there is not a better equipped or more conveniently ar-ranged hospital in British Columbia. As is well known to most of The Herald readers, the original hospital was built at the Mission, five miles from Cran-brook. The present site was selected, the land being a gift from Col. Baker and his son, V. Hyde Baker, and work commenced last summer on the new structure by Mr. Navin, the contractor. With all speed, consistent with good work, the building was pushed for-ward, until last month, when it was completed in every detail, a magnifi-cent monument to the Sisters and the people of this district.

Small Pox Near … Word was re-ceived yesterday morning that there was a case of small pox at Fernie, and later it was given out that Dr. Barber

was the unfortunate. Dr. King was in attendance, and he telegraphed to Constable Morris to have Rev. Hol-ford’s home placed in quarantine, as that gentleman had just returned from Fernie where he had visited Dr. Barber. This was done immediately. The Royal Hotel, where Dr. Barber is living, is quarantined, with about 30 people. Mr. Sheppard, who went up to take charge of the station until the agent got out of quarantine, went over to the hotel, and it is reported, was locked up also. Dr. King says there is not much danger of the disease spreading if care is taken.

Ice Harvest … Messrs Grant & Sheady have the contract for putting up on the neighbourhood of 1,000 tons of ice for Moyie and Cranbrook par-ties.

1902Want Incorporation … Meeting of

citizens appointed committees for this purpose. A large meeting of the citi-zens was held Wednesday evening of last week at the Cranbrook Hotel for the purpose of discussing the question of incorporation. The question was thoroughly discussed but lack of infor-mation prevented any definite action being taken.

Weather … The difference in the temperature yesterday and a week ago yesterday was just 86 degrees. A week ago it was 41 degrees below, and yes-terday it was 45 degrees above.

1906Huge Tree Felled … Malcolm

McEacheren, of the Moyie Lumber Company, told the Herald last Tues-day that Alex St. Elois’ men at camp 4, at Swanson, cut last week, a tree that scaled 7,500. It was cut in four logs and is thought to be the largest tree ever cut in South East Kootenay.

The New Brewery … The pre-liminary arrangements for the new brewery have been complet-ed, and a strong company has been formed with an authorized capital of $25,000. The new plant will have a capacity of 25 barrels a day, and the equipment will be modern in every respect. Fred Giller, the brewer, who takes a large block of stock, left Tuesday for the coast to purchase the plant. The company includes James Ryan. L. B. VanDecar, Jo-seph Brault, Frank Clapp, McDer-mot & Bowness and others. The plant of the East Kootenay Bot-tling works will be combined with the brewery management. It is expected that the new institution will be ready for business in the month of May.

Narrow Escape … For 10 or 15 minutes last Saturday night be-tween the hours of twelve and one o’clock, the people who saw the terrific fire raging in Miss Ma-cleod’s millinery store, were con-fident that at least half of the busi-ness portion of the town would he a heap of ashes Sunday morning. It was a few minutes after 12 o’clock when Messrs. Leadbeater and Veach noticed a blaze in the millinery store room and has-tened to give the alarm, and with-in a few minutes most of the fire boys were on duty under the lead-ership of Chief Bradley. The

building is owned by Paul Hand-ley, and was formerly used as liv-ery stable. It is two stories high and extends from the street to the lane, the rear portion being only one storey. The fire had evidently started in one of the small rooms on the ground floor used as a fit-ting room for the dress makers, and when the fire brigade got their first hose laid the back part of the store room was a mass of seething flames. Undaunted by smoke or heat one detachment rushed in through the front with a line of hose and soon had a terrif-ic stream of water playing upon the blaze. But soon after the fire was breaking out on the side of the building next to the old Bank of Commerce building and also through the ceiling to the rooms above. Once the fire had gotten a start outside it would have been almost impossible to have saved any portion of the block or the Royal Hotel. Chief Bradley had two more lines of hose laid, one from the Cranbrook Hotel corner and the other from the P. Burns corner, both to the rear of the burning building. With the streams from these two lines combined with the one in the front, it was only a few minutes before the fire lessened in its in-tensity and was soon under con-trol. But what a wreck fire, smoke and water left the building which that day had been redecorated

with new silks and draperies just received from the eastern mar-kets. What had been a bower of beauty a few hours before was quickly transformed into a dis-mal, ruinous mass of smoke be-grimed, drenched and charred cloths and decorations.

“Those who know everything are a great nuisance to us who think we already do.”

Jonathan Dough

A friend of mine wrote recently to ask if I might be enjoying the Olympics and added, “I think the North Americans need to learn how to wax their cross country skis. Pretty pathetic.”

“Pretty pathetic” neat-ly describes my own an-tics at waxing over the millennia because, frank-ly, nobody had the pa-tience to teach me to do it properly and, mostly, be-cause I never bothered to find out. Waxing my downhill skis was an utter anathema to me; they went fast enough, thank you, al-though there were a couple of occasions late in the spring — read, early summer — when a dab of silver wax didn’t go amiss.

In fact my friend Paul and I were nearly trapped overnight up on those trails near the Kimberley ski hill because, having climbed to the height of the runs, we found that our skis refused to move. Each time we scraped them clean of snow that looked like and acted like mashed potatoes and put them down they were loaded again. It took a lot of thought, a huge amount of very bad language, and an intensive search through our two back-packs until we dis-covered an ancient candle, half burned

through. Rubbed on thoroughly, that can-dle wax did the job and we skied to safety at last. The 20-year old chocolate bar — with dog hair attached — went down re-markably well.

I am sure that it was with Paul again, plus another maniac, when we had climbed up into the Nine Basins of the Wildhorse one winter and almost came

unstuck. In fact, we stuck. I’ve been reminded that it was due to my blundering off in the wrong direction that caused us to be so late and so, when the temperature and thus the snow became cold enough, our skis wouldn’t run. There we were

with the bottom fallen out of the thermom-eter, night falling far too rapidly, and our skis refusing to budge. We were standing on precipitous slopes, attempting to look elegant, and we weren’t moving; we were forced to walk inelegantly downhill. All three of us waxed eloquent on that occa-sion, I can assure you.

Later on, after we had survived that ep-isode plus, whilst being towed behind the snowmobile, my falling asleep on my skis, some loquacious person endeavoured to explain the science of skiing on too cold snow but, what with the warm room, the big meal and my general fatigue, I lost in-terest. Apparently, we should have had a special wax with us.

However, we had to “make do” when the snowmobile wouldn’t make progress up into the Paradise Mine that spring. As if it were a noisy mule, it just refused to move. Apparently, the runners at the front wouldn’t run and so, after a “Zorba the Greek” dance, we dug out some silver ski wax and applied that. Improvisation was the word that bright day until the snow-sled, sputtering indignantly, ended up way down a precipitous bank in the creek.

An avid ski friend from Norway once tried to interest me in the ideas of his an-cestors the Sami — those Lapp people who herd reindeer in the north. This shared in-terest occurred when Sami, as we called him, snapped a wooden ski in two on the mountain near Pine Pass, north of Prince George and had to make his way down in a series of long traverses with one foot on the remaining unbroken ski and the other limb on the broken bit. Sami pondered between sensational falls what his ances-tors, who rushed about on skis of differing lengths might have used as a wax. We sug-gested reindeer poop but Sami wasn’t con-vinced. He claimed that he’s once used door hinges as bindings on his cross-coun-try skis but, in that school-learned English modified by a few years in Quebec logging camps, it was hard to decide if he might be kidding.

Clearly then, I should be taking some genuine lessons in waxing skis, but not just yet; it might spoil the fun.

snowmobiles/CaribouResponse to Snowmobiles/Caribou (Letter, Feb. 20).Personally I support snowmobiling and caribou. Here are the

facts from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Planning and Development Services Committee meeting of February 13, 2014. The Agenda is posted on the RDEK website and this was item 9.4.2 under Natural Resource Operations Referrals.

The Staff Report that accompanied the motion said:“The proposed camp location is surrounded by the largest con-

tinual caribou habitat area shown in the Cranbrook West Manage-ment Strategy. Staff notes that the use of the proposed camp loca-tion by the guide-outfitting operation for the limited time and in-tensity mentioned in the application may not cause negative im-pacts; however permitting use by the snowmobile club has the potential to increase use of the area throughout the winter and could cause negative pressure on the local caribou population.”

The RDEK voted in favour of the proposed camp location but not in favour of using the camp for snowmobiling. The vote was 14 Directors in favour and 0 opposed – a unanimous decision.

As you know the herd of caribou referred to is a rare and endan-gered species, and the RDEK motion is a recommendation to the Province’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions. If this is not a critical area for caribou as outlined by staff, the Province has the right to approve the snowmobile clubs use of the camp. In the end it is their decision.

I would encourage everyone to attend the RDEK Committee and Board meetings which are generally held the first Thursday and Friday of each month in the Regional District Boardroom lo-cated at #19 – 24th Ave. S. in Cranbrook (adjacent to the hospital parking lot). This is an important and interesting level of govern-ment that you as taxpayers pay into every year. The meetings are open to the public and the gallery is usually empty except for del-egations and the media. It’s a great place to get the facts on lots of interesting issues!

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. As I said at the beginning of this letter I am in favour of both snowmobiling and caribou!

Urban deer According the article in the Townsman, Feb. 20 (City to survey

residents on deer cull), the article refers to Councillor Gerry War-ner, and says that he “does not support the city spending any money on the survey (deer cull), when it is clear to him that Cranbrook has a problem with urban deer.”

Then Councillor Warner is directly quoted as saying, “How much longer do we need to go on debating and surveying? I think that issue is settled and I’d like to go on record now saying I will support a cull of deer in our city at any time.”

So, Coun. Warner, YOU think the issue is settled? You seem certain that probably 95 per cent of the people in Cranbrook would support the massacre of which you speak. Where are you getting these numbers? It sure wouldn’t be from many of the people that I talk to.

Humanity and emotions aside Mr. Warner, you can’t just round

up stats out of the air to support your wanting to go on a killing spree. Holy Bill of Animal Rights, Batman, give your head a shake. Realizing there could be (and are) genuine concerns with deer in mating season or when babies are young, doesn’t mean the only way to solve it is with killing the animals. Just because we can do something, doesn’t mean that we should.

If the estimated cost of 10 stolen deer traps is $17,000, could that money not be used toward the costs of relocating families of deer? Rather than trapping them and then killing them — kind of like shooting fish in a barrel? It is my understanding that it is actually difficult to relocate deer. I imagine it was also difficult to build a town in the middle of a mountain forest and yet, we did that. And now we have a problem.

I am not claiming to have the answers, I am just questioning how we can call the deer “aggressive” and still think of ourselves as “evolved” when our first response to “something being in the way” is to kill it.

KoocanusaRe: “Koocanusa recreational issues to the fore,” Feb 18.It is with dismay that I read that there is to be yet another ‘study’,

the land use and abuse issues at Koocanusa. Only in this case it is called a “scoping exercise!”

There are enough studies and plans gathering dust on govern-ment shelves to choke a hippo. What we should be examining is the lack of will to put the plans in practice!

In 2005 the ORV Coalition put forth a comprehensive report on off road vehicle management that to date is still waiting to be used as intended (bcgrasslands.org/stewardship-a-planning/orv-coali-tion, bcgrasslands.org/images/stories/learnmore/Our%20Publi-cations/final_orv_recommendations.pdf ).

It is time to get on with it and not stand still as the last jurisdic-tion in North America to allow ORVs to go unregulated. Yes I said LAST.

The other mentioned problems in Koocanusa already have laws to deal with them. What is lacking is the resources to enforce those laws. I would suggest not wasting money on another ‘study’ and use it to fund the Conservation Officer and Compliance and Enforcement Services. An unnecessary study is just another ex-cuse to not actually do something that will make difference on the ground.

It should be noted that the problems at Koocanusa, although egregious, are not contained to that area. Rangelands throughout the whole Trench suffer similar abuses. The Kootenay Livestock Association, as well as many other stakeholder groups, have been asking for these problems to be addressed for 30 years. Land and habitat is being severely damaged and destroyed. Action is well overdue.

The government used to have planners, but to my understand-ing have either let them go or reassigned them. I am sure one of them could be reassigned again to dust off those old plans and get them into practice. Time is a-wasting.

While the small fishing village of Os-prey, Florida is ideal for retirees, Ransom Riggs didn’t think it was

the most exciting place to be raised in. With few children to play with, Riggs

spent his childhood weekends antiquing with his grandmother. Initially bored out of his mind, he soon became fascinated by century-old black and white photographs which could be found at nearly every stop. Although he found all of the photos to be weird, the ones of children always gave him the shivers.

“Pictures of kids from a long time ago” Riggs would later state, “are inherently creepy.

Riggs happily left Osprey after high school, and attended university in Ohio and later in California. He became an ac-claimed filmmaker (The Accidental Sea), and an equally acclaimed writer (The Sher-lock Holmes Handbook, Mental Floss).

While scouting for a film location in 2010, Riggs happened to walk by the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, only to find his childhood revisiting him. One vendor had displayed hundreds of old photographs of children.

Riggs ended up buying them all, and the spent the rest of the year hunting and col-lecting any black and white pictures of children he could find.

Riggs took a handful of the most dis-turbing looking photos to his editor at Quirk Publishing, asking him if he would like to publish a coffee table book of the haunting images. After flipping through them all, the editor suggested that instead of a picture book, Riggs should write a novel about the children found in the pic-tures.

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” appeared in June of 2011, and spent the next 63 weeks at the top of the New York Times Best Seller List. The novel

is story of a teenager who travels to a small island off the coast of Wales in search of his grandfather’s murderer.

The book includes 44 pictures from Riggs’ collection, with the creepiest one he ever found adorning the cover.

His original idea for a coffee table book of just the photos was published in 2012 as “Talking Pictures.” The photos Riggs chose for this book all had inscriptions written on them—illuminating what would otherwise be a collection of lost photographs.

“Hollow City,” the sequel to “Miss Pere-grine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” was published just last month. More than 50 photos are found peppered throughout the book, each one somehow more freaky-look-ing than the rest.

Ransom Riggs is currently working on the third book in the series.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Home ice really is an advantage.

The Kootenay Ice and the Spokane Chiefs each came away with a win on home soil, as they took turns hosting each other this week-end.

The Ice pulled out a 3-2 shootout victory on Friday at Western Fi-nancial Place, but dropped a 6-3 decision to the the Chiefs in Spo-kane on Saturday.

The Ice remain in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind the Medicine Hat Tigers, who occupy fourth.

Chiefs sniper Mitch Holmberg scored a first-period hat trick on the way to a 6-3 win in Spokane. Carter Proft added a pair of goals, while Marcus Messier also supplied offence for the Chiefs.

Tim Bozon, Zach Franko and Jagger Dirk responded for the Ice.

Ice goaltender Mack-enzie Skapski was re-placed by Wyatt Hoflin after the first period, after allowing four goals in 15 shots. Chiefs net-minder Eric Williams made 33 saves for the win.

Holmberg scored his hat trick in the span of 9:01 and Messier added a goal in the final min-ute of the opening peri-

od for a 4-0 Chiefs lead. Franko answered

back with the lone goal in the second period, while Bozon tallied early in the final period. Reinhart picked up an assist on the play, ex-tending his point streak to 20 games, one away from the franchise re-cord held by Ice alum Mike Comrie.

However, Proft got his first less than a min-ute after Bozon scored, and added a second 10 minutes later.

Jagger Dirk replied with a late powerplay goal, but the Ice ran out of time to mount a comeback.

It was a better result on Friday in Cranbrook, as Kootenay picked up a shootout win despite outplaying their oppo-nents for much of the game.

Rinat Valiev was the shootout hero, beating Williams through the five-hole, while Skapski was perfect in turning away all five Spokane shooters.

“It feels great,” said Valiev. “I’m so happy to get the win and we get the two points.”

Dirk opened the scoring in the first peri-od with a huge slap shot at the point, which was assisted by Landon Peel and Reinhart. Valiev added Kootenay’s sec-ond goal in the middle frame with another shot at the blue line that redi-rected past Williams.

However, Keanu Ya-mamoto caught fire, scoring twice for the Chiefs before the period ended to knot the game up at 2-2.

“They got a lot of fire-power up front with

Holmberg and Aviani—Holmberg has 50 goals and Aviani has 30, or something like that,” said Dirk. “So if we shut those two guys down, that’s a lot of their of-fence, but there are also other guys who can score, so we just got to keep playing as a team and do a better job in front of the net.

“Tonight, we didn’t do a very good job, that’s how they were able to score their two goals.”

Though both teams pressed for the equaliz-er in the third and OT periods, it remained a tie game.

Bozon and Reinhart looked as if they scored on their shootout at-tempts—Bozon’s even went to video review, but it took till the fifth round for Kootenay to score on Valiev’s effort.

Nitros vsFernie Ghostriders

at Kimberley Civic Centre

HHHOOOOOOOOCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY!

Playoff Game #3#1 Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 7pm


The Ice saw a familiar face in the Spokane lineup this weekend, and vice versa.

It was the first time the two teams played each other since a trade sent former Kootenay forward Hudson Elynuik to the Chiefs in exchange for defenceman Tyler King.

Trades are a part of the business side of major-junior hockey, but Ely-nuik hasn’t missed a beat with his new surroundings.

“Things are going really good,” said Elynuik. “I’ve had a great opportunity

given to me and I’m just trying make the best of it and it’s going well so far.

“…A great team. I love the guys here, we got great leadership in the room and a great hard-working team and I think I fit in well here.”

For Elynuik, it was a different feel-ing coming back to Western Financial Place, where he played 31 games in his rookie year with the Ice.

“It’s weird coming back to where you’ve played before,” said Elynuik. “Those nerves start to kick in during the game and I tried to get in a few shifts to get rid of them. Just play the game—play hard and play smart.”

Elynuik faces former team


The Kimberley Dy-namiters closed out their regular season with a 4-2 win over the Fernie Ghostriders on Saturday night at the Civic Centre.

Dylan Sibbald and Tyler Garcia each led the way with a goal and an assist, while Bryce Niel-sen and Tyson Kling-spohn added scoring for the Nitros.

Spencer Bender and Austin Hirano replied for the Ghostriders.

Tyson Brouwer picked up the win for Kimberley with 21 saves, while Austin Wells turned away 24 shots for the Riders.

Sibbald opened the scoring in the first peri-

od, while Bender replied in the middle frame.

Hirano put the Riders up early in the third pe-riod, however, a trio of Nitro powerplay goals were good enough to seal up the win for Kim-berley.

Garcia scored first, while Nielsen followed a few minutes later with the go-ahead goal. Klingspohn gave Kim-berley a two goal lead with just over eight min-utes to go in the game,

which proved to be too much for Fernie.

Kimberley ends the regular season with a 29-21-2-0 record with 60 points, which puts them in second place in the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion. The Nitros have home-ice advantage, and will face off against the Riders in the first round of the playoffs.

Creston Valley fin-ished in the division lead with 80 points, while the Kamloops Storm finished first overall in the KIJHL with 85 points and a 42-9-0-0 record.

The first playoff round opens on Tues-day evening at the Kim-berley Civic Centre be-tween the Nitros and the Riders.

Barry Bonds is set to become Giants spring training instructor

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Barry Bonds is all set to return to the San Francis-co Giants. As a spring training instructor, that is.

The all-time home run leader who never of-ficially retired is expected to arrive during the sec-ond week of March. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that he’s looking forward to hav-ing the 49-year-old

Bonds in camp and thinks he can help the hitters.

Bonds spent his last 15 seasons with the Gi-ants, finishing in 2007. He has not been elected to the Hall of Fame, with many voters saying his lofty numbers were boosted by perfor-mance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds set major league records with 762 career home runs and 73 in 2001. He also had a

.444 career on-base per-centage and a .607 slug-ging percentage and stole 514 bases.

He’ll join former Gi-ants Jeff Kent, Robb Nen, Will Clark and J.T. Snow as special instructors.

Kent and Bonds were involved in a highly pub-licized feud during the 2002 season, which reached its peak in June, when the two engaged in a shoving match in the dugout.

NICE, France - Two-time defending Europe-an champion Spain faces a seemingly comfortable road to defend its title at Euro 2016 after being drawn in Group C along with Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slo-vakia and Ukraine on Sunday.

The Netherlands was

drawn in a tougher-look-ing Group A and faces the Czech Republic, Tur-key, Kazakhstan, Iceland and Latvia.

There will be eight groups of six teams and one of five, each playing home and away. The top two teams and the best third-placed side qualify, while the eight remain-ing third-placed sides

will contest play-offs.France is the 24th

team and automatically qualified. It will play matches in Group I, but no points will be award-ed for their matches.

UEFA made the change because host na-tions can struggle to ar-range suitable friendlies while others focus on qualification.

Spain gets comfortable draw for Euro 2016

A golden defence for the Canadian men’s hockey teamStephen Whyno

Canadian Press

SOCHI, Russia - Team Canada’s best players brought their best game and left with gold.

On the world’s big-gest stage, Jonathan Toews and Sidney Cros-by made good on their strong tournaments and controversial roster pick Chris Kunitz sealed the victory as Canada won its second straight Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey with a 3-0 win over Sweden on Sunday.

Canada did not trail at any point in the final or over the course of the entire tournament and finished as the first un-defeated gold medallist since the Soviet Union in 1984 in Sarajevo, beating Norway, Austria, Finland, Latvia, the United States and Swe-den along the way.

Until Sunday, Toews and Crosby were two of Canada’s best players through the first five games but did not have a goal to show for it. Ca-nadian coach Mike Bab-cock brushed off con-cerns about a lack of of-fence from his forwards, figuring they would come but hoping the stars wouldn’t “run out of time.”

“They’re leaders for a reason,” Canadian for-ward Jeff Carter said of Toews and Crosby. “They brought it every night.”

Toews, who opened the scoring with a de-flection in the first peri-od, and Crosby, who beat Henrik Lundqvist on a breakaway in the second, delivered just in time. Putting up two goals meant Sweden would have had to score as many goals in the

third period as Canada gave up in its first five games of the Olympics.

That defensive domi-nance continued against Sweden, which was without first-line centre Nicklas Backstrom, a late scratch due to a pos-itive drug test. NHL stars accustomed to more of-fensive roles continued to display the kind of hard-working defensive intensity Babcock need-ed out of them, limiting Sweden’s scoring chanc-es in the process.

Goaltender Carey Price made 24 saves for his second straight shut-out to cap off his impres-sive tournament in which he allowed just three goals in five starts.

“Our defence was great the whole tourna-ment,” said Canadian forward Patrick Mar-leau. “The goalie was spectacular.”

Some members of the Canadian team smiled and hugged as the waited to be award-ed their gold medals, but the players seemed as businesslike as they did on the ice through-out the tournament.

Injured forward John Tavares wore a shirt and tie under his Canada jer-sey as he had his medal hung around his neck. Tavares was hurt in Can-ada’s 2-1 quarter-final win over Latvia and will miss the rest of the NHL season with the New York Islanders.

Sweden’s players were largely stone-faced as they received their sil-vers, as if they had come to terms with the result before the final whistle.

By beating Sweden, Canada became the first back-to-back gold-med-al winner since the NHL began sending its play-ers in 1998. It was the first time Canada won gold in two straight Games since 1948 and 1952.

And this didn’t take a fortunate bounce

Quality chances came fast and furious in the game’s first few min-utes. Crosby generated the first one 57 seconds in when he batted the puck down and found Patrice Bergeron for a shot from between the circles that Lundqvist got in front of.

Canada’s Jamie Benn and Sweden’s Niklas Kronwall traded shots before Bergeron picked off a pass from Johnny Oduya three minutes in and shot it right into Lundqvist.

Sweden’s best chance of the first peri-od was a minute later, when Gustav Nyquist’s shot from close range hit the left post behind Price. Canada’s starter looked behind him to see the puck inches from the goal line before covering it up.

Bergeron continued his tremendous start by shooting off the shaft of Lundqvist’s stick and hitting the post 11 min-utes in. That helped Canada turn the tide after being on the re-ceiving end for a hand-ful of shifts.

It was the line of Mar-leau, Carter and Toews that has been together the longest that got Can-ada on the board at the

12:55 mark.Carter skated down

the right wing almost to the goal-line and found Toews streaking to the net. Able to keep his stick free from Patrik Berglund, Toews got it on the puck and deflect-ed it off the inside of Lundqvist’s right pad and in.

With Martin St. Louis inserted onto the fourth line in place of Patrick Sharp, Canada generat-ed a couple of scoring chances and got a power play after Matt Duchene drew a penalty on Swed-ish defenceman Jona-than Ericsson. Unable to score in those two min-utes, Canada went on the kill late in the first into the second after a Kunitz high-sticking penalty and got the job done.

Canada had the lion’s share of chances throughout the second period, save for a couple of opportunities by Loui Eriksson and Erik Karls-son, who came into the day tied for the tourna-ment lead in scoring. Karlsson also made a

good stick check on Crosby to thwart the captain in open ice.

But Crosby wasn’t going to be denied at the 15:43 mark, when he poked the puck away from Ericsson at Cana-da’s blue-line and blew right by Alexander Steen to get a breakaway. Crosby had just enough time to think, go back-hand and bank the puck

off Lundqvist’s left pad an into the net.

It didn’t have the drama of Crosby beating Ryan Miller for the gold-en goal in Vancouver four years ago, but as he raised his arms in the air it looked like Canada couldn’t be beaten on this day.

Kunitz, who made the team because of his natural chemistry with

Crosby, did it all by him-self to provide Canada with breathing room. Kunitz took the puck away from Daniel Sedin, skated over the blue-line and beat Lundqvist clean at the 9:04 mark of the third period.

Because Canada gave up just three goals all tournament, that set off quite the celebration on the bench.

SOCHI, Russia - Steve Yzerman won’t be going for a third Olympic gold medal.

Team Canada’s executive director says he will not lead the team into the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongc-hang, South Korea.

Yzerman built the team that beat Sweden 3-0 on Sunday to capture a second straight men’s hockey gold at the Sochi Olympics.

He leaves his post after leading Team Canada to back-to-back gold medals for the first time since 1948 and 1952.

He assembled one of the best defensive lineups ever to wear the Maple Leaf in Sochi as Canada gave up just three goals in six games.

They shut out the Americans 1-0 in the semifinals before defeating Sweden in the final.

When asked if the team in Sochi is the best defen-sive crew ever to represent Canada, Yzerman said “I believe so.”

Dear Annie: My son recently said some-thing that embarrassed me and kept me awake most of the night. My wife and I were at his home for dinner, along with my daughter and several others. We were talking about TV, and my son men-tioned a show where a guy does all kinds of things to save money. He said to my daugh-ter, “If you think your daddy is cheap, you should see this guy.” I said nothing at the time because I didn’t want to spoil the oc-casion. But evidently, he and my daughter both think I am cheap. Annie, I put both of them through college, and so they don’t owe any money. I worked three jobs so my son could attend a presti-gious university out East. They have never wanted for anything. It’s been three months, and I’m still hurt-ing. Any advice? -- Disappointed Dad Dear Dad: No one wants to be thought of as cheap, especially by his own children. But we don’t think your son or daughter intend-ed to be hurtful. What you consider sensibly frugal, they undoubtedly recall as you say-ing “no” to their innumerable requests for toys, gifts, vacations, etc., and how pleased you were when you saved a penny here and there. But please don’t let this fester, as it could damage your relationship with your children. Talk to your son and tell him how much his comment hurt you. We hope he’ll be more aware of your feelings in the future. Dear Annie: I have been a widow for three years. My husband was my first love, and we were married for 36 years. I have now met a man who seems sim-ilar to my late husband. I really like “Don,” but I worry that he only wants a caregiver. When we first met, I asked whether he had any health issues, and he said no. But after our second date, he started saying our rela-tionship wasn’t moving fast enough. After a month, Don ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack, for which he needed a stent. A week later, he was back in the hospi-tal. I think Don lied to me about his health and is looking for someone to be a nursemaid. I like him, but I’m not willing to put forth that kind of effort for a man who has lied to me. I don’t mean to sound callous, but I don’t want to take care of a stranger. It is different when you have loved someone for a while, as opposed to walking into a relationship with someone who already has health problems. Am I doing the right thing by breaking it off, or should I go along and see what is ahead for us? I really am confused. -- Don’t Want To Be Saddled So Soon Dear Don’t: Heart attacks are generally un-expected, so unless Don was aware that he had heart problems, he may not have been lying about his health. And over time, health problems are more likely to arise in any rela-tionship. However, we are more concerned that Don seems to be rushing things. You should nev-er feel pressured to move faster than what makes you comfortable. If you enjoy Don’s company, there’s no reason not to continue seeing him, but make it clear that you are in no hurry. If he wants a caregiver, he should look elsewhere. Dear Annie: I read the responses to “I Need Nice Clothes, Too,” about large-size clothing selections. My complaint is about petite siz-es for mature women. There is no selection at all. It’s as if we are being discriminated against because we are short. We like to dress fashionably. We wear coats, pajamas, slacks and dresses, but few stores carry petite sizes, and fewer still have clothing suitable for anyone over 12. I’m sure it’s the same problem for tall women. -- Warren, Ohio Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.
