Another busy year, as need in Kimberley

continuesC AROLYN GR ANT

[email protected]

Members of the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank Soci-ety held their Annual General Meeting last week, and heard the disheartening statistics on con-tinued need in Kimberley, but were also heartened by knowing

they are making a difference.Food Bank Coordinator

Heather Smith told the meeting that by the end of the Food Banks fiscal year, which runs from Oc-tober to September, 1,598 ham-pers were given out, which assist-ed 2,278 adults and 1,561 chil-dren at a value of $210,737.62. The Christmas Hamper program gave out 166 hampers at a value of $22,100. Twenty new families were registered during the year. Smith told the meeting that she was grateful for all the volunteers

who work with her at the Food Bank.

Next up was Stan Salikin, who delivered the presidents report.

Salikin said that anyone who applies for a food hamper must go through a screening process to ensure they meet require-ments, but no one in genuine need or dire straights is ever turned away.

Clients are treated in a digni-fied, non-judgmental, caring manner, he said.

He reports that 2013 was an-

other very busy year for the Food Bank with significant percentage of users (38%) children.

Increases in living costs im-pacts on the low income, no in-come, government assisted peo-ple including pensioners, partic-ularly single seniors. Many des-perate singles, couples and fami-lies with children arrive at our doors in dire straights, some with little or no finances, and some with no place to live.

SubmittedSuper Typhoon Hai-

yan (known locally as Yolanda) struck the Phil-ippines on Nov. 8, 2013 and was unlike any storm before it.

The unprecedented damage and the devas-tating impact on com-munities, revealed the true threat that weather events pose to commu-nities, cities and regions across the Philippines.

On Nov. 22, 2013, the Filipino-Canadian Asso-ciation of the East Koote-nay and A&W Cran-brook, with the support of owner and Manager Bob Cartier, organized a fund-raising for the Ty-phoon Haiyan victims.

A&W donated $1 for every breakfast sand-wich sold and $2 for every teen burger sold. A total of $10,880 was raised before, during, and after the fundraising day. This also includes the fund-raising held on

the same day at A&W In-vermere, with the sup-port of owner Eric Vanderkruk.

Of the $10,880 raised, $5,750 was donated to 12 Filipinos from Fernie, In-vermere, Radium Hot Spring and Cranbrook whose families were di-rectly affected in the Philippines.

$5,130 was donated to ANCOP (Answering the Cry of the Poor) In-ternational Canada, Inc., a registered Canadian charity building houses and contributing to the rebuilding efforts in the country. Funds donated to ANCOP International will go towards rebuild-ing efforts in Bogo City located in Northern Cebu, one of the many areas devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan. More than 10,000 house-holds in Bogo City are still displaced.

Haiyan left behind an unprecedented trail

of death and destruction in its rampage across the Central Philippines, says Lourdes Roxas-Bu-talid, president the Fili-pino-Canadian Associa-tion of the East Koote-nay. More than 6,000 people have lost their lives and the death toll is still expected to rise. More than 4 million peo-ple continue to be dis-placed with more than 11 million people affect-ed.

The Filipino-Canadi-an Association of the East Kootenay have also partnered with Couples

for Christ Lethbridge for the construction of the Cranbrook-Lethbridge ANCOP Canada Com-munity in Bogo City. Couples for Christ Leth-bridge have raised $5,852.50 through vari-ous fundraising efforts.

As at Dec. 30, 2013, the total amount raised between Cranbrook and Lethbridge for ANCOP International is $10,982.50 which can build 3.5 ANCOP hous-es. The goal is to build at least 10 ANCOP houses to realize the Cran-b r o o k - L e t h b r i d g e

ANCOP Canada Com-munity in Bogo City.

We would like to thank everyone who has been supporting us. Do-nations for Typhoon Haiyan victims are still being accepted. To do-nate, please make your cheque, with your name and address, payable to ANCOP International Canada, Inc. A tax re-ceipt will be issued for a donation of $20 or more.

Send your cheque to Lourdes Roxas-Butalid, P.O Box 20023, Tamarack Mall, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 3S0

SubmittedTheatre O, the East Koote-

nays newest theatre company, is proud to present Anthony Shaffers hit psychological thriller Sleuth, which promis-es to be a smart and gripping dramatic adventure for local audiences.

Sleuth features an entirely home-grown, professional cast who has flourished under the direction of Wild Horse The-atre veteran Killeen Delorme.

Sleuth is a multi-award winning play and one of the mystery genres most celebrat-ed works. It revolves around the fierce game of cat-and-mouse that is played out in a cozy English country house owned by millionaire novelist, Andrew Wyke.

Invited guest Milo Tindle, a young rival who shares not only Wykes love of games but also the affections of his wife, has come to lay claim.

Revenge is devised and murders plotted as the two

plan the ultimate whodunit. The show is high energy,

features colorful characters, and astonishing plot twists live entertainment at its finest!

The play runs March 11-22 at the Green Door in Kimber-leys Platzl (Tuesday-Saturday at 7:30 pm). Tickets are $18 for Adults ($15 for Seniors/Stu-dents) and are available at Mega Furniture in Cranbrook, The Snowdrift Caf in Kimber-ley and at the door (cash only,

please). The Green Door is an inti-

mate 40-seat venue that en-sures audience members an up-close-and-personal theatri-cal experience. Tickets are al-ready selling well, so make sure to purchase yours early to avoid disappointment.

In addition, Thursday and Friday showings are special Dinner Theatre Nights. Ad-mission is an additional $20 and includes a full-course meal

courtesy of renowned chef Jaime Funk of Green Door Ca-tering. These performances are also fully licensed and feature a selection of beer, wine & cock-tails for $5, and a top-shelf Sleuth themed martini for $8.

Seating is limited to 30 pa-trons for this exclusive experi-ence, so pre-booking tickets is highly recommended. Doors open at 6 p.m., dinner is served at 6:30, and the show starts at the normally scheduled time.

This is Theatre Os inaugu-ral production. The company was devised when two Cran-brook artists, Brent Gill and Dana Doucette, desired to cre-ate a one-of-a-kind, profes-sional-caliber experience for local theatregoers presented entirely by local talent. The title Theatre O is homage to the memory of their former drama teacher Rod Osiowy (Rod O). They hope that through their commitment to producing high-quality dramatics, his leg-acy can live on.

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 rst need to be broken down.

Liquids contain no 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.

cast in their communityWith the Marysville Arena upgrade

so much in the news lately, the contest seems a perfect fit. A Marysville Arena group has already been formed at krafthockeyville.cbc.ca and stories of how the arena has played in the lives of residents are being entered.

The first round of winners, eight from eastern Canada and eight from the west, will be announced on March 8, 2014.

Before then, communities show their spirit by uploading stories and images to the website. A communitys stories are a factor in determining whether they will make the Top 16, so share something that will grab atten-tion. The more interest generated in the community and the more content uploaded, the better the chance a group has of making it into the Top 16.

The hospital district has approved funding for a host of projects at East Kootenay hospitals, without raising the tax rate for residents.

At a meeting on Fri-day, Feb. 14 of the Koo-tenay East Regional Hospital District, the board of directors ap-proved the 2014 annual budget.

The budget includes funding for five capital projects that Interior Health plans to com-plete in 2014. The hospi-tal district funds 40 per cent of the projects, while the B.C. govern-ment funds the remain-ing 60 per cent.

This year, the projects include one at Golden Hospital, one at Spar-wood Health Centre, and three at East Koote-

nay Regional Hospital.At the Cranbrook

hospital, one of the proj-ects is a portable x-ray system known as a C-Arm that can shoot still and continuous im-ages. It can be used through an operating room table or stretcher and can be moved to various locations in the hospital.

Next, the board ap-proved funding for a cart

Hospital projects approved in budgetwasher and disinfector a high capacity mechan-ical washer that can wash, disinfecting and dry virtually any metal or molded cart, utensils, beds and other reusable items. It uses high tem-perature and high veloc-ity water jets to sanitize with a minimum of water consumption.

The final Cranbrook project is an upgrade for the Mobile MRI unit

that is often parked out-side East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital. The up-grade will improve exam speed and quality and extend the life of the unit, which was made in 2005. The unit is shared between the East and West Kootenay and the O k a n a g a n -S i m i l k a -meen.

In Sparwood, the board approved funding to replace the digital

controls for the various mechanical systems at the Health Centre. In Golden, the hospital will receive an isolation room that can admit pa-tients who need to be isolated so that airborne contaminants arent transferred to other pa-tients.

The funding for these five projects together is $499,936. With funding commitments the board

has made in previous years but not yet been required to pay for, the total capital budget is $1.8 million.

The hospital districts 2014 budget was adopt-ed by the board on Fri-day. There is no increase to the tax rate for East Kootenay constituents. Its the fifth year without a tax rate increase; the last time the rate in-creased was in 2008.

From Page 1These are people in despair; they

feel hopeless and frantic, without food money or a place to stay. Not all clients are in this category, however many who require assistance have low self esteem and some on the verge of mental breakdown.

Our Food Bank volunteers are the first responders to these sad situa-tions. They treat everyone who comes through our doors in a respectful, professional and sensitive manner. We are thankful that our Food Bank is able to relieve some of the stress asso-ciated with food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition.

Salikin gave a personal thank you to Heather Smith fore her tremen-dous dedicated service.

He went on the thank all those who donate to the Food Bank.

Without local financial support we would not be able to maintain the high level of food hamper distribution to our clients. The people of Kimber-ley and surrounding area along with businesses, clubs, churches schools, unions, as well as other organizations are aware of the needs of many of our

clients. They are extremely generous.But despite all the good help and

donations, Salikin said that unless the root cause of food bank use poverty is addressed, food banks are here to stay.

Food Bank clients are people who are at the bottom of the income scale. Average families with average salaries spend about 15 per cent of their in-come on healthy nutritional food for themselves and their families. Food ban clients would have to spend 45 per cent of their income to provide for their families at the same level. Cou-pled with the high cost of rent and utilities, which could be as high as 60 per cent of their income, there would be absolutely nothing left over for all the other necessities. The Food Bank plays a very important role in many peoples lives. By helping our fellow human beings who have fallen on hard times due to poverty, illness, family break up and many other rea-sons, we can and do make a differ-ence.

Our goal is to continue to provide assistance to people in need for as long as the need exists.

Show Case 2014 Friday, March 7

For the Bulletin

North Star Skating Club (NSSC) has had a busy winter season. On January 17-19 Starskat-ers travelled to Ross-land, BC to participate in the regional test day and West Kootenay In-vitational Skating Com-petition. On January 31-February 2, our skat-ers were in Fruitvale to again test and compete at the Kootenay Region-al Championships, which includes East and West Kootenays. This

test day was very suc-cessful for the skaters involved and has result-ed in many of the senior skaters advancing to gold level skills and dance tests. At both competitions the Starskaters dominated the podium in every event they entered, here are the stats: Quinn McKay (gold medal), Charlize Du Preez (bronze ribbon), Caitlin Cavalier, (two silver and bronze medal), Zoe Ma-rina, (three gold and two silver medals), Molly Miller, (gold and a bronze medal), Sydney Wilson, (three bronze medals), Bianca Mari-na, (two gold and two

silver medals), Hannah Doerksen, (two silver and two bronze med-als), Jackson Wilkinson, (bronze ribbon) Makay-li Wilkinson, (silver rib-bon) and Ella Wilkinson (gold ribbon). Coach Tamara was very pleased with the results and the top finishes the NSSC skaters achieved, especially, with Caitlin as it is her final year to compete with the club. We are very proud of all our young skaters.

With competitions for this season having come to an end the Club is now busy with Show Case 2014! On Friday, March 7 the North Star Skating Club will once

again host its annual ice show at the Civic Cen-tre. There will be ap-pearances by Canskat-ers, Powerskaters, Starskaters and a guest performance at this years Show Case. This is an exciting time for skaters as they are able to have fun tapping into the artistic and creative aspects of their skating. Mark your calendars now and save the date! Last year the ice show drew great numbers and this year expects to be even bigger.

From Page 1It is not solely based

out of Invermere and it is not the organization who was involved with the lawsuit against the District of Invermere as originally reported. Most BCDPS members are residents in the cities who are either considering conducting culls or who have con-ducted culls, including Kimberley, and have an interest in compassionate conservation of British Columbia deer.

In the February 14 ar-ticle, the Bulletin wrote that the Kimberley deer cull had not begun be-cause, the clover traps (used to trap and kill deer) were stolen from the Min-istry building in Cran-brook and some de-stroyed.

Later in the article, the Mayor of Kimberley said the City would have a re-sponse to the flyers, and said, In the meantime, the public needs to know what kind of tactics this group will go to achieve their ends.

We are deeply con-cerned that it appears Mayor McRae was point-ing his finger at our Soci-ety in being involved in more extreme measures, said Devin Kazakoff,

spokesperson for the Coa-lition

Our groups have fought long and hard for two years opposing these barbaric and pointless culls, Kazakoff contin-ued. We use every legal tool at our disposal to put an end to the cruelty. We do not engage in criminal activity. The BCDPSs mission is advocating for compassionate conserva-tion through education, research, and political ac-tion.

In 2012, Kimberley trapped 101 random deer, said Sherry Adams director of BCDPS. We told them that culls dont work. We explained the rebound effect and pro-vided them with the re-search. We explained to them culling creates a void, to keep killing is like bailing water out of a sink-ing boat. As we predicted, two years later, Kimberley Council voted to kill an-other 30 deer. As a resi-dent of Kimberley I think our tax dollars can be bet-ter spent and we can co-exist peacefully with our deer .

We are frustrated that city officials want to kill deer, said Colleen Bailey, Humane Treatment of Urban Wildlife chair and

BCDPS director. We are here to expose the cull and how its ineffective, not destroy traps. Bailey went on to say Weve met with these cities and pre-sented effective conflict reduction strategies of British Columbia deer. These are BC deer. They do not belong to cities to do what they please with. Now weve created an ef-fective public relations campaign to educate the citizens of British Colum-bia about the harsh reali-ties of culls. I stand by our tactics as Mayor McRae calls them.

The Elkford cull was a disaster, said Wendy Hu-isman, Director of BCDPS and lifetime resident of Elkford. The citizens of our town exposed the ille-gal actions of the cull con-tractors, not municipal officials or the Ministry. And yet it appears we are the ones who are being alluded to as participants in extreme measures. Its truly unfair and unaccept-able.

We need to end the blame game and work to-gether on a compassion-ate conservation plan that provides real solutions to human wildlife conflicts and unifies communities across BC, said Adams.

Superstar to play Western

Financial Place February 26Barry Coulter

Even for an artist whos had 120 hit sin-gles and sold more than 100 million re-cords over a 50-year career, Kenny Rogers has had a monster year.

Kenny Rogers is playing Western Fi-nancial Place in Cran-brook on Feb. 26. But in the months leading up to this date, hes re-leased his 22nd Top 10 County album, got a Grammy nomination along with old friend Dolly Parton, been in-ducted into the Coun-try Music Hall of Fame and handed the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. Hes also had a novel published, and award-ed an Honorary Mas-ters of Photography buy the Professional Photographers of America. Hes spent much of the past year roaming the planet with his Through The Years World Tour.

Western Financial Place will feature an arrangement where the stage faces the side seating, rather than end to end. This will make for an up-close-and-personal evening, and Rogers is looking forward to it.

You know, Id ac-tually rather work those kinds of (small-er) venues, because you can really feel the audience more, Rog-ers told the Townsman in an interview last week. If you work big venues, what you have to do is play to the front two rows and ac-knowledge the back 10. But this way you get to see everybody literally. I turn on the house lights from time to time and I get a chance to look around, and see whos there. Its fun for me to do that, to pick out peo-ple. Theres always someone holding a sign that says Wheres Dolly?

Its a totally differ-ent feel, but its much more rewarding. Theres a better con-nection in those con-

ditions, and I just love it.

Rogers latest album, You Cant Make Old Friends, was released last October and reached number nine on the U.S. Coun-try charts. Rogers has said it is the best album hes ever re-corded.

It is, he insisted. Warner Brothers called me and said we want you to do an album. We had a meeting and I said I want you to know that I understand and I ac-cept the fact that at this point in my career I may not be able to get it on the radio. And the president of the company said dont worry about the radio. Do the 10 songs or 11 songs that you want to do.

Because Ive al-ways had a knack for picking good songs. And not having the pressure of the radio took so much pressure off me as an artist, that I have some songs that I would never have even looked at before.

Thats what I think makes it so special. Its really more fun. It was top 10 the first week out, so we must have done something right.

Theres really only two ways I can com-pete, Rogers contin-ued. I can do what everybody else is doing, and do it better. And I dont like my chances with that. Or I can do something no-body else is doing, and then you go in by com-parison.

The albums title track features old friend and duet-mate Dolly Parton. The pair were nominated for a 2014 Grammy-Award for You Cant Make Old Friends.

That song was written for us. Rogers said. And we both felt it was not so important that it be a successful big hit on radio. But it was important to both of us to have our rela-tionship documented. We can go years with-out seeing each other, but when she walks in the room its like we were together yester-day.

What about the concert that Cran-brook can look for-

ward to?I got about 18 or 19

top 10 records, and I do them all. Lucille, Coward of the Coun-ty, Daytime Friends All the ballads: Love the World Away, Through the Years, She Believes in Me, Ruby Dont Take Your Love To Town ll those things, and Im going to mix some new things in.

And the band thats accompanying Rog-ers?

My band has been with me, most of the them, for the better part of 40 years. And theyre great players and good friends, and they just get better every time we go out.

In October of last year, Rogers was in-ducted into the Coun-try Music Hall of Fame, and in November re-ceived the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement award.

Im glad it hap-pened now, rather than at the peak of my career, Rogers said, because at the peak of my career I had so much on my table, I dont know that I could have really appreciat-ed it.

I have two twin boys, nine years old, and they just thought that was so cool. My older boys were there (at the ceremony), my brothers and sisters, my wife. It was a great family moment.

Not that Rogers ap-pears to be slowing down too much, cre-atively. In September, a novel written by Rog-ers, with Mike Blakely, was released, titled What Are The Chanc-es?

Its about the game of Texas Holdem being invented its called What Are The Chances. Its about a kid who wants to be in Nashville, and hes there when Texas Holdem is invented.

As to the aforemen-tioned Honorary Mas-ters of Photography:

I have a new cate-gory for psychiatrists Im impulsive-ob-sessive, Rogers said. I get involved with something impulsive-ly, and then I get ob-sessed with it, to see how well I can do it. Thats what happened

with photography. You go out on the road, you have an hour and a half where youre high, where the audience is carrying you and youre feeling great. The other 22 and a half hours of nothing to do. So I al-

ways find things to do. I play tennis I never played tennis until I was 35, and then I got a national ranking. Because I took it so seriously, and worked so hard. And its the same with photogra-phy. Once I found out

I could do it, I worked to see how well I could do it. And it was really very rewarding.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2014

Pushed to the limits of endurance, barely able to keep the eyes open, muscles aching from tension. A finely-trained Olympic athlete after expending maxi-mum effort? No. Me, dragging myself to work after staying up too late watching the Olympics.

Every time the Olympics roll around, I say to myself oh, I might watch a bit of it. And then I find myself glued to the television. Its just so darned compelling, especially with the way Canada has started. All those medals, all those sto-ries. The charming Alex Bilodeau, the de-lightful Dufour-Lapointe sisters, the self-less Gilmore Junio. Great stuff.

Its really quite wonderful, and its even more wonderful this time round because of technology. I speak not of the advances in skis and blades and other gear but the advances in my ability to watch events when I want, where I want.

It is almost impossible to watch these games live because of the time difference. You can watch live beginning at 10 in the evening as the morning events begin in Sochi, I discovered, hence the bags under my eyes. Know what sport plays mornings? Curling. Yeah, I have several times in the

last week whispered the magic words, Just one more end then Ill go to bed, only to find myself still awake at 1 a.m.

But for most sports, you can hardly avoid knowing the results before you get a chance to watch.

And while for some that may make them less interesting, for me it increases my enjoy-ment. I can get up in the morning, take a look at the headlines and see how well Canadian athletes did while I was sleeping. Then I can watch full replays of the events I choose on the in-

ternet or watch the replays on television in the evening. Or I can record the events I want and watch them whenever I want.

Because yes, I am a fair-weather fan. If the Canadian hockey team loses I know, blasphemy, but if they do I dont have to watch a three hour game only to see my team lose. I know beforehand and avoid the agony.

Takes the fun out of it, you say? Takes the stress out of it, I say.

I can remember watching the 2010 gold medal final in mens hockey. I watched it at a friends house with a few other people. It was enjoyable, but tense. Then it was just tense. Then when the Americans scored at

the last minute and we went to overtime, it became unbearable.

Ill always remember where I was when Sidney Crosby scored the winner in OT. I was in the basement, unable to watch. It was too stressful. So I didnt actually see it live, just ran up the stairs when those brave enough to endure it screamed with joy.

Cowardly? Yes. But I have enough stress in my life, so the watch-after-the-fact sys-tem works for me, so hurray for technolo-gy.

This years gold medal hockey games will be broadcast live beginning at 5 a.m. Mountain Time. Thats 7 a.m. Eastern and apparently Toronto City Councillors are wrestling with the idea of allowing bars to open and serve beer for the games. Be-cause watching Canadians go for gold without a beer no matter what the time of day just seems un-Canadian.

Again, I dont know if I will be able to bear watching it live. If I sleep in and re-cord the game, I can enjoy it stress-free a little later in the day. Or not watch it at all if the unthinkable happens.

If I do get up to watch it, youll find me in the basement. Possibly with a beer in my hand.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

When Mordechai Va-nunu, a humble Israeli technician who worked for years at Israels secret nuclear site at Dimona, spilled the beans about Israels nuclear weapons in 1986, very bad things happened to him. He was lured from safety in England for an Italian holiday by a woman who was an Israeli secret agent, drugged and kidnapped from Italy by other Israeli agents, and imprisoned for eighteen years (eleven of them in solitary con-finement).

When Avraham Burg, the former speaker of the Israeli parliament, said last month that that Israel has both nuclear and chemical weapons (you know, like the nuclear weapons that Iran must not have and the chemical weapons that Syria must give up), nothing bad happened to him at all. He is protected by the Important Persons Act, the unwritten law that gets powerful and well-connected people off the hook in every country.

They didnt even go after Burg when he said that Israels long-standing policy of non-disclosure (never confirm or deny that it has nukes) was outdated and childish. But even ten years after Vanunu fin-ished serving his long jail sen-tence, he is not allowed to leave Israel, go near any foreign em-bassy, airport or border cross-ing, or speak to any journalist or foreigner.

Vanunu defies the Israeli au-thorities and speaks to whom-ever he pleases, of course. But he really cant get out of the country, though he desperately wants to leave, and his decision to live like a free man gives his watchers the pretext to yank his chain by arresting him whenev-er they feel like it.

The Israeli governments ex-cuse for all this is that he may

still know secrets he might re-veal, but that is nonsense. Va-nunu hasnt seen Dimona or talked to anybody in the Israeli nuclear weapons business for 30 years. What drives his tor-mentors is sheer vindictive-ness, and he may well go on being punished for his defiance until he dies while Avraham Burg lives out his life undis-turbed and offers occasional pearls of wisdom to the public.

So here are the secrets that Vanunu and Burg revealed, in rather more detail than Burg chose to give and in a more up-to-date form than Vanunu could give from personal knowledge.

Israel has a minimum of 80 and a maximum of 400 nuclear weapons, those limits being based on calculations of the amount of fissile material that it has enriched to weapons grade. The best guess is that the total is around 200 warheads, most of them two-stage thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs).

At least some dozens are tactical weapons designed to be fired by 175 mm and 203 mm artillery pieces at ranges of 40-70 km. The remainder are meant to be delivered by mis-siles or aircraft, and Israel maintains a full triad of deliv-ery systems: land-based mis-siles, sea-launched missiles, and aircraft.

The missiles are mostly Jeri-cho II medium-range ballistic missiles, which can reach all of Europe and most of western Asia. Since 2008 Jericho III in-tercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have also been enter-ing service, with a range that would allow Israel to strike any inhabited point on the planet except some Pacific islands. Both can carry a one-megaton warhead.

Why such remarkably long ranges, when Israels avowed enemies are all relatively close to hand? One speculation is that this is meant to encourage caution in other nuclear states (Pakistan? North Korea?) that might at some future time be tempted to supply nuclear weapons to Israels near ene-mies.

The maritime leg of the triad

is highly accurate cruise mis-siles that are launched from un-derwater by Israels Ger-man-built Dolphin-class sub-marines. These missiles consti-tute Israels secure sec-ond-strike capability, since it is extremely unlikely that even the most successful enemy sur-prise attack could locate and destroy the submarines. And finally, there are Ameri-can-made F-15 and F-16 strike aircraft that can also carry nu-clear bombs.

Israel probably tested its bomb in the southern Indian Ocean in 1979 in cooperation with apartheid South Africa, which was also developing nu-clear weapons (subsequently dismantled) at that time. The test was carried out under cover of a storm to escape satellite surveillance, but a rift in the cloud cover revealed the char-acteristic double flash of a nu-clear explosion to an American satellite, Vela 6911.

This was a violation of the

1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty, which forbids open-air nuclear tests, but the United States did not pursue the matter, presum-ably in order not to embarrass Israel.

The United States did not help Israel to develop nuclear weapons in the first place (France did that), and even now Washington does not real-ly approve of Israels nukes, al-though it tolerates them in the interest of the broader alliance. But why, after all these years, does Israel still refuse to ac-knowledge that it has them?

The only plausible answer is: to avoid embarrassing the United States in ways that would make it restrict its arms exports to Israel. But realistical-ly, how likely is that to happen? The US Congress will ensure that Israel goes on getting all the money and arms it wants no matter what it says about its nukes, and it is high time to end this ridiculous dance around the truth.

Israels nuclear weapon hypocrisy

Letters to the editorMarysville arena

Kimberley Councils decision Tuesday was political, the Mayor and other mem-bers who voted in favour did not debate anything, they talked and voted, none of them offered any arguments or disputed the points made by Oakley and McCor-mick they simply ignored them. None of them dealt with the question of where the money is to come from.

The Mayor should be ashamed of him-self, rather than trying to share the blame I am extremely disappointed with all of us ..., and accusing Oakley and McCor-mick of making it political. His further disingenuous remarks about all the hurt

that discussion of the possible closure of the Marysville arena has caused were simply beyond belief.

What isnt political about limiting pub-lic understanding of the issue by limiting the motion to replacement of the ice plant, and suggesting the overall infrastructure funding is political and not relevant?

Now that council has gone ahead with expenditures over $500,000 on the citys second arena it will be very difficult if not impossible to vote against funding the replacement of the floor (believed to be necessary in the very near future), cur-rently estimated at $600,000.

All of the councilors must be aware that they have, when operating expenses

are taken into account, been voting on a proposal that will exceed $1.5 million over the next few years. This without any idea where the bulk of the money is to come from.

Kent Goodwin pointed out Kimberley has set tax increases at three times the rate of inflation for the past ten years and asks, can we keep doing that? Apparently his answer and those who voted yes is YES.

Whats yours?Elections in the fall, it is political, can

you be bothered to vote?

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice wrapped up a relatively successful road trip into the Prairies this week-end with a pair of wins over the Wheat Kings in Brandon.

The Ice, which had previously played the Warriors and the Pats, won three of their four games during the week-long foray into Canadas breadbasket.

Obviously, getting three wins out of four games is good, said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. We didnt play very good in Regi-na [a 3-2 loss], that one stung a little bit, and I think we were pretty lucky to get two points out of the first Brandon game.

But again, points are points at this time of year and well take them. Its not exactly the way we want to play, but at the end of the day, we found a way to get the win, so thats the most important thing

right now.It took a shootout on

Friday night, but the Ice got it done with a 3-2 win, following up with a 5-2 victory the next night in a rematch.

With points in both games, team captain Sam Reinhart has now extended his point streak to 17 games, the second-longest active run, trailing Curtis Valk of the Medicine Hat Ti-gers, who has points in 18 games.

Coincidentally, the Ice are chasing the Ti-gers for the final home-ice advantage spot in the standings, five points behind with a firm grasp on fifth place.

The two teams will meet this week on Wednesday at Western FInancial Place for an important divisional matchup.

With the two wins in Brandon, the Ice swept all four games that made up the regular season series against the Wheat Kings.

Most of the goals

during the 5-2 win on Saturday were scored in the opening period, as Kootenay built up a 4-2 lead on the road to vic-tory.

Kootenays offence came from Reinhart, Luke Philp, Jaedon De-scheneau, Austin Vet-terl and Tim Bozon, while Ryan Pulock and Jens Meilleur respond-ed for Brandon.

Ice goaltender Mack-enzie Skapski made 28 saves for the win, while Wheat Kings netminder Curtis Honey was re-placed by Jordan Pa-pirny after the first peri-od. Collectively, the two made 39 stops.

Just under two min-utes into the game, Pu-

lock struck first for a quick Brandon lead, but Philp answered back just over a minute later.

Reinhart put the ice ahead before the half-way mark of the frame, and Descheneau potted a powerplay goal a few minutes afterwards.

Meilleur cut into the Kootenay lead with just over five minutes to go in the period, but Vet-terl scored Kootenays third shorthanded goal of the season to restore the two-goal lead.

Skapski and Papirny both shut the door after that, with the Ice out-shooting the Wheaties in the second period, while shots evened out in the final frame.

Bozon put the icing on the cake with an empty netter in the final minute, scoring his 100th career WHL goal.

Saturday was a much better effort, exe-cution was better as well, continued Hen-derson. Friday, I thought we were very

lucky to get at least one point, let alone two.

I thought Brandon deserved a better fate, but we found a way to get the two points and again, at this time of year, all the points are important.

On Friday, Matt Al-faro scored the game-winning goal in the shootout to lift the Ice to a 3-2 win over the Wheat Kings to open their first of two con-tests in Brandon.

Bozon scored the game-tying goal in the third period to force the shootout, after the Wheat Kings were up 2-1 by the second frame on a pair of goals from Brett Kitt. Reinhart pro-vided the other goal for the Ice, scoring the opening goal of the game.

Skapski guarded the crease with 32 saves, giving up one goal in the five-round shootout, while Papirny stopped 33 shots and surrendered two goals in the shootout.

Theres no ice like home ice.

The Kimberley Dy-namiters locked up home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs, beating the vis-iting Fernie Ghostriders 4-1 on Saturday night at the Civic Centre.

That clinched sec-ond place in the Eddie Mountain Division for the Dynamiters, setting up the Riders as their first-round opponents in the KIJHL post-sea-son.

The game was a pre-view of the playoffs, with

both teams set to meet one final time in the reg-ular season next Satur-day before opening the post-season on Tues-day, Feb. 25th.

It had moments where both teams tried to assert themselves, said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. I thought we did in the first half of the game and they didespecially in the third periodso both teams played hard.

It was a good game.Nitro forward Jared

Marchi led the way with a goal and two assists while goaltender Jeremy Mousseau picked up the

win with 32 saves. Marchi scored the

lone goal in the opening period on a bizarre play, which was initially waved off by the referee before reversing the call at the next whistle after a conference with fellow officials.

Dallin Wolf and Bryce Nielsen scored early into the middle

period, building a com-manding 3-0 lead after 40 minutes.

However, the Ghostriders rallied for the final period, and managed to score an early goal from Spender Bender. Nielsen added another goal for Kim-berley in the final min-ute, scoring on a wide-open cage after the Rid-ers pulled the goalten-der for an extra attacker.

I liked, especially in the first period, how hard we came out and forechecked, used our speed to our advantage, said Bancks. I liked our goaltending, our goal-

tendings been a strength for the team all year long. I liked how our D moved the puck. I liked our penalty kill.

Lots of good [things]. I just thought we took our foot off the gas pedal a little later in the game, started taking some shortcuts.

While the first-round division matchup be-tween the Dynamiters and the Ghostriders is set, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats are wait-ing to see if the Golden Rockets or the Colum-bia Valley Rockies clinch the fourth and final playoff spot.

Nitros defeat Ghostriders in playoff preview

East wins All-Star dunk contest

NEW ORLEANS - John Wall soared over his mas-cot, and the East stomped on the West in the slam dunk contest.

Walls sensational slam finished off a clean sweep for the Washington star, Paul George and Terrence Ross in the contests new battle format, helping the Eastern Conference earn a 2-2 tie against the West on All-Star Saturday night.

Answering Sacramento rookie Ben McLemores dunk in which he leaped over Shaquille ONeal seated in a kings throne, Wall took the ball from Wizards mascot G-Man, who held it above his head, then brought it down between his legs and slammed down a two-handed reverse dunk.

It was only my second time doing it. My first time was on Thursday, Wall said. So I just felt comfortable with myself and I knew it was a dunk that hasnt been done before.

Judges Dominique Wilkins, Magic Johnson and Julius Erving all gave the victory to Wall in his match-up, after picking George over Harrison Barnes, and defending champion Ross over Damian Lillard in the first dunk contest with three All-Stars since 1988.

San Antonios Marco Belinelli won the 3-point con-test, and Lillard and Utah rookie Trey Burke won the skills challenge for the Wests two victories. Miamis Chris Bosh, Wilkins and WNBA star Swin Cash won the nights first event for the East, the shooting stars.

Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster to miss 2014 season for personal reasonsASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster says hes taking this season off but is leaving open the possibili-ty of playing in 2015.

The 36-year-old right-hander said Sunday he is stepping away for physical reasons and to spend more time with his fami-ly.

I had an incredible run, a

chance to play 16 years in the major leagues and be around a lot of great teammates, made a lot of good friendships, great friendships, Dempster said in a surprise announcement one day before the first formal spring training workout for pitchers and catchers. Im totally com-fortable with it. Im at peace with my decision.

Dempster finished his only

season with the Red Sox with an 8-9 record and a 4.57 ERA and didnt get a start during the Red Soxs post-season run to a World Series title.

The past few years have been tougher and tougher, he said. As you get older, going through some things, some is-sues I have with my neck that have made it harder and harder to throw a baseball and throw it

like Im accustomed to throw it contributed to his decision.

Dempster said he spoke with the club a few weeks ago about taking the season off. Several teammates said they were shocked to learn the news.

He has pitched for 16 sea-sons with the Florida Marlins, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and Red Sox.

SOCHI, Russia - Canada kicked off the second half of the Sochi Olympics with its fourth multi-medal perfor-mance of the Games.

And it looks like theres more hardware on the way.

Dominique Maltais took silver in womens snowboard cross Sun-day, becoming the first athlete to win two Olympic medals in the event. She won bronze at the 2006 Turin Games.

Also on the slopes, Jan Hudec won bronze in the mens super-G. The medal ended Can-adas 20-year podium drought in alpine ski-ing.

The medals came after a bit of a lull for Canada, which started off the Games with a bang but slowed down with two silvers and a bronze over four days of competition heading into Sundays action. Canada now has 14 total medals (four gold, six silver, four bronze) and is still in the mix to attain its stated goal of winning the most med-als in Sochi.

Canada is tied with Norway for fourth in the overall medal standings, behind the Netherlands (17 med-als) and Russia and the United States (16). Ger-many leads the gold-medal standings with seven.

Going forward, ice dancers Tessa Virtue

and Scott Moir are poised to win another medal. The reigning Olympic champions enter Mondays free skate in second place, behind rivals Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the United States.

Canada is also on the cusp of the podium in two-man bobsled, with Justin Kripps and Bryan Barnett in fourth after two runs.

And both of Cana-das curling teams qual-ified for the playoffs. Jennifer Jones is guar-anteed to finish atop the womens standings with a win over the United States, and Brad Jacobs locked up sec-ond in the mens stand-ings with a thrilling ex-tra-end win over China.

In Mondays medal competition, Maltais survived a wild semifi-nal run and came through with a strong effort in the final to sin silver. The result was vindication for Maltais, who had a disappoint-ing showing at the Van-couver Olympics.

I decided to have revenge and show the world how good I can be and how fast I can be on the course, said the 33-year-old rider from Petite-Riviere-St-Fran-cois, Que. The last four years I have been im-proving myself and fo-cusing to get faster on that kind of track just for today.

I made it happen today so Im really, real-

ly happy.Eva Samkova of the

Czech Republic was dominant in her heats and never trailed in the final. Frances Chloe Trespeuch was third.

Defending champi-on Maelle Ricker of West Vancouver, B.C., went down in the quar-ter-finals after trying to make a pass on a turn. She did well just to make it to Sochi after undergoing wrist sur-gery a few weeks ago.

Maltais won bronze at the Turin Games when snowboard cross made its Olympic debut. She was a con-tender heading into Vancouver but a train-ing crash left her bat-tered and she didnt

advance to the elimina-tion heats.

She completely changed her routine after the experience with one goal in mind - redemption in Sochi.

The last four years have been like I was on a mission, she said. Everything I was touching, everything I was eating was to be a better athlete, to get faster on that course.

Hudec had to over-come much more re-cent problems to get his medal.

He suffered a herni-ated a disc in his lower back in mid-January. It was so painful that he struggled to walk and under normal circum-stances, he would have

shut himself down. But he knew he needed to get some runs in so he entered a pair of World Cups right before Sochi.

Im over the moon considering where I came from in the last five weeks, said Hudec. Its nothing short of a miracle to be here, to be able to even perform at this level. I cant be thankful enough.

Hudec finished tied with American star Bode Miller in one min-ute 18.67 seconds. Kjetil Jansrud won the fourth straight Olympic su-per-G gold medal for Norway in 1:18.14 and Andrew Weibrecht of the United States was second, 0.30 seconds behind.

For Hudec, who has battled a series of inju-ries throughout his ca-reer, it was meant to be.

No matter how crappy it got the last five weeks, I never let that site (of racing in Sochi) leave my mind, he said. That gave me the confidence and the strength to be mentally prepared for the race.

Winnipegs Jones improved to 8-0 with a 7-6 extra-end win over the United States, while Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., won six straight by beating the U.S. 8-6 and then China 9-8 in an extra end.

Jones could have put the game away in the 10th end, but she missed her last shot and the U.S. stole one to force an extra end.

But Jones, who has curled exceptionally in Sochi, didnt miss on her winning draw for a point in the 11th.

The quality and cal-ibre of teams here is so tremendous that youre going to have battles out there, but were finding a way to be in control of our own game and holding our fate in our own hands, Jones said.

On the mens side, Jacobs had the hammer in the extra end against China and drew his last stone to the button for one that sealed the win and semifinal berth for Canada.

That gave Jacobs six wins in a row and made his shaky start to the

tournament a distant memor y. The gold-medal favourites opened with an uncon-vincing win over lowly Germany before suffer-ing back-to-back losses to Sweden and Switzer-land.

When you come to an Olympics, there is so much hype about gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, especially with the Ca-nadian mens curling team because it is so successful, Jacobs said.

We kind of let that get to us a little bit so we had to refocus, re-group ... and stay in the present. Forget about the gold medal. It was all mental. Its charac-ter-building.

Canadas defending Olympic ice dance champions finished second in the short dance after laying down a virtually flawless per-formance.

Virtue, from Lon-don, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., scored 76.33 to finish 2.56 points behind American rivals Meryl Davis and Charlie White. It was far better then their performance in the team event, where they didnt even appear to be in the same league as their American rivals.

That was more like it. I said to Tessa right after we finished, Thats the skate wed been having in prac-tice, and to do that on this stage, it felt pretty good, Moir said.

Canada downs Finland 2-1 in OTstePhen Whyno

Canadian Press

SOCHI, Russia - Team Cana-das path to a gold medal got a little tougher even after beating Finland in overtime.

By failing to win in regula-tion, Canada did not clinch the top seed and a favourable matchup in the quarter-finals. Instead, Sunday nights 2-1 overtime win over Finland at Bolshoy Ice Dome means the Canadians are the tournaments third seed and could face Swit-zerland in their next game.

Sixth-seeded Switzerland and 11th-seeded Latvia play Tuesday in the qualification round. The winner meets Cana-da in the quarter-finals Wednes-day.

Drew Doughty scored the winner at the 2:32 mark of over-time. Doughty also scored in regulation for Canada, while Tuomo Ruutu had Finlands goal.

Carey Price made 14 saves to get the victory on a night Cana-das defence limited Finlands offensive opportunities but the offence struggled to create on the big ice against a tough op-ponent. Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for the Finns, who are the fourth seed and are likely to see host Russia in the quarter-fi-nals.

At 13:44, no review was need-ed for Canada to take a 1-0 lead. With Jarkko Immonen - who re-placed the injured Aleksander Barkov in the lineup and as the first-line centre - in the box for interference, Doughty got a shot through from just inside the top of the left faceoff circle that hit the top-left corner behind Rask.

Not long after, Jonathan Toews came close to giving Canada a two-goal lead when he had a nifty wrap-around at-tempt that forced Rask to dive across the crease. Rask covered it up, and there was some ques-

tion whether it went in.Before the linesman dropped

the puck for the next faceoff, the horn blared signalling the situa-tion room wanted to take a look. After the review, it was an-nounced that the puck did not completely cross the goal-line.

For a long while, Canada lacked much in the way of sus-tained attack time, save for a shift by the line of Patrick Mar-leau, Toews and Jeff Carter. Still, it held the 1-0 lead until Finland struck late in the second period.

Ossi Vaananen took a shot from the point that Ruutu de-flected perfectly past defence-man Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Price to tie the score at 1 at the 18:00 mark of the second.

Finland got buzzing from there, almost taking the lead 30 seconds later on an impressive rush by Juhamatti Aaltonen. Mi-kael Granlund had his chance down the wing with 25 seconds to go.

Dear Annie: The past four years of my mar-riage have been difficult. My husband and I have made many poor financial decisions, and we also have intimacy issues. Im an artist. When our kids were young, I chose to do freelance work so I could stay at home. My husband has a steady job with a 9 to 5 workday. On the side, he is a talent-ed musician and gets low-paying gigs a few times a year. Over time, my husbands band equipment has become worn, and he has hinted that hed like to upgrade. While I would like him to be happy, we are not in a financial po-sition to invest in a hobby that offers little return. On the other hand, I am extremely well paid for my artistic craftsmanship and would like to invest in some technical equip-ment to further my career. If I am paid more, we could then finance my husbands future musical purchases. Unfortunately, my husbands response to not getting what he wants has been imma-ture. He attacks my choices, and I resent the lack of respect for the sacrifices Ive made to raise our kids. The kids are older now, but it seems that Im not married to an equal part-ner, but rather a perpetual teenager. I love my husband, but I feel stuck in a rela-tionship that is unhealthy in more ways than one. Your thoughts? -- Got the Blues Dear Blues: It is not unusual for couples in their 40s and 50s to reassess their lives, won-dering where their youthful dreams went. Like you, your husband may feel stuck, be-lieving he could have had a career as a mu-sician instead of the one that helps provide for his family. Please dont turn this into a standoff. Have a gentle, loving conversation. Ask for his input. But if money issues are an ongoing problem, it might help to enlist a third party with better financial acumen to referee. Dear Annie: Why do women announcers who appear on the TV news and weather programs dress so trashy? They wear mini-skirts up to their rears, bare arms and shoul-ders, and low necklines showing everything. The men on these same programs always look professional, with nice suits or sport jackets. Ive heard people say that a womans knees are the ugliest part of the body, and yet they wear short skirts above the knees. Why dont their bosses stop all of this vulgar dress? -- Not a Prude Dear Not: What makes you think the wom-en are selecting this clothing? More likely, their bosses, the producers of the shows, encourage the women to dress this way because sex sells. In all fairness, national news announcers, both male and female, tend to dress more professionally. But if your local news has the men in suits and the women in low-cut blouses and miniskirts, it is sexist, and you should write the station and say so. Dear Annie: You sometimes receive letters from grandparents who feel sad because they dont receive thank-you notes or phone calls from their grandchildren. Following retirement, my husband and I moved 12 hours away from our children and grandchildren. After upgrading our cell-phones so we could text and take pictures, we quickly reaped the rewards. The teen-age grandchildren ALWAYS respond within minutes when we text them (keep it brief). They often send thank-you notes via text. And the little ones love FaceTime (on their parents phones) and interact with us in real time. We have set up photo album streams that we can all access to share pictures. We were really amazed at how much this has kept us connected with family, and it is well worth the added cost. Its a big step for many grandparents to take, but most provid-ers offer free instruction, and once you get into it, it becomes easy and fun. -- A Happy and Well-Connected Grandma Annies Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
