To m F L e Tc h e rBlack Press

The B.C. cabinet has refused to appoint George Abbott as the next Chief Commis-sioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission, leaving the position vacant as of April 1.

Cabinet ministers were tight-lipped about the reason for the sud-den reversal on ap-pointing Abbott, who was approached about the job six months ago by Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad.

Rustad issued a statement saying only that a search will begin for a new appointee, emphasizing the “criti-cal importance” of the Treaty Commission’s

work towards dozens of unresolved land claims negotiations.

Health Minister Terry Lake told Kam-loops This Week that he and his colleagues are bound by cabinet confi-dentiality on the rea-sons for the last-minute decision. Abbott’s ap-pointment had already been approved by the federal government and the First Nations Summit, who share ju-risdiction over the Treaty Commission with the province.

Outgoing Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre, who agreed to a three-year extension of her term to keep the 20-year-old treaty talks moving ahead, praised

Abbott as “a man of in-tegrity, intelligence and extensive experience” who was prepared to make progress.

“This retraction of the Chief Commission-er selection after months of agreement, expectation and reli-ance by other parties, raises questions about B.C.’s commitment to the treaty negotiation process,” Pierre said.

In recent years, Pierre criticized the B.C. government’s em-phasis on interim re-source agreements to push mining and gas development. Fellow commissioner Dave Haggard has warned that abandoning the slow and costly treaty talks with Ottawa means going back to court on unresolved treaties.

The official silence over the sudden rever-sal has fuelled specula-tion by Abbott and oth-ers that it was due to Premier Christy Clark’s bitterness from the 2012 B.C. Liberal lead-ership contest, where Abbott finished third behind Clark and Kevin Falcon. Both Falcon and Abbott left politics after clashing repeated-ly with Clark about the handling of the harmo-nized sales tax referen-dum and other issues.

Nearly all MLAs from former premier Gordon Campbell’s government endorsed either Falcon or Abbott in the leadership con-test.

T r e v o r C r aw l e yTo borrow a phrase

from an American po-litical advisor to Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential elec-tion — “It’s the econo-my, stupid.”

Over the past nine years, especially during the 2011 federal elec-tion, the Conservative Party hammered that mantra home.

If you recall, every-where you turned, some Tory politician or spokesperson was ask-ing for a “strong, sta-ble, national, majority Conservative govern-ment” while trumpet-ing their economic cre-dentials.

Conservatives like to portray themselves as the guardian of tax-payer’s money and re-sponsible spending on economic priorities, such as infrastructure or national defence.

However, there’s more to government spending to those kinds of priorities, as brought up by federal Industry Minister James Moore last week.

Moore, who was in Cranbrook to address members of the Cran-brook Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, spent much of his address speaking about the economy both from an inter-provincial and internationally stand-point.

However, he did de-vote much of his time afterwards to taking questions from the crowd, one of which was from City Council-lor Danielle Cardozo, who asked Moore to explain the relation-ship between govern-ment funding of arts and culture in the con-text of generating eco-nomic activity.

“Arts and culture represents 640,000

jobs in the Canadian economy,” said Moore. “It’s three times the size of Canada’s insur-ance industry. It’s twice the size of Canada’s forest industry.

“It is a massive part of the Canadian econo-my.”

Given it’s impact on the economy he also lamented what he said is an apparent discon-nect or general un-awareness of Canadian history by Canadians.

“In only four of Can-ada’s 13 provinces and territories is it mandat-ed for a child to take a history class in order to graduate from high school,” Moore said.

“So we don’t know a lot about our history, including the fact that one in four Canadians under the age of 25 can name Sir John A. Mac-donald as Canada’s first prime minister.

“It’s that bad.”In the context of arts

and culture, Canada has the largest comedy festival in the world (Just for Laughs in Montreal), the largest international jazz festi-val (Montreal), and one of the oldest estab-lished ballet organiza-tions in the Royal Win-nipeg Ballet, according to Moore.

On museums, Moore recounted an interesting story at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa during his tenure as heritage minister, when he was in the vault containing all the historical artifacts, holding Sir John A. Macdonald’s pocket watch in one hand, and the last spike pounded into the Canadian Pa-cific Railway at Craigel-lachie, B.C.

“There I was as a

Federal Industry Minister James Moore last week.

British Columbia heri-tage minister and I was holding the pocket watch for the man who had the vision, who said Canada will not be complete without Brit-ish Columbia being a part of the family and built the railway,” said Moore. “And the actual last spike that has been confirmed as the actu-al last spike, in my hand that cemented my province into Cana-dian confederation.

“I thought this is a pretty cool Canadian moment, but I also thought it was a pretty disgraceful Canadian moment, because both these items are sitting in a vault and nobody can see them.”

Moore related an-other story of a stop at a museum in Midway during a tour through the province on his motorbike, where he learned about the his-tory of local Japa-nese-Canadians who were interned in camps during the Second World War and how they overcame the trauma and rebuilt their lives afterwards.

It was an ‘impactful’ display that needed to be shared with the rest of the country, he said, which gave birth to an artifact-sharing pro-gram he developed.

“That was the first time I’d seen it,” Moore said. “That should be in the national muse-um and maybe if we set up a network all across Canada, we work with the Canadian Muse-ums Association, all the small museums across the country, they will sign an agree-ment with the national history museum that will give them access to the catalogue of the three million items in the national museum and they can build a

thematic that makes sense to them locally.

“So we did that.”The program was

set up and the artifact insurance indemnifi-cation fund was dou-bled from $2.5 to $5 billion, he added.

Moore poked a little fun at himself, noting

that such a simple question turned into a lengthly answer, but concluded that invest-ing in the arts and cul-ture should be a priori-ty for any community across the country.

“What is the value to arts and culture to a community?” he asked

rhetorically. “It means everything.

“…And in small communities, yes, it re-quires government spending, and get used to it, because it’s what makes the quality of life that much better for all of us.”

Kimberley News“Many Tributes To

‘Bert’ Banks” Representative min-

ing men from all Com-inco’s operations were present, in person or in spirit, when H. R. “Bert” Banks, retiring Superin-tendent of Mill Opera-tions, was honoured at a banquet in the Elks Hall last Friday evening.

The occasion brought together visi-tors from Trail – headed by Cominco’s top west-ern executive, R. W. Dia-mond, Vancouver, Nel-son and other points to say farewell to a man who in 32 years of ser-vice with the company left his mark not only on the mining industry but on every phase of com-munity life.

B. E. Hurdle, general superintendent of Kim-berley operations for the Company, was chair-man of the informal evening, which consist-ed of a social hour, fol-lowed by a dinner in Mr. Banks’ honour.

Feature of the eve-ning was not so much the presentation of gifts to the retiring superin-

tendent but the sponta-neous and deeply-felt reminiscences of early days in Kimberley oper-ations and the opportu-nity to many oldtimers to exchange greetings.

Mr. Hurdle read many letters and tele-grams from nationally known figures in the mining work all paying tribute to Mr. Banks in-cluding one from the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy conveying a life mem-bership on the former superintendent.

Although he has re-tired from his Cominco service, Mr. Banks will be by no means idle. He leaves shortly for Ottawa where he will be co-chairman of the forthcoming Common-wealth Mining Confer-ence.

Presentations were made by A. G. Robert-son for the Mill; C. D. M. Chisholm for the mine; P. F. McIntyre for Com-inco; T. M. Anderson for the Benevolent Society; D. Harrison for the Wel-fare Society and E. N. Stiles and W. C. Jewitt for the gathering as a whole.

Tributes to Mr. Banks were paid by Mr. Hur-dle, Mr. Diamond, Nor-

man G. Randall, Clem Thompson, Charles Mitchell, of Vancouver and Art Irwin of Trail.

Mr. Banks’ address of thanks may well be the last of the many times a Kimberley audience has felt the impact of his wisdom and philoso-phy. He ranged over the 34 years he has lived and worked here recall-ing his first visit to the Concentrator in compa-ny of Mr. Diamond in 1924.

He recalled many in-cidents of early days and urged his listeners to be alert always to ways of contributing to their community. His plea for

the spirit of “commu-nityism”, first voiced at the Chamber of Com-merce annual meeting a week ago, met with a sympathetic ear.

Hubert Raymond Banks had a brilliant ca-reer in his chosen pro-fession. He was born in Toronto in 1891 and re-ceived all his schooling there graduating with degrees of B.A.Sc. and Mining Engineer from the University of Toron-to in 1914. Upon his graduation, he took up his first mining activities in Humbolt, Arizona.

In 1916, he returned to Canada to enlist in the A. O. T. C. After re-

ceiving his commission he served overseas and reached France in the latter part of 1916, where he served until war’s end. He attained the rank of Captain and was awarded the Military Cross while serving in the Seventh Engineers.

On demobilization, he returned to Humbolt where he was married in 1919. He joined Com-inco in February 1924 and after a short time in Trail was transferred to the Sullivan Concentra-tor as metallurgical en-gineer. Later that year he was appointed assistant mill superintendent and superintendent in 1931,

a post he held until his retirement at the end of February.

Mr. and Mrs. Banks have four children: Bub-bles at home, John in Sudbury, Nicky in Otta-wa and Bert at home.

He has always been active in technical and professional activities and was awarded the Toronto Alumni Medal in 1948 and the Inco Medal in 1954.

In his 32 years here there was hardly a com-munity movement that did not feel the benefit of his patient wisdom. He served for many years in hospital work and was particularly in-

terested in the Chamber of Commerce move-ment which he felt was the ideal vehicle for the development of his idea “communityism”. At one point he served bril-liantly as president of the Associated Boards of Trade and Chamber of Commerce of South-eastern British Colum-bia.

150 persons present last Friday evening, who included friends from all walks of life as well as his company associates, made certain that “Bert” Banks knew with cer-tainty that he was leav-ing behind him a host of friends.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

No, Cranbrook, you have gone too far!I am lying here in my hospital bed! My

hospital bed! Yet I find I cannot face sur-gery without addressing this egregious, calamitous, preposterous obloquy to our fair com-munity, which has existed here, far, far above you, I might add.

Since we are so far above you — the highest city in B.C., Cranbrook — we are going to take the higher ground. The higher ground, Cran-brook!

We have no need to troll for your tour-ists, Cranbrook. These tourists are coming here! Tourists come to Kimberley for na-ture, for good times, for athletic winter pursuits. They come to Cranbrook to get gas. You are oh so good at that Cranbrook. And even then, you must entice Kimber-

lites — not Kimberlarians, as you so insult-ing name us — down to Cranbrook by of-fering one cent a litre less than we do. Why else would we want to leave our pristine

wilderness, where wildlife and humanity exist in per-fect harmony, to venture into your urban sprawl, where urban sprawling deer run amok! So there, Cranbrook!

Our tourists, Cranbrook, are of a higher quality than

that!As for the sign at the Wasa, which you

seem so jealously and defensively protec-tive of, I suspect it is because you do not want these tourists to see your sewage ponds at first sight. But as I said, we’re tak-ing the high road here — and I do not mean Gray Creek Pass! A detour through Kimberley en route to Cranbrook refreshes

the mind and spirit of those tourists — a brief sojourn beside a cooling mountain stream before they descend to the con-crete jungle that is your Strip.

Our lovely Platzl puts tourists in the mood to spend good Alberta money all over the region, that’s what makes our Platzl great! A whole that is greater than the mere sum of its parts, Cranbrook. The tourists then are in the mood to take your sinkhole tour, your pothole’s greatest hits.

As for the Kimberley/Cranbrook rival-ry, not the Cranbrook/Kimberley rivalry as you so condescending venture to label it — rivalry suggests equality, and as we dis-cussed, we are too far along the high road to mention that any further.

Oh, one further thing, Cranbrook. Go Dynamiters Go!

Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Cranbrook, you have gone too far

Letters to the editortier 2 Provincials

We just returned home from the BC Tier 2 Provincials held in Cranbrook. We want-ed to let you know what an amazing expe-rience we shared with our team in your town — our first impression flying over your snow dusted mountains, the friendly airport security man, the welcoming and accommodating staff at the Best Western, the lovely lady at the front desk of the Western Financial Place Arena (she let us in to run the stairs), the moms who set up and ran the concession at the Memorial Arena, the incredibly friendly owner and or manager of Eastside Mario’s. — I could go on!

Literally every person we had contact with in Cranbrook was an asset to your city, it must be a great place to live.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us feel like we were home.

The Hunt/Sears familyVancouver Eastside

tier 2 ProvincialsSteve Thomson, Minister of Lands, etc,

in his address to hunters in the hunting and trapping regulations, expressed his delight in the fact that over 100,000 hunt-ing licenses were issued last year. That in-cludes children of the ages 10 to 16, who don’t have to take any formal training, but in the charge of a “mentor.”

The image of a 10-year-old, dressed like Rambo, toting a high-powered rifle, makes the blood run cold. Beware hikers, joggers,

cyclists and other hunters.And if all these hunters are successful

— and most of them are, and most of them have more than one tag — well, do the math. And then they complain that they are seeing fewer and fewer critters in the bush.

Must be the predators. Bill Bennett, MLA (a hunter), stated in his letter to the editor that we must engage in an “aggres-sive management of predators.” In other words, eliminate the competition.

Increased hunter success means more licenses issued means increased revenue for the Province.

What I really, truly, unironically think, is that the sign at the Wasa junction is just fine. And that if it is modified to include directions to Cranbrook through Kimber-ley, that’s perfectly fine with me. So much the better.

But after the original story appeared on Friday the 13th, about the sign and the idea of modify-ing it, I thought I saw here an opportunity for humour, over what I think is actually a pretty trivial thing (the sign).

And since the term “longstanding Kimberley/Cranbrook rivalry” was used in the original story, it was my intention to poke a little fun at that, because I agree with one Kimberley correspondent of mine, in response to Thursday’s column, that Kimberley and Cranbrook have a synergistic relation. I consider them prac-

tically one community, except sometimes I feel a little envious about Kimberley’s joyous vibe.

This is one of the things I was trying to achieve in my column “Kimberley, You

Have Gone Too Far,” in com-paring the great tourist as-pects of Kimberley — the Platzl, the Ski Hill, the Na-ture Park — and how Cran-brook is currently in the pro-cess of reinventing itself the way Kimberley has been since the mine closed —

with great success, I want to say. Having lived here 17 years, I have the greatest re-spect for Kimberley, its culture, its beauty, and the tourist punch it packs.

As for tourists, and the “competition” for tourist dollars, I believe what’s good for Kimberley tourism is good for Cran-brook tourism and vice versa.

By setting myself up as a ranter, as

someone I’m not (something I do regular-ly in columns), I try to make a satirical point. Sometimes this style works really well — for example, when I write from the point of view of an angry illegal dumper, the point is made with great success. In this recent case, writing from the point of view of someone obsessed with an an-cient rivalry between two towns, it was not a great success. Judging from the gen-eral tone of response, it was the opposite of success.

So I would publicly like to say that Kimberley is a great place, a shining jewel in the Purcells, that makes all the commu-nities around it better. If a modified sign at the Wasa junction directs more traffic into Kimberley, so much the better for all of us, I say.

“We’re very good at being old. We’ve had a lot of practice.”

‘Jimmy’ Warland

“We don’t stop because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

G.B. Shaw

Recently I had occasion – I love that expression – I had occasion to visit a local seniors’ apartment complex.

An old acquaintance of mine, one Cecil Lee was in the process of selling the family home and moving into the complex, and com-plex it was.

As my friend Cecil is slightly older than I am, I felt it to be my duty to supervise the move. You never know what daft old peo-ple are likely to do.

I dressed up just a little for the occasion — I’ve no idea why — and drove over there without getting lost — after all, the place is way across town — and then parked in an inappropriate spot and entered by the wrong door so that the first person that I ran into had never even heard of my friend, Cecil. But the man must have been some sort of guardian because, with a wild look in his eyes, he dug up a kind of regis-ter and waded through it while I carefully spelled out my friend’s name. I was begin-

ning to believe that I had come to the wrong establishment.

After a few minutes of confusion, without actually patting me on the head, the guardian suggested that I might be in the wrong part of the complex and so led me at a cracking pace through a myriad hallways to where I was brought to a halt by female staff members who, like hospi-tal nurses, do not deem it necessary to wear recognizable uniforms. Even though they probably thought of me as a possible

escapee, they were quite gen-tle.

To this very day, I have idea how I was escorted to a table where my friend was sipping coffee with a bevy of elderly ladies, some of whom were obviously telling my erstwhile companion what he could and

should do whilst interred. Not one of them seemed to approve of my casual at-tire and untidy hair. I experienced what some call ‘the jaundiced eye’.

Because of my suspicious nature, I did not sample the proffered coffee lest it be drugged and so escaped through ‘caverns measureless to man’ and out into the fresh air where I commenced the seem-ingly endless task of remembering where I’d parked my car, and what colour it was.

Cecil invited me to ‘a sumptuous’ din-ner a few days later and that turned out to be an epic. Even though I had taken the

time to scout out the proper entrance the night before, I was foiled at the door that was blocked by a giant sign telling me (and others I assume) that I must make use of another entrance that was indicat-ed by a large arrow. I hobbled round ex-pecting yet another adventure.

By dint of my acute navigational pow-ers, I eventually found myself by the pleasant dining area. Cecil was not there waiting patiently for his guest and I won-dered if he might not have gone out some-where and had been unable to find his way back.

Finally, a kind, matronly lady took me firmly by the arm and pointed. Cecil, who is inclined to be as impetuous as a stalag-mite, was at his appointed table tucking in. I sauntered (tottered) over to him and grabbed a seat before starvation took me.

Cecil stopped eating for as long as it took him to introduce me to his ta-ble-mates, whose names, as is my wont, I’ve already forgotten. Then I ate.

The meal was good; the lady who served us was kind and patient but, al-though I believe that those who live there are extremely lucky to have such a place to live, I’ll hang on here for now. I’ve got things to do like start my tomato plants, plan and cook a meal or two and, maybe, make a start on the gazebo I’ve been plan-ning for ages.

Even if they’d have had me, I’ll take a rain check, pro tem.

Cowtown callingIce drop pair to Calgary; will face Hitmen in post-season

Taylor rocca PhoTo

The Kootenay Ice gave out annual team awards prior to puck drop Friday. Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin (far left), forward Tim Bozon (second from right) and forward Luke Philp (right) were recognized as the Haddad Financial Services Three Stars.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Hockey fans in Cran-brook and Calgary were privy to a little first-round playoff preview this weekend as the Ice and Hitmen went head-to-head in a home-and-home set to wrap up the 2014-15 WHL season.

The Hitmen chewed out two nail-biting victo-ries -- 2-1 Friday in Cran-brook and 3-2 Sunday in Calgary -- to claim the WHL’s Central Division title and set up a first-round playoff matchup with the Ice.

“We’re trying to finish the season strong and obviously they’re fight-ing for position in the standings,” said Koote-nay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin Friday night. “It’s also that Calgary-Koote-nay rivalry that always seems to come out.

“They took it to us good in the second peri-od. Turnovers, lapses in our ‘D’ zone cost us.”

Holfin did all he could Friday, turning aside 29 of 31 shots di-rected his way, including a jaw-dropper in the sec-ond period to keep his team within two goals.

A pair of second-pe-riod goals by Loch Mor-rison and Jordy Stallard couldn’t be pinned on Hoflin as the Hitmen outshot the hosts 19-4 in the middle period.

“We lost it a bit in the second there,” said Koo-tenay Ice forward Luke Philp Friday. “We did have a good push in the third, in the end we did come close. It was a pretty hard-fought game out there by both teams. Things are starting to re-ally ramp up.

“Every game now is pretty well close to a playoff game…every game is going to have that playoff-like atmo-sphere out there.”

It was a goaltending battle of sorts Friday night, as starter Bren-dan Burke did his part to keep the Hitmen in it during a first period in which the Ice outshot the visitors 13-5.

The 20-year-old puck-stopper turned aside 29 of the 30 shots sent his way, en route to a first-star performance.

The only man to beat Burke was 20-year-old Tim Bozon.

With time winding

down in the third period, the Montreal Canadiens prospect took a back-door feed from Sam Re-inhart before burying into a gaping cage. With Hitmen defenceman Mi-cheal Zipp and forward Kenton Helgesen both in the sin bin, there was all sorts of space for the Kootenay man advan-tage and it capitalized.

Unfortunately for the home side, that’s all they were able to muster as Burke shut the door in the final moments as Hoflin sat on the bench for the extra attacker.

Sunday afternoon the Ice and Hitmen battled once again, with Travis Sanheim registering the game-winning goal on a mighty blast from the point with 4:17 remain-ing the third period.

Sanheim’s 15th of the season gave the Hitmen a 3-2 lead and a late push from the visitors came up empty.

Levi Cable scored his 28th of the season for the Ice, with Reinhart adding his 19th.

Helgesen and Stal-lard replied for the Hit-men to round out the scoring.

Burke earned his second consecutive vic-tory over the Ice with a 23-save performance.

Hoflin also made 25 stops in a losing effort.

With a record of 37-31-1-3, the Kootenay Ice finish the season fourth in the Central Division, sixth in the Eastern Conference and in the first wild-card slot.

The Ice face the Hit-men in the first round of the WHL post-season, beginning Friday night with Game 1 scheduled for 7 p.m. in Calgary.

Hardware hand outKootenay Ice honour best of 2014-15 season

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Prior to puck drop Friday, the Kootenay Ice presented team awards for the 2014-15 season.

Forward Luke Philp hauled in the most hardware, being recog-nized for four separate awards, including team MVP and Fan Club Play-er of the Year.

“He’s easily one of the hardest-working guys in this league,” said Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. “No matter how his games going -- some-times pucks aren’t bouncing the way he wants them to -- but he still battles. His work ethic is something that every player should strive to have. It’s some-thing you can look up to.”

Philp has had a ban-ner season as he led the Kootenay Ice in scoring with 82 points (30G, 52A).

His assists total is a

new career high as is his point total, having sur-passed his marks from the 2013-14 campaign (46A, 77pts).

“I’m extremely hon-oured about that,” Philp said of his awards rec-ognition. “To get the Play-ers Award, that’s awe-some -- it’s probably the best feeling you can have, k n o w i n g your team-mates think about you like that. To get the fan award, too, that’s pretty cool. But I couldn’t have done it without my teammates. There’s a lot of guys that could have also had those awards.”

Hoflin was also rec-ognized for his re-cord-setting perfor-mance between the pipes this season, earn-

ing the Most Underrat-ed Player award.

“It means a lot for me personally, coming from where I started to where I am now,” Hoflin said. “It’s nice to be rec-

ognized by the organiza-tion, the fans, e v e r y o n e that recog-nized me for the awards I got today.

“Early on, technically, I was im-proved from last season.

That confidence grew as the season went and it allowed me to get even better at those little things I had been work-ing on since I got here.”

Hoflin’s list of accom-plishments through the 2014-15 season truly re-quires a story all its own.

The native of Spruce Grove, Alta., has set new Kootenay Ice franchise

records for games played (67), minutes played (3,848), saves made (1,837), wins (36) and consecutive games played (29) in a season.

Kimberley Dynamiters forward Braden Saretsky (#17) celebrates one of his three goals during Game 2 of the KIJHL championship, while Kamloops Storm forward Brett Watkinson (#45) shows his frustration.

Kaboom!Nitros take 2-0 lead over Storm in KIJHL championship

Taylor rocc aThe Kimberley Dy-

namiters are in the driv-er’s seat of the KIJHL championship and headed for Kamloops with a 2-0 series lead following a 6-3 victory over the Kamloops Storm Sunday night.

On Saturday, the Dy-namiters took a Game 1 victory by a 3-2 final, with captain Jason Rich-ter playing the hero in front of 1,208 fans at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“Obviously it’s nice, but like [head coach] Jerry [Bancks] always says, you’ve got to worry about your next shift,” Richter said Saturday night. “We’re going to worry about the next game. It’s a little bit high in the dressing room, but we keep it pretty even keel. Our only worry is on the next game.”

As has been the case for the duration of the post-season, Richter got it done at both ends of the rink Saturday night.

Earlier in the game, the Cranbrook native threw himself in front of a heavy point shot, blocking the blast with his knee, before gingerly making his way back to the bench. The captain didn’t miss a shift.

“At the start of the year, we all pretty much made a promise to the team that we would lay out and block shots no matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts,” Richter said. “You know when you get back to the bench, everyone’s giving you pats on the butt. The pain feels good. It just comes natural now. You just do it.”

Braden Saretsky con-tinued his torrid scoring pace, registering three goals and an assist to help fuel the Nitros in Game 2 Sunday night.

After scoring 19 goals in 44 regular-season games split between the Summerland Steam and Kimberley Dynamiters, the 18-year-old native of West Kelowna has been lights out in the post-season, leading the KIJHL with 16 goals through 18 games.

“I’ve just been shoot-ing the puck lots on the power play. I’ve been getting good opportuni-ties and I’ve been lucky enough to bury most of them,” Saretsky said

Sunday night. “I have to give it to my teammates as well. [Jared] Marchi has probably assisted on half or more of all them on the power play.”

Saretsky tallied his first of the night with a second-period marker that gave his team a 3-1 advantage.

In tight, the 5-foot-11 forward patiently out-waited Storm goal-tender Jacob Mullen be-fore finding a hole high and beating the 20-year-old puck-stopper.

Saretsky wrapped up his hat-trick perfor-mance with a pair of blasts from the point, both assisted by Marchi.

The first came with the two teams skating four-on-four during a penalty-filled third peri-od. The last tally found twine midway through the final period on the man advantage.

Saretsky’s hat-trick marker gave the home team a 6-2 lead.

Outside of Saretsky’s spectacular perfor-mance, the officiating took centre stage in Game 2, particularly in the third period.

Tempers flared on both sides as the officials lost control of Game 2 before trying desperately to reel it back in.

“Sometimes you want to say something, but you’ve got to have a second voice in the back of your head telling you not to do it,” Saretsky said of the high emo-tions. “You’ve just got to think about the team, think about the boys and what we’re going through.

“Everyone is thinking the same thing and no one is saying it. You’ve got to keep your compo-sure and leave the talking to the coaches.”

A grand total of 40 penalty minutes were handed out in the third period of Game 2. Through the five periods

previous, only 10 penalty minutes had been hand-ed out, collectively. The discouraging part of it all was, despite the penal-ties doled out, there were plenty more that went uncalled as the playing surface became an all-out battlefield.

“I don’t know why it transpired the way it did,” said Kimberley Dy-namiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “It is what it is. It’s hockey and sometimes it gets like that. I try to tell my guys to stay calm and skate away from all the stuff.

“Don’t lose sight of the prize. One of our mottos is ‘Don’t get too high, don’t get too low.’ You’ve just got to control your emotions. I’m a big believer that a lot of wasted energy can go into getting into scream-ing, yelling, pushing and shoving. Just control your emotions and get back to the bench. Sometimes you’ve got to take a punch for the team to be successful.

“Get on the bench, take some deep breaths and get ready for your next shift. That’s all that really matters is your next shift. Being able to skate away from some of that stuff, you’ll find some of the best players there are anywhere are people that can do that. They play hard, they play tough, but they control their emotions.”

Storm forward Ian Chrystal and defence-man Alex Winters had their nights end early as both were tagged with 10-minute misconducts during the final five minutes of regulation.

“It’s playoff hockey and the refs are going to call it the way they want to see it called,” Storm head coach Ed Patter-son told Adam Williams of Kamloops This Week. “We were just a little slow to adapt to what was being let go and once we got on that page, they backed down. We’ll see what happens come Game 3.”

After burning Mullen for three goals on 16 shots in Game 1, the Dy-namiters took the on-slaught one step further in Game 2 Sunday night, chasing the native of Coeur D’Alene, Id., in the second period.

“He’s a big goalie, so

you’ve got to get his eyes. You’ve got to make sure you get screens,” Saretsky said of chasing Mullen. “Shots from the point work a lot on him because we’re taking away his eyes and he can’t see much. We’ve got to keep doing that.”

Mullen surrendered four goals on 18 shots in Game 2, giving way to 17-year-old Bailey De Palma after Alex Ro-solowsky put the hosts ahead 4-1 with a pow-er-play goal at 15:54 of the second period.

“Give them credit, they’ve buried their chances when they’ve had them,” Patterson said. “Our goaltending hasn’t been sharp, our defensive zone hasn’t been sharp. Basically, we got a little cocky after beating Osoyoos, thought we were top dog, and they’ve come here and worked hard.”

The play that ended Mullen’s night was a particularly ugly one as the Storm goaltender punched a rebound out into the slot where Ro-solowsky collected the puck and deposited it into the gaping cage.

Dynamiters forward Keenan Haase started the scoring midway through the first period, sending a quick release past Mullen’s high blocker side.

With time winding down in the opening pe-riod, Nitros defenceman James Jowsey fired a long, soft point shot to-wards the net. The puck found its way through a maze of legs before squeaking through Mul-len short side for a 2-0 Dynamiters lead.

The Storm found life late in the first period as

affiliate player Max Pat-terson banged home a rebound on the power play to cut into the Kim-berley lead.

Patterson wrapped the night with a goal and an assist.

Kamloops carried that energy into the sec-ond period, but the tide soon turned as Saretsky beat Mullen for his first of the night.

Another late pow-er-play goal gave the Storm life heading into the break as Mitch Friesen unleashed a blast that beat Brouwer over the shoulder to make it 4-2.

Friesen added his second of the night to round out the scoring, tallying an unassisted power-play goal with 3:11 to play in the third period.

Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 25 saves for his 14th victory of the post-season.

De Palma finished the night with nine stops on 11 shots.

A total of 978 fans took in Sunday’s action at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Game 3 goes Tuesday night at McArthur Park Arena in Kamloops.

Notes: A moment of

silence was held prior to Game 1 in honour of for-mer Kimberley Dyna-miters player Robert Brooks. A member of the Cranbrook Colts 1995-98) and Dynamiters (1998-99), Brooks passed away due to liver disease at age 36.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will decide to share your thoughts with friends and loved ones whose opinions you care about. What could seem strange to you is that others simply are continuing on different paths, and they might not even hear you. Tonight: Be the master of your domain. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) All eyes look to you for advice about important issues. No matter what your status might be, you’ll have several admirers who can’t seem to get enough of you. Follow your intuition, and focus on the long term when making decisions. To-night: Decide who and what. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Know when you need to pull back. Timing will be important. When you are less assertive, others will step up to the plate, and you will learn a lot more about the people who surround you in your day-to-day life. To-night: Practice your vanishing act.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can count on your support-ers, especially as you will be focused on achieving certain results. You could be over-whelmed by everything that you want to clear out. Defer to a close friend or loved one if you’re feeling confused. To-night: At a favorite spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your positive approach will af-fect how events turn out. Brain-storm with others who might have similar concerns. Touch base with someone whom you care a lot about. Recognize that a problematic situation could be the result of you not being real-istic. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take an overview of a particular aspect of your life. You will see things from a totally different perspective. Understand that someone who cares a lot about you could be somewhat secre-tive about who he or she really is. Tonight: Take in new vistas. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could have a different perspective from most of your

associates. Relate to each indi-vidual in your life directly, and everyone will feel more appre-ciated as a result. You might be waffling over a decision you are about to make. Tonight: Make the most of the night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to someone whom you would like to get to know bet-ter. Encourage this person to come out of his or her shell, and ask questions. On some level, you might seem like opposites, but your bottom lines will be similar. Tonight: Listen to others’ suggestions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be more direct than you have been in a while. Con-sider taking a vacation, espe-cially if you have not been on one in years. Planning it could be just as fun as experiencing it. Be careful with a family mem-ber who could be distorting the truth. Tonight: Do for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity will surge. The thought of spring and romance is likely to make your heart soar. Consider what you expect from

a relationship at this point in your life. Put yourself in the right place to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. Tonight: Be open to spon-taneity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay close to home, as you will be happiest there. Be aware that a friend might have a dif-ferent idea of what you should do and likely will want to change your plans. Stand your ground and do what you want. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) tSpeak your mind. You are ca-pable of conducting successful negotiations. Tap into your imagination, but be aware that you could be wearing rose-col-ored glasses and perhaps might not be as realistic as you need to be. Tonight: Meet a pal at a mutually favored spot. BORN TODAY Psychologist Erich Fromm (1900), painter Juan Gris (1887), actress Joan Crawford (1905) ***

Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old man, di-vorced for the past 15 years. My daughter is 24 years old and married to a good guy, and they have two lovely boys. Although I have struggled with depression over the years, I try to live a good, honest Christian life. I raised my two children as a single parent, and my ex has become a deadbeat mother. My ex has married several times since our divorce. Each of her subsequent husbands has been an alcoholic or a drug user. My problem is that my daughter and her mother seldom speak or see each other. My ex will see my son on occasion, but not much. She’s the kind of person who cannot admit fault. When my ex was married to one of her drunken drug users, she let him kick my daughter out of their home because she broke curfew once. I can see how much this estrangement hurts my daughter, and I want so much for her to reconcile with her mother. My daugh-ter reaches out to my ex through mail, birth-day party invitations and occasional voice-mails. Her mother never responds. I recently texted both of them stating that I am sorry for my part in the divorce, hop-ing it would open up communication. I en-couraged them to meet at a neutral location without finding fault in each other and just spend time together. I feel that a large amount of responsibili-ty has been placed on my shoulders due to my ex’s refusal to be a decent parent. My question is whether or not I should say any-more regarding this. I worry so much for my daughter. -- Dad Dear Dad: Your suggestion to meet in a neutral location is a good one, and we hope they will take you up on it. But please under-stand that you cannot force your ex-wife to be a better, more caring mother. And there is no way to prevent her behavior from hurting your daughter. What you can do, however, is make sure your daughter knows how much she is loved and valued by her father and others, and that her mother’s lack of affec-tion is not about her -- it’s about Mom’s is-sues, and only Mom can remedy that. Help her limit the hurt by accepting Mom as she is. Dear Annie: This letter is in response to “Bob,” who has the “misfortune” of knowing “Joe,” who has Asperger syndrome and is in-vited everywhere within his circle of friends. I say “misfortune” because if Bob cannot see past Joe’s lack of social skills to the person he is underneath, then Bob is the less fortunate person. Joe probably never had anyone in his life teach him the finer points of commu-nication and friendship. For someone with Asperger’s, these traits do not come natural-ly or through regular interaction with others. These traits, just like reading, math and sci-ence, have to be taught. I am the mom of a 22-year-old “Aspie.” My husband and I spent hours teaching our son social skills, and our hard work has paid off tremendously. Our son is still socially awk-ward and misses some of the finer social cues, but he is flourishing at university and has a diverse circle of friends. If Joe were blind and constantly tripping over Bob’s furniture, I’m sure Bob would not exclude him because of it. Bob could be a real friend and help Joe maneuver through social situations in a positive way. -- A Mom Who Cares Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LONDON - Richard III was finally getting the ceremony and honour a king deserves, 530 years after his ignominious death in battle.

Hundreds of people, including some in peri-od costume and armour, turned out in Leicester-shire on Sunday to watch a procession car-rying the remains of the medieval king whose bones were found in 2012 under a parking lot. The cortege made its way to Leicester Cathe-dral, where the mon-arch will be properly re-buried.

Richard, the last Plantagenet king, was killed in battle against Henry Tudor in 1485 and buried hastily with-out a coffin in a long-de-molished monastery.

His bones weren’t found until 2012, when

archaeologists excavat-ed them from a Leices-ter parking lot. DNA tests, bone analysis and other scientific scrutiny established that the skeleton belonged to the king.

On Sunday, a hearse carrying the monarch’s remains, sealed inside an oak coffin, processed through Leicestershire’s countryside to Bo-sworth, the battlefield where the monarch fell. Crowds lined the route of the cortege, and re-enactors in costume fired cannons in a 21-gun salute.

Michael Ibsen, a de-scendant of the mon-arch who built the coffin that carried Richard’s remains, was among ac-ademics and others who placed white roses on the casket during a short ceremony earlier Sun-day.

The coffin will lie in Leicester Cathedral, where it will be lowered into a tomb on Thurs-day.

“His reburial at the end of the week will have all the dignity and solemnity that his origi-nal burial never had,” said Phil Stone, chair of the Richard III Society. It was time to reconsider the king’s legacy, he added.

The monarch was most famously por-trayed as a hunch-backed villain in Shake-speare’s play “Richard III,” though some histo-rians say he was a rela-tively enlightened mon-arch whose name was besmirched by his op-ponents.

“Let us remember King Richard III: The good king. The warrior king,” Stone said.

cAnAdiAn PressSURREY, B.C. - More than a month

after Steve Fonyo was stabbed during a violent home invasion, he has been lifted from an induced coma but is suffering from memory loss and slurred speech.

His sister Suzanne Main said on Sunday that doctors have diagnosed him with a head injury but they don’t know whether it will be permanent - and her family is holding out hope for a full recovery.

“When we arrived yesterday to visit him, he said, ‘Oh, I’m so happy that you’re here,’ and he started to cry and he gave me a big hug,” said Main, in a phone interview at her brother’s hos-pital bedside.

“It’s hard. We’re accepting the fact that he has a brain injury but we’re hopeful that he will recover. We’re looking at it from day one when he was in a coma, and now he’s better. It’s just a waiting game.”

She said the medically induced coma was slowly lifted about two weeks earlier, but her visit this week-end marked the first time she had seen him awake since the Feb. 13 attack.

RCMP have said the 49-year-old was transported to hospital after an early morning stabbing at a home in Surrey, south of Vancouver. Investiga-tors believed three men stormed the home in what was likely a targeted at-tack.

Main said Fonyo has since recov-ered from a collapsed lung he suffered in the stabbing. She added his feeding

tube was removed on Saturday and he can now eat soft foods.

But an MRI identified the head trauma, which is causing his voice to be slurred and his eyes to roll around when he talks. And because he has short-term memory loss, he has com-plained of a lack of visitors - when in fact Main’s daughter has visited daily.

“He’s aggravated. He wants to get out. We told him that people care about you and you’ve been on the news. And he said ‘Oh really? Oh, oh.’ He was happy to hear that.”

Main said the head injury is pre-venting Mounties from interviewing Fonyo.

“They don’t know anything until they interview Steve, and he’s not quite ready to give an interview,” she said.

“It’s very frustrating. Definitely, we’d like to know. We’re hoping that one day police will find whoever did it and press some charges. But we don’t know. We don’t know what happened.”

Surrey RCMP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

Fonyo, who lost a leg to bone can-cer as a child, first became known to Canadians in 1984 when he ran across Canada to raise money for cancer re-search.

But his achievements were later overshadowed by criminal convictions and jail on charges including fraud, theft and assault with a weapon. He was formally stripped of the Order of Canada in 2010.
