THE C ANADIAN PRESS

Two men arrested in Cran-brook Sunday in connection with the beating and disappear-ance of an Alberta man have been charged with first degree murder.

Insp. Gibson Glavin says RCMP in Cranbrook arrested the men Sunday after spotting them in a 2008 Dodge Charger, which officers have been watch-

ing for since an assault was re-ported by a passing motorist near Cochrane, Alta., on March 29.

RCMP say they believe the victim of that assault was 32-year-old Nicholas Lush, who Glavin says was reported miss-ing at about the same time.

As of press time, Cranbrook RCMP were unavailable for comment.

Glavin says a motive for the attack or the disappearance isn’t known, although he be-lieves investigators will get closer to learning it now that the two men are in custody.

Glavin says police hope Lush is still alive, noting they don’t have any reason to believe oth-erwise.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYIf you noticed a mo-

torhome covered in por-traits in Cranbrook on Tuesday, it’s because the driver, a photographer, was out and about look-ing for local subjects for an ambitious project.

Tim Van Horn, a na-tive of Red Deer, is six years into what was orig-inally a one-year project

of creating a mosaic of portraits of Canadians across the country.

He’s photographed people coast to coast to coast and everywhere in between as he builds this mosaic, which he plans to unveil in time for Canada’s 150th anni-versary in 2017.

“We need something to celebrate that birth-

day,” Van Horn said. “It’s a perfect opportunity to bring us all together, to have a moment and pause and look and re-flect upon who we are, what our values are, what do we need to change in our lives to make the country a bet-ter place.

Tre vor Cr awleyThere will be some-

thing for everyone who is looking to get out and get involved with the world’s most popular sport.

With spring in the air, registration for adult soccer leagues is fast approaching for a men’s league and a mixed league in Cranbrook.

The men’s league plays on the Mount Baker Secondary School soccer field and usually features three to five teams.

Players range from college-level athletes to those just looking to have fun in a competi-tive environment.

“It’s always a good time,” said AJ Wheaton, one of the organizers for the men’s league. “We’re always looking for players who want to come out and play some soccer that’s a lit-tle more competitive than your average kick-

Registration opens for adult soccer leagues

around.” Depending on

numbers from player registration, there could be anywhere from three to five teams, including one from Kimberley. Play-ers from the mens league also form a Cranbrook team and attend tournaments

around the region and in the U.S.

Registration forms are available at Players Bench.

If your more inter-ested in having some fun in a non-competi-tive environment, then mixed league may be more up your alley.

Mixed league, a

co-ed league for all abilities that plays a few times a week up in Moir Park, usually in-cludes four to six teams of 15-20 players.

The cost is $80 for mixed league and final registration will be at Laurie Middle School on Wednesday, April 8, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

For The TownsmanSarah Struthers of

Cranbrook was recently recognized by the Ca-nadian Diabetes Asso-

ciation as their 2014 Na-tional Young Volunteer.

This award honours youth who advance the mission and goals of the Association by helping to improve the health and well-being of indi-viduals living with or affected by diabetes.

Sarah was recog-nized for her ongoing volunteer work with children and their fami-lies at Diabetes camps, and her participation in educational mentoring programs that assist school teachers who have students with dia-betes. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of seven, Sarah is able to provide a first-hand perspective on the challenges of living with

diabetes. She began vol-unteering shortly after her diagnosis and has been asked to speak about her experiences at numerous education-al and fundraising events.

Sarah is also actively involved in advocating to governments for en-hancements in diabetes funding and care.

Sarah is presently completing an Agricul-ture degree at the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan College of Agriculture and Bioresources in Saskatoon, and intends to pursue a degree in Veterinary Medicine. She is the daughter of Sally and David Struthers of Cranbrook, BC.

Sarah Struthers of Cranbrook was recently recognized by the Canadian Diabetes Association as their 2014 National Young Volunteer.

“This mosaic will act as this catalyst, this beautiful portrait of who we are to bring us together to reflect upon what’s important.”

Van Horn — yes, a distant relative of the same William Van Horne, despite the dif-ference in spelling — was inspired by his childhood experiences of growing up in the military and being con-stantly on the move. Growing up, he’d see photos in National Geographic and he wanted to be a camera-man and go on exotic adventures.

“I’ve taken my sense of duty and married it to my artistic and my humanitarian streak and feel like I need to do something good in my country, to bring something back to the people and say, ‘Here, this is what I’ve contrib-uted and this is what we are’,” Van Horn said.

“This is my creative tour of duty.”

Van Horn spent Tuesday, March 31, in Cranbrook photo-graphing subjects on Baker Street before heading up to Kimber-ley, Invermere and

Golden. He’ll spend the next three months in B.C. before heading up to the Yukon and down into the prairies before ending up in Ontario for the fall federal elec-tion.

When he gets to a new community, some-times it’s as simple as going to a busy inter-section to ask passersby if he can take their por-trait.

“With each person I photograph, it instills the need to do this and it gets stronger and stronger and I see all these characters and cast of characters com-ing together and com-pleting this story,” Van Horn said.

To date, he’s photo-graphed 40,000 Canadi-ans.

His vision is to tour the country once again in 2017 with a bus that will encompass his en-tire project.

“In 2017, I will set out across the land with a bus that’s completely high-tech and multi-media and it will go across the country for a whole year and stop at your kid’s school, you’ll see it on main street and it will

Submit tedResidents are being

asked to step up and help the City of Cran-brook stop the deliber-ate feeding of deer in-side the municipality.

“Deliberate feeding of the deer is just one piece of the puzzle around urban deer and part of the reason we have the deer issues we do,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communica-tions Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “This is the easiest thing we, as a community can do to try to minimize these problems – by simply not feeding them.”

The bylaw states no one is to provide deer with food by intention-

ally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edible material for the sole purpose of feeding deer.

For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other com-postable food scraps on any property where these items are not con-sistently being grown or produced for human consumption would be a violation of the Bylaw.

Home fruit and vege-table gardens intended for human consump-tion or ornamental plants and flowers will not be included as ma-terial intended for the sole purpose of feeding deer under the deer feeding bylaw.

For more informa-tion or to report a loca-tion where deliberate deer feeding is happen-ing, please call Bylaw Services at 250-489-9598. The City cannot act on anonymous com-plaints as evidence is required if the offender is to be fined.

Public must take larger role in enforcement of the deer feeding

bylaw, City says

“Like so many of our bylaws, enforcement is done on a complaint driven basis,” says Zettel. “We don’t have the ability to patrol the City looking for infrac-tions around the deer feeding bylaw. We need residents to let us know if deliberate feeding of deer is happening and where.

“You will have to pro-vide our staff your name and phone number, so our bylaw officers can contact you should more information be needed.”

Anyone found violat-ing the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw will be committing an of-fence and can be fined on an escalating fine schedule; $ 100 for the first offence, $200 for the second, $500 for the third. Each day a viola-tion occurs constitutes a

“We’re going to hope, and continue to hope, that he’ll be found alive until evidence leads us to no longer have that hope,” Glavin said Sunday.

Glavin said the witness last month told police that two men were beating a third man outside of a vehicle that was parked on Highway 1 near Cochrane. The witness said all three men then took off in the vehicle.

Glavin said the suspects were arrested in Cranbrook without incident.

The Dodge Charger has been secured for forensic examina-tion.

Lush, who is from the Calgary area, is not known to police, Glavin said. Police are asking for the public’s help to find him.

Lush is Caucasian, five-feet-two-inches tall, 140 pounds, with

brown eyes, brown hair and nu-merous tattoos. He was last seen wearing a black “Sons of Anar-chy” T-shirt, a green camouflage spring jacket, blue jeans, and black DC running shoes.

First degree murder charges

have been laid against Cody Ken-neth Bauer, 24, of Calgary and Kristopher Goerzen, 22, of Brooks.

“Because sufficient evidence exists that there was a premedi-tated plan ... to cause the death of Mr. Lush,” said Insp. Gibson Glavin.

Court documents reveal that Lush had several prior criminal convictions, including drug pos-session, assault with a weapon and carrying a concealed weap-on.

Goerzen is set to appear in Cochrane provincial court on April 14 and Bauer will be in court on April 21.

Bauer has prior convictions for possession of stolen property and causing a disturbance. Goer-zen has no prior convictions in Alberta.

On Sunday, April 5 an explosion at Green-hills mine near Elkford occurred sending three to hospital with burns.

The explosion oc-curred Sunday morning at approximately 11 a.m. STARS was dis-patched to the scene at 11:26 a.m.

According to David Haslam, Communica-tions Coordinator with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the explo-sion happened in the coal drying operation of the mine.

The employees were not believed to be in-side at the time, but were located outside of the room at the time of

the blast.Haslam described

the incident as a “flash fire.”

Spokesperson for B.C. Ambulance Libby Brown said the three in-jured, two men and one woman, were initially being treated for sec-ond- and third-degree burns.

One of the injured

was sent to Fernie Hos-pital for treatment and at least one of the oth-ers has been transferred to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.

Haslam said that Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman is currently investigating the incident.

“He and two other mine inspectors are on route to the mine site,” said Haslam. “We will provide more informa-tion as it becomes avail-able.”

Teck has made a statement that no major impact to the operation has been made due to the flash fire.

The cause of the ex-plosion is not yet known.

The Teck-owned mine is eight kilometres northeast of Elkford. A previous explosion at Greenhills in June 2010 resulted in four em-ployees being treated for smoke inhalation. The cause was a dryer exploding and caused extensive damage to the building and result-ed in a temporary clo-sure.

Man killed in ski accident at Fernie Alpine Resort

A skiing accident on Thursday, April 2 at Fernie Alpine Resort has taken the life of Edmon-ton architect Tom Sutherland.

Sutherland’s em-ployer Dialog took to their website to an-nounce his sudden

For the townSmanNext up in the spring

concert series “Live at Studio 64” on April 21 is the incredible blues-man/raconteur, Guy Davis. This solo perfor-mance by one of North America’s blues greats is not to be missed.

Davis is a guitarist, banjo player and actor, born in New York in 1952 to actors Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. A self-taught guitarist, he learned by observing other musicians and, so the legend goes, from a 9-fingered finger-pick-ing guitarist he once met on a train. The 5-stringed banjo he learned at a summer camp from Pete Seeger’s brother.

Although he grew up in New York, Davis

Bluesman Guy Davis comes to Studio 64

Guy Davis

heard stories about life in the southern states from his grandparents and these stories in-spired his interest in the blues.

He has performed as

an actor in films and on stage, including the leading role in the 1984 film Beat Street and the Broadway musical Mulebone which fea-tured the music of Taj

Mahal. He has written award-winning plays and short stories as well as musical scores for film and television.

Guy Davis has made 16 notable albums since

1978. Stomp Down Rider, recorded at a live performance in 1995, topped charts all across the States. His next album, Call Down the Thunder in 1996, was also names a Top Ten album of the year. The accolades continued, including Blues Album of the Year (1998) for You Don’t Know My Mind, and the W.C. Handy award for Best Acoustic Blues Album (2003) for Chocolate to the Bone.

He has garnered many other awards, too many to mention here, as well as much critical acclaim. Said critic Charles Young in a Play-boy review of You Don’t Know My Mind, “Davis reminds you that blues started as dance music. This is blues made for humming along, stomp-ing your foot, feeling

righteous in the face of oppression and express-ing gratitude to your baby for greasing your skillet.”

More recently, along with Warren Beatty, Elton John, and com-poser John Williams, Davis was awarded a medal by the President of the United States at the Kennedy Centre Awards.

So what is this world famous musician who has appeared on the cover of international music magazines doing in Kimberley? Well, this April Guy Davis is on a solo tour of BC and Al-berta, ending up in the Territories, a tour that includes Kimberley and Fernie.

The Kimberley per-formance is the second in the ‘Live at Studio 64’ spring concert series which kicked off March

21st with the sold out Lovebullies concert. Ad-vance tickets for Guy Davis are selling fast so get yours soon. They are $22 KAC-C64 members, $24 non-members, and can be purchased on-line at snapd.eastkoote-nay.com or at Centre 64 (250-427-4919 or [email protected]). Advance ticket holders can receive a 10% dis-count at five participat-ing Kimberley restau-rants on the night of the show. The restaurants are named on the tick-ets. If the show is not sold out tickets at the door are $26.

“T his (Arab) nation, in its darkest hour, has never faced a chal-lenge to its existence and a

threat to its identity like the one it’s facing now,” said General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, now the ruler of Egypt.

And you wanted to say: Not the Cru-sades? Not the Mongol invasion? Not even the European conquest of the entire Arab world between 1830 and 1920? You really think the gravest threat ever to Arab exis-tence and identity is a bunch of tribal war-riors in Yemen?

Sisi was addressing the Arab League summit in Cairo last week that created a new pan-Arab military force to confront this threat, so overheated rhetoric was standard issue, but still.... The air forces of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbours are blasting Yemen from the air, and there is talk of Saudi Arabi-an, Egyptian and even Paki-stani troops invading on the ground, but it all smells more of panic than of strategic calculation.

The panic is due to the fact that the sta-tus quo that has prevailed in the Middle East since approximately 1980 is at an end. Iran is back, and there is great dismay in the palaces of Riyadh — especially be-cause it was Saudi Arabia’s great friend and ally, the United States, who finally set Iran free.

It was the agreement in Lausanne last Thursday between Iran and the group of 5+1 (the United States, Russia, China, Brit-ain, France and Germany) that marked the end of the status quo. It was about ending the various trade embargoes against Iran in return for ten to fifteen years of strict controls on Iran’s nuclear power pro-gramme, but it will also let Iran out of the jail it has been confined to since the 1979 revolution.

Initially that revolution was quite scary for Iran’s Arab neighbours, because Iran’s example in overthrowing the local pro-Western ruler and taking a stronger stand against Israel was very popular in the Arab street. The solution was to paint Iran as a crazy terrorist state and isolate it as much as possible from the rest of the re-gion.

The other tactic that the conservative Arab states deployed was to stress the reli-gious gulf between Iran (which is 90 per cent Shia) and the Arab countries (whose people are at least 85 per cent Sunni). The doctrinal differences are real, but they do

not normally make ordi-nary people see one anoth-er as natural enemies un-less somebody (like state propaganda) works hard at it.

Those measures worked for twenty years, assisted by some really stupid Irani-

an actions like holding US embassy per-sonnel hostage for 444 days, but by the end of the 20th century they were losing credi-bility. What saved the “quarantine” policy in 2002 was the discovery that Tehran had been working on nuclear weapons design.

The work was a revival of research that had been started during the US-backed Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980-88 (when Saddam Hussein certainly was working on nuclear weapons), and was shut down af-terwards. It was restarted in 1998, almost certainly in response to the nuclear weap-ons tests by Pakistan, Iran’s eastern neigh-bour. It was Iran being stupid again, but it was probably never about Israel.

The alleged Iranian nuclear threat pro-vided the basis for another decade and more of political quarantine and trade embargoes that have crippled Iran eco-nomically and isolated it politically. All that came to a sudden end last week with

the agreement in principle in Lausanne (unless the Saudi Arabian and Israeli lob-bies in Washington manage to torpedo the deal in the next few months).

Iran has about the same population and GDP as Egypt, the biggest Arab coun-try by far, but it is far closer both to the Arab Gulf states and to the Sunni-Shia battle-grounds in Iraq and Syria (both of whose governments are closely linked to Tehran). That’s what Sisi was really talking about when he spoke of an existential threat to Arab existence and identity. However, he’s still talking through his hat.

Arab existence and identity are no-where at risk, and Iran has no need to paint the Sunni Arab countries as enemies. The Iranian regime may be losing its support among the young (or maybe not), but it has absolutely no need to inoculate them against the attraction of Arab political sys-tems and foreign policies by promoting an Arab-Iranian confrontation. They hold no attraction whatever for young Iranians.

As for the notion that the Houthi militia that now controls most of Yemen is really an Iranian tool (which is the main justifica-tion for the military intervention there), it is nonsense. The Houthis, like the Iranians, are Shias, but they have their own local in-terests to protect, and Iran has no plausible reason to want some sort of strategic foot-hold in Yemen. It is a safe bet that there is not now even a single armed Iranian in Yemen.

If the United States could send troops into Iraq in 2003 in the delusionary belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, then Saudi Arabia can believe that it is fighting Iranians in Yemen now. No country has a monopoly on stu-pidity, and Riyadh will probably have ample opportunity to regret its mistake.

Letters to the editorBill C-51

The Don McCormick I know wouldn’t stand for the following:

The government’s secret police Bill C-51 is reckless, dangerous, and ineffec-tive.

The bill is reckless because it turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability.

The bill is dangerous because it opens the door for violations of our Charter Rights including censorship of free ex-pression online.

The bill is ineffective because it will lead to dragnet surveillance and informa-tion sharing on innocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted is inef-fective.

To make matters worse the govern-ment is trying to push this law through parliament in record time.

The fact is, Stephen Harper’s Secret Police Bill C-51 will harm our democracy by putting law-abiding Canadians under the government’s microscope.

If the bill passes, your sensitive private information would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments. This includes sensitive information that can reveal everything from your financial sta-tus, to your medical history, your sexual orientation, and even your religious and political beliefs.

Victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be informed — that means the government could spy on anyone, at anytime, and we wouldn’t even know when we’ve been a victim.

Do we really want the government to create a shadowy and unaccountable se-cret police force that will trample on inno-cent citizens’ freedoms?

These new spying powers are highly unpopular: 71 per cent of Canadians don’t want to trade their privacy rights to give spy agencies more power. Over 80,000 people have already spoken out.

I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to stop Secret Police Bill C-51 at: StopC51.ca

Cranbrook Fire HallDear Mayor and Council,I write to you in support of the Cran-

brook and District Arts Council’s endeav-our to repurpose the former Cranbrook Fire Hall as a gallery, workshop and meet-ing place. As such, I stand beside the Arts Council in opposing the sale of the Fire Hall.

An avid and frequent traveller, I judge the quality of a city by its cultural heart-beat. Art galleries, museums, theatres and open spaces such as parks and courtyards are the signposts of that heartbeat. Cran-brook is fortunate to house many fine and talented artists, but without a viable space to gather, learn and present work, growth of that talent is at stake. The downtown core of any city is where travellers expect to find artistic hubs. The heritage, aesthet-

ic and location of the Cranbrook Fire Hall makes it the ideal choice for such a centre and offers an obvious magnet for com-merce such as restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and local shopping.

As a long-time arts educator and par-ent of two school-aged children, I am passionate about the positive and neces-sary impact that a vibrant arts scene has on children and families. Cranbrook needs the Fire Hall as an arts space to help its children and youth carve an identity for themselves with not only art to surround them, but a place to belong.

It’s been said that the marker of a dying civilization is the erosion of its culture. The acquisition of the Fire Hall for the CDAC is a critical step in making Cran-brook a great city. Please see that it hap-pens.

Thank you for you consideration of this important matter.

Mary HamiltonCranbrook

Cranbrook Fire hallOur Cranbrook “Group of Seven” is

beginning to paint a grim picture of the future of our Fire Hall #1. In recent Coun-cil meetings it would seem that some of our present Council, and city staff, are firmly committed to sell this building. It appears the time is now for Cranbrook citizens to become involved in this mo-mentous decision in determining the fate of OUR heritage building.

In 1929 the new Council, under the leadership of Mayor Roberts, broached the subject of the need for a new fire hall. By early March Council had decided to draw up a by-law to raise $31,000, by the sale of debentures, to build the fire hall and to submit the question to the ratepay-ers for their approval.

Complete details of the By-Law No. 388 were printed in the March 14 Cranbrook Courier. Cranbrook citizens were given the opportunity to vote, by ballot, to ac-cept this By-law on March 25. The vote carried with a resounding 90 per cent in favour of borrowing the funds. Cranbrook could now have a fire hall worthy of the growing community. Council enjoyed the confidence of the ratepayers.

The design was by City Superintendent Philpot and the City Works Department, plans drawn up by Colborne, a Cranbrook businessman, and local builder Jones won the construction bid using locally pro-cessed lumber and Cranbrook bricks.

The Cranbrook Courier of November 11, 1929 proudly displayed a photo of the new fire hall labelling it “The Lasting Structure”. Since then the paper frequently reported on Cranbrook’s fire hall, the fire-men, and their adjoining gardens. It be-came a place people were encouraged to visit. Through the ensuing years Councils had the foresight to purchase the proper-ties belonging to MacPherson’s Funeral Home, the Baptist Church, the Knights of Pythias building, the Masonic Hall and a small home that was preventing the City owning a continuous frontage on 11th Avenue.  How fortunate our City Fathers of

the day had this foresight as it allowed our City Hall to be expanded, a small park to be developed, parking for the firemen and lots on which to build our Police Station. In 1986 the Fire Hall gained the protection of Heritage Designation.

So now the time appears to have come for our present City Council to decide what should happen to our building.  I have not heard any mention of coming back to the public for our thoughts on this. The citizens of Cranbrook voted to borrow the money to build our civic building. Even if the present Council does not legal-ly have to reengage the public, and gain its input, surely our present Council must morally feel that it’s the right thing to do?

So please Council, don’t be too ready to break up the area of OUR city-owned properties or to dispose of one of OUR few taxpayer-owned heritage buildings.

LocomotiveIt was so nice to see the article by Dan

Schellenberg (and great colour photo) in the April 2 Daily Townsman about the CP Rail locomotive Paint the Train Project. Especially nice to see specific mention of who deserves the credit which allowed me to write the following Letter to the Editor for your consideration.

Congratulations to Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary, Kim Wasylowich of Riemann Painting and all the volunteers who worked on the painting of the CP Rail lo-comotive.

After moving to Cranbrook 11 years ago I often wondered when the project would be completed, from what era the locomo-tive hailed and what would be the eventu-al colours and logo on the locomotive. CP Rail had many different colour schemes and logos for their locomotives over the years. The beautiful paint job and excel-lent location of the locomotive grab my attention every time I pass that way.

My sincere thanks and congratulations on a great  job.

Allister PedersenCranbrook

Fa-2 4090, FB-2 4469I found Dan Schellenberg’s story on the

restoration of the old Locomotive 4090 very interesting. I have always been inter-ested in the local history and how things come about.

I was the lead fabricator and welder through Fabrite Services Ltd. that com-pleted the steel work on this project. I spent approximately 300 hours working on this project, so I am quite familiar with these two locomotives on the inside and out. As Mr. Schellenberger’s article states the Alco FA-2 4090 is a locomotive but the FB-2 4469 is not a passenger coach, it is a locomotive as well.

Hitmen dominate Game 7, crush Ice 6-2Tre Vor Cr Awley

Townsman Staff

After losing two straight games, the Cal-gary Hitmen looked de-termined to halt the slide and save their sea-son.

They did it in dra-matic fashion, beating the Kootenay Ice 6-2 in Game 7 at the Scotia-bank Saddledome on Monday evening.

Connor Rankin was the hero of the game, scoring a natural hat trick in the first period to give Calgary a com-manding early lead. Chase Lang, Radel Fa-zleev and Kenton Helgesen added further scoring for the Hitmen squad.

The dynamic duo of Sam Reinhart and Jae-don Descheneau re-plied for the Ice.

Ice netminder Wyatt Hoflin was shelled in goal, facing 35 shots for 29 saves. Mack Shields went the distance for the Hitmen, turning away all of 11 shots.

Calgary handily won the special teams battle, scoring one powerplay goal in three opportuni-ties with the man-ad-vantage, while killing two of Kootenay only chances with the extra man.

It was a tough start for the Kootenay squad, as Rankin got his first goal 1:12 into the game.

While Calgary didn’t add to their lead till later in the frame, they car-ried much of the play in the Kootenay zone. In-deed, the Hitmen gave up only one shot on goal all period.

Rankin’s second goal came on the powerplay

when he snapped a shot from the top of the face-off circle at the 17:34 mark.

Ninety seconds later, hats rained down onto the ice as Rankin scored again, coming in off the sidewall and beating Hoflin stick side.

The second period started off much the same as the first, with the Hitmen carrying most of the play.

Five minutes into the frame, Chase Lang was rewarded for driving the net, tapping home a cross-ice feed from Helgesen at the side-wall.

After robbing Troy Murray from the point, Shields eventually had a puck go by him on a de-flection from Sam Rein-hart, who tipped a shot from Cale Fleury at the blue line.

By the second half of the period, Kootenay was able to get some sustained pressure on Calgary, but quality chances were few and far between.

Calgary continued to pile on in the third peri-od, adding to their three goal lead when Fazleev took advantage of a turnover and beat Hof-lin.

However, the Ice ral-lied not even 30 seconds later, as Descheneau stole the puck in the Hit-men defensive zone and wristed a shot past Shields.

However, it was too much too late, and as Kootenay played some desperate hockey late in the game, Helgesen stole the puck at the Cal-gary blueline and went in on a two-on-none

rush with Jake Virtanen. Helgesen finished

his own tic-tac-toe play with Virtanen to seal up the final at 6-2.

It was a tough way to go for the Ice, which had earlier won 4-2 on Sat-urday night in Game 6 and 5-4 in overtime in Game 5 on Friday.

After being down 3-1 in the series, those two wins forced a seventh deciding game.

The Hitmen will now move on to face the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

MISSION, B.C. — A long and winding road has come to a bitter-sweet end for the Kim-berley Dynamiters as the Campbell River Storm claimed the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup championship with a 6-5 victory Monday af-ternoon at the Mission Leisure Centre.

Through 82 total games (including exhi-bition, regular season, playoffs and Cyclone Taylor Cup play) the Kimberley Dynamiters battled tooth and nail to claim a KIJHL champi-onship before finishing second at the annual B.C. Junior B champion-ship.

“This is one of the best groups of athletes I’ve ever worked with, best group of people I’ve ever worked with,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “I’m so ex-tremely proud of them. We filled our room with character … and charac-ter darn near pulled it off, against all odds.

“I will remember this group as being a great group of people. That’s what I will remember. There’s a great lesson in life — surround yourself with good people and good things flow from there. Right from the as-sistant coaches to all the people who volunteer their time, it’s been a wonderful experience for me.

“A lot of these guys learned to be hockey men.”

Defenceman Trevor Bottomley scored the game-winning goal on a third-period power play and dangerous Dane Feeney was named player of the game for the Campbell River Storm.

Dynamiters captain Jason Richter was named the tourna-ment’s Most Outstand-ing Player, while goal-tender Tyson Brouwer was named the Tourna-ment’s Most Inspira-tional Player.

“It’s been an unreal year,” Richter said. “Guys have grown throughout the year. We’ve had our ups and downs for sure.

“This is definitely the tightest team I’ve ever been with. We’ve gone through so much to-gether. It’s been an un-real year. Obviously not

Nitros’ glorious season ends in Cyclone Taylor final

the way we wanted to end it off, but I have no regrets. Neither does the team.

“They’re all brothers to me. I can trust them with anything … We have the tightest group of kids out of any team in the league, out of any team ever … Everyone loves each other. After the game, we’re in the room hugging each other and we’ve got guys crying. Everyone’s cry-ing. But we still have guys trying to pick each other up just because we have that love. We have that family mental-ity. We’ll have that brotherhood through-out life.”

The Storm opened the scoring 5:45 into the first period of the Cy-clone Taylor Cup final as defenceman Nathan Browne sent a pow-er-play point shot past Brouwer for a 1-0 lead.

Midway through the period, the Dynamiters drew even.

Alex Rosolowsky car-ried in over the Storm blueline before dishing to Jordan Roy down the left side. The 16-year-old Roy fired a harmless looking shot towards Storm goaltender Jesse Michel, and somehow, the puck found a way through to the back of the net.

The see-saw contest continued in the second period with Storm affili-

ate player Dawson Frank restoring the Campbell River lead midway through.

All it took was 2:11 before the KIJHL cham-pions struck back.

With the Storm on the power play, Califor-nia native Keenan Haase forced a turnover at the Dynamiters blue-line. Jason Richter cor-ralled the loose puck, bursting down the left wing into enemy territo-ry before firing on net. A rebound came to Haase who managed to tuck it past Michel to tie the game 2-2.

Before the second period came to a close, Feeney restored the Storm lead taking a pass in tight to Brouwer’s crease before sending a quick shot to the top shelf.

Less than five min-utes into the third peri-od, the Storm extended the lead to two goals as Trent Johnson wheeled down the left wing be-fore picking a tiny hole high short side on Brou-wer.

With Will McNamara serving a two-minute minor for tripping, the Dynamiters took advan-tage as Roy returned an earlier favour, dishing to Rosolowsky on the backdoor to pull the Ni-tros within one.

A mere 29 seconds was all it took for the Storm to restore the

two-goal edge as Mi-chael Olson sent a back-hand shot to the top cor-ner for a 5-3 Campbell River lead.

With less than 10 minutes to go, Nitros defenceman Justin Meier shook the Mis-sion Leisure Centre, and Storm forward Gavin Rauser, with a jarring hit at centre ice.

Rauser stayed down as Meier was handed a five-minute major and game misconduct for checking to the head.

On the ensuing power play, Bottomley tallied the game-win-ning marker with a long point shot.

The Storm looked comfortable with a 6-3 lead, but this game was far from over.

“We knew we had to keep going,” Richter said.

“Just keep going, boys. That’s pretty much all that was said.”

With 2:20 remaining on the clock and Brouw-er at the bench for the extra attacker the Dyna-miters kept going as Jared Marchi sent a backdoor feed onto the tape of Richter, who converted on the play to make it a 6-4 game.

With time ticking down, Jordan Busch sent a seeing-eye point shot towards Michel and found the back of the net to make it a 6-5 game with 45 seconds to

play.“That explains us in a

nutshell,” Bancks said. “Nobody quit. Nobody gave up. I always call us a resilient group. When you stop to think about the amount of hockey we’ve had to play in the last 46 days, it’s pretty incredible to do what we did.

“I am so proud of this group. And I’m so proud of the KIJHL.

“Creston played us one-goal game after one-goal game. Fernie — everybody probably predicted them to be playing Osoyoos [in the KIJHL final] — so you know how good they were with great goalten-ding. Then we get Bea-ver Valley who hit us hard and finished every check. We got through them and then we got to go to Kamloops where they were big and fast. It’s a pretty amazing run. A pretty incredible run, to be honest. To get within one goal here and everything else is pretty amazing. You don’t do it without char-acter.”

To be precise, the Dynamiters played a whopping 26 games in 46 days from the time the post-season opened (Feb. 20 vs. Creston) to the sound of the very final buzzer Monday af-ternoon in Mission.

For comparison’s sake, the Campbell

River Storm battled through 17 post-season games in 59 days since their playoff run began Feb. 6 against the Oceanside Generals.

But that was as much as the Nitros were able to muster, as the Storm held out through a tense final 45 seconds to claim the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup.

“It’s surreal. These kids deserve everything they get. They’re the hardest-working kids,” said Lee Stone, head coach and general man-ager of the Campbell River Storm. “They show up at the rink every day, they’re in the gym four times a week. I’m speechless. These kids are amazing. These kids are going to be a part of my life for the rest of my life. It’s spe-cial.

“It’s an electric feel-ing, for sure.

“You have to give kudos to the Dynamit-ers. They’re such an un-believable hockey club. To win the KIJHL cham-pionship and to come here and still be able to compete the way they did after playing as many games as they did — kudos to Jerry Bancks and those boys. They’re an exceptional hockey club.

“I think [Bancks] said it best in the handshake, ‘These are the two best teams in Junior B.’ And

that’s the way it should be.”

Michel made 20 saves for his third win of the tournament, while Brouwer turned aside 16 Campbell River shots.

The Dynamiters fin-ished the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup with a 2-2 record, their only two losses coming against the Campbell River Storm.

The Nitros topped the Mission City Out-laws 2-1 before defeat-ing the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 5-4 in double overtime.

For the Kimberley Dynamiters, their sea-son comes to a close after bringing home Kimberley’s first KIJHL championship since the Kimberley Knights won it all in 1980.

For the Campbell River Storm, they carry on to the Keystone Cup — Western Canada’s Ju-nior B championship — April 16 to 19 in Cold Lake, Alta.

Notes: Both the Dy-namiters and Storm went without key pieces Monday, as Kimberley F Coy Prevost and Camp-bell River F Reece Costain were suspend-ed…The host Mission City Outlaws defeated the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 7-0 earlier Monday to claim the bronze medal…

VANCOUVER - Blue bird days on the ski slopes and expeditions to rivers frothing with spawning salmon could be among the quintes-sential British Columbia pastimes that vanish in the next century if the province’s glaciers maintain their melt.

Results of a 3D com-puter simulation reveal in more detail than ever before the magnitude of glacial thawing due to climate change. The study was published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

It confirms and goes one step further than previous projections on glacial melt, holding up a magnifying glass to specific geography in Western Canada and spurs scientific theoriz-ing about potential lo-calized impacts.

Researchers antici-pate that by 2100, disap-pearing glaciers may alter how much water is delivered to salm-on-spawning beds in the B.C. Interior, and similarly dry up corpo-rate visions of future ski resorts, said study co-author Garry Clarke.

A near total loss of glacial ice is expected to be concentrated in the Rocky Mountains, said Clarke, professor emeri-tus with the University of British Columbia.

“People driving into Banff or Jasper parks will be hard pressed to see glaciers in the land-scape by the time this is played out,” he said.

Similar disappear-ance rates are expected in B.C.’s southeastern Columbia Mountains. But the southern coast mountains may fare better than previously expected, mostly spar-ing the visually stunning Mount Garibaldi, north of Squamish.

Ice caps in B.C.’s northwest, close to the Alaska and Yukon bor-ders, should also sur-vive.

Researchers spent nearly a decade coding and embedding influ-ential factors into the

simulation, amounting to high-resolution rep-resentations of the gla-cial degradation in B.C. and Alberta over the years, said Clarke.

While the entire re-gion currently sustains 3,000 cubic kilometres of ice, that’s projected to degrade between 60 to 80 per cent using the simulation, which charts four possible courses based on stan-dard future climate change scenarios.

The study projects the maximum rate of ice volume retreat to occur between 2020 and 2040.

Earlier forecasts using less sophisticated calculus predicted the glacial mass loss would be lower.

“This is not a trivial amount,” Clarke said. “This is in the world-league in terms of how many glaciers we have in our mountains and what the losses will be.”

He said the big un-known is human be-haviour - how rapidly the glaciers flow eter-nally into the ocean de-pends on carbon diox-ide and greenhouse gas additions to the atmo-sphere.

It’s a “one-way trip” if melt rates worsen or even continue along the current trajectory, he said. But the simulator also showed unexpect-edly positive outcomes where some glaciers could outlast the predic-tion if climate change stabilizes, he added.

The team included factors such as the strength of the Earth’s gravity field, the melting temperature of ice, and accounted for precipita-tion falling as snow or rain depending on ele-vation.

But Clarke noted that in some ways, the melt isn’t as dire in Canada because the glacial water doesn’t sustain huge populations.

He’s hoping the sim-ulator will be adopted by glacier experts in Asia and South Ameri-ca, where people’s liveli-hoods depend on access to water.

Canada’s aboriginal land claims resolution system has turned into an employment pro-gram for some of those involved, with “a con-spicuous lack of urgen-cy in negotiations” and little common ground after 10 or more years at most treaty tables.

That’s one conclu-sion from federal advi-sor Doug Eyford, who spent six months con-sulting on the state of treaty-making across Canada since aborigi-nal title was protected in Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The report focuses heavily on B.C., which has 54 active treaty ta-bles and only four agreements in the 22 years of the federal-ly-financed B.C. Treaty Commission. Parts of Quebec, Labrador, On-tario, the north and most of B.C. never completed early trea-ties that extinguished aboriginal title and made way for settle-ment and develop-ment in the rest of Can-

ada.“At the current pace,

treaty-making may continue for the rest of this century,” Eyford wrote.

Eyford presented his report last week to Bernard Valcourt, Min-ister of Aboriginal Af-fairs and Northern De-velopment. With a fed-eral election set for this fall, Valcourt said the months to come will require more discus-sions with provinces and First Nations on Eyford’s recommenda-tions for a “new direc-tion” in settling histor-ic disputes.

The report’s release comes a week after the B.C. government can-celled the appoint-ment of former cabinet minister George Ab-bott to head the B.C. Treaty Commission. Premier Christy Clark said there isn’t enough to show for more than $600 million, most of it debt accumulated by B.C. First Nations. Clark questioned whether the B.C. Trea-ty Commission should continue, since more

Ottawa seeks new aboriginal claims system

B.C. First Nations re-main outside the talks than inside.

Scott Fraser, aborigi-nal relations critic for the B.C. NDP, accused Clark of acting unilater-ally to disrupt the exist-ing system.

The First Nations Summit, which rep-resents B.C.’s participat-ing aboriginal commu-nities, issued a state-ment saying despite the

“confusion” over Ab-bott’s appointment, the B.C. Treaty Commission “remains active and will continue into the fu-ture.”

Chief Maureen Chapman, B.C. spokes-person for the national Assembly of First Na-tions, said Eyford’s rec-ommendations point to a new federal system, not tinkering with the status quo.

“After numerous court victories by our peoples and the failure of the current trea-ty-making process in B.C. to deliver signifi-cant results, Canada must move away from a policy of First Nations making claims to the Crown by fulling em-bracing the need for real recognition fol-lowed by true reconcili-ation,” Chapman said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel awkward dis-cussing a financial matter, espe-cially with a key associate. Per-haps your ideas for investments and lifestyle adjustments could be very different. Postpone the talk until later, when both of you are more relaxed. Tonight: Chat over dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might need to defer to someone else in order to go af-ter what you want. You could be very excited about an upcoming get-together with a loved one. Understand that containing your good mood might be close to impossible. Tonight: Say “yes” to an unusual offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you need to close the door in order to accomplish what is needed, do so. You like to socialize a little too much, and self-imposed distance might be necessary at times. A loved one or dear friend seeks you out, as he or she wants your company! Tonight: Make it early.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have an amazingly child-like side that tends to emerge when dealing with authority figures. You might want to rebel, but resist the urge. Look at the situation through adult eyes. Focus on getting what you want. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes opting to stay home instead of joining others or going to work is a smart move. You also might have to handle a matter involving a potential trip. You will feel better once you do, though it could cause you to re-arrange your schedule. Tonight: Nap, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will say what is on your mind. Be careful, as the receiver of your words is likely to misin-terpret what you say. This person could turn your statement into what he or she wants to hear. Take a stand if you feel that the interpretation poses a problem. Tonight: Out and about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your possessive side emerges,

which could cause some dis-comfort for a close friend. Be aware that you won’t be able to satisfy this need to take control. Build your self-image, and be less uptight. Listen well when someone discusses a money matter. Tonight: Go to extremes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be the source of your own problems because of your need to be right. You might note someone’s discomfort at your response to justify this behav-ior. Communicate your needs in a less rigid way. Tonight: Use your imagination when making plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be prepared to let your feel-ings flow, and don’t hold back. Whether you choose to share them is a separate issue. You might see changes occur in a most unexpected way. A child or loved one could be the driving force here. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be focused on a project that you are determined to have play out a certain way.

Be more forthright with your intentions. You might discover that there are many routes to the same point. Trust yourself to make the correct choice. To-night: Follow a friend’s lead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take charge of a situation, as you will know what to do. You could discover a piece of infor-mation that forces you to rethink a judgment. Don’t pull yourself too far away from a loved one; this person appreciates your presence more than you know. Tonight: On top of your game. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination allows you to distance yourself in order find a viable solution. You could be in a difficult situation without being able to control what is happen-ing. Detach, and you will be OK. Try to understand how each person involved feels. Tonight: Make it your choice.

Dear Annie: I recently saw the results of a survey that said the more work men do around the house the less sex they get. I have seen many comments in your column from women who stated the opposite -- that if a man did more around the house, he might “get more” in the bedroom. I have always helped out with cooking, mopping floors, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc., and never once did I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me. I mentioned it to my wife, who said, “Sorry.” So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another woman’s answer was “maybe, maybe not.” So what’s up with the conflicting statements? Should I not help out as much? -- Confused Husband Dear Confused: Cute. No. Like it or not, the amount you help around the house should not be tied to how much sex you get. You should help because it’s the right thing to do, and, as a partner in a relationship, you should do your share. If it also makes your partner feel appreciative and less exhausted, that often translates to more sex. But there are so many factors that go into the desire for intimacy that you’d have to discuss it more thoroughly with your wife to find out what she needs and wants from you that will make her feel desirable and interested. We can guarantee you, though, that if you watch TV while she does all the housework, there is likely to be no sex at all. Dear Annie: “Tired and Disgusted Other Half” wrote an open letter to her husband, who thought it was funny to criticize her in front of their children and friends. I was married to a man who became increasingly verbally abusive over the years. The last eight years of our marriage were horrible. He put me down in front of our employees and demeaned me about everything from my minor weight gain to my housekeeping and cooking. Then he said his abuse was my fault. I became totally uninterested in him physically, which made him even angrier. Two therapists told him this was verbal abuse, but he would not listen. We were together for 41 years. He never thought I would have the courage to leave. But two years ago, at age 60, I decided that the thought of spending another 20 years being treated this way was more terrifying than the idea of living on my own. I left my home and business and lost my financial security. But two years later, I am doing well. It has not been easy, but I get up every morning and am able to look in the mirror with self-respect. -- Life Is Good Dear Life: It sounds as though you did everything you could to save your marriage, and unfortunately, your husband wasn’t willing to do the same. You needed to save yourself, and we are glad your decision to leave worked out so well. If any of our readers feel they are being verbally abused, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE.

Joan Elizabeth BeduzJuly 3, 1934 -

March 29, 2015Joan – wife, mother, daughter and sister – lived life well. She was born in Washington State and grew up in the Deer Lodge Valley, Montana. Joan met her husband Roy in Montana and from there settled in Yellowknife, NWT. For 24 years they raised their family – Judi (husband Terry) and

Brian (wife Lorraine) – adapting to the isolation that Roy’s career took her. Joan’s final years were spent in Kimberley, BC where she and Roy retired. She requested that those who mourn her passing do so quietly and in their own way.

A private family gathering will be held later in the year and internment will take place in the Kimberley Cemetery.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

www.mcphersonfh.com

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

John Harvey Van Steinburg died April 2. He was 71 years old. John is survived by his sons Sean (Scott and Robyn) and Louis, his brother Clark and sister Lorraine. He was recently predeceased by Sean’s mother Joan and is survived by Louis’ mother, Sandra Smaill.

John joined the Canadian Army is his late teens as an officer cadet. He served his country in Canada, Germany and peacekeeping missions including Cyprus and Egypt. He resigned from the army as a Captain after 15 years of service in order to enter the University of Ottawa Law School. After graduation he relocated to Kimberley where he practiced law for many years until ill health forced his retirement.

John was a man who was interested in everything. He was a gifted, amateur chef who loved to cook for family and friends. He couldn’t wait for spring to get his garden growing. He loved debating political issues usually taking a Conservative position but could as easily take the opposite position to keep the debate going. Kimberley City Council occupied his Monday nights for a term. He was also a past Master of the local Masonic Lodge. He was a very sociable person. In his quieter hours he completed an interesting, well-written science fiction novel.

The funeral service for John will be held on April 8, 2015 at 11:00 am at the Marysville Community Church. Interment to follow at Kimberley Cemetery.

WHAT YOU WANT SOLD!CALL: 427-5333 Ten Reasons to Advertise

on a Newspaper Website1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
