The grizzly bears are up and aboutC AROLYN GR ANT

One of the things Susan Bond had hoped for, after recovering from a grizzly attack last fall, was that people would let others know when they saw bear tracks, especially around popular hiking areas.

She received just such a heads up last Thursday from hiker Lyle Grisedale of Kim-berley.

Bond and her hus-band, Peter Moody, were both badly injured when they surprised a grizzly sow and her two cubs last November while walking near their home on LD Ranch Road. Grisedale was hiking on the Wycliffe prairie last Thursday — as the crow flies not all that far from where Bond and Moody were

attacked.Grisedale says he ac-

cessed the hiking area off Porteous Road and walked through the gate

toward the second butte when he saw the tracks. He says he’s hiked this particular area for years and never seen grizzly

sign, but that doesn’t mean the bears aren’t there.

One of three men ac-cused of plotting to kill a Cranbrook drug rival was in-stead concerned with run-ning his “Mr. Frosty” busi-ness of supplying after-hours booze and cocaine and had no knowledge of any murder plan, his lawyer said Thurs-day.

Leader charged in conspiracy didn’t know, lawyer saysLonnie Adams was too busy running ‘Mr. Frosty’ business, court toldDon Campbell, who rep-

resents Lonnie Adams, began his closing submissions to the jury Thursday afternoon in the murder-conspiracy trial.

The Crown has alleged Adams was part of a criminal organization, a rung higher than co-accused Lorne Carry and Colin Correia.

Campbell said evidence heard in court from record-ings made by RCMP show Adams wasn’t conspiring to kill a drug rival. Instead, Campbell said those conver-sations show he was con-cerned with running an ille-gal booze and drug operation he called Mr. Frosty.

Prosecutor Ann Katrine Saettler told the jury earlier in the day to “look at Mr. Adams’ part and role in the organiza-tion.”

She also noted that evi-dence introduced in court showed Adams told key Crown witness Gary Shank that Shank was being brought

in for “heavy work.”That heavy work was mur-

der of drug rival Doug Mahon.“That’s a code,” Saettler

said. “Words are not used on the phone like ‘murder’ and ‘killing’ when you’re talking about doing this things.”

Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia are charged

with conspiracy to commit murder in the trial that began Feb. 6.

Carry is also charged with possession and attempt to transfer an AK-47-like auto-matic rifle, while Correia is charged with possessing and attempting to transfer a re-stricted handgun.

To win the Olympus Showdown film com-petition takes a mix of creativity, talent and organization, as the contest gives filmmak-ers only 72 hours to put together their submis-sion. For the group that won the competition, which includes two area locals, all of those things came together.

Ryan and Sharai Tapp both grew up in Kimberley, and have lived in Cranbrook as well. Ryan currently lives in Nelson, while Sharai lives in Whistler. Both had instrumental parts in the three day production of the film, “Katch Up,” said their father Randy Tapp.

“Both my kids were involved in the film that won,” Tapp said. “It’s really a big event and remarkable that they got to that level.”

The team was awarded a $10,000 prize for their efforts.

Sharai stars in the five minute film as the genie. She is starting out on a career in act-ing.

tion took place last week.

Ryan was brought on for his musical tal-ents. He took a music program in Nelson and has worked on a num-ber of film soundtracks. During the competi-tion, he worked under a tight deadline to de-velop the films score,

with only 12 hours by the time the film was ready for him to jump in.

“They are given 72 hours from scratch,” he said. “They do as much as possible to keep it a level playing field.”

The contest in-cludes some well-fund-ed filmmakers from

abroad that come to compete and included 48 teams in total.

The teams pay an entry fee, then the or-ganizers tell them the rules and the clock starts ticking down the 72 hours, in which they have to complete the production, from film-ing to final edit. They

then screen the films for the judges, who choose the finalists. After the awards are given out, there are three nights of public screenings in Whistler.

“I’m pretty proud of them,” he said.

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

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

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

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

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

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

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

East Kootenay tow oper-ator and his wife were recognized and thanked for over 35 years of work in road safety partner-ship last week

The RCMP East Koo-tenay Traffic Services presented a plaque rec-ognizing the excellent service provided by Roy and Marlene Schmidt of Selkirk Towing, a local operator in Cran-brook.

On April 17, 2013, the unit presented Roy and Marlene Schmidt of Selkirk Towing a plaque thanking them for over 35 years of dedicated service to the police and the community.

Over Roy’s period of service he has attended some 39,000 calls.

His wife Marlene has always been at his side. Marlene first started helping Roy by sweep-ing the highway while Roy got busy getting his tow truck loaded. Over time Marlene saw the need to expand her role and in recent years handed the broom to Roy and took on the job of rolling up her sleeves

RCMP honour retiring local tow operators

and working the tow truck.

“The RCMP East Kootenay Traffic Ser-vices (EKTS)/Integrated Road Safety Unit (IRSU) supports establishing and maintaining strong partnerships within the community in efforts in our collective goal en-suring safe roads in B.C.,” said Sgt. Einor Jor-genson, East Kootenay Traffic Services.

“Given that the EKTS/IRSU officers work shoulder to shoul-der with area tow oper-ators, the RCMP EKTS meet regularly to ad-

dress mutual issues and concerns with the vari-ous tow operators.

“You could describe Roy as a very depend-able, calm, cool and compassionate person. Roy recalled many a story during our recent presentation and meet-ing. It is clear he will miss interacting with the police and the pub-lic.

“As a unit and on be-half of the communities that he served, we wish Roy the best in retire-ment and assure him that we will miss his smiling face.”

Roy and Marlene Schmidt (above, centre and left) of Selkirk Towing are stepping back after 35 years of service in and around Cranbrook.

townSman StaffAre you up-to-date

with immunizations?Interior Health

would like East Koote-nay residents to stop and think about when they were last vaccinat-ed this week, National Immunization Aware-ness Week, April 20-27.

For broader access to vaccinations, Interior Health nurses are offer-ing a rather novel loca-tion for boosters on Wednesday, April 24: the Public Produce Gar-den in Cranbrook.

If you spend time in the garden, you may be in danger of contracting tetanus. The bacteria can be found in soil and transmitted through dirt.

Interior Health nurs-es will be offering free

tetanus boosters Wednesday, April 24 at the Public Produce Gar-den, but the last day to sign up is Monday, April 22.

The nurses will have a tent set up, so the event will be going ahead rain or shine. To register call Terri or Charlotte at Interior Health at 250-420-2207.

Meanwhile, you can walk into the Public Health Unit in Cran-brook (beside the hospi-tal) or Kimberley Health Centre (in Townsite) from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and a public health nurse will be available to give you im-munization shots.

When most people are vaccinated for a dis-ease, it makes it harder

for that disease to spread from person to person. When people stop immunizing, dis-eases come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable like young children, seniors, and people with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems.

“This year we saw an increase in cases of whooping cough (per-tussis) here in Interior Health and some parts of our province experi-enced significant out-breaks,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “This is an im-portant reminder that we need to keep our im-munization rates high to help prevent outbreaks

like this from happen-ing.”

“Vaccines don’t just prevent diseases; they also reduce the possibil-ity of serious complica-tions or death associat-ed with vaccine-pre-ventable diseases. Mumps, measles, and rubella viruses can lead to potentially deadly complications like pneumonia and en-cephalitis. Whooping cough (pertussis) and meningitis C bacteria can cause brain damage or death,” explained Dr. Parker. “The main side effects associated with getting vaccines are minor and temporary, such as a sore arm or mild fever. The likeli-hood of having a serious side effect from a vac-cine is extremely small. The benefits of vaccina-

Are you due for your immunization shots?

tion far outweigh the risks.”

Factual vaccine in-formation can help peo-ple make informed de-cisions about their health and the health of their families. It is very

important to make sure you get vaccine infor-mation from reliable and credible sources. The ImmunizeBC web-site www.immunizeBC.ca or your local public health nurse are excel-

lent sources of informa-tion about vaccinations.

For more informa-tion, contact Cranbrook Public Health Unit at 250-420-2207, or Kim-berley Health Centre at 250-427-2215.

April 22 to 26 is Immunization Week.

IHA encourages the public to think about being vaccinated during National Immunization Awareness Week

“I’ve never come across tracks like that before but this one just happened to step into soft dirt close to the creek,” he said. “If it was walking on the grass, you’d never see the tracks.”

Grisedale said he wanted to get the word out because this part of Wycliffe is very popular with hikers. He also contacted

Susan Bond.“Last fall grizzly tracks were

sighted in the days before and after our attack,” Bond said. “I do want people to be aware that bears are out there. One thing people may not know is that grizzlies are primarily vegetari-ans. At this time of year they are after the new grass, shoots and

roots, tubers. As vegetation is starting to green up, the bears are out there.”

Grisedale says there is no doubt in his mind that the tracks he photographed are those of a grizzly.

“There’s no black bear with a foot that long. And you can see the claws. It’s definitely a grizzly and a big one.”

The trial centres around Shank, a lifelong criminal who testified that he confessed to RCMP that he was hired to kill Mahon by the three men. He was then signed on by RCMP to be a police agent and wear a recording device in various scenarios with the three accused.

But defence lawyer Campbell noted the law is complex. The Crown must prove that once Shank became a police agent, Adams conspired with at least one other

person. That person can’t be Shank, since he worked for RCMP and was not capable of being a party to any agree-ment.

Shank testified earli-er in the trial that before becoming an agent, Correia and Carry set him up with a semi-au-tomatic rifle and ammu-nition. His “heavy work” was to kill Mahon for $10,000.

But Campbell said conversations recorded by RCMP during the scenarios show Adams

had no knowledge of Shank’s eventual arrest in a trailer late in 2009, when he was busted by RCMP in possession of the rifle.

“If Mr. Adams is in-volved in a conspiracy and he’s such an integral part of the organization and has agreed Doug Mahon is to be mur-dered, don’t you think he’d know what hap-pened in the trailer?”

Defence lawyers rep-resenting Carry and Correia are scheduled to present closing submis-sions Friday.

Local non-profit groups will gather on Friday, May 10 to show-case their services to the public.

The Community Ser-vices Fair will take place May 10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ktunaxa Na-tion gym (in the old Central School build-ing).

Organizer Gary Dal-ton said the fair is a re-vival of a gathering that began twelve years ago,

but was discontinued in the early 2000s.

“We saw there was a need to have an oppor-tunity for the non-prof-its to get together,” said Dalton, part of the com-munity care team at AN-KORS.

“It was initially in-tended more as an in-house meeting. But over the years it grew into a piece that included the public a whole bunch.”

This year, a group of non-profit groups in-cluding Safe Communi-ties Cranbrook, the Urban Governance Committee and the So-cial Planning Council sought to revive the fair.

“The non-profit sec-tor is huge and it’s not very often we get the chance to acknowledge each other and cele-brate each other and network with each other,” said Dalton.

As well as giving non-profits the oppor-tunity to connect with each other, the fair will give the public a chance to see the vast variety of community services of-fered in Cranbrook.

“We’re not certain that a lot of people in the public are away of those agencies that exist,” said Dalton.

“We hope to initiate this event and be able to provide more services in the future. It’s a way our whole community can network even better.”

There are already 30 agencies signed up to attend the fair, including the Salvation Army, Ca-nadian Mental Health Association – Koote-nays, United Way, Bel-lies to Babies, Big Broth-ers Big Sisters, Street Angels, and Options for Sexual Health.

Letters to the editorBPa

I read with interest the article that appeared in the April 18, 2013, edition of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman entitled, “Most Canadians have BPA in Urine, Lead traces in Blood: Report.”

In the piece, bisphenol A, or BPA, is identified as being found in plastic “food and beverage containers.” Within the context of beverage containers used to package bottled water and other non-al-coholic consumer beverages, this state-ment requires clarification.

BPA is not used in the production of PET plastic-based beverage containers, which have been in use by the Canadian beverage industry for more than 25 years.

According to Health Canada (www.chemicalsubstanceschimiques.gc.ca), BPA is used to “make a hard, clear plastic known as polycarbonate, which is used in many consumer products, including reusable water bottles and baby bottles. It is also found in epoxy resins, which act as a protective lining on the inside of metal-based food and beverage cans.”

Health Canada further states that “current research tells us the general public need not be concerned. In gener-al, most Canadians are exposed to very low levels of bisphenol A, therefore, it does not pose a health risk.”

drowning in droppingsHazing — Wow, this suggestion cer-

tainly brought merriment and enlivened the discussions in and around the coffee shops. My favorite comment — “Isn’t hazing kind of like herding cats?”

Well, it has proven to be just another delay of the inevitability of what really has to be done. With the denial of per-mission to haze the deer, the magnitude of the problem has multiplied making the real solution more traumatic.

It was good, however, to see that the Provincial Government has claimed ownership of the deer. This declaration

should enable all of the hard working by-law officers the authority to issue tickets to the Government for not removing their deer doo-doo. I know that I have at least one garbage can full in my yard just waiting for them to pick it up.

We seem to be drowning in doo-doo these days and not all of it comes from the deer. I’m hoping to see said by-law officers issuing tickets to the dog owners that somehow never ever see their dogs doo-dooing all over town. This has likely resulted in a cost savings at the little used doo-doo bag stations strategically placed about town. I ask: “Have they ever run out of doo-doo bags?” I suspect not. Just walk the streets, alleys and our walking trails. See the disgusting drop-ping for yourself.

“Political Fence Sitting” could be the new replacement for wrestling at the Olympics. We have plenty of that going on in all levels of our government.

I just had to get that off my chest. I’ll be okay.

New Democratic Party leader Adrian Dix launched his election campaign last week in Premier Christy Clark’s riding of Vancouver-Point Grey, a jab that was like-ly inspired by his political mentor Glen Clark.

The earlier premier Clark kicked off his 1996 election bid with a rally in the same riding, represented by then B.C. Liberal leader (and later premier him-self) Gordon Campbell.

That Premier Clark went on to narrow-ly win the election, though not the seat, which stayed Liberal. Dix’s presence there Tuesday was a reflection of the ex-pectation that if the opin-ion polls hold, the NDP will both win the govern-ment and unseat the pre-mier.

On the same day that Dix was conducting his demonstration of the art of political hardball, the B.C. Lib-erals were fielding one of their own, and to more immediate effect.

For the Liberal party researchers had turned up some damaging, if dated, com-ments about aboriginal people and French-Canadians by the NDP nominee in Kelowna-Mission, Day-leen Van Ry-swyk.

Unlike the Liberals, the New Demo-crats hadn’t done their homework on her, witness not just the above-cited com-ments, but the one reported yesterday by Vancouver Sun columnist Craig McInnes.

“The government is nothing more than a big black hole that feeds off the working man, sucking his last penny from his hand so they can give it away freely or lose it stupidly on things like fast ferries and about a zillion other stupid things.”

This circa the 1990s, when Dix’s then-boss Glen Clark was touting the fast fer-ries as a vision for the future. Given time, the Liberals might have had some fun with that one as well.

But the hapless Van Ryswyk was off the NDP slate within two hours of the Liberal

press release, Dix having whipped up a quick batch of lemonade with the lemon he’d been dealt earlier in the day.

The Liberals, overplaying their hand as they often do, then accused Dix of hes-itation: “She should have been immedi-ately fired.”

But on that charge one thought back to the Liberal handling of the ethnic out-reach scandal, when it took Christy Clark a full day to acknowledge the problem, another day to accept the resignation of her deputy chief of staff and the better

part of a week to appear in the legislature in person to face questions over the fiasco.

The other point worth noting about the brief controversy was the tim-ing. The Liberals chose to release the poisoned fruits

of their research on the opening day of the campaign.

If they’d held off until after official nomination day, April 26, B.C. election rules would have prevented the New Democrats from appointing a replace-ment. Either they decided the dirt wouldn’t keep until then, or, more likely, they hoped for a boost on opening day to reduce the NDP lead in public opinion.

That much was suggested by the polls released on opening day — an Angus Reid survey that had the New Democrats ahead by 17 points, an Ipsos Reid survey that put the lead at 19 points.

Those gaps, however malleable they prove to be in the days ahead, went a long way toward explaining the respective opening strategies of the two major par-ties.

Clark spent a significant amount of her time campaigning in areas that usual-ly elect Liberals, including Chilliwack, Kamloops, Prince George and the Peace River country.

I was particularly struck by her deci-sion to pay an early visit to the Peace be-cause the Liberals won the region’s two

seats handily in the last three elections.But there was Jack Weisgerber, the

former three-term MLA for Peace South and now a government supporter, telling reporter Jas Johal of Global TV that the Liberals face a tough fight in the region this time out.

While Clark was trying to shore up support in government-held ridings, Dix was roaming freely through high-profile territory that could change hands if the opinion polls remain in his favour.

Apart from the premier’s riding, he dropped in on the Abbotsford bailiwick of Finance Minister Mike de Jong, on Comox, currently held by Education Min-ister Don McRae, and on Vancouver-Lan-gara, where Social Development minister Moira Stilwell is seeking re-election.

McRae tried to turn the tables on the strategy by showing up for the Dix event in his riding, which had New Democrats joking that the Liberals were reduced to crashing their events as the only way to meet a crowd of happy British Columbi-ans.

The Liberals, for their part, were wish-ing all voters could see the Dix interview with reporter Rob Brown, aired Thursday on CTV: Brown asking how the NDP in-tends to spend the $300 million they are taking out of the Liberal education fund, Dix ducking the question and looking chippy while he does it.

I’ve seen that side of Dix in scrums before but not of late. If it surfaces again, that could be trouble for the New Demo-crats.

But at this point the offending inter-view was a mere snapshot of a campaign in progress, like others taken during the week, opinion polls included. String them together and you’ve got a narrative for the election. But we’ll only know which ones counted and which ones didn’t after the votes are cast on May 14.

The art of political hardball

Vaughn Palmer

MONDAY, APRIL 22, 2013

And now for a few choice words about the recent Senate vote that scuttled univer-sal background checks on gun purchases. And the first three of those words are… Yellow-Bellied Cowards. Here’s a couple more. Gut-less, Craven, Chick-en-Hearted Invertebrates. Dastardly, Lily-Livered, Spineless Jellyfish with the moral compunction of in-bred Piranhas crowded into a too-small tank filled with liquid meth.

That giant, arrogant pimp known as the NRA should be laughing hysterically after its lackeys trashed the ephemeral spirit of compromise that had settled over Wash-ington like a soft dawn mist. Ninety per-cent of Republicans voted against an issue 90 percent of the American people sup-port. A bipartisan bill that was so watered down it was translucent. Leaked moisture all through the Senate chamber to a depth of a half-inch. Would have easily support-ed two schools of guppies.

The Senators that deigned to speak be-fore scurrying down their greasy little wormholes to bunk in the nether regions of hell whined that pro-gun forces punish politicians for votes, while pro-gun control

forces don’t. Nobody mentioned the right thing to do or keeping automatic weapons out of the hands of felons or making the country or our schools safer. You know,

their job. The NRA, itself worried

about being primaried from the right by other gun associations, encouraged its well-compensated hookers to compete among themselves to see who could lie most outrageous-

ly. Numerous Senators claimed the bill would lead to a national gun registry even though the very bill they spoke of included provisions to specifically prohibit such a thing. Perhaps it needs to be spelled out in simpler language like: “Gun Registry -- Bad. Not Good. No-Go. Not Going to Hap-pen.”

Besides, exactly what is wrong with a national gun registry? You have to register a car. Most cities mandate bicycles be li-censed. You need a card to take a book out of a library for crum’s sakes. Proving that some people are much more comfortable with guns than they are books. Which is part of the problem.

In what was surely meant as an inside joke, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn com-

plained the bill would raise taxes. Why stop there? And child pornographers will camp in your back yard practicing Sharia law with uncircumcised goats riddled with Chinese bird flu.

This time the NRA may have over-reached. Perpetrated an outrage too far. A revulsion too great. Could very well have created its own Frankenstein monster. 90 percent is a big figure. You’d think even the most casual of voters might tend to re-member when someone turns their back on the country, jumps up and down on a litter of newborn puppies, then parties. And it would only take a committed few to throw their allegiance to candidates who pledge loyalty to the nation rather than a lobby that focuses on weapons of mass destruction.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wasn’t kid-ding. The GOP’s path is clear. It is doomed to be the rich, white guy, anti-science, pro-gun, stupid party. Destined to slowly stran-gle on its own gurgling incoherencies until it is no longer comprehensible or relevant. Couldn’t happen soon enough to a nicer bunch of rich white guys. And their grin-ning, gun-toting, treacherous minions.

C ANADIAN PRESSSOCHI, Russia -

Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters scored for the second straight game to lead Canada in a 3-1 win over Germany on Saturday at the IIHF under-18 world cham-pionship.

McDavid finished with a goal and an as-sist as Canada im-proved to 2-0 at the tournament. Canada opened the tourna-ment with a 4-1 in over Slovakia.

He assisted on Mad-ison Bowey’s opening goal just 1:27 in the

game while on the power play.

“It was a great pass Connor McDavid gave me,” said Bowey. “I had a lot of time and space so I just kind of took it and put it in.”

Yan-Pavel Laplante of the P.E.I. Rocket made it 2-0 when he scored at 11:22 of the first as Canada finished the period with a 15-7 edge in shots on goal.

McDavid pushed the lead to 3-0 midway through the second, but Germany got one back when Janik Moser scored with under a

minute left in the frame.

“I had a pretty good game but I was just doing it for the team,” said McDavid. “I came here with not too many expectations. I’m play-ing well right now but, like I said, it’s all about the team.”

Canadian goalie

Philippe Desrosiers fin-ished with a 25 saves on 26 shots, while Kevin Reich was kept busy at the other end with 36 saves on 39 shots.

Canada next plays Switzerland on Mon-day.

The tournament is being played on two 2014 Olympic rinks. Canada will play the first round in Group B against Slovakia, Ger-many, Switzerland and Sweden at the 7,000-seat Shayba Arena.

The United States is looking for a fifth straight gold medal at

the event. The Ameri-cans and host Russia are in Group A with Latvia, Finland and the Czech Republic at the 12,000-seat Bolshoy Ice Dome.

Many top players are unavailable to partici-pate at the tournament because they’re still in-volved in playoffs with their junior clubs.

The semifinals are on April 26 with the final on April 28.

Canada won gold in 2003 and 2008 but then was out of the medals until it took bronze at last year’s event.

Bancks gets called up to the FlamesTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

The Calgary Flames are turning towards their youth to allow the young blood to compete for jobs next season.

The NHL club has called up seven players from their AHL affiliate in Abbotsford, one of which includes Carter Bancks, the son of Koo-tenay Ice assistant coach Jerry Bancks.

The AHL playoffs, which will begin shortly, will not feature the Ab-botsford Heat, which finished 12th in the Western Conference, missing the post-season for the second time in its four-year history in the Lower Mainland.

In 59 games with the Heat this season, Bancks has tallied four goals and seven assists, and accumulated 53 penalty minutes.

Bancks has been playing professional hockey for the last three full seasons with the

Heat, and has reached the end of his entry-lev-el contract with the Flames.

The Flames are al-ready featuring some other call-ups in their current roster, such as former Kootenay Ice sniper Max Reinhart and Portland Winter-hawks alum Sven Baertschi are currently auditioning for roles in the show next year.

Joining Bancks with the Flames is Akim Aliu, Paul Byron, Mark Cund-ari, Leland Irving, Blair Jones and Ben Street.

Jace Coyle, another local hockey player who has turned pro, is cur-rently battling it out with Idaho Steelheads against the Ontario Reign in the second round of the ECHL play-offs.

Coyle has been up and down with Texas Stars of the AHL this year, is—like Bancks—on the final season of his entry contract.

Curler Glenn Howard wins Players’ ChampionshipGREGORY STRONG

Canadian Press

TORONTO - Glenn Howard capped the curling season in style Sunday by hitting a clutch double takeout with his final shot to win the Players’ Champion-ship at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.

He also let the stacked field know that he just might be the skip to beat at the Olympic trials later this year.

Howard, from Cold-water, Ont., scored two in the final end for a 4-3 victory over Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen in the final Grand Slam event

of the season. Howard won all seven of his games against a field that included top do-mestic and internation-al competition.

“We’re as good as anybody right now,” Howard said. “I can’t wait to get out to those trials in December and see if we can let the old guys keep playing.”

The 50-year-old skip and teammates Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing and Craig Savill have been strong again this season after an excellent 2012 campaign. Howard won the Tim Hortons Brier last year and fol-

lowed it up with his fourth world title.

He owns top spot on the World Curling Tour’s Order of Merit and took the bronze at the recent national playdowns. Winning the last Grand Slam event on his final shot was a nice way to head into the summer.

“This is a big event, this is 15 of the best teams in the world and we just won it,” Howard said. “So it doesn’t get any better. This is harder to win than the Brier, this is harder to win than the worlds as far as I’m concerned because you’ve got all the best

teams here.“So to win it, you’re

pumped.”Howard and McEw-

en both seemed content to chip away throughout the game with neither skip able to generate much offence. McEwen was light with his final throw in the last end, giving Howard the chance to go for two in-stead of a single that would have forced an extra end.

“Only one team gets to win their last game and that happens to be us this year,” Laing said. “So yeah, it’s awesome.”

Earlier, Scotland’s

Eve Muirhead defeated Margaretha Sigfridsson 8-5 in the women’s final for her first career Grand Slam title. The win came just a few weeks after Muirhead beat the Swedish skip in the gold-medal game at the world championship in Latvia.

“We knew we had to be sharp against the Swedish girls,” Muir-head said. “We always have huge battles against them and we have a pretty high suc-cess rate against them in a final.

“To get another one is great.”

New Olympic offices in Montreal to be

showpiece for sportSTEPHANIE LE VITZ

Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The Mon-treal headquarters of Canada’s Olympic move-ment is getting a major makeover.

A 1,486 square metre space in the heart of the city is being turned into a centre of Canadian sport for athletes and the pub-lic, the president of the Canadian Olympic Com-mittee says.

The new facility will feature the Olympic rings on the building, a muse-um and a gift shop as well as administrative space, Marcel Aubut said in an interview Sunday.

“It’s going to be a unique showcase for Olympics in Canada,” Aubut said. “It’s going to be lots more than the COC offices.”

The building is being given to the COC rent-free, thanks to a deal be-tween the Quebec gov-ernment and the build-ing’s current owners.

Aubut says the site will open in September, after which he’ll get to work on a similar project

for the COC’s offices in Toronto.

He adds he had begun negotiating with former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty and will go back to discuss it with current Premier Kathleen Wynne in the next six months.

An Olympic museum was opened by a private group in Toronto in 2004 but the $42 million facili-ty in the heart of down-town closed two years later.

Meanwhile, the COC is closing its Ottawa of-fice, and splitting its work between Montreal and Toronto.

Aubut says closing up shop in the nation’s capi-tal, plus the rent savings in Montreal, will see $600,000 a year go back into COC coffers.

Since first being elect-ed as COC president in 2009, Aubut has sought to dramatically raise the profile of both the orga-nization and Olympic sport in general, in part by applying much more of a private-sector ap-proach to its operations.

McDowell wins playoff to capture RBC Heritage titlePETE IACOBELLIAssociated Press

HILTON HEAD IS-LAND, S.C. - For all the big moments in Graeme McDowell’s career, his resume was short on PGA Tour victories.

McDowell relished what he called his first authentic tour win, de-feating fellow U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson in a playoff at the RBC Heritage on Sunday.

McDowell’s been at the centre of some of golf’s biggest moments, from his rousing triumph at Pebble Beach in 2010 to capturing the winning point for Europe in that year’s Ryder Cup match-es. He has six European PGA victories, too, but he hadn’t triumphed in the weekly grind of the world’s top tour.

“This game kicks you more often than it gives you a pat on the back,” McDowell said. “It’s hard to win.”

Not on this day for McDowell, who pushed forward on wind-blown Harbour Golf Links when his rivals were moving backward, un-nerved by the 20 to 30 mph winds that rattled the course.

He rallied from four strokes down when the day began to take a one-shot lead into the 72nd hole. Then after he made his only bogey of the round to fall into tie with Simpson, two-putted from about 15 feet to make a par on the extra hole that Simpson couldn’t match.

“I guess the weather was what the doctor or-

dered. I needed that to get close to the leaders,” said McDowell, who earned $1,044,000 for the victory.

McDowell, from Northern Ireland, had a 69, one of only three scores in the 60s among the 70 who teed off Sun-

day.Simpson, reigning

U.S. Open winner, shot 71. He had a chance to win in regulation, but his 22-footer for birdie went 3 feet past and set up the additional hole. “I came in with not too much confidence, but I just

stayed true to the pro-cess of what we’ve been working on,” Simpson said.

Luke Donald shot a 69 to tie for third with Kevin Streelman, who had a 72. Jerry Kelly rounded out the top five after his even-par 71.

NEIL DAVIDSONCanadian Press

TORONTO - Brett Lawrie doubled home two runs in a four-run sixth inning and J.P. Arencibia hit his seventh homer as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied with six straight runs to defeat the New York Yankees 8-4 on Sunday after-noon.

The win helped To-

ronto (8-11) avert a se-ries sweep at the hands of the Yankees (10-7). And Lawrie’s heroics with the bat helped take the sting out of being in-volved in an 11th-inning fielding blunder that led to a New York win Satur-day.

Lawr ie, a made-in-Canada bundle of energy, also shone at third base by stabbing a

hard hit ball from catch-er Chris Stewart in the eighth to trigger a double play.

The game was a sell-out for the second straight day at the Rogers Centre, with 45,575 on hand to see the Jays show some fight - and offence. Toronto came into the game ranked 13th in the American League in hit-ting average (.225).

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH In your mind’s eye, you have a vision of what you want to do today. So many responsi-bilities and requests head your way that you have little choice but to proceed in a different di-rection. Be aware of a partner’s limitations. Tonight: Go with the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Allow your creativity to flow, and follow the winds of fate. You have the ability to turn a mundane chore into a happy adventure. Others appreciate your positive attitude and abil-ity to transform the most diffi-cult situations. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? Be naughty. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel unusually tense about how much is being tossed on your plate. Though you might not want to say the words “stop” or “enough,” know that you can convey your preferences through your facial expressions and body language. Tonight: Head on home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your words have impact, but perhaps they affect someone you would prefer they wouldn’t. A loved one could take a com-ment personally. Listen to your inner voice as to how far you can push this person. Be aware of your limits. Tonight: Meet a friend for a chat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize a tendency to go overboard. You simply might be having too good of a time and not even realize it. Listen to your sixth sense, and it will point you in the right direction. Trust your judgment. You’ll make good de-cisions as a result. Tonight: Stay within your budget. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t allow someone to take your power away from you. You might decide to head your own way, no matter what happens. You could become emotionally exhausted from a conversation that goes on for way too long. Know when enough is enough. Tonight: All smiles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Know when a retreat is practi-

cal, and decide the correct move to make. You don’t want to step into an emotionally charged sit-uation. You could feel insecure. Regroup and center yourself. The unexpected plays a strong role in your decisions. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be too strong-willed right now without intending to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tension keeps building, no mat-ter what you do. Stay positive. A partner or loved one will come toward you, as this person is determined to be with you. You could be eyeing something that could break your budget. Be careful. Is it really necessary? Tonight: Anchor in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Follow your whims right now. If you want to take off, do. You need a change of pace, so being in a different setting will be

good for you. A friend could dis-appoint you at the last minute. On some level, you might be feeling like you have to make a choice. Tonight: Follow the mu-sic. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a partner directly. You know a situation could radically change, no matter what you do. Creative opportunities pop up from out of the blue. Don’t try to impress a parent or higher-up. You actually are likely to fall on your face if you do. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others. You might feel as though you have the best idea, but taking a step back will work out well for you. Focus on what is happening within your immediate group of friends. A response to an inquiry might be too late coming in. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

Dear Annie: My friend “Nina” just broke up with her boyfriend of five years. We are here for her, trying to help in any way we can, even though we think she is out of her mind for doing this. One of our friends has been telling Nina lies about the guy, saying he has been talking about her behind her back. I have never heard him do this. All he has ever said is that he loves Nina and doesn’t understand why she broke things off. This friend has a reputation for being dis-honest. There have been fights about this before. She has backstabbed Nina twice in the past, yet Nina always turns to her when she thinks her world is collapsing. Nina has told me that she doesn’t trust this woman, but they continue to act like sisters. I care a great deal about Nina, but at what point does a 40-year-old woman grow up? Maybe Nina needs to have her life blow up in her face so she gets a clue. Is there anything I can do? -- A Real Friend Dear Friend: Not really. Nina knows this woman lies to her, and yet she is willing to break off an otherwise good relationship over it. We think Nina does this on purpose. It provides an excuse for her to sabotage her relationships and be miserable. Either she doesn’t believe she deserves happiness or she likes creating drama. Tell Nina you care about her and want her to be happy, but she is going to have to do some work to get there. Suggest counseling, but don’t hold your breath. Dear Annie: The other day, we invited a couple out to lunch as our guests. However, my wife and I were upset when they ordered appetizers without asking us. We never or-der appetizers, because we watch our diets and feel the dinner provides plenty of food. Also, since we were paying for it, why would they order something we ourselves didn’t order? We kept our thoughts to ourselves but would like to know whether this was proper. -- Feeling Exploited Dear Exploited: Guests should always take their cues from the hosts. If you did not sug-gest appetizers, they should not have or-dered them on their own. However, as hosts, you cannot insist that your guests share your food preferences in a restaurant. It would have been gracious of you to ask whether they would like to order appetizers, provided you could afford to do so. Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to “Worried Family in Illinois,” whose brother is addicted to drugs. This tugged at my heart because I’m dealing with that very problem in my own family. While it’s true that a person needs to be willing and ready before rehab will truly work, the key is giving your loved one an op-portunity to get clean long enough to think clearly. There is a law in my area that most attorneys don’t even know about called Casey’s Law. It allows you to file a petition against the addicted person. If adequate proof is shown that the individual is not ca-pable of making good decisions, the judge can rule that the person has to get help. My loved ones are doing wonderfully, and even though it will be a lifetime commitment, they now have a chance at a life. -- From One Worried Family to Another Dear Worried: Thank you. Casey’s Law is currently available only in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. It requires filling out a peti-tion for involuntary treatment. Information and copies of the petition can be found at caseyslaw.org or Operation Unite (operatio-nunite.org/treatment/caseys-law) at 1-866-908-6483. Annie’s Snippet for Earth Day (credit E.B. White): I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dear Wendy:My husband is

going in for an oper-ation in May and I was wondering if the operation will be successful? Can you tell me when you see him returning to work this year?

My grandfather passed away six months ago and I was wonder-ing if he is doing okay in heaven. I loved him so much. Is he with grand-ma and is there any-thing else you can tell me about how he is doing in heaven?

I have applied for several new jobs and I was wondering if you see anything transpir-ing from my resumes that I sent out?

Feeling Troubled

Dear Feeling Troubled:

We feel that the operation your hus-band is having in May will go fine. However, we feel that he may have to have another minor surgery at the end of this year on the same area. We do see him going back to work in August of 2013.

I don’t like death for the living. It makes one feel so abandoned and lonely when someone you love dies. Your grandfather was quite weak when he passed over. He had to be what I call incubated for a little while. This means his soul’s energy was weak because of the ill-ness he had on this plane. He had to be put into a dome like struc-ture until he could ad-just to the energy on the other side. He has been out of incubation on our earth time for a few days. He has seen his wife (your grand-mother) but he is most-ly staying with his dad for now.

He will probably be ready to talk to others on this plane in another four months; if you wish to do a channel over.

For now he is resting and there are several people around him dur-ing this phase.

We do not see any of the applications that you have sent out re-sulting in you obtaining the job you want. How-ever, we do see you working part-time for a while in July and this temporary job may re-sult in a full time job if you want it. Keep apply-

ing for the jobs you want and we see you in the winter of 2013 ob-taining a job you may quite enjoy.

Wendy

Dear Wendy:I was wondering if

you could do one of your specs on this man I am currently dating. I have my reservations about some of the things he is doing and the way he is doing them these last few months. I have been in several serious relation-ships in the past that did not turn out so great. I would appreci-ate it if you could help me.

Feeling Hesitant

Dear Feeling Hesi-tant:

Thank you for the first and last name of this man you wish us to do a spec on.

This is the informa-tion my guides have told me about him: He does drink a little bit too much for our liking. He does not take street drugs but he does take medicinal drugs. He does not cheat on the women he goes out with but he is a bit of a liar. This means he tells half truths about some of his past relationships he has had with women.

He can be a bit of a verbal abuser because he has a moody dispos-ition. He is a good father and cares deeply about his children. This man needs a lot of alone time because he gets quite nervous if over stimu-lated too much. He could have a touch of anxiety disorder. We feel he should go to his doctor or someone who knows about anxiety disorder and have a talk with them and get diag-nosed properly. Hope this information has helped.

Members of the Classics Oldtimers Hockey Team donated $500 to Kids Sports Coordinator, Stu Deeks. The “Classics” consist of seniors ranging from age 60 to 78 who still love to play the game of hockey two mornings a week during the winter season. By giving $500 to Kid Sports, they hope to model a love of sports that lasts throughout life. Many seniors enjoy many different sports just for the fun of it, and remain active and healthy. Pictured above are (left to right): Stu Deeks, Gary Quakenbush, Garry Roger, Murray Knipfel, Bill Gibbon, Phil McKim, Randy Trombley and Lloyd Wilson. The Classics are in their “off season” now, but will start up again next October. If you are interested in playing, contact the Cranbrook Leisure Services for more information.

The Bull River Shooter’s Association held its second match of the season on Saturday, April 13. Members and guests gathered on a chilly and snowy morning at our range near Fort Steele to test their free-hand rifle skills in spirited competition. We started with an open house and were pleased that some brave new souls ven-tured out to try our sport. We were very proud that so many members arrived early to help our visitors. The match began after lunch and the first few rounds were quite challenging. The berms backstopping the “white” targets were white with snow. Many spotters/scorekeepers had to ask the shooter if they knocked down the target! Soon we were raking the dirt between rounds to get things visible. Eventually the weather settled and the participants rev-elled in the opportunity to compete.

Match winners are as follows:Silhouette Rifle .22cal

B class — Gaby Hernandez (jr)A class — Kalvin Marsh (jr)AA class — Trudy PhillipsAAA class — Kaitlynn Johnson (jr) Match Champion — Rob McKeemanDon’t think us adults don’t notice that

three of the five category winners were juniors! Raw talent and hard work mean all can do well in this sport and that we can enjoy competing with anyone! We were very pleased to have six juniors shooting at this match and hope they con-tinue to enjoy our sport.

Sunday, April 14, saw a great high power match where shooters must knock down targets from 200 metres to 500 me-tres — freehand! Nine shooters tested their skills.

1st place — Oliver Graham (won by

Weather was chilly, shooting was hot

manOur next match is Victoria Day week-

end and is our annual invitational match; this year we will be hosting BC Provin-cials over the long weekend. Participa-

tion is limited and you must pre-register by contacting Rob as noted above. We will be conducting our annual range clean up on Saturday April 27. A wealth of information about Metallic Silhouette shooting can be found on the Internet. For information about the BRSA please contact Rob as noted above. New mem-bers are always welcome! We look for-ward to seeing you at the range.
