Bennett announces retirementBARRY COULTER AND

TREVOR CRAWLEYThe end of a political

era in British Columbia and the East Kootenay was announced Tues-day, June 21, with MLA Bill Bennett telling an audience of almost 300 he would not be run-ning in the next provin-cial election.

Bennett, along with the B.C. government ministers and Premier Christy Clark, are in Cranbrook for a cabinet retreat this week. Ben-nett, 66, used the occa-sion to make his pend-ing retirement public and to rally the Liberal faithful at a gala event at the Royal Alexandra Hall.

With his wife Beth, two sons, daughter-in-law and grandchild in attendance, Bennett said it was time to focus on his family after 16 years and four electoral terms in provincial poli-tics.

“My wife has put up with this for 16 years,” Bennett told the Towns-man after his address. “My son Daniel was in Grade 10 when I first got elected—he’s 31 now. How many fishing trips did I miss? My oldest son is back in the area now from South Ameri-ca. I’ve got a grand-daughter.

“It’s just more im-portant for me to do

On eve of BC Cabinet retreat, Premier pays tribute to four-term MLA at Royal Alex event

that, for myself and for my family, than it is to be an MLA and a minister.”

Bennett won his first

election in 2001, defeat-ing NDP incumbent Erda Walsh.

“Anyone could have

won in 2001,” Bennett said. “I was just fortu-nate to be the candidate.

“2005 was a different

story — we almost lost. In 2009 we came back stronger. In 2013 we had the third largest margin

of victory in British Co-lumbia.”

Bennett then urged the room of B.C. Liberal

supporters to keep that momentum going.

Trevor CrawleyA permanent MRI

unit is coming to the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital and is expected to be operational by 2018, announced B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake on Tuesday outside the new ICU in Cranbrook.

The $5.3 million proj-ect will be funded by the province ($2 million), the Kootenay East Re-gional Hospital District Board ($2 million), the East Kootenay Founda-tion for Health ($650,000) and the Cran-brook Healthcare Auxil-

iary ($650,000). Lake praised the part-

nership between the varying levels of govern-ment and volunteer or-ganizations that adds another element of pa-tient care to the facility.

“It’s another invest-ment in the East Koote-nay Regional Hospital, which of course, serves a large region of the Koo-tenays and following the ICU—to have a perma-nent MRI scanner here really will improve the ability reduce wait times, give people that early di-agnosis which is so criti-cal for treating serious diseases,” Lake said.

Currently, the EKRH is served by a mobile MRI unit that stays for one week out of the month before moving to other areas of the prov-ince.

Lake said that having a permanent MRI in Cranbrook will allow local patients to receive access to the service, while freeing up the mo-bile unit to visit other areas of Interior Health jurisdiction.

“First of all, it’s a busy hospital,” Lake said. “We know that there is the demand here for this service. People who live here know what it’s like to travel if you have to have an urgent MRI done and you have to go to Kelowna, for instance — in the wintertime, that’s particularly chal-lenging.

“Having a permanent MRI here will not only reduce wait times, but it will reduce travel times for people in the area.”

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said that im-

proving health care ser-vice and capability at the EKRH is one of the most rewarding aspects of being an elected official.

“With this announce-ment, we continue to build on the long list of investments that have made East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital a world-class facility,” Bennett said. “Our priority is to give staff and physicians the tools they need to provide excellent health care right here in Cran-brook.”

Dr. Lawrence Jewett, the Chief of Staff at the EKRH, said the addition of a permanent MRI is one of the final pieces of the puzzle for the facility, and is just another capa-bility that will help with physician recruitment.

“This is the final piece, the infrastructure that Mr. Bennett and I dreamed about 20 years ago, when we started this campaign,” Jewett said.

MRI — Magnetic Res-onance Imaging—is a safe and painless test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed pic-tures of the body’s or-gans and structures. It is used to diagnose a num-ber of medical condi-tions such as abnormali-ties of the brain, identify-ing tumours and cysts and soft-tissue injuries.

MRI’s are different from other diagnostic imaging, as it doesn’t use radiation, however, other imaging types such as x-ray, ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) can be more appro-priate tools for many dif-ferent types of medical conditions.

Hospital gets MRI

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

“We have a challenge ahead of us. Whoever gets the election, I’m going to help in the election.

“We’ll have a good com-petition, and the best candi-date will win. No one is going to be appointed.”

Over the 16 years, Bennett has acquired a reputation — among his supporters and detractors alike — for getting things done, saying what he thinks, and taking the initia-tive. Over what can be de-scribed as a colourful and high profile political arc, he has risen from a small-town politician in the boondocks of the B.C. Interior to become one of the central figures of provincial government.

He is acknowledged to have raised the profile of his riding in the province, and getting things done for his constituents of all stripes. There certainly has been controversy in his time, and serious setbacks to his career. But each time he has come back seemingly stronger. Bennett resigned from his first cabinet post in 2007 — Minister of State for Mining — after a nasty email he wrote to a constituent was made public. He was re-ap-pointed to cabinet in 2008, as B.C.’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, going on to be re-elected in 2009, he was appointed as B.C.’s Minister of Community & Rural Development.

In 2010, Bennett was ap-

pointed as B.C.’s Minister of Energy where he served until November 17, 2010, when in one of the signal moments of his career, he took a stand against Premier Gordon Campbell staying on as pre-mier following the HST deba-cle.

“It was a lot of pressure on everybody at the time,” Ben-nett said on Tuesday. “I was quite convinced…I have a pretty good gut for politics, my instincts are not usually very far off and I really be-lieved if we went into the 2013 election with Mr. Camp-bell as the premier, that we wouldn’t win.

“I’d tried more conven-tional methods of persuad-ing him and persuading oth-ers that we needed to make a change and I was unsuccess-ful so I resorted to pretty ex-treme action to try to have him quit and he did that.

Even so, Bennett was kicked out of the B.C. Liberal caucus, although it must be said he never lost the support of the great majority of his constituents.

“I remember when I came back, after getting kicked out of cabinet, I was a little bit down in the mouth, but I got to the airport, there were 120 people there with signs — it really helped keep me going.”

Premier Campbell re-signed shortly after. Bennett, who remained in touch with party circles, supported George Abbott for party lead-

ership, but quickly came to see the strengths of the even-tual winner of the leadership contest, Christy Clark, who as leader welcomed Bennett back into caucus.

In 2013, following a B.C. Liberal election victory that they were supposed to lose, according to most polls, Ben-nett was appointed as B.C.’s Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, becoming one of the most influential and prominent figures in provin-cial government.

On Tuesday evening, Pre-mier Clark was on hand at the Royal Alex to pay tribute to Bennett.

After an introduction by Bennett, Clark spoke of the fraught 2013 election, when everyone was saying the B.C. Liberals were “doomed, all across the province.” The pe-riod preceding the election was marked by a number of high profile Liberals retiring from politics, in advance of an expected election loss.

“When you’re counting on people who don’t ecessar-ily have their hearts in it, what do you do? You find people with big hearts, who are prepared to invest in the future,” Clark said. “And that’s why I fought so hard to make sure Bill Bennett found his way back into caucus and back into our cabinet group.

“Bill always brings back honest clarity to the discus-sion. And even if you don’t agree with Bill, always know

he’s telling you what he thinks. And I believe that people don’t just vote on what politicians say, they vote on whether or not they think politicians have char-acter. And Bill Bennett is a man of tremendous charac-ter.”

Clark paid tribute to Ben-nett’s populism.

“For Bill, the waitress and her opinions are just as im-portant as the guy who owns the restaurant she works in,” the premier said. “The man who picks the cherries in the orchard is just as important as the guy who owns the or-chard. The guy who pours the concrete is just as import-ant as the contractor who employs him. British Colum-bians, no matter who they are, or where they work, all of them matter to Bill Bennett.”

Clark brought up a bit of pre-election

“He’s a warrior for British Columbian, and a warrior for this riding. And this riding, we need another warrior,” Clark said.

Following his address in-side the Royal Alexandra Hall, Bennett scrummed with local media to provide more details on the reasons behind his decision and to reminisce on is political ca-reer.

“Yeah, I’m sad,” Bennett said. “There’s a lot of ego in this job, if you haven’t no-ticed. You’re out in front and leading and you got people saying you’re a great guy and

they usually want something and that’s the nature of the business.

“So it does kind of pump your ego and you have to make sure you keep that in check. It’s a really satisfying job to do, aside from the ego part of it, it’s a really satisfying job to do.”

He reached back 20 years ago when he got together with a group of doctors and a nurse—before he even had the B.C. Liberal nomina-tion—to understand the is-sues with the East Kootenay Regional hospital.

And there were many. “It was a terrible hospital,

it got written up by Maclean’s [Magazine] as one of the worst rural hospitals in all of Canada. I remember that ar-ticle. I have that article still in my files in the year 2000,” Bennett said.

“It’s now a beautiful re-gional hospital, $60-plus mil-lion later, with all the equip-ment we need, all the spe-cialists we need. We have four or five of everything that we need in a regional hospi-tal this size.”

Over the course of his ca-reer, Bennett said that com-promise and supporting other members within cau-cus was a crucial ingredient to the B.C. Liberals capturing four consecutive majority governments.

“One of the great values that we have in the B.C. Lib-eral caucus—and it started with Gordon Campbell and I

give him credit and Christy Clark has carried it on—is that you can say whatever the hell you want within our cau-cus room,” Bennett said. “If you disagree with the pre-mier or somebody in the room, you just say so. We do that and we somehow or other keep it together and we cooperate, we support each other.

“If there’s a key to the suc-cess of the Liberal govern-ment, that’s what it is.”

Bennett says his succes-sor—whomever wins the B.C. Liberal nomination—should be prepared to work hard.

“I don’t think anybody should get this seat on a silver platter,” Bennett said. “I hope a dozen people come out and say they want to be the MLA from Kootenay East and we had just a rip-roaring compe-tition and the best person will win and that person will work hard because they’re going to have to work hard to win the nomination.”

However, there’s no doubt, people are interested in filling those shoes.

“There’s one guy who I’m sure is going to take a run at it and I know another guy who I think is going to take a run at it,” Bennett said. “I’d like to see women think about it. It’d be great to have a female can-didate here for the BC Liber-als. There’s lots of great, strong women in this area. They should think about doing this.”

F o r t h e tow n s m a nKootenay–Columbia MP Wayne

Stetski introduced a Private Mem-ber’s Bill to establish National Local Food Day. The bill would designate the Friday before Thanksgiving of each year as National Local Food Day.

“The importance of local food is something that needs to be recog-nized and something that needs to be celebrated.” said Stetski “In our re-gion we have an amazing array of high quality locally produced food, from vegetables and fruit, to pasta and chocolate, to organic meat and milk. Our local farmers, manufac-tures and retailers are integral not only to our food security but to our local economies.”

According to the Conference Board of Canada, 77 per cent of Ca-nadian consumers think locally pro-duced food is important for their pur-chasing decisions. Farmers Markets contribute over $3 billion dollars an-nually to the Canadian economy.

The introduction of Stetski’s bill has already found a lot of support lo-cally and across the Kootenay region.

“This is exciting news,” says So-phie Larsen, Project Coordinator of the Cranbrook Food Action Commit-tee whose efforts include the suc-cessful Cranbrook Public Produce Garden located at Eric McKinnon Park. “We support any initiative, such as the creation of a National Local Food Day, which helps to build awareness about the importance of a healthy and sustainable local food supply in our community.”

“There is a growing movement across the country that understands how much local food matters to com-munities, from farm to fork,” said Stetski. “Ensuring that Canadians have access to healthy, affordable food and sustainable food systems need to be national priorities. Sup-porting and celebrating local farm-ers, manufactures and retailers in every community across Canada is essential to achieving these goals.”

Clark seeks to bring home B.C. aboriginal belongings, artwork

Dirk meissnerCanadian Press

VICTORIA - Aboriginal artwork, re-galia and ancestral remains taken over centuries from British Columbia First Nations and placed in museums, uni-versities and private collections must come home, Premier Christy Clark said Tuesday.

Clark chose National Aboriginal Day to announce a joint government, First Nations and Royal B.C. Museum effort to repatriate aboriginal items that were removed from the province.

The premier said there is a treasure trove of artifacts and ancestral remains

from B.C. First Nations scattered around the world and she wants to help get them back.

Flanked by about a dozen First Na-tions chiefs and aboriginal leaders, Clark said cultural items, of which many are human and grave remains, are trapped and crying to return to their homes.

“It is long past time that those items of such spiritual significance to First Nations in B.C. found their way home to those communities,” Clark told a news conference at the museum. “It is time for those institutions that have taken them away to give them back.”


T here’s no way I can get away from the fact that Clarence is my cousin. He is English, eccentric and, what is

more, a hopeless romantic. He is hopelessly romantic about the women he encounters and they include all females who are not actually octoge-narians. He meets one; he falls hopelessly in love with her immediately just the way he apparently did last week when he met the girl on Eager Hill.

You see, Clarence was visiting me here in the Kootenays from the wilds of Birmingham in central England and had imagined that he’d find us here in some wilderness paradise filled with Noble Savages living idyllic natural ways, just the way Rousseau imagined a couple of centu-ries ago.

He enjoyed the drive with me from the Calgary Airport and positively drooled over the National Parks and even the trip down the valley from Radium, but I have no idea where my cousin Clarence has been for the length of his life. He didn’t smell musty but managed to look that way and obviously hasn’t been far from his home and the hallowed halls of some uni-versity or other, but he was quite disap-pointed when I got him to my home here in Cranbrook.

It wasn’t wild enough here.Even the community forest didn’t en-

thrall him as we ran into (and were often run into) cyclists or local folk with herds of dogs and, besides, the trails were marked and named, as well as extremely confus-ing.

I tried hard to get him into the local mountains but he is somewhat portly and the weather was refus-ing to co-operate so I de-cided to take him up some local hill and let him savour some wilderness. Then a better idea occurred to me.

I sent him off on his own, without benefit of the amenities of civilization and so bold-ly Clarence set off up Eager Hill armed only with a bear spray, a sandwich, a compass, a G.P.S., my cell-phone and my best wish-es.

Apparently, my cousin had a good but nerve-wracking time and, naturally, he ran into a young woman with whom he imme-diately fell head over heels in love.

When I finally rounded him up an hour later than planned, he was in a state of eu-phoria and positively babbling about his adventures.

He claimed that he’d almost encoun-tered a bear, ursus arctos horribilis, ac-cording to him, some caribou (like rein-deer)from a distance, several other deer (jumping deer, probably mulies), a gigan-tic eagle soaring above as Clarence ate his frugal lunch (most likely a vulture) and

many rodentia (gophers?).But what excited him most was his en-

counter with the native maiden, a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s tragic Minniha-ha, Laughing Water, a dryad of the woods.

Clarence had apparently had run into her as he was nearing the parking lot where I had been waiting for ages, won-dering if my cousin had got himself thor-oughly lost and he, naturally, had fallen head hopelessly in love with her. I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had dropped down on one knee and begged her to marry him and bear his children. But he would have been out of luck as, when I had last seen the lady, she was sporting ear-phones and probably enjoying Brahms as she walked.

Clarence apparently did try to speak to the ‘first nations’ waif and she did doff her ear-phones to be polite to the potty old fellow but it must have been an interesting conversation as she endeavoured to ex-plain that she had seen me, his cousin, waiting anxiously a wee bit down the trail.

That charming native girl was none other than Filomena, a thoroughly Italian young lady, who has a master’s degree in economics, speaks several languages and has a marvellous sense of humour, but I didn’t tell Clarence all that before he set off happily to Birmingham in Britain. That might have spoiled his idyllic trip to the wild and woolly west.

Clarence, as nature intended

1904Chance for Cranbrook ... Sometime

next week this district will be visited by the Hon. Richard McBride, premier of this province, and the Hon. Robert Green, min-ister of mines. It is understood that their program includes a stop at Moyie, Cran-brook and Fernie, and later a journey up the Kootenay valley to Windermere and Golden. As Cranbrook is to be visited by the two leading ministers of the provincial cabinet, it will be a splendid opportunity to show to these gentlemen the beauties of Cranbrook, the advantages it enjoys from its central location, its present prosperity and its importance as one of the chief towns of the interior. It will also be an op-portunity to show them some of the needs of this part of the district, including the bridge over the St. Mary’s at the mouth of Perry creek, buildings for the government offices, a jail large enough to accommo-date the prisoners at the seat of govern-ment in such an important district, a jailor to look after the prisoners, and a few other things of lesser importance. It will be an opportunity for the people to show the Cranbrook way of progress and the Cran-brook spirit of cordiality that has always characterized the town and the people. Cranbrook should improve all chances presented.

Mackie in trouble … Last Saturday’s Winnipeg Free Press contained an account of the arrest of George Mackie, Canadian Northern agent at Port Arthur, for embez-zling $300. It is presumably the same Mackie that was operator in Cranbrook about two years ago. He says that he was led into gambling, but the railway boys here say that he was a regular card fiend when in Cranbrook.

Emery’s body found ... The body of Emery, the man who was caught in the snow slide in the Windermere country last winter, was found last Saturday by T. T. McVittie and Mr. Lundie. It will be remem-bered that Emery was a member of Mr. McVittie’s surveying party at the time of the accident and the other members of the party had a very narrow escape. The re-mains were brought to Fort Steele and the funeral services held Monday afternoon at 1.30, Rev. Fortune, of this town, officiating. The funeral was largely attended as the deceased was well known through this part of the district.

The Annie Laurie romance ... The ro-mance which has so many years surround-ed Miss Annie Laurie has been dissolved, the young lady having been married in Cranbrook last week. The gentleman who was so fortunate as to win the hand of the young lady about which the balladist has written ‘‘he’d lay me down and dee,” was Robert J. Laurie. The bride, contrary to tra-dition, came from Chatham, Ont., and there is nothing to show that she ever lived at Maxwelton’s braes or even in that vicinity.

The picture season … This is the time of year to secure the proper impressions of the natural beauties of South East Koote-nay. The way to do it is to take a photo-graph of the scenes viewed. Have you a KODAK? If not you should. And everything in the way of supplies can be found at Be-attie’s Big Book and Drug Store. Our Mail Order business continues to grow.

Needed … What Cranbrook wants and wants badly is a real sprinkling cart that will settle the dust. The dust the past week

has been almost unbearable and a source of much loss to the business men on the main streets.

A great catch ... C. A. Chapman and his partner J. White have accomplished what is considered almost impossible, the cap-turing of two young mountain goats alive. This was done on White river in the Rocky Mountains, after lots of hard work and dangerous climbing. Mr. Chapman, who was in town last week, in speaking about their success, said “It is not an easy task by any means. A mountain goat will start to climb up the mountain side at the first alarm, and they always stay a long ways up so that they are pretty free from interrup-tion. It is only possible to capture the kids, and that has to be done when they are only a few days’ old, and yet too young to follow the mother in her wild rush for the highest peaks. We figured on this and after a great deal of patient searching and waiting, we aroused a mother and her kid. But after a great struggle we failed to catch the kid. Later we had better luck and secured two. But in doing it I went over places that I would not go over again for all of British Columbia. But in the excitement and de-sire to affect the capture of the goat, one did not stop to think of the danger. We had considerable trouble with them the first few days as we could not get them to take nourishment, but now they will eat out of my hand without any trouble.” Mr. Chap-man does not know what he will do with them, as he has not found a purchaser. Owing to the difficulty in capturing them, and the fact that very few have ever been taken alive, the price is very high, and Mr. Chapman and his partner may realize two or three thousand dollars for the little pets.

School’s out … On Friday of this week—the last Friday in June —the public schools will hold their last session. The usual clos-ing exercises will take place in the morning from nine to twelve. No session will be held in the afternoon. Parents and all oth-ers interested in education are invited to come to the school on Friday morning. Owing to there being no assembly hall in connection with the school, no extended program can be carried out. It is hoped, however, that the new flag may be run up with appropriate ceremonies. Addresses will be given by prominent citizens. Some of the rooms will have short programs; in others a few of the usual lessons will be conducted with a view to having the visi-tors see the usual work that is carried on. The vacation extends to August 15th.

1905

Lacrosse … The Fernie lacrosse team found itself decidedly out of its element in the game with the locals last Friday after-noon. The visitors worked hard but were outpointed at every stage of the contest and hadn’t the ghost of a show. Despite the efforts of the home team to keep the score down it seemed impossible to prevent it rolling up to 9 - 0. This was the first game for Cranbrook, and the showing of our boys came not only as a shock to the Fern-ie aggregation, but also as a surprise to local lacrosse enthusiasts.

Man-eating grizzly bear ... There has been quite a sensation up in The north fork of Kettle river the last few days over the appearance of a monster grizzly bear which has been robbing the various cabins of all available provisions. Max Kuntz, an old time prospector in this section, who has just returned from a trip to Franklin camp, in an interview last evening said “I encountered the largest grizzly bear I ever saw in my life the other day on the east fork of the north river, the bear was fully ten feet in length, and made a track 16 inches long. I was on foot when I saw the bear but not far from my team, the bear came after me on the run, when I succeeded in reaching my wagon and drove off. When I left Frank-lin camp yesterday there was talk of orga-nizing a searching party to hunt the bear down. From all I can learn the grizzly is a monster man eater, as he has just recently chased several prospectors who narrowly escaped death.”

First flower show ... The first flower show ever attempted in British Columbia, outside of Victoria city will be a special fu-ture of the Dominion Day attraction in Nelson this year. The committee having the show in charge is made up of Fred Star-key, chairman; G. O. Buchanan, of Kaslo, T. G. Proctor, Fred Irvine and A. D. Emory. Some good prizes are offered.

Football banquet ... When the Fernie football team comes here to-morrow to contest with a picked eleven of this city for the supremacy in juggling the inflated pig-skin, they will be welcomed in “royal” style. A reception committee will meet them at the station and escort them to the famous hospitality of the Cranbrook Hotel. That night a swell banquet has been arranged for at the Cranbrook, to which the players and the officers of the Association have been invited. The affair is given by the business men of the town who are con-nected with the 1905 Cranbrook Football Association as officers. A splendid pro-gram is in course of preparation, and it is dollars to doughnuts that a rare, good time is in store.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Richard McBride (1870 – 1917) is often considered the founder of the British Columbia Conservative Party.

It’s 1904 — What are you waiting for? Get yourself a Kodak!

Dynamiters deal Hunt to hometown Leafs

Ketola, future considerations head to Kimberley in exchange for veteran

TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO

Veteran forward Sawyer Hunt (above) celebrates a goal against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks during 2016 KIJHL post-season action at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Hunt was dealt from the Kimberley Dynamiters to the Nelson Leafs in exchange for forward Nicholas Ketola and future considerations on Tuesday.

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor

Sawyer Hunt is going home.Derek Stuart, head coach and

general manager of the Kimberley Dynamiters, announced the trade of Hunt (1997) to the Nelson Leafs in exchange for forward Nicholas Ketola (1997) and future consider-ations Tuesday afternoon.

“With the amount of guys that are leaving, [Ketola] has a great opportunity to take a top spot and be a guy who can be relied on of-fensively and defensively,” Stuart said Tuesday. “I’ve been told he’s a good skater and a very good kid and good teammate.

“He seems excited to come here. Fitting in, he won’t have a problem and he has a chance to be a real impact player, both this year and next year.”

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Hunt is a native of Nelson. Ac-cording to Stuart, Hunt requested a trade home in May and after some extended conversation, a deal was struck with the Leafs to make that possible.

Key to the transaction for Stu-art was the inclusion of Ketola, a 6-foot-1, 165-pound native of Mead, Wash., who posted five goals and seven assists in 46 reg-ular season games before adding a goal and an assist in four playoff games during the 2015-16 cam-paign with the Leafs.

“[Getting a serviceable roster player] was very important,” Stu-art said. “That’s why it took prob-ably five or six weeks to get this deal done. With Hunt leaving and

probably being one of our team’s top forwards, it was very import-ant to get something we could show [in return] for him.

“[Ketola] is definitely a player that has been in the league, but was also excited to come and is going to report and be a Dyna-miter for two years. That was ex-tremely important.”

Hunt emerged as an effective top-nine threat for the Dynamit-ers last season, producing career highs across the board, including 14 goals, 21 assists and 35 points in 45 regular season games.

During the Nitros run to the 2016 KIJHL final, the gritty Hunt was often one of the best for-wards on the ice for head coach Jerry Bancks. Through 19 post-season outings, the good-natured Hunt registered five goals, 11 assists and 16 points.

Hunt was around for the Dy-namiters 2015 KIJHL champion-ship and subsequent silver-med-al performance at the 2015 Cy-clone Taylor Cup.

He is expected to attend train-ing camp with the Surrey Eagles of the British Columbia Hockey

League this coming fall, so there’s a chance he might not suit up in the KIJHL this season.

Should he not make the grade at the Junior A level, Hunt’s trade request came in hopes of finish-ing out his career and schooling at home in Nelson.

The speedy forward attended camp with the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in 2015-16 and made the team out of camp, staying for a short stint before being returned to Kimberley.

In 89 career KIJHL regular sea-son games from 2013-14 through 2015-16, all with the Nitros, Hunt amassed 20 goals, 32 assists and 52 points, while adding five goals and 19 points in 35 career KIJHL post-season contests.

The 2015-16 campaign marked Ketola’s rookie season in the KIJHL.

Stuart still has plenty of work to do as he retools a Dynamiters roster that is in the midst of mas-sive turnover, with key cogs like Jason Richter, Jared Marchi, Eric Buckley, Jordan Busch, Justin Meier, Tyson Brouwer and now Hunt striking out new paths.

Richter, Buckley, Meier and Brouwer are all set to join the up-start ACHA Div. 1 men’s hockey program out of the University of Jamestown, while Busch is head-ed to Concordia University of Ed-monton. Marchi aged out at the conclusion of 2015-16.

The Cranbrook Ban-dits continued to ex-change blows with op-ponents, earning splits with the Glacier Twins and Mission Valley Mar-iners in American Le-gion Baseball action south of the border this past weekend.

The Bandits (12-9-0) opened the weekend with a resounding 14-2 victory over the Twins in Whitefish, Mont., before dropping the backend of the doubleheader by a 9-2 final.

Sunday, Cranbrook’s boys of summer were off to Polson, Mont., where they dropped a 10-5 de-cision to the Mariners before bouncing back with a 12-0 shutout vic-tory to close the week-end.

Saturday’s 14-2 tri-umph saw the Bandits jump out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the second inning, taking control of the contest.

Rookie Brandon Thorn went the dis-tance, pitching seven innings of two-run baseball, scattering seven hits and one walk, while striking out two batters. Eli Thomas took the loss for the Twins, lasting two innings and surrendering five runs (two earned).

Offensively for the Bandits, Linden Meg-gison and Tyler Thorn chipped in with three RBI each, while Kei

Chlopan scored four runs.

Glacier’s 9-2 win came on the strength of an eight-run effort in the bottom of the third in-ning. Jake Bromley took the loss on the mound for Cranbrook, going 2.1 innings and surrender-ing eight runs (four earned) on four hits.

Brandon Thomas went five innings to earn the victory for the Twins, striking out four batters.

Sunday in Polson, the Bandits were doubled up 10-5 in the opener, with Zach Evertz claim-ing the win, firing three innings of two-run base-ball (zero earned). For the Bandits, Dan Mer-candelli was saddled with his first loss of the campaign lasting 3.1 in-nings as he allowed nine runs (four earned) on seven hits.

After the tough deci-sion to start the day, the Bandits wrapped up the weekend in dominant fashion as veteran Tyler Thorn led his squad to a 12-0 win over the Mari-ners.

Thorn went the dis-tance, throwing five in-nings of three-hit base-ball, striking out three batters en route to the shutout win.

Meggison was once again instrumental on offense, hammering four RBI and scoring twice himself, going 3-for-3 at the dish along with drawing a walk.

Next up, the Bandits head south of the bor-

der once again for the 2016 Big Bucks Tourna-ment from June 23 to 26 in Libby, Mont.

Play gets underway Thursday as the host Loggers take on the Moscow Blue Devils.

The Bandits open the tournament Friday af-

ternoon when they face the Coeur d’Alene Lum-bermen. From there, the Bandits take on the Tri-County Cardinals Saturday morning be-fore facing the Lewis & Clark Cubs that after-noon.

Sunday will serve as the championship round with the first-place teams from each pool playing for the crown.

The Bandits are ex-pected to be without seven veteran players this weekend due to

graduation ceremonies in Cranbrook and Kim-berley. The conflict will provide ample opportu-nity for some of the Ban-dits’ young practice ros-ter charges to get some time on the diamond.

After the Big Bucks Tournament in Libby, the Bandits return home for midweek action at Confederation Park as the Mission Valley Mari-ners visit Cranbrook for a doubleheader on Wednesday, June 29, beginning at 1 p.m.

CorreCtion

In an article on page 15 in the Tuesday, June 21 edition of The Townsman and The Bulletin about Kimberley golfer Jared du Toit, it was incorrectly stat-ed that du Toit was listed 85th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings. With his recent performance, du Toit has jumped up the World Amateur Golf Rankings and currently sits 67th as of Tuesday, June 21.

Taylor rocc aLongtime Kootenay

Ice head coach Ryan McGill is sticking around Owen Sound for another year.

McGill signed a two-year contract with the Ontario Hockey League’s Owen Sound Attack last summer after a mutual parting of ways with the Western Hockey League’s Kootenay Ice.

Monday afternoon, the Attack announced McGill had signed a one-year extension with the club, keeping him under wraps through the 2017-18 season.

“We are thrilled to have Ryan with us through the 2017-18 sea-son,” said Dale DeGray, general manager of the Attack, in a team release. “It was Ryan’s desire to stay and a priority for us to have him here, so this is a very positive step for our organization moving forward.”

The 2015-16 cam-paign saw the 47-year-old McGill lead the At-tack to a record of 33-25-8-3, good enough for a sixth-place finish in the OHL’s Western Confer-ence. The Attack lost out to the eventual Memori-al Cup champion Lon-don Knights in a six-game first round playoff series.

“My first year in Owen Sound was fan-tastic,” McGill said in a team release. “The city, the people and the up-ward trajectory of this team are all positive. I’m very excited about this team and the direction we’re headed in.

“We have a very strong group of core players. There’s a lot of work to be done, but fans should be excited about what this young team has to offer.”

A native of Sherwood Park, Alta., McGill claimed his 300th junior hockey victory this past season with the Attack.

Prior to his time in

Ontario, McGill was a fixture at the helm of many successful Koote-nay Ice teams through-out franchise history.

He was the second coach in franchise his-tory, taking over from Dave Siciliano midway through the 1997-98 season when the team was in the midst of its final days in Edmonton.

That stint carried through the 2001-02 season, highlighted by a pair of WHL titles (2000 and 2002) as well as a Memorial Cup champi-onship (2002).

After eight seasons in the professional ranks (2002-03 through 2010-11), McGill returned to Cranbrook for his sec-ond stint with the Ice in 2012-13. That season, he was named WHL Coach of the Year and then took on a role as assistant coach with Team Canada’s entry into the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship.

In eight seasons be-hind the Kootenay Ice bench, McGill registered a record of 280-222-53.

and the upward trajectory of this

team are all positive. I’m very excited about

this team and the direction we’re

headed in.”Ryan McGill

In addition to the ac-quisition of Ketola, Stu-art also indicated the Dynamiters will co-host an invite-only showcase camp with the AJHL’s Calgary Canucks from Aug. 12 to 14 in Calgary.

“We’re sending in-vites out and being a lit-tle selective,” Stuart said. “I’ve sent out about 20 to 30 invites myself and I think the Canucks have sent over 50 [invites].

“If any of the kids might not be of interest to the Canucks, they might be of interest to us and we get the chance

to look at some players we might not have been able to get to main camp or maybe didn’t even know about.

“On the other hand, there are some top-end recruits that I’m trying to get to our camp that are going to come to this camp. So I’ll get a better idea on them as well. It

gives us an early look at some of our guys and gives us [an opportuni-ty] at any of the players the Canucks aren’t in-terested in.”

Stuart served on the coaching staff of current Canucks head coach James Poole during his time as the head coach of the Okotoks Oilers.

Stuart was hired May 9 as the new head coach and general manager of the Dynamiters, taking over from Bancks, who retired at the conclusion of 2015-16.

Dear Annie: Our card game is in a quan-dary. We have one member who is having memory problems. “Greta” asks the same rule questions many times. It hinders the playing and often unintentionally relays in-formation to the opposing players. We all care about Greta and would never want to hurt her. Where do we go from here? It is the only day available for each of us, as we all have other commitments. We also know that any one of us could be next, so we’d appreciate a solution to help us in the future. -- A Bridge Too Far Dear Bridge: The slow pace of Greta’s play-ing cannot be helped, so please be tolerant. Also, has she spoken to her doctor about her memory issues? There may be things going on that can be treated. Please suggest it. Meanwhile, can you ask Greta to whisper her questions to her partner so that others cannot overhear? Is there someone who can act as an impartial assistant? Can you write down the basic rules on a piece of paper and place it next to Greta’s seat so she can refer to it without asking? Is it possible to alter the rules to make the game easier to fol-low or so that the information passed along is irrelevant? Would you consider playing a different game? Ultimately, the issues you have with Greta will become more pronounced as time goes on, and at some point, she may be unable to play this game altogether. But it’s a kindness to allow her to continue as long as possible. Dear Annie: My heart breaks for “The Family Mistake,” the 12-year-old boy whose family doesn’t appreciate him. Until I read his letter, I thought I was the only one who suffered like this. I’m 55 years old and com-pletely cut off from my family. I still struggle with depression, anxiety, anger and feelings of worthlessness. I never had any children of my own because I felt like they would be “mistakes,” too. I wholeheartedly disagree with one writer’s suggestion that the boy should respond to insults by saying he will take care of his par-ents in their old age. People said this to my mother and she groomed me for that care-giving job, which is what I ended up doing for 10 years. My older siblings said that justi-fied my existence. My life did not begin until my parents died. For the first time in my life, I have found someone who really loves me. We will be married soon. I am finally happy, but I still have problems with self-esteem and depres-sion. The saddest part is, out of the five of us, I was the best student and an accomplished musician. I should have been the one to have children. Instead, I felt like a servant. I hope that 12-year-old boy fares better than I did. -- Mistake in Cape Cod Dear Cape Cod: We hope you will continue with therapy to build your self-esteem and handle your depression. But we are delight-ed that you have found happiness, finally, and we wish you the best on your upcoming wedding. You deserve it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have the drive and fol-low-through to get where you want to go. You might not be aware of how provocative you can be. If you are the recipient of any hostility, understand that it could have to do with someone being jealous of you. Tonight: Hang with your friends.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might want to say some-thing to a close friend, but opt not to as you realize this person might read your comments as coming from jealousy. You gain insight into how another per-son reacts; you might not be comfortable with what you are seeing. Tonight: In the middle of nearly everything.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You can see through a friend’s reactions. Know that this doesn’t mean you need to give this person any feedback; he or she might not be able to hear what you say anyway. Later in the day, you’ll want to address a matter

involving those at a distance. Tonight: Follow the music.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others have been dominant as of late. As a result, you could have difficulty putting in your two cents. Make it clear that you need to have a discussion with someone in your life who is very important. A one-on-one chat proves to be far more fluid. Tonight: Make it cuddly.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Decide to rid yourself of as much as you can today. You will want to be free later in the day. You could be overwhelmed by trying to squeeze too much into a few hours. Unexpected news comes your way. Adjust accordingly, and it will work out. Tonight: Don’t be alone.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have an unusual gift of com-ing up with solutions from out of left field. You have a strong sense of what you want to accomplish and what can be accomplished right now. Curb a desire to take off early in the day. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Don’t indulge a desire to cocoon right now. You have a lot on your plate and no time to fool around. Be more observant of others, or else you might be surprised by someone’s actions. This person’s body language speaks volumes. Tonight: Opt for a wild midweek break.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could be a bit tired of seeing the same old patterns emerge. Someone has a unique and not necessarily agreeable way of communicating. This person is unlikely to change. Accept this fact, and you will be a lot more content in your interactions. To-night: Happily head home.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to consider an offer that comes in from out of left field and involves your fi-nances. As good as it may look, someone might be leaving out a key detail. Your sense of humor will come into play when you realize the mistake. Tonight: Someone is looking for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Continue being a little self-in-dulgent. However, if you are

going to worry about everything while you’re off doing what you want, then reconsider. You have the skills and the efficiency to do what is needed and also take some time to yourself. Tonight: Others smile when you smile.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be ready to take your day in a new direction. Just because you have plans does not mean you have to turn down an opportuni-ty to make more desirable choic-es. A surprise could head your way that encourages a change in your schedule. Tonight: Some-one finds you very desirable.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will draw in much more of what you want. Touch base with someone at a distance who means a lot to you. As a result, you will feel far more content. Recognize that you don’t have time for daydreaming; focus on what needs to be done. Tonight: Get some R and R.BORN TODAYSinger Cyndi Lauper (1953), singer/songwriter Kris Krist-offerson (1936), actress Meryl Streep (1949)

C arStar Cranbrook (Signal Collision) is set-ting out to make an impact in the fight against cystic fibrosis.

CarStar is soaping it up, Friday, June 24 — cleaning and shining up cars while celebrating CarStar’s 13th annual “Soaps It Up” charity car wash, as part of CarStar’s Shine Month for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. This year, Soaps It Up is part of CarStar’s Shine Month, with more than 100 CarStar locations taking part. In Cranbrook, CarStar volun-teers and members of the Cranbrook Boys And Girls Club will be raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club.

The car wash takes place by the Boys and Girls Club (beside the Kinsmen Arena) 1432 2nd Street North, Friday, June 24. The car wash itself runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a hotdog barbecue will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. People can participate by buying a ticket for a minimum dona-tion of five dollars. You can even get tickets in ad-vance, at CarStar Cranbrook (Signal Collision) at 16 Cobham Avenue West.

Cystic Fibrosis is a multi-system disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system. It is the most common fatal genetic disease affect Ca-nadian children and young adults. Each week in Canada, two children are diagnosed with cystic fi-brosis, and one person dies from the disease. There is no cure.

Over the past decade, Soaps It Up has achieved several significant milestones, including: Helping to raise $2.5 million for Cystic Fibrosis Canada; setting a Guinness World Record for the largest car wash in 2009 — and breaking its own record two years later; and creating the country’s first Dirty Car Art Exhibit to inspire hope across Canada and support the search for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Angela DeSantisJanuary 1, 1920 – June 16, 2016

We wish to announce the peaceful passing of a true matriarch, Angela DeSantis. She was 96 years old. Angela was born in Amato, Catanzaro, Italy and was the 2nd eldest of 7 children. In 1940, her and Antonio DeSantis were married in Amato, Italy. They immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta in 1953 to raise their two daughters, Tina and Lina. In 1972, Angela and

Antonio moved to Cranbrook, BC where their daughters were residing. Angela was a custodian at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce until her retirement.

Angela’s passion was gardening and cooking for whomever came to visit. She had many massive and productive fruit trees that were started from seeds randomly thrown in her yard. The neighbours in the area of Parkland Middle School always admired her magnifi cent vegetable garden.

Angela will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by her daughters, Tina (Gus) Fiorentino and Lina (Angelo) Fiorentino as well as three sisters Concetta Masi (Kelowna); Carmela Chiodo (Edmonton); and Ettilia Abuisi (Torino, Italy). She is also survived by her 6 grandchildren Jim (Connie) Fiorentino; Sandie (Mike) Anderson; Christine (Dave) Claypool; Johnny (Adrianne) Fiorentino; Julie (Mike) Fiorentino and Robbie (Norrie) Fiorentino. Her long and fulfi lling life provided many memories with 12 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren.

Angela was preceded in death by her husband Antonio; brothers Gaetano and Alessandro; sister Maria and great-grandson Joshua Anderson.

We sincerely thank her physician, Dr. Kevin McIver. His genuine compassion, guidance and care has left an indelible mark on our hearts. Thank you to the wonderful nurses on the 3rd fl oor at the hospital. They took such good care of her this past month. We also wish to thank the staff at Joseph Creek Village for making the last years of her life so enjoyable. A special thank you to her neighbor, Rosa Caccavo, for faithfully visiting Angela and helping her adjust to assisted living.

Those wishing to remember Angela can make donations to a charity of their choice.

A funeral mass for Angela will be held on Saturday, June 25th at 10:00 am at Christ The Servant Catholic Church, 1100 14th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC.

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

Adam Noah Anders Buch“Noah”

2001 – 2016It is with profound sorrow that the family of Noah Buch announces his sudden passing on Monday, June 13, 2016 in Cranbrook at 14 years of age.

Noah was born on December 17, 2001 in Cranbrook. He lived every day to the fullest and wanted to try all opportunities. He love fi shing, kayaking, the ocean, dogsledding and dirt biking. Noah had a kind, loving

heart and would never leave your side when you needed him the most. He never missed an opportunity to have a little ‘fun’ with you either!

Noah will be desperately missed by his mother Cassandra, father Adam, sisters Laurel and Freya, grandparents Adam and Linda, grandmother Tish, grandfather Pete (Lois), aunts and uncles Matt (Jenna), Marlaina (Ross), Ryan and Jillian, cousins Aberaham, Vinice, and Fletcher, countless wonderful relatives, some who have traveled from far away to be with us, his second brother Tyler and family Steve, Dorothy, Amanda and Brett, many other friends including Steve and Colby, his dog Ewok and his leopard gecko Stevie.

Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Noah may do so to the: Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Stars Foundation or to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
