The City of Kimberley will be sending a letter of apprecia-tion to Columbia River Revel-stoke MLA Norm Macdonald to thank him for his efforts on behalf of the city over their re-cent concerns regarding log-ging in the Mark Creek water-shed.

“I feel we should thank him for the work he has done,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. “He went beyond what was required and helped Kimberley out.”

Macdonald met with Minis-ter Thomson to make him aware of the city’s concerns, and Thomson then set up a meeting with BC Timber Sales staff, both provincial and local, which. Macdonald met with both those groups.

The issue arose when Coun-cil became concerned with some proposed cutblocks in Mark Creek that they feared would directly affect water quality in Kimberley and po-tentially lead to the need for a filtration plant. In addition, BC Timber Sales had applied to the province for three cut-blocks that they did not in-clude in information sent in a letter to the City of Kimberley.

Council voted at their reg-ular meeting on February 9, 2016 to send a letter to BC Timber Sales in opposition to the proposed cut blocks. They also reached out to Macdon-ald for assistance.

“We had a couple of dis-cussions with him (MLA Mac-donald) and he certainly knows our feelings on this,” said Mayor Don McCormick,

who then told Council that it appeared the situation was being resolved.

“BC Timber Sales seems to have settled back in and are negotiating in good faith with the watershed committee, which is all we expected in the first place.”

Coun. Albert Hoglund, who has sat on the watershed committee for years said the situation was brought to a head by a change in manage-ment at BC Timber Sales.

“BC Timber Sales always had two people on the water-shed committee and they knew how it operated. The new guy just said, ‘here’s the plan’, not realizing they al-ways brought it to the com-mittee first. If the committee had concerns, changes were made by BC Timber Sales.

They listened to us. The new manager did nothing wrong, he just didn’t do what was usually done in the past with the committee. Hopefully, it’s behind us.”

But Hoglund wared that BC Timber Sales was propos-ing a lot of new cut blocks. “It’s not just the pine beetle they are after anymore, they are going to log.”

BC Timber Sales (BCTS) was founded in 2003 with a mandate to provide the cost and price benchmarks for timber harvested from public land in British Columbia. Through 12 Business Areas and an operational presence in 33 locations, BCTS manag-es some 20 percent of the pro-vincial Crown allowable an-nual cut.

Dirtbag weekend looms, Kimberley. The two Dirtbag shows on Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26 give one and all a chance to relish the dirtbag life-style, where the nine to five grind is exchanged for a life of adventure.

The festival offers a selection of film, images and stories by Dirtbags, those who are willing to sacrifice and drop at a moments notice: their

jobs, their family, their income and their homes in search of adventure.

It will feature 15 short films and slideshows filmed or produced lo-cally. They embody the true source of inspira-tion for dirtbags, which, at the end of the day, is simply having a good time. The films range from the quirky to the serious; from the silly and fun to downright epic.

Mayor Don McCor-mick has every right to bring the flat tax issue back to Council next week, says Coun. Kent Goodwin — as mayor that’s his prerogative — but he’s not sure any-thing will change.

Goodwin led the charge on reducing the flat tax by $80 this year, and a further $80 for the next ten years until it’s been eliminated. That vote passed Council last week with Goodwin, Nigel Kitto, Darryl Oak-ley and Bev Middle-brook voting for it.

Mayor Don McCor-mick is against the move, fearing it will lead less people to want to build in Kimberley, and he has indicated he’s bringing the issue back to ask Council to recon-sider.

Goodwin says he has good reason to want the

flat tax eliminated, mainly because owners of lower income proper-ties are paying an unfair proportion of taxes.

“Since the early 1990s, we’ve been taxing lower value properties more and giving high value properties a break,” he said. “The province never intended for the flat tax to be a major part of taxation.

Tre vor Cr awleyThe East Kootenay

Regional Science Fair was once again well rep-resented as 148 students participated in 128 proj-ects themed on the sci-ence of sport and health at the beginning of March.

Three projects—two out of the Fernie Acade-my—are going to the Canada Wide Science Fair in Montreal in May. Sienna Longo with her project Growing Pains and Emma Morgan, with Measuring Knee

Stress with a Mechani-cal Model are both Grade 8 and 9 students respectively, out of Fernie. Rory Smith, a Grade 9 student at Lau-rie Middle School, will also head to Quebec with his project on the

effects of polyphenols on E-coli bacteria, rep-resenting as the best of the EKRSF.

The science fair—hosted in the College of the Rockies’ gymnasi-um—had many volun-teers helping out in var-

ious capacities, includ-ing 49 professional judges, six people run-ning data entry for every project, 10 facilitators that were education stu-dents from the COTR education program and businesses that bring

exhibits and offer sci-ence professionals to judge projects.

However, it was two days of more than just showcasing science projects, as guest speak-ers gave presentations based on the theme of

Sport and health on tap at science fairthe fair. Dr. Dean Kriel-lars gave lectures on physical literacy, multi-sport activities, move-ment preparation and the art and science of the circus.

Cory Cameron, an athletic consultant with the Kootenay Ice, spoke on the hot topic of con-cussions in youth sports, while Rob Niedermayer and Joel Savage—both retired NHL players—spoke about their own experiences in profes-sional hockey focusing on injuries and prepara-tion.

On the second day of the fair, the Association of Professional Engi-neers and Geoscientists of B.C. held their popu-lar bridge building con-test, where students can build bridges using spe-cific criteria then see how much pressure they can withstand during demolition.

The majority of the students in the fair came from the Fernie Acade-my, Kootenay Orchards, Elkford Secondary and home schoolers. The fair has a committee of seven members that or-ganize the event, with support from the school district, parents, COTR, community and local businesses.

The Canada-Wide Science Fair, hosted by Montreal in May, fea-tures 500 of the coun-try’s top young scientists showcasing their proj-ects.

Over $1 million is up for grabs in awards, prizes and scholarships and attendees will get the chance to hear from some of the global world leaders in the science and technology fields.

Spring has defi-nitely come to my area of

Marysville. The early purple spring iris (iris reticulata – plant in the fall for spring blooms) and the crocus are hap-pily blooming, and the white February Daphne has opened its flower buds in bloom. The tu-lips (protected from the deer) are up, but no flower buds yet. The fall-planted garlic is coming up, and several perennials are showing new spring growth. However, in checking the state of my garden beds, I can see I will need to be more proac-tive in protecting my pe-rennials and shrubs against the deer this fall. If the deer are nibbling at your shrubs this spring, spray them with diluted or a ready-to-use Bobbex sprayer. If they are nibbling new shoots, such as hya-cinths, daffodils, coral bells, campanula or cro-cus, then sprinkle blood meal on the shoots. Use caution if you have pets that might lick the blood meal up, in case it makes them nauseous.

A couple of days ago – one of the non-rainy ones – I checked the soil where I want to grow sweet peas and found much to my surprise that it wasn’t frozen

solid, so the next sunny day, I will give the sweet peas an early start and cross my fingers for lush growth and lots of flow-ers this summer. Ap-parently sweet peas can be planted in the fall just before freeze-up, but when I planted garlic last fall, I made the erro-neous assumption that everything would freeze soon, and instead, we had warm weather. Some of the garlic came up in the fall, then froze. It will be interesting to see if new shoots come this spring.

It’s not too late to start tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers or flower seeds indoors. If you have a warm, sunny window, or a full spec-trum grow light (full spectrum tubes work well and are cheaper than metal halide lights), here’s your chance to get growing early.

At our March 9th meeting, Todd Larsen, Executive Director of the East Kootenay Inva-sive Plant Council gave a presentation to our members, supplement-ed with handouts and books we could look through when the pre-sentation was over. It was a very informative and interesting presen-tation, and Todd pa-tiently answered the many questions that sprang up. We all came away now knowing what

these invasive weeds look like, what not to plant in our gardens, and what we can plant instead. We learned that Japanese Knot-weed, also known as “bamboo” is very inva-sive and almost impos-sible to get rid of. Bet-ter alternatives to plant instead of knotweed are Red-osier Dogwood or Peegee Hydrangea. One of the handouts showed pictures of the invasive plants, and underneath each pic-ture were two sugges-tions of what to plant instead. The East Koo-tenay Invasive Plant Council has a program to help farmers and homeowners to get rid of invasive weeds through the Neigh-bourhood Invasive Plant Program. More information can be found at www.ekipc.com.

P.M. PRaISeS DoWNINg BoYA display of courage

on the part of 13 year old Melvin Downing, Mc-Dougall Townsite has been recognized by Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent.

In February of this year, while Melvin`s fa-ther and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. Downing, were visiting neigh-bours, a transformer in a radio caught fire, ignit-ing the wall of the house. A large mirror was re-leased by the flames and

crashed to the floor, awakening Melvin, who was sleeping in a base-ment room. On coming upstairs he took in the situation and went up-stairs for his baby broth-er, carrying him to safe-ty. He returned to the burning building for his seven year old sister and brought her outside. This display of courage was even more com-mendable considering that Melvin had his arm in a splint, result of a previous hunting acci-dent.

In a letter to Melvin the Prime Minister says:

Dear Melvin:I wish to extend to

you my sincere congrat-ulations on your recent

heroic behaviour when you rescued your sister and baby brother from a fire which damaged your home. Your con-duct on this occasion is evident of your courage and of your brotherly love. By preserving these virtues in small matters as well as in such im-portant ones, I am sure you will retain the admi-ration of your felloe men which you have won for yourself on this occa-sion.

Yours sincerely,LOUIS ST. LAURENT

Work West Kootenay have joined forces to create one dynamic new platform to showcase the Kootenays: Imagine Kootenay. Imagine Koo-tenay (IK) focuses on highlighting the region as a great place to work,

and excellent area to in-vest and an amazing place to live.

“For the past 10 years, Invest Kootenay’s main focus was to pro-mote businesses for sale and investment oppor-tunities in the region, as well as highlighting the advantages of the Koo-tenay lifestyle. Over the years, we have also seen the need to support workforce and talent at-traction activities,” ex-plained Imagine Koote-nay’s Program Manager, Jessica Fairhart.

From page 4“Through this new

partnership we have ex-panded our mandate to support working, living and investment attrac-tion activities through-out the Kootenay region”.

Imagine Kootenay’s new website launched in January 2016 focuses on three pillars:

Imagine Working: Showcasing samples of the diverse employment opportunities and sec-tors in the region, and providing links to job boards in partner com-munities;

Imagine Investing: Free service for opportu-nity holders to post busi-nesses for sale or market new opportunities with over 1800 registered in-vestors; 

Imagine Living: fea-tures lifestyle informa-tion and connections to individual communities.

Prior to the new part-nership, Invest Kootenay had a successful 10-year

history of connecting in-vestors and opportuni-ties in the region via its online directory of busi-nesses for sale in the re-gion and had grown to include 12 partnership communities.

Work West Kootenay (WWK) was a successful workforce recruitment initiative from the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation focused on promoting the benefits of living in working in Trail, Rossland & Area.  The new partner-ship means that the suc-cessful WWK program has been amalgamated into all 12 IK partner communities.

Speaking about the formation of the new or-ganization, Terry Van Horn, Economic Devel-opment Officer at the Lower Columbia Initia-tives Corporation and steering committee member said; “All of the member communities within Invest Kootenay

and Work West Kootenay are delighted with the formation of Imagine Kootenay.

“The objectives of both organizations were so closely linked that joining forces made a lot of sense.

“Imagine Kootenay can now leverage the combined knowledge, momentum and net-works of both previous programs to best pro-mote the opportunities to invest, work and live in the Kootenays”.

Imagine Kootenay is now working to build on the momentum of the two programs through a marketing strategy that aims to promote invest-ment and labour market opportunities in the re-gion.

From page 1“I think it’s time to

get back to normal, to where 158 other com-munities in B.C. are. It seems to me the mill-rate is fairer.”

The other B.C. com-munities with a flat tax are Kitimat, Trail, Dawson Creek and Powell River. Goodwin says Powell is the pro-cess of getting rid of their flat tax.

“Ours is the largest at $786. We also have the $152 aquatic centre parcel tax and $800 or so in utility rates that are the same for every property.”

He believes that knocking off $80 per year on the flat tax and adjusting the millrate accordingly is not going to prove too onerous to those with higher value proper-ties, and doing it over time lessens the im-pact.

“Any unanticipated concerns should be-come apparent as we go along and we can have another look,” Goodwin said.

“The main concern is that homes with above average value will see their millrate tax go higher. If you own an average home, there is no change and if you home is of lower value, you benefit.

“I just have a hard time believing that it will cause people

building higher value homes not to build here.

“I don’t think we should penalize lower value homes. We need to get more business and spread out taxes that way. The mayor has got a great initia-tive going with Cran-brook.

A British journalist compared the huge American delegation (800-1,200 people) that is accompanying

President Barack Obama on his first visit to Havana to Japanese soldiers stumbling out of the jungle to discover that the war ended a generation ago. And the Rolling Stones, who are staging a free concert for half a mil-lion people in the Cuban capital on Friday, explained that Obama was their opening act.

The US embassy in Ha-vana has already reopened, but only the US Congress can end the 55-year-old American trade embargo against Cuba. Under Re-publican control Congress is not going to do that, so this visit is really just a social call. Indeed, it was scheduled to coincide with spring break in US schools so the Obamas could bring their daughters along.

Yet no journalist watching all this can resist speculating about whether this opening portends great political changes in Cuba, maybe even the eventual end of the long dictatorship of the Castro brothers and the Cuban Communist Party. Least of all me, as I have been speculating about that in public, at intervals, for most of my adult life.

I never went to Cuba during the “hero-ic” years when the leadership lived in per-manent fear of American invasion or sub-version, and most Cubans really were ready to fight to defend the revolution. My first visit was in the mid-1980s, when the bloom was already off the revolutionary rose.

Most of Latin America was living under brutal US-backed military dictatorships at the time, and the Cuban dictatorship seemed to me almost gentle by compari-son. It didn’t even kill people much. But Cubans, unable to travel and aware that

the regime’s propaganda usually lied, were in a stroppy mood. If you spoke even a little Spanish, they unloaded their discontent on you.

So I went home and predicted that the regime, if not on its last legs, was at least in its last decade. This did not come to pass on schedule, but when I next went to Cuba, in 1994, it certainly looked imminent. The

collapse of the old Soviet Union had cut off all the subsidies that had kept the Cuban economy afloat de-spite the American embar-go and its own huge ineffi-ciencies.

During the “Special Pe-riod in Time of Peace,”

which lasted through most of the 1990s, nobody starved, but almost everybody went hungry and the average Cuban lost 9 kg (20 lbs) in body weight. Social order broke down, with crime rampant and des-perate young people openly selling their bodies in the streets.

I brought my wife’s parents with me on one of these visits, and my mother-in-law was mugged in central Havana twice in a week. On the second occasion my father-in-law was injured while resisting the mug-gers, and I had to bribe a police inspector US $100 to free him from the police station where he was being held — technically as a witness, but really for ransom — so that I could get him proper medical attention. So I went home and predicted the imminent collapse of the regime again. Communist regimes in Europe whose people were quite well-fed had been falling to non-vio-lent democratic revolutions with scarcely any resistance in the past few years, so it seemed implausible that this ageing, ram-shackle dictatorship would last much lon-ger either.

Wrong again. But when Fidel Castro retired after 42 years and handed power to

his brother Raul in 2008, Western embas-sies in Havana (minus the United States, of course) arranged for various “experts” from their countries to visit Cuba and ex-plain how things were done in a real de-mocracy — which they fully expected that Cuba would shortly become.

I was asked to go along as an alleged expert in media and civil-military affairs, to tell Cuban journalists and military offi-cers how they should operate in a democ-racy. It was a well-meant but ridiculous initiative, but I went anyway because it gave me unprecedented access at a very interesting time.

And I came back convinced once again that a democratic transformation was real-ly imminent, because most of those I was speaking to expected it themselves. Few of them, even in the armed forces, feared for their jobs, and most of them thought that change would be for the better.

But fast forward another eight years, and very little has changed. Raul Castro says he will retire in 2018 (when he will be only 86), but a new generation of Commu-nist leaders is already being promoted into key positions.

Up to three million American visitors a year are expected now that the US ban on travel to Cuba has been lifted, which will widen the economic gulf between Cubans with access to dollars and those without, but it is unlikely to trigger a revolution. The surge of incoming money will magnify corruption at every level of the regime, but that won’t cause its overthrow either.

In fact, I now think that the regime will probably survive until and unless the US Congress finally ends the embargo and exposes Cuba to the full force of interna-tional capitalism. Of course, I have been wrong in the past.

In defence of Cominco Gardens

When I first came to Kimberley, long before I decided to move here, Cominco Gardens was one of the first things I was introduced to by the friend who brought me here. I vaguely remember other things — the little hostel where we stayed that has long since disappeared, the Platzl and a visit to the bakery, dinner at the Bauren-haus, but Cominco Gardens was the thing I remember best. 

My friend told me that it was the place to come for grad photos. It’s the place for wedding photos, baby photos, toddler photos, and the place to come to relax. I’ve seen young families, old couples, and those just falling in love. It was the place that made me fall in love with Kimberley. 

In every city and town, there are indis-pensable places. Places everyone can enjoy without worrying about it breaking the bank. Where you can go, without money being an issue, and enjoy what the city has to offer. In my mind, there are two such places in Kimberley — The Platzl and Cominco Gardens. The Platzl has the busi-nesses to fight for it, but who will fight for Cominco Gardens? I say everyone who enjoys it. Let city hall know that it is im-portant to us. 

City hall has stated in a recent newspa-per article that “there are no sacred cows”, and considering getting rid of Cominco Gardens is one of the things that are being considered. They are looking at what they would gain for their budget. But I would ask them to look at what they are losing — or what the city would be losing. 

Imagine, if you will, that you had hit that age where you required assisted liv-ing. The last thing you really want to do is move out of your house, but the necessity is there. You finally find a place, and it looks out on a beautiful garden. Because family never visits every day, it is the so-lace, knowing that you can always look out at it. Now imagine that is taken away as well. 

Imagine having a young family, looking for somewhere to enjoy time together, other than the typical playground. And you find Cominco Gardens, and you go there together, and it is associated with just getting out and spending time togeth-er. But city hall doesn’t value it. 

Imagine you were a shy teenager, with a new significant other, looking for some-where to enjoy warm summer evenings, and sitting on the old ski bench talking late into the evening.

Imagine you were a child, exploring everything for the first time — all the co-lours of the flowers, quietly clinging to your adult as you watch in wonder as a mother deer and her fawn walk past, feel-ing the damp blades of grass on your hands in the early morning sun, touching the cold stone of the wishing well.

And imagine that there are no more Kimberley’s generations that get to enjoy any of these. It needs to be here, and it needs to stay free. Maybe there are “no sacred cows” to city hall, but perhaps there ought to be. It is these little retreats in each city that make each one special, and each one its own “good place to be.” Taking these away make a city a little less good.

Cominco Gardens consistently ranks in the top 10 things to see and do in Kimber-ley. Taking it away would take away one of the things that makes Kimberley better than the “good” which our city hall uses to

market Kimberley. If they keep saying that we are such an outdoor place, we need to keep the one place that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their age, mobility, or state in life.

Dan Matheson, and the employees working at Cominco Gardens have poured their hearts and souls into making Comin-co Gardens a vibrant oasis for this town, and we need to stand behind them and make our voices heard that this is not the place to be cutting money from the bud-get.

I would encourage anyone who agrees with this to write a letter to your city hall, for those from Kimberley, lets tell city hall why Cominco Gardens is important. For those outside Kimberley, either asking your city hall to ensure their own “Comin-co Gardens” are kept, or thank your city halls for preserving the little sanctuaries in your own city, and make sure to enjoy them.

Elimination of flat taxI live in a strata apartment assessed at

$164,300, living on a fixed income and I might experience a short term benefit of a few dollars up front but has anyone evalu-ated all the factors involved? This shifting of City tax revenue from one pocket to the other pocket could have far reaching neg-ative consequences and I don’t think our Councillors and City Management have truly thought this through.

I have worked in the construction in-dustry for nearly 50 years and know how a downturn in the economy can affect a community when it comes to disposable income and jobs.

Why, when we are trying to increase our tax base, is council voting to phase out the flat tax. The flat tax is designed to en-sure all properties are paying a fair share. In my opinion the 3% on the mill rate (over and above the regular mill rate increase of 3.5-4 or 5%) will stifle any new housing, renovation or development in our com-munity. Also, there are many revenue properties that will have their taxes signifi-cantly reduced, and, as a result the short-fall will have to be picked up by the resi-dents living in homes assessed at $250,000 plus dollars. I hope people realize the new revenue from the $10.0 million the City had in new building and renovation per-mits in 2015 will not even cover the in-crease in wages for City Employees in 2016. The City has to grow faster than what was experienced last year just to remain the same.

With Kimberley being one of the high-est taxed cities of our size in B.C. we need to take a second look at this proposal. After years of neglect and empire building by previous city councils, an effort is being made to get control of our spending and address our infrastructure concerns.

If you truly care about good paying jobs being available in your community, then please take the time and get involved. Let city council know it’s not the time to put our construction, retail and service jobs at risk and demand that this motion to elim-inate the flat tax be recalled and defeated.

S. FletcherKimberley

Elimination of flat taxMonday, March 14, was another sad

day for many residential property owners in the City of Kimberley. Councillor Goodwin introduced a well orchestrated motion in Council to eliminate the flat tax claiming it was an unfair and regressive form of taxation. In my opinion, Council-lor Goodwin convinced three other Coun-cillors to support his motion in advance, so naturally the motion was approved to eliminate the flat tax.

When we have something that is work-ing and fairly well balanced, why mess with it when there are many other pro-ductive things Council could be doing that would have a far better return for the community as a whole?

For example, if our Councillors want to eliminate the flat tax, why aren’t they doing more to support the Mayor in his efforts to create an “environment” which will attract more new residents, and per-haps a new industry or two to our com-munity, instead of spending time creating road blocks which will have an undesir-able impact on the construction of new homes, large scale renovations and at-tracting new industries to our communi-ty?

Perhaps if you accomplished some-thing positive, you could learn to live without the revenue from the flat tax and phase it out over time without increasing the mill rate taxes by three per cent for each of the next ten years.

Councillor Goodwin claims the flat tax is a regressive tax applied to the 523 strata apartments and condos on the ski hill with a total value of $63.4 million at an average price of $121,150. All the units mentioned here are investment proper-ties, treated like hotel rooms, which cur-rently pay the mill rate tax plus the flat tax like everyone else in town. Unlike Coun-cillor Goodwin, I strongly suggest this is a progressive form of taxation where these investors are contributing their fair share toward all the services provided by the City. Under Councillor Goodwin’s pro-posal, all these parcels will end up being exempt the parcel tax. As a matter of fact, they will pay less taxes at the end of ten years as compared to what they are cur-rently paying today.

We are already one of the highest, if not the highest, taxed community in BC with-in our size range and now four Council-lors want to eliminate the flat tax and add another 3% on top of our normal annual tax increases of anywhere from 3.5% to 6% plus. On top of this the City is increasing utility fees by 8.27% for each of the next three years. This is totally unsustainable and property owners with assessments at $250,000 and over should be furious over what is happening here and contact City Hall demanding that this motion to elimi-nate the flat tax be recalled and defeated.

Again, if you truly care about the long term sustainability of your community, I urge all taxpayers and property owners to contact City Hall and demand this motion to eliminate the flat tax be recalled and defeated because it has far broader impli-cations than simply being a transfer of taxes.

18th annual Kootenay Ice awards

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

While it may have been one of the most challenging Western Hockey League seasons in Kootenay Ice fran-chise history, there was still plenty to celebrate in 2015-16 as the team hosted its 18th annual awards ceremony Fri-day night prior to puck drop at Western Finan-cial Place.

Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin was the recipient of the most prestigious award of the evening — the Rod Hunter Ltd. Players Award. The Players Award is voted upon by the players for the teammate showing the most dedication, perseverance and com-mitment to the game of hockey.

“It’s a huge honour, it’s something you take a lot of pride in,” Hoflin said Friday night. “It’s the people around you that you’re trying to in-spire and trying to get better for that vote you in for that award.

“When I first came into this league, I was just an immature kid try-ing to play hockey. But it led to the development of the person I am today. It’s a huge honour for me and my family.”

Hoflin’s family and billet family were both on hand Friday night as he was honoured along-side teammates.

In addition to receiv-ing the Players Award, the 21-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., was recognized as the Hadd-ad Financial Services First Star of the Year and Steeples Construction Player of the Month for March.

“Things weren’t al-ways sunshine and rain-bows, [Hoflin] had a lot of work to do to get to a point where he could be an elite starting goalten-der in the league,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “He found a way to get there. That’s not an easy thing to do.

“Dealing with some tough losses… finding a way this year to fight through some things, there’s no question there were times where he wasn’t at his best and

it got to him, too, with the struggles. But he never let it last a long time and persevered through that.

“His commitment and dedication to the game are hopefully things that will be last-ing impressions on this group.”

Hoflin’s efforts in re-writing the Kootenay Ice record book have been well-documented over the past two sea-sons. In 2015-16 he es-tablished a new fran-chise mark for saves (4,505), surpassing Na-than Lieuwen (4,188).

Not to be diminished by the haul claimed by his goaltender, 19-year-old Zak Zborosky was named the Apollo Risto-rante Most Valuable Player after leading the Kootenay Ice in scoring with 32 goals, 36 assists and 68 points in 58 games.

“At times, he’s quietly gone about putting to-gether a pretty impres-sive season,” Pierce said. “Those types of num-bers on a team that has struggled at times to provide offense and score goals… We’re the lowest-scoring team in the Western Hockey League and he put up 30. Proportionately, that’s pretty impressive.

“In this league, you need elite players that can break things open…Those people are ex-tremely valuable.”

Zborosky, a native of Regina, was also named the Haddad Financial Services Second Star of the Year.

“I wasn’t really ex-pecting [to be named MVP] because I was going against Hoff,” Zborosky said.

“His work ethic and his determination to get better every day is awe-some. His attitude to-wards everything is fan-tastic.”

While Hoflin and Zborosky headlined the Ice achievements in 2015-16, defenceman Cale Fleury had himself a breakout year and was recognized for that as the Kootenay Ice Fan Club Player of the Year.

Fleury, a 17-year-old native of Calgary, had a breakout year in his WHL sophomore cam-

paign, stacking up eight goals and 17 assists for 25 points in 61 games.

The 6-foot-1, 192-pound rearguard also showed his prowess off the ice, as he was named Rocky Mountain Diesel Scholastic Player of the Year for the second con-secutive season.

Captain Tanner Lish-chynsky was honoured as the Dixon Service Centre’s Top Defensem-an after posting career highs in all major statis-tical categories.

Coming to the Ice for a five-game affiliate ap-pearance from the Flin Flon Bombers of the Sas-katchewan Junior Hock-ey League back in De-cember 2014, Lishchyn-sky never looked back.

He quickly became one of the most reliable presences on the Ice blue line last season and his efforts were reward-

ed in 2015-16 as he was named the 20th captain in franchise history.

Donning the cap-taincy, the 21-year-old native of Saskatoon helped carry the young club and produced ca-reer highs in goals (eight), assists (15), points (23), games played (60) and penalty minutes (70).

Carrying on the suc-cessful family namesake first established by older brother Luke, 17-year-old Noah Philp was named Alpine Toyota Rookie of the Year after recording six goals and 22 points to lead all first-year players in team scoring.

Sophomore forward Austin Wellsby was named the Skyway Dis-tributors Most Im-proved Player. In his second year with the Ice, the 18-year-old na-tive of Chilliwack pro-duced eight goals and 16 points, besting his one-goal rookie season.

Alternate captain Matt Alfaro was named the BDO Canada LLP Most Underrated Player after finishing second in team scoring with 22 goals and 48 points through 65 games. The 19-year-old native of Calgary was also recog-

nized as the Haddad Fi-nancial Services Third Star of the Year.

Last, but certainly not least, rookie Jared Legien led the commu-nity charge throughout Cranbrook, reading in school libraries, helping with minor hockey practices and playing street hockey with youngsters, amongst other efforts. The 17-year-old native of Pilot Butte, Sask., was recognized with the EKC Community Rela-tions Award.

Outside of formal awards, the Ice also rec-ognized the efforts of their overage players, presenting Lishchynsky and Hoflin with their own personal Kootenay Ice sweater as a keep-sake.

As the team’s only 19-year-old players, Al-faro and Zborosky were also recognized for their leadership and present-ed with watches.

The young Ice squad, which featured 10 first-year players, finished 12-53-6-1, missing the post-season for the first time since 1997-98, when it was still located in Edmonton.

Dynamiters advance to KIJHL championshipKimberley Dynamiters defeat Beaver Valley Nitehawks in Game 5 of conference final; book second consecutive trip to KIJHL championship

TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO

Kimberley Dynamiters captain Jason Richter (#40) roars past Beaver Valley Nitehawks defenceman McKoy Hauck (#9) and in on goaltender Tallon Kramer during the second period of Game 5 at the Kimberley Civic Centre Monday night. Richter didn’t capitalize on this sequence, but earned redemp-tion by scoring the game- and series-clinching goal in the third period.

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor

They say lightning never strikes twice, but the Kimberley Dynamit-ers are proving that the-ory wrong.

With a 3-1 triumph over the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in Game 5 of the Kootenay Confer-ence final, the Dynamit-ers claimed a 4-1 series victory, effectively punching a ticket to the KIJHL championship for the second consecu-tive year.

“I don’t want to say we expected it, but I think a lot of the guys that were here last year knew what it would take to get here,” said Dyna-miters goaltender Tyson Brouwer after Monday’s victory. “We all knew in the back of our heads that we could get here, so it’s a familiar feeling. We’re loving every min-ute of it.

“You hear all the guys talk about how much sacrifice and how much hard work it took to get there last year. It just makes you want to go that extra mile to get there again.”

Not only is it the sec-ond consecutive season the Dynamiters have advanced to the league championship, it is the second consecutive sea-son they have had to go through the Nitehawks in order to do so.

“Any time you beat Beaver Valley, you’ve accomplished some-thing special,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamit-ers, following his team’s Game 5 win.

“I have a lot of respect for their coaching staff. Jonesy has been there a long time and they’ve got a winning tradition… A winning tradition brings good players. We beat a good team.”

In 2015, the Dyna-miters also claimed a five-game victory over the Nitehawks before going on to win the KIJHL crown in six games over the Kam-loops Storm.

“Losing is tough, but it’s made easier when you lose to a real good hockey team,” said Terry Jones, head coach of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, following Game 5.

“These guys are de-

termined to go a long ways. I wish them well.”

The Dynamiters will face the 100 Mile House Wranglers in the 2016 KIJHL championship. The Wranglers advanced to the league final after derailing the Summer-land Steam in five games to claim the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference championship.

“It’s obviously a good feeling, but none of us are satisfied yet — we still have a job to do,” said Dynamiters captain Jason Richter, who tal-lied the game- and se-ries-clinching goal Monday night.

“Everyone is going to have to go all in. Every-one needs the will to win and the heart to win. We’re going to do everything in our power and that’s what it’s going to take.”

The Dynamiters re-ceived scoring from Tyler Van Steinburg, Richter and Franco Co-lapaolo, with goaltender Tyson Brouwer making 29 saves between the pipes in Game 5.

Allan Pruss respond-ed on behalf of the Nite-hawks, while goaltender Tallon Kramer was elec-tric, even in defeat, turn-ing aside 32 shots.

Richter’s game- and series-clinching marker could not have come at a better time for the home team and a worse time for the visitors.

With Devin Nemes serving a slashing minor, Richter redirect-ed a Jordan Busch point shot that found the five-hole on Kramer and trickled through to give the Dynamiters a 2-1 lead 2:32 into the third period, sending the ma-jority of the 1,155 fans at the Kimberley Civic Centre into a frenzy.

“It was a poor read that led to a poor penal-ty and poor penalties are always the hardest to kill,” Jones said. “It’s their first power-play goal of the series and it turns out to be the series winner. It’s ironic, when we did such a great job on all our kills, that that one loses it for us.”

Richter’s power-play tally was his team’s only man-advantage conver-sion of the entire confer-ence final as the Nite-hawks penalty kill went an astounding 19-for-

20. Unfortunately for coach Jones and the Ni-tehawks, that one failed kill came at the worst possible moment.

“It’s funny how it happened, it wasn’t pretty or anything else,” Bancks said of Richter’s power-play effort. “It was a shot that hit some-one and went it. You shoot the puck with a screen and good things happen.”

Tense time ensued immediately after Rich-ter’s game-changing goal as Brouwer played the puck up over the glass and out of play, earning himself a delay of game penalty and sending the Nitehawks to the man advantage.

Though the visitors created a few opportu-nities, Brouwer was able to hold the fort and the Dynamiters penalty kill went to work keeping Beaver Valley from drawing even.

Colapaolo added the necessary insurance with 7:51 remaining in regulation. Dancing past Nitehawks defenceman Ryan Terpsma, the 19-year-old Colapaolo slid the puck low past Kramer for a 3-1 lead.

“I thought we out-worked them [in the third period],” Bancks said. “One of the things people don’t really ap-preciate with our team is the back pressure. The number of times it looks like they’ve got a play, a stick will come in from behind and poke the puck into the corner. That comes from good hard work.

“We do that better than just about every-body and that’s an im-portant part of it. We outworked them in the third period, cycled the puck well and Franco got a huge goal for us. He showed his poise and patience. He’s been a nice addition.”

Despite the decisive finish in the third peri-od, Game 5 — like al-most every game before it between the Nite-hawks and Dynamiters — was tightly contested from the first puck drop.

Van Steinburg opened the scoring in the first period.

After a clean face-off win to the glove side of Kramer, the puck came to Van Steinburg, who

wasted no time sending a quick wrist shot from the point and past Kramer’s glove 7:18 into the first period.

Pruss knotted the game 1-1 on a power play 5:40 into the sec-ond period.

Brouwer made the initial save, but the fro-zen rubber found a hole and slowly trickled up and over the Nitros net-minder before rolling over the goal line to even the score after 40 minutes.

Kramer was his usual stellar self in Game 5, particularly in the sec-ond and third periods.

“He’s a great kid, a great leader, a great goal-ie,” Jones said of Kramer. “He never quit on any-

thing. He never quit on any play and that’s the kind of person he is.”

After Pruss’ tying tally, the Dynamiters had ample opportunity to retake the lead, but the 19-year-old puck-stopper was hav-ing none of it.

The best chance of the second period came as Richter burst in alone behind the Nitehawks defence. Racing across the Beaver Valley blue-line, the Kimberley cap-tain bolted to the slot before sending a quick snapshot high and wide of Kramer, who was well out of the blue paint ag-gressively challenging.

Next, Kramer got low to make a fantastic split save in tight with Co-

lapaolo crashing through the crease.

In the third period, Graham Dugdale busted in alone on Kramer, who was once again forced to make a massive save, keeping his team within one goal after Richter had given the Dynamit-ers the lead.

Next, the product of Grande Prairie, Alta., stoned Eric Buckley off a glorious two-on-one opportunity.

Prior to Richter’s se-ries-clincher, Buckley thought he had given the Dynamiters a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal, but the on-ice offi-cials saw otherwise.

Taking a loose puck, the veteran forward spun and fired low. As

the red light came on, the nearest referee im-mediately washed out the goal.

Mere moments later, Richter registered the winner, leaving no ques-tion between the goal judge and on-ice offi-cials.

With the victory, the Dynamiters take on the 100 Mile House Wran-glers in the KIJHL cham-pionship, which is slat-ed to begin Saturday, March 26 at the Kimber-ley Civic Centre.

The B.C. government has sent officials to Otta-wa to help work through the latest delay in the Pacific Northwest LNG project at Prince Rupert, a 90-day extension re-quested by the federal regulator to study fish-eries impact.

Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development, said Monday he hopes to “overcome the delay” in approval of the Petro-nas-backed liquefied natural gas project that applied for federal envi-ronmental assessment more than two years ago.

“I’m confident that any remaining ques-tions can be answered completely and quick-ly,” Coleman said in a statement. “They have to be. Jobs for British Columbians should not be held by unnecessary delays.”

Coleman said the the $36 billion plant and pipeline would be the largest private invest-ment in Canadian histo-ry, equivalent to four Site C dams, five Olym-pic games or 11 Port Mann bridge projects.

significant adverse envi-ronmental effects. The project received provin-cial approval in October 2015 after a joint review coordinated by B.C.

The Pacific North project got a boost last week when the Lax Kwa’laams Band coun-cil reversed its opposi-tion to a terminal at Lelu

Island, notifying McK-enna that it would sup-port the plan with two conditions.

McKenna granted the extension at the re-quest of the Canadian Environmental Assess-ment Agency, which asked Pacific Northwest for more information on effects of in-water con-

struction activities at Flora Bank, an import-ant salmon-rearing area for the Skeena River.

Rallies and truck pa-rades were held in Fort St. John and Fort Nelson last week to urge the federal government to approve LNG projects to provide an export mar-ket for B.C. gas.

A glut of natural gas across North America has brought drilling ac-tivity in northeastern B.C. gas fields to a near-halt, with a recent sale of drilling rights by the B.C. government at-tracting no sales for the first time in the indus-try’s 50-year history.

Energy Minister Bill

Bennett said northeast coal mines idle in addi-tion to a slump in gas activity.

“The two communi-ties up there that are probably the worst off are Tumbler Ridge and Fort Nelson,” Bennett said. “Folks in the Lower Mainland are typically shielded from the ups and downs of the natu-ral resource industries, but if you live in Fort Nelson or Tumbler Ridge or Cranbrook or Williams Lake, you’re not shielded. You feel it.”

Premier Christy Clark said the federal government is looking closely at the economic impact of LNG develop-ment, with Alberta, Sas-katchewan and New-foundland’s oil indus-tries also hurting.

“Over 30 years, 100,000 jobs and a tril-lion dollars potentially in GDP growth, that’s a big number,” Clark said.

“If they’re thinking about First Nations, they will spend some time thinking about all of the First Nations members who have signed agree-ments to support LNG, who will be part of building LNG, the envi-ronmental stewards.”

SubmiT TedWomen Grow is an entity

that was created to connect, educate, inspire and em-power the next generation of cannabis industry leaders by creating programs, commu-nity and events for aspiring and current business execu-tives. Founded in 2014 in Denver, Colorado, Women Grow is a for-profit entity that serves as a catalyst for women to influence and suc-ceed in the cannabis indus-try as the end of marijuana prohibition occurs on a na-tional scale. Chapter events are held every month in dif-ferent cities throughout the region with the intent of en-couraging and promoting small business artisans and strengthening the local economy throughout the re-gion.

Women Grow Kootenay Region held its March net-working event at the begin-ning of the month at the his-toric St. Eugene Resort in Cranbrook, B.C. The evening began with a blessing from a Ktunaxa elder in support of the future in the sentiment of

this industry being some-thing better for both the peo-ple and Mother Earth. The event brought both present-ers and guests from far and wide, including; David Greiner, an organic hemp farmer from Saskatchewan who shared his wealth of knowledge about large-scale agricultural hemp practices and production, and the ins and outs of running a family farm; Graeme Staley and Bob Farmer of Purefarma Solutions Inc. who spoke in depth about various canna-bis extraction methods and processes; Tamara Duggan, owner of Tamarack Dispen-saries in Kimberly, B.C. – the first dispensary in Canada to be granted a dispensary business licence by the mu-nicipality– spoke about how her personal journey as a caregiver and how immense success with cannabis medi-cine brought her into a new career; and long-time can-nabis advocate and owner of Herbivore branding and consulting, Teresa Taylor, who talked about the impor-tance of the terminology we

use with regards to cannabis. Incorrect ideas are held and carried forward by way lan-guage, and in order to shift outdated, false, negatively held ideas around cannabis, we must start with the way we speak about it. This event was sponsored by J/W Mari Mariceuticals Inc. and The Kootenay’s Medicine Tree.

Women Grow Kootenay Region Chapter is returning to Nelson to host a Spring Grow Show at the Hume Hotel on Friday, April 8th, at 6:00pm, which will feature both presentations and in-formation booths with en-thusiasts and business own-ers with a vast knowledge and experience related to this sector of the industry. Women Grow is thrilled to have local business owner and garden aficionado, David Robinson, as the headlining speaker for the evening.

David was born and raised in Surrey, BC and grew up enjoying the fruits of the local harvest. In his early twenties he began working full time in hydroponic retail.

April Women Grow Kootenay eventThis was like hydroponic boot camp! After five years full time in such a demand-ing environment he thought he was a pro! David began to take a personal interest in helping his clients grow with whatever means they could. He then dedicated the next 10 years towards producing a book, “The Grower’s Hand-book”, that considered all po-tential variables into indoor cultivation. This includes the genetics, environment, grow-ing systems, nutrient avail-ability, and so on. If you want to grow indoors, someday, you will probably go into a hydroponic store to make purchases for your garden and he would be the guy that you would want to find on the other side of the counter.

Early bird tickets can be purchased online at www.universe.com for $25 or for $40, cash only, at the door. Join us on April 8th for as we explore the diverse world of cannabis cultivation tech-niques in the Kootenay’s.

In addition to the Friday Women Grow signature net-working event, Wild Woods Yoga & Wellness studio on Ward Street will be hosting Women Grow and local yoga teacher Megan Bond for a “Yoga with Terpene Aroma-therapy” dedicated to Wom-en’s Health the following day, Saturday April 9, at 12 pm.  Explore and empower your feminine divine while indulging into the aromas of terpenes with Megan and Kaleigh Herald from Women

Grow. Drop-in and register before 12:00 at Wild Woods, $20 cash only.

Do you have something you’d like to contribute to Women Grow? Then we want to hear from you! Women Grow is a platform for individuals with all sorts of backgrounds to bring their individual strengths and ex-periences and apply them to the cannabis industry. Please note that you do not have to have had any previous can-nabis experience to get in-volved - this is an emerging industry and, the truth is, many of us are new; opportu-nities are vast and there is a place for all of us to partici-pate and contribute!

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a strong intuitive sense that will kick in today. Despite what you hear and what others say, you understand what is going on and what needs to happen. Trust your judgment, but take no action for at least a day. Focus on running errands. Tonight: Make it an early bed-time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) While others might not be sure which way to go, you can think of many different routes that could work. The only problem is that those around you are not focused, nor are they listening. Let go and enjoy the moment with a loved one. Tonight: Be naughty if you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can’t seem to avoid tension or get past a problem at the moment. Worrying and plotting are simply a waste of time. Stay close to home if you want to. There is no reason to push your-self so hard. You have a lot going on at present. Tonight: Make it

easy. Order in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might note an innate nervousness surrounding your plans, days and actions in gener-al. As a Cancer, you are ruled by the Moon and could be feeling tomorrow’s lunar eclipse. Try not to act out. Eat your vegetables, and get plenty of sleep. Tonight: Be responsive but not reactive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use caution with your funds. Postpone financial decisions, and don’t accept offers right now. Someone might encourage you to take risks, but doing so would only cause you a prob-lem. Curb a tendency to be an emotional spender. Tonight: Go home and pay some bills first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could sense pressure build-ing, and you might want to shake off the stress. Try as you might, your actions work only temporarily. Take time to look at the source of your stress, and make an adjustment where nec-essary. Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel somewhat off-kilter and unaware of what is going on. You could be feeling the build toward tomorrow’s lunar eclipse in your sign. If you can, curb a tendency to be reac-tive or impulsive during the next few days. You’ll be much happi-er. Tonight: Close to home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want. You might have what you believe is a very important conversation. Don’t be surprised if, at a later date, you need to have this talk again. Though the other person seems to get it, he or she could be distracted. Tonight: Find your friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be more aware of what is happening around you than others would believe. You re-late well to those around you at work and in your personal life. You might want to make some changes in the near future, but the timing could be off. Tonight: As late as you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Push yourself past your trigger points in order to understand

where a group of friends is com-ing from. Only if you detach and try to walk in their shoes will you be able to grasp the full story. As a result, your attitude is likely to change. Tonight: Choose a favor-ite pastime. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to proceed carefully and have an import-ant discussion. The problem lies in the fact that you know you’ll have to repeat it later. You might believe that there is a meeting of the minds, but given time, you will find out otherwise. Tonight: With a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seek you out. You might enjoy the popularity, but you dislike the heavy conversations that are coming forward. You will need to have an important talk with a close associate or friend -- just don’t have it today or tomorrow. Tonight: Happy at home. BORN TODAY Author James Patterson (1947), comedian Chico Marx (1887), actor William Shatner (1931) ***

Dear Annie: I live with a friend who wants the house to be neat all of the time. But his personal habits are disgusting. “Bruno” washes up in the morning with a washcloth that he leaves on top of the hamper. He takes a shower once every two weeks. He coughs and hacks and spits into the trash can by his desk. He gets black newsprint on his fingers when he reads the paper and then it gets all over our white walls when he touches them. He is diabetic and disposes of his bloody test strips and tissues in a garbage can in the kitchen. Next to the table. Where we eat. How can I tell him to be more sanitary? I get so nauseated by his habits that sometimes I want to move out, but I can’t afford that option. When I speak to him about it, he gets crabby. -- Disgusted Roommate Dear Roommate: This is what happens when people share living quarters -- you have to find ways to live with those traits that irritate one another. We recommend putting a trash can with a flip lid in the kitchen, so his tissues and test strips are not visible, and the container is easy enough to use that Bruno won’t drop the tissues on the floor. You can do the same with the one by his desk. Do the reverse with the hamper -- replace it with one that has no lid, so everything goes into a basket that can be carried to the washer. Don’t clean up his inky fingerprints. If he doesn’t like to see them, simply direct him to the cleaning supplies. There’s nothing you can do about how often he showers. We think you should start scouting for another place to live that, with a second or even a third roommate, would be affordable. Dear Annie: My niece is married and they have three children. Each year, I send my niece a Christmas gift of a significant amount of money for the family. I send a gift certificate for each child’s birthday, and I also send my niece a gift for her birthday. She never sends a thank you via letter, card, text or email. She never acknowledges receiving the gifts at all. I always have to write and ask whether the gifts arrived, and usually, I will get a response a day or two later. I realize I don’t send gifts simply to be acknowledged, but it is a courtesy to let the giver know something was received. At what point can I let go of this tradition since it certainly doesn’t seem to be appreciated? She lives in a different state, and I haven’t seen them in over eight years. If I stop sending gifts, I know she will never once consider that she is responsible. But do I continue sending gifts to someone I consider unappreciative and rude? -- Annoyed Aunt Dear Aunt: You can stop this tradition immediately. Send your niece a lovely card for the next occasion and write inside, “I can tell that gifts seem to create an extra burden for you, so I’ve decided to stop sending them.” Enough already.

HENRY WIENS: April 3, 1928 -

March 18, 2016Henry passed away peacefully in the early hours of March 18, 2016 at the age of 87 years. He was born in Ewelme, Alberta on April 3rd 1928 to Daniel and Maria Wiens and grew up on the family farm near Fort McLeod, Ab. As a young man, Henry attended Mennonite Bible

Institute in Didsbury, Ab. After Bible School, his first job was driving truck for “John’s Delivery” in Calgary. It was during this time that he met his love, Anne Schellenberg. They married in 1952 and were soon blessed with 3 children and Henry began to pursue his lifelong career in carpentry and construction.In 1967, the family moved to Cranbrook where Henry partnered with his brother John building basements, and later worked for contractor and friend, Gerry Carr. In 1969, their 4th child, was born. In the mid 80’s he put down his hammer and began working for BC Parks as part of the Fort Steele security staff. He worked there until his retirement in 1993. Afterward, Henry & Anne enjoyed many holiday travels throughout western Canada and spent many winters with friends in Arizona. Throughout their lives Henry & Anne enjoyed a rich Church life, including many years at Foothills Mennonite in Calgary, followed by First Baptist Church in Cranbrook and finally Knox Presbyterian. Henry was predeceased by his beloved wife Anne in 2014, and brothers David and Jacob. He is survived by his loving children Dan of Surrey BC, Dyan (Ken) Thayer of Bellingham WA, Donna (Greg) Pascuzzo and Jamie of Cranbrook BC; His five grandchildren, Jenny (Marco) Guzzo, Sarah Maglio, Jake Whiteley, Jeff Pascuzzo and Brock (Caitlin) Pascuzzo, 2 great-grandchildren, Juliano & Liam Guzzo, and his brothers John Wiens of Cranbrook, Ernest Wiens of Edmonton, Dan Wiens and sister Jessie, both of Kelowna BC.A memorial service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church 2100-3rd St S, Cranbrook, B.C. on Thursday March 24, 2016 at 11 a.m. Those wishing to remember Henry in a special way may do so with offerings to the Church.

Canadianscontinue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data. “Increased media compe-tition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefi ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

Interior Health talking about ticks T r e vo r C r aw l e y

It’s no secret that small bugs can tick us off, however, Derma-centor andersoni can pack a seri-ous bite.

Known as the wood tick, Interi-or Health is warning the public to keep an eye out for the insects now that spring has sprung. Ticks, often found in tall grass and wood-ed areas, feed on the blood of hu-mans and animals and their bites can sometimes transmit diseases.

Interior Health suggests cover-ing up before heading outdoors and checking over yourself, chil-dren or pets after being outdoors as ways to prevent and mitigate

tick bites. Other easy bite preven-tion tips include applying insect repellant and tucking pant legs into socks or boots.

“The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the Wood Tick (Dermacentor ander-soni), which is not known to carry the Lyme disease bacteria, said Dr. Silvina Mema, Medical Health Offi-cer with Interior Health. “The Wood Tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed.”

If you find a tick on yourself, family member or pet, use gloves and needle-nose tweezers to re-move it. Grasp the tick close to the skin, pull it straight out and the

area with soap and water. A certain tick species—Ixodes

pacificus—that carries Lyme dis-ease is more common to the coast-al areas of the province, but could also be present in low numbers in areas within IH jurisdiction. How-ever, less than one per cent of Ixo-des ticks carry the disease.

Symptoms of people infected with Lyme disease from a tick bite include fever, headache, muscle pain, along with the development of rash that looks like a bulls-eye target around the bite site.

“Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection

can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Dr. Mema. “It is important to watch for signs of tick-transmitted ill-nesses. Signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash.  Anyone who expe-riences a bulls-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.”

To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, keep grass short and remove fallen leaves and weeds, trim tree branches to allow for more sunlight in the yard, keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house.

CresTon valley advanCeThere will be no festival

this year, but that’s not the end for Starbelly Jam — the board has announced plans for the Crawford Bay family

music festival to return in 2017.

“The Starbelly board and central organizers are look-ing at 2016 as a regenerative year, taking some time to

focus on the internal struc-ture, so that we can make 2017 and the coming years even better than ever,” said the board in a press release.

The festival remains fi-

nancially sound, but getting help behind the scenes has been a challenge.

“As the dynamics have shifted, and population has dwindled on the East Shore

over the years, Starbelly’s biggest obstacle has been finding new volunteers to take on some of our central management positions,” said the board. “You could say

we’ve grown too big for our britches in a way.”

For more information about volunteering or the state of the festival, email info@starbellyjam.org.
