We are in the midst of anoth-er early and warm spring and most long term forecasts point to the warm, dry weather con-tinuing.

With potential for another damaging, and expensive, fire season Forests, Lands and Natu-

ral Resource Operations Minis-ter Steve Thomson is urging all British Columbians to do their part this year to help prevent wildfires and reduce fire risks, including using FireSmart prin-ciples to help protect homes and communities.

The prescribed burn this past Sunday in the Kimberley Nature Park is one example of FireSmart

work being done by the City. The Kimberley Fire Department has also been trying to form neigh-bourhood committees of resi-dent who commit to cleaning up their own blocks. There hasn’t been tremendous response to that thus far, but Assistant Chief Rick Prasad says they are taking names of interested residents and are planning another open

Bob McWhinnie Day, April 24


It is a tradition at the Kimberley Skate Park each April as the community gathers to celebrate the memory of Bob McWhinnie, former city councillor and passionate supporter of recreation for Kim-berley’s kids.

Bob McWhinnie pushed hard for the skate park during his time as a councillor and worked tirelessly to see construction through to its conclusion.

Since the community lost Bob, residents gather every April at the park to keep his memory alive. This year’s Bob McWhinnie Day is set for this Sunday, April 24 and as always, one and all are invited to the skate park. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will showcase local skaters and bikers.

“Come down with whatever you can roll on,” said organizer Alex Buterman. “There will be an open jam, prizes and we’re going to have skills park dirt jump demo.”

Shout Hooray for Turtle DayCranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin

Angus glAssIt’s Turtle Day once

more! You are invited to Elizabeth Lake, Visitor Centre, on Monday, April 25, between 3 and 5 p.m. to learn more about Western Painted Turtles.

It is a great opportu-nity to see displays, learn about the turtle life-cycle, talk to biolo-gists, and hopefully see some hatchlings just hours out of their nests!

This free event is hosted by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) and the Rocky Mountain Naturalists, with sup-port from BC Hydro, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations, and the Columbia Basin En-vironmental Education Network.

“The Western Paint-ed Turtle is the only freshwater turtle native to B.C., and has devel-oped some extraordi-nary adaptations to sur-vive at the northern end of its distribution range in North America,” says FWCP Columbia Region Manager Crystal Klym. “It’s a Blue-listed (vul-nerable) species in the province, and together we can protect the Eliza-

beth Lake population so that it remains sustain-able.”

The FWCP, together with the Rocky Moun-tain Naturalists, have been working together to monitor and protect the turtles at Elizabeth Lake for many years.

“One interesting ob-servation is that hatch-lings from 11 of the of the 58 nests laid last June, actually emerged in the fall of last year,” said Greg Ross who is monitoring the nests for the Rocky Mountain Naturalists. “Typically one or two emerge be-fore winter, but never this many. It may be due to changing environ-mental conditions, but we cannot say for cer-tain.”

The FWCP in the Co-lumbia region is a part-nership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., First Nations and the Public Stakeholders to conserve and en-hance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams.

Townsman sTaff

Stop the presses!After 41 years with

the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, Gord Askew is calling it a career.

Askew, who started working in the news-paper industry right out of high school, pulled his last issues of the Daily Towns-man and Daily Bulle-tin off the press on Fri-day before heading into retirement.

When wrapping up high school, Askew gave serious thought to becoming an auto mechanic because of his interest in ma-chinery. However, a job opened up in the press room of the Daily Townsman, which piqued his cu-riosity, so he applied.

Next thing you know, 41 years flies by.

“I’ve always been a big newspaper guy,” Askew said. “I always grab a newspaper to read in the morning or when I’m on vacation. It’s an industry that’s given me my liveli-hood.”

Hired as an ap-prentice, Askew has been a part of five dif-ferent press installs over the years, and while the press tech-

nology hasn’t changed much, the pre-press preparation—com-posing the newspaper before the use of com-puters and software—has been seen a mas-sive evolution.

But it isn’t just the production technolo-gy that changed, it was the print capability and quality, as the Daily Townsman moved from black and white to full colour in 1976, with four units allowing for 16 pages of colour.

Doing press installs were one of the more self-admitted interest-ing aspects of Askew’s career. Each one posed an interesting challenge to assemble from various parts into a working press.

And he got quite adept at it after doing it five times between the old office on 7th Ave. and at the current office on Cranbrook St.

He never had a ‘Stop the Presses’ mo-ment that are so often dramatized on TV or the movies, however, the biggest news story of his career was when a 727 airplane crashed out at the Canadian Rockies International Airport in 1978 that killed 42 people, in-cluding many locals.

Friday, April 15, was the day the last issues of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Kimberley Daily Bulletin were produced. This week marks the beginning of the three day per week Cranbrook Townsman and Kimberley Bulletin.

41 years on the press; Gord Askew retires

Erica Morell, an ac-count executive with the Townsman who has been with the busi-ness since 1978, said Askew will be missed.

“Gord was here when I started 38 years ago and he has been a mainstay of press oper-ations ever since. He became a good friend

of mine and I’m going to miss his cheerful personality and I wish him all the best in the next chapter of his life,” Morell said.

Outside of work, you can find Askew taking in local hockey games, whether it be the Kootenay Ice or the Kimberley Dynamiters,

or spending time with his wife, Leigh, two daughters and three grandchildren.

From Page 1A number of other

speakers and work-shops are planned as well, including a ses-sion with Sean Camp-bell, General Manager of Community Futures East Kootenay; Linda Stokes, a legal expert on municipal govern-ments; Michael Hoher; a Nelson-based entre-preneur and business development special-ist; Dr. Terri MacDon-ald, BC Regional Inno-vation Chair in Rural Economic Develop-ment; Abra Brynne, Di-rector of Engagement and Policy, BC Food Systems Network; and Paris Marshall Smith, a local food systems ex-pert from Creston.

Delegates and guests will also tour the SunMine and the Mark Creek flume rehab

From Page 1The dirt jumps have

been redone with runs for kids up to experts, with funds that came from previous McWhinnie Days.

“People don’t know it’s there, and there’s also the pump track,” Buterman said. “So some local bike studs are going to throw it down and showcase some of the work done.”

Plans are still afoot for a covered stage area for the main bike park, to be built with McWhinnie Day funds.

“We will focus more on the skate park now that the dirt jumps are done,” he said.

From Page 1In the meantime, even if you

don’t join a neighbourhood group, you can safeguard your property from wildfire threats by using FireSmart principles.

By reducing the amount of flammable material around their homes and providing more open space where firefighters can work, private property owners can help slow the spread of an approaching wildfire.

The FireSmart Homeowner’s Manual is available online at http://bit.ly/1RQXFzd and con-

tains all kinds of useful tips on how to make your property.

Such as: • planting deciduous (leafy)

trees rather than the much more flammable conifers

• keeping control of surface fuels such as twigs, dried leaves, dried grass and wood piles.

• spacing trees at least three metres apart to reduce the inten-sity of a fire

• pruning all tree branches within two metres of the ground

• regular removal of debris from your gutters

• Stucco, metal siding, brick/concrete and fibre cement siding offer superior fire resistance. Logs and heavy timbers are still rea-sonably effective. Untreated wood and vinyl siding offer very little protection against wildfire.

The B.C. government thanks the public for its ongoing assis-tance in preventing and reporting wildfires. Anyone who spots a wildfire, unattended campfire or burning violation should imme-diately call *5555 on a cellphone or 1 800 663-5555 toll-free.

The Barriere RCMP is seeking public assis-tance in locating Barri-ere resident Angela Clark and her 3 chil-dren. Angela was re-ported missing early Sunday morning after failing to return from a cycling outing that day.

At around 2:00 am Sunday April, 17, 2016 the Barriere RCMP re-ceived a report of miss-ing persons from the husband of 36 yr old An-gela Clarke of Barriere. Angela was reported to

have gone cycling with her 2 daughters ages 12 and 10 and 9 yr old son, at East Barriere Lake. When she failed to re-turn, her husband who is not in the province reported her missing. The Barriere RCMP checked and confirmed that no one was home, with no indications of foul play being found.

Joe Nolan is a very nice man. That much was evident even before he started to play last Saturday night at Studio 64. This Edmon-ton-based singer-songwriter soon had the audience eating out of his hand. It was as much his hesitant, half-joking explanations about his songs and his smiling interactions with the audience as it was his orig-inal folk songs and pleasing guitar work that engaged those in atten-dance and gained their enthusias-tic applause.

Joe Nolan’s solo performance was the second concert in this year’s Live at Studio 64 spring se-ries that kicked off March 4 with the Celtic band Blackthorn. It was in marked contrast to that energetic performance. This concert provid-ed a laid-back, mellow evening of unpretentious songs sung with great sincerity in a voice that ranged from croaky blues-style to a high, clear falsetto, accompanied by har-monious chords and melodic fin-ger-picking on his acoustic guitar or by the more strident rhythms of his electric guitar. Apart from a couple of covers of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits numbers, Joe Nolan played his own compositions, in-cluding songs he said he’d written “a couple of days ago”. Certainly, it seemed that he was still exploring some of the tunes, still finding the right voice for them. Many were ballads, love songs, songs of the road, the kind of music that became a 25-year-old itinerant musician who lives mainly in his car travel-ling from gig to gig.

This concert, like all this sea-son’s Live at Studio 64 concerts, was sponsored by Lorne & Gail

Knutson of A B&B and by The Bur-rito Grill. Fund-raising efforts by Kimberley Arts Council for the pur-chase of a portable stage for Studio 64 are currently being supported by the silent auction of Helen Robert-son’s paintings that currently adorn the studio walls. Bids will be re-ceived at Centre 64 up until May 28, the date of the final concert in this year’s spring series, when the Al-berta rock ‘n’ roll band, The Red Cannons, will be at Studio 64 per-forming music to jive to.

Tickets for this concert are $22 KAC members, $24 non-members, and $26 at the door, available on-line at eastkootenaysnapd.com or from Centre 64 (250-427-4919).

CRANBROOK - The College of the Rockies is receiving $843,000 toward the purchase of new training equip-ment, including two L3 Mobile Truck Driving Training simulators and health care train-ing mannequins.

Advanced Educa-tion Minister Andrew Wilkinson announced the funding during a visit at the College of the Rockies.

“Our government is giving students access to training equipment so that they have the skills that employers want,” said Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. ore than $4 million in new trades and health care equipment is an in-vestment which will prepare students for careers in a range of sectors that support economic prosperity.”

The $843,000 for the College of the Rockies is part of more than $4 million from the pro-vincial government to a total of 20 public post-secondary insti-tutions for the pur-chase of new training equipment.

“The College of the Rockies does excep-tional work in helping

prepare students for career opportunities in our region and throughout B.C.,”

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “That is why our government is investing more than $800,000 to purchase new industry-standard training equipment for the college.”

Equipment is for programs that prepare students for in-de-mand occupations, in-cluding truck driving, the trades and nursing.

“This funding is timely and appreciat-ed,” said College of the Rockies president and CEO David Walls. “New equipment pro-vides the college with the opportunity to help students get the neces-sary experience and skills to begin their ca-reers in high demand fields. These new equipment items add to our already consid-erable expertise of in-corporating simulation into the student learn-ing experience.”

The Ministry of Ad-vanced Education is targeting funding and programs to sectors that have a high-de-mand for skilled work-ers. The more than $4 million will support

students entering high-demand sectors such as health, trades and transportation. The B.C. Labour Mar-ket Outlook 2024 esti-mates 15,500 job open-ings for transport truck drivers.

“Truck driving is a skilled occupation that requires a strong train-ing foundation,” said BC Trucking Associa-tion president and CEO Louise Yako. “We are extremely pleased the ministry is sup-porting both the truck-

ing industry and the College of the Rockies in funding state-of-the-art equipment for trainees to help seat our trucks.”

With this $4 million investment announced today, government has provided more than $21 million toward the purchase of new train-ing equipment for public post-secondary institutions since the launch of B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint in 2014.

“The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.”

Peter Drucker.

R ecently, whilst ensconced in the bathroom, I read in an edition of The Bathroom Reader that Áyapa-

neco — an indigenous language from Ayapa, Mexico — might soon become ex-tinct. Only two people on earth speak it – and they are not speaking to each other. It is not known what caused the feud between the two el-derly gentlemen, but those that know them say ‘they’ve never really enjoyed each other’s company.’

Now, I found this state-ment to be really interesting because I wondered if one of the two geezers might have bad breath or if the two of them might be making up the lingo as they go along. I mean, who can tell? Nobody else knows the language. Perhaps, if there is a written version of the language, someone can get the gaffers to text one another.

Of course, the two hombres could have had a disagreement over syntax. Linguists do this all the time and CBC announcers get their jollies over getting it wrong con-sistently. They must make it up as they go along.

When we were kids — back in the Pa-laeozoic, some suggest — we used to make up languages — talk in tongues —

then attempt to baffle anyone who both-ered to listen to us. Those tongues baffled us too because we were always making up new ones and forgetting the old as soon as we were bored with it.

I also had a good time making up ‘for-eign’.

I recall a conversation I had with an irate fellow in Arles, France. He, appar-ently, didn’t like the way I was driving through his historic home town and didn’t hesitate to inform me of this fact in

his local version of French. I too didn’t hesi-tate; I’d been studying real French for years in both school and univer-sity and so told the man what I thought of the sit-uation in my highly edu-cated version of his

mother tongue. As in most altercations, neither one of us attempted to listen to the other as each of us grew more and more expressive, even down to the hand gestures. My children seemed to know what was going on and enjoyed the en-counter while my beloved spouse was hysterical with laughter, especially when our son said in reasonable English, “You sure told him, Dad.”

But, let’s face it. Languages are con-stantly going extinct. On Google I found a list of hundreds of extinct languages from Nuchatlaht on the coast of B.C. through Bohemian Romani in the Czech Republic to Sumarian in Mesopotamia, but that’s

the way the cookie crumbles. When a lan-guage is no longer useful it goes the way of all things. Poof! I mean, how could a speaker of these archaic languages have used an iPad to contact his buddies?

I guess there are museums for lan-guages. I can imagine them all, thousands of them, covered in cobwebs getting mustier by the second and hardly anyone at all interested in them. They are dead as dodoes.

The Welsh language nearly went ex-tinct but some folk grew all anxious about it because, mainly, the hated English didn’t know it. During the second war years, when I lived in Wales, I learned some Welsh, mainly expressive swearing but, years later, when my beloved and I visited the old country they had erected Welsh signs all over the place and, be-cause the signs contained no cuss words, I got lost several times. I couldn’t find the little sea-side town where I used to live, several imposing castles and the capital city. “Why don’t you ask somebody?” my lovely wife pleaded as we missed the highest mountain in Wales.

Eventually, we stopped at a pub where several people were speaking Welsh and I did recognize some of the bad language and did get directions. So, at least, one old language is still in use. Cymru am bith.

The Scots themselves almost drove their Gaelic tongue into extinction by adopting the most ridiculous spelling. Even today hikers can be found staring bug-eyed at maps, their mouths open.

1905Another Cranbrook paper … It is ru-

mored around town that A. B. Grace, of the Fort Steele Prospector, contemplates mov-ing his paper to Cranbrook and smile sweetly upon the town that be once con-demned. The Herald will give Mr. Grace a hearty welcome. He will find conditions somewhat different in the newspaper line in Cranbrook, but the Herald will do all in its power to show him that he is in a live town and not in danger of dropping into a state innocuous desuetude.

1906Football at Marysville ... On Monday

last a picked eleven from the Town Team went to Marysville to try conclusions with a team from that place. The game was called at 6:30p.m. It was soon seen that Marysville was too strong for the Town Team. A very interesting game was played the boys speak very highly of the hospitality shown them. The score stood 4 to 0 in favor of Marysville.

Shooting affray on Baker Hill …. The peace of Baker Hill was disturbed at about eleven o’olock on Thursday night by the firing of a couple of revolver shots. It ap-pears that Mr. S. Barnhardt and Mrs. Matheson were out together and meeting Mrs. Barnhardt a few words passed when Mrs. Matheson drew a gun and fired two shots. Owing to close proximity of the two parties the pistol was turned aside and no injury was done. Steps were taken for the arrest of Mrs. Matheson and the matter will be fully ventilated in the police court.

Change needed … It is about time that the song “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” is cut out at banquets. Singing it once or twice is all right, but when it gets so that every time a name is mentioned someone around the

table jumps to his feet and starts to sing “For He’s Hic a Jollish Good Fellow,” it grows a little monotonous.

Plant trees ... Cranbrook should have a tree planting week. A tree is a great invest-ment as it pays such a big interest in the summer time.

A dangerous love … The deplorable tragedy of Thursday morning last, when Corporal Kimbry took his own life, furnish-es an example which might be taken to heart with much profit by a number of the young men of the Pass. Kimbry killed him-self because of an infatuation for a notori-ous courtesan who was incapable of re-turning the feeling he had for her. She is the same woman for whom another young man killed himself in a sporting house something over a year ago and in this case as in the former one, she appeared at the inquest so hardened and caloused that she could even laugh and giggle in the pres-ence of the solemn inquiry. At the inquest Thursday, the fact was brought out in the evidence that Kimbry and the woman had repeatedly quarreled and fought and that at the time of the last quarrel she had “bat-tered” his face. When asked the cause of the quarrel, the question struck her as ex-ceedingly funny and she laughed outright when she replied that it was jealousy. The apparent absolute lack of feeling on the part of the woman reminded one of Kipling’s poem, “The Vampire,” the theme seemed to fit the case so exactly. She never did know, she never could know and she never could care what Kimby’s feeling for her was like. Kimbry lavished his money and his affection upon her and finally when made to know his case was hopeless he gave his life for his foolishness, yet the vam-pire in her made it possible for her to sit in that court of solemn inquiry and laugh when she thought of what a fool had made of that man. And it is this phase of the case that ought to cause other young men to stop and think who have inclinations in the

same direction. It is not the first occasion by several in which the people of the Pass have been given reason to deplore the spectacle of a worthy young man yielding to the fascinations of the class of woman in question until irretrievably attached. Kimb-ry’s tragic end should furnish food for re-flection for others who may be similarly tempted.

Wow! … A woman at Wilmer, according to the Outcrop, put nine eggs under a hen and got ten chickens. That’s going some! But the Star heard of a woman at Fort Steele who put 13 eggs under a hen and got three woodpeckers, one crow, one mud turtle, two ducks, three turkeys, one parrot, a ca-nary and several lice.

A soak soaked … A serio-comic inci-dent occurred at the new Corbin Bridge across the Kootenay last Monday. A labor-er, with a bundle of blankets strapped to his back, and who was considerably the worse of for liquor, attempted to walk across the new structure. The ties are not yet laid and it takes a pretty steady head to walk the timbers at the best. When the man was out about midway over the stream he lost his balance and fell about 50 feet into the river below. The workmen viewed the occur-rence with horror, expecting of course the man would drown before aid could reach him. The man came up again like a cork, however, and without any apparent frustra-tion. Throwing his arm over his bundle of blankets, he floated on down the stream as cool as a duck. A boat was hastily put out and the man was towed into shore. On reaching land, he climbed the bank and started off to town apparently none the worse for his high dive except for his be-draggled appearance. It is related that when the alarmed men in the boat reached him he remarked “Don’t get excited boys … keep cool!”

Boating on ColumbiaRE: Boating Regulation on the upper

Columbia RiverAfter many years of public consultation,

and through the support of a wide range of local stakeholder groups throughout the Columbia Valley, Transport Canada has published pending federal regulation, es-tablishing a 20 hp limit for boats on the main channel of the upper Columbia River through the Columbia Wetlands Wildlife Management Area. This regulation is de-signed to protect the environment, wildlife and wildlife habitat in the world renowned Columbia Wetlands.

This is the third, long-awaited and final part of a three-part regulation. The first two parts of the regulation were passed in 2009, designating the wetland portion of the Co-lumbia Wetland Wildlife Management Area as non-motorized and eliminating waterskiing and wake-boarding from the main channel of the upper Columbia River.

Wildsight has worked over the years with many stakeholder groups to reach a compromise of 20 horsepower, which is designed to accommodate historic and common usage of the river while still pro-viding environmental protection. This 20 hp compromise is widely supported. The regulation does not apply to either Lake Windermere or Columbia Lake. They will remain unaffected.

Wildsight understands that some peo-ple may wish the regulation was more re-strictive and some people will think it is too

restrictive. That is the nature of compro-mise. Wildsight celebrates this regulation and is proud of what has been accom-plished by a diverse group of people work-ing across sectors and traditional lines.

Boating on ColumbiaCominco Gardens gives a great deal

back to the City, the East Kootenay and in-deed the Province in return for a very small portion of Kimberley’s annual operating budget. A quick read of the 2015 provision-al budget shows an operating grant of just $73,115, with the Gardens’ total budget being under $96,000. The last I heard, pub-lic parks aren’t expected to be revenue generators. The Gardens do contribute about 24% of their total expense budget - not bad for an operation that has reportedly been squeezed by the City to keep its grant almost unchanged since 2008.

If the City of Kimberley has a budget problem, may I suggest that Cominco Gar-dens is not contributing to that problem.

When my wife and I moved to Kimber-ley in 1979, our rented house on Trail Street was a short walk from the Gardens. We derived a lot of pleasure from this little oasis, and like many residents, never missed a chance to show it off to visiting friends and relatives. Afternoon tea at the teahouse is something my Vancouver Is-land parents always remembered. Sadly,

the teahouse is a thing of the past and the Gardens have lost some of their brilliance in the intervening years - through no fault of the dedicated staff and dwindling base of volunteers.

As a photographer, I frequently found inspiration among the pathways and flower beds. Now I am retired and live in Cran-brook but still enjoy finding new images anytime I can drive up Townsite hill. I may not be a Kimberley taxpayer, but I do still feel a strong connection to the city and am one of many who has a memorial rose planted in the Gardens.

At a time when environmental steward-ship should be important to all of us, any suggestion that this botanical gem should cease to be publicly funded is just regres-sive. Even more so considering this is the same city that prides itself on the forward thinking that brought development of the SunMine. Let’s not forget - this is a 90 year-old historic public garden that was gifted to the City as a legacy for all. It’s a garden that residents of any B.C. municipality would be proud to have in their neighborhood.

Rather than talk of goring “sacred cows” as an offering to fed-up taxpayers, city council should recognize that Cominco Gardens is central to the heart and heritage of Kimberley. It’s not an infrastructure lia-bility. It’s very definitely an asset that needs council’s leadership and ongoing support.

Former Dynamiters general manager set to revamp Cranbrook Midget AA hockey program

Mike Reid aims to directly affiliate Cranbrook Midget AA program with Kimberley Dynamiters, make midget hockey ‘cool’ again

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Former Kimberley Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid (left) presents veteran defenceman Justin Meier (right) with his sweater during the Dynamiters annual awards banquet earlier this season. After a successful run with the Nitros, Reid is set to take over the Cranbrook Midget AA hockey program, with the intention of rebuilding it as a successful development ground for aspiring junior hockey players.

It didn’t take Mike Reid very long to find a new project within the world of the East Koote-nay hockey scene.

Having announced he was stepping away from his role as general manager of the KIJHL’s Kimberley Dynamiters after the 2015-16 season concluded, Reid is now moving into the role of head coach and general manager of the Cran-brook Midget AA hock-ey program, intent on reclaiming and revitaliz-ing an outfit that has seen tough times in re-cent years.

“You can [develop as a hockey player] coming through a smaller centre like Cranbrook, you don’t have to move,” Reid said Monday after-noon. “That’s been the biggest issue. We’ve probably lost over a dozen kids who move to Lethbridge or some of these academies. At the end of the day, I strongly feel that — other than the one per cent that might need to move away — these kids can all achieve their goals out of this area by com-ing through a properly run midget program.

“Our biggest thing will be getting the kids here and help them adopt that hockey life-style that [former Dyna-miters coach] Jerry Bancks talks about. You

adopt it at a young age in order to achieve your goals. That lifestyle is a commitment to your fit-ness, a commitment to your community, com-mitment to academics. Those things come through and when you’re 17 or 18, oppor-tunities will arise for these kids.”

Reid’s first order of duty is to host an infor-mation session and begin recruitment for players interested in committing to the hock-ey lifestyle he is preach-ing. Under Reid’s direc-tion, the first informa-tion meeting for the program will be held Thursday, April 21 (7 p.m.) upstairs at the Me-morial Arena in Cran-brook. The meeting is intended for interested players born in the years 1999, 2000 or 2001, hail-ing from both Cran-brook and Kimberley.

Additionally, the re-freshed program is ex-pected to affiliate with the KIJHL’s Kimberley Dynamiters in an effort to provide access to more hockey resources and create a more free-flowing develop-mental pipeline.

This is simply the first step in a long pro-cess that Reid has mapped out as he works towards restoring the Cranbrook Midget AA program to competitive status. In 2015-16, the Cranbrook Midget AA Knights went 0-13-0,

being outscored by a combined margin of 92-17 in the process after beginning the sea-son in the South Central Alberta Hockey League (SCAHL) before being forced to pull out of the league for a variety of reasons.

“Right now, it’s not cool to play midget [hockey] in Cranbrook,” Reid said. “We’ve got to make it cool, again, to play midget [hockey] in Cranbrook. By affiliating ourselves with the Dy-namiters and giving these kids an opportu-nity through that league, whether it be the Dyna-miters or other organi-zations, it will make it cool to be a part of the midget program again.”

While the aim is to affiliate with the Dyna-miters, Reid said players will not be obligated or bound to play Junior B hockey for the Kimber-ley-based squad should they wish to pursue other avenues, be that within the KIJHL or elsewhere.

“I’m going to run it as a Midget AAA program with expectations that would be the same as if you went to Lethbridge,” Reid said. “The only thing I can’t offer to these families and these kids is the level of com-petition of AAA. I can’t say we’re going to play against Lethbridge AAA teams or Calgary AAA teams. We’re not going to be in that, but what I

can offer is the struc-ture, practices, fitness and off-ice [lessons].

“I’m a big believer, now that I’ve been in-volved in junior hockey, that the 15- through 16-year-old years are pretty tough, especially coming out of a small centre. But if you com-mit yourself off the ice as much as you commit yourself on the ice, to get bigger, stronger and you’re more committed than the guy beside you, you’ll be able to achieve your goals.”

As far as Reid is con-cerned, the expectation is to be continually pre-paring, developing and moving local hockey players from midget on to the next level, equipped with the skills and knowledge required to keep advancing their careers and lives.

Reid believes there is a myth within minor hockey that suggests an aspiring player’s career is done if passed over at the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. As far as he is con-cerned, there remains ample opportunity to pursue the WHL, Junior A and various college routes (NCAA, ACHA, CIS and other Canadian colleges) well after a player goes undrafted, should that be the case.

“These are the late bloomers, these are the guys that are going to have to come through the backdoor to get into

Junior A or the WHL or off to university,” Reid said. “But it truly is at-tainable, though the program needs to be run a certain way and there needs to be more commitment.”

For starters, Reid will make his pitch to Cran-brook and Kimber-ley-based players still in the area. From there, he intends on reaching out to players who have left the area to play in places like Lethbridge or at other hockey-based academies, with the

hopes of bringing them home to hone their skills in their own back-yard right here in the East Kootenay.

“The first year is going to be tough, we’re going to rebuild the pro-gram and we’re going to be young,” Reid said. “But I think once we do that, we can make it cool to be a part of this pro-gram again.”

Reid has committed to the program for a minimum of three years, stressing continued and consistent mentorship

as key to aiding the turn-around in an effort to set up East Kootenay midg-et hockey players for success.

While the rest of his staff will be put in place later this summer, Reid stressed the affiliation with the Dynamiters program will help pro-vide additional mentor-ship from the new coaching staff as well as former coach Bancks.

The revamped Cran-brook Midget AA pro-gram is expected to re-join the SCAHL.

c aNaDIaN PrESSKARLSTAD, Sweden - Canada remained unbeat-

en at the world mixed doubles curling champion-ship on Tuesday by clobbering Serbia 14-0 at the Lofbergs Lila Arena.

The Saskatoon duo of Dustin Kalthoff and Mar-liese Kasner improved to 4-0 with the victory over Dara Gravara Stojanovic and Filip Stojanovic.

Canada scored five points in the opening end and the game was called after just six ends. Kasner threw at an 88 per cent clip, just ahead of Kalthoff at 83 per cent.

Filip Stojanovic, meanwhile, finished at 43 per cent while his partner threw at just 17 per cent.

Canada is tied with China for the Group D lead. The 16-team single-knockout playoff round begins Friday.

The combined results of the 2016 and 2017 world mixed doubles events will decide the seven teams that will join host South Korea at the 2018 Pyeongc-hang Games.

DALLAS - A Dallas grand jury is scheduled to consider this week whether to charge troubled NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel with attacking his ex-girlfriend in a January incident.

Prosecutors will present the case to grand jury Thursday, Brittany Dunn, a spokeswoman for Dallas County district attorney, said Tuesday. The grand jury could announce an indictment as soon as Mon-day. Police originally presented a misdemeanour as-sault case to prosecutors. That charge carries a maxi-mum punishment of one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Manziel, a former Cleveland Browns quarter-back and Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M, is accused of hitting his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear.

Crowley requested and was granted a protective order against the 23-year-old quarterback that pre-vents him from seeing her for two years.

Manziel was cut by the Browns in March after two seasons. Agent Drew Rosenhaus dropped Manziel as a client Tuesday, after only one month.

The box lacrosse sea-son is well underway in Cranbrook, as teams have been practicing for weeks in anticipation of this weekend’s home-opening festival at Kinsmen Arena.

According to Kath Backshell-Jones, presi-dent of the Cranbrook Lacrosse Association, registration numbers are up across the board with approximately 110 players enrolled throughout the tyke to junior/senior age groups as the program continues to excel.

“It’s a really good crossover sport [for hockey],” Back-shell-Jones said Tues-day. “There’s lots of sim-ilar skills and running, so fitness wise, people who have played la-crosse and went back into hockey have found their fitness levels way higher than other kids. Obviously, it’s a great, fun sport and it’s quite a physical sport. It’s teaching a lot of the kids how to behave in and out of the arena, too.

“It’s fantastic growth. Especially at the young-er ages, we’re getting a lot of kids coming up and through.”

The box lacrosse sea-

son officially fires up this Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at the Kinsmen Arena as the local association welcomes teams from the West Kootenay and Elk Valley to Cranbrook for a full day of action that isn’t scheduled to end until 6:30 p.m.

Backshell-Jones said the Cranbrook-based la-crosse program is the largest in the region with recent growth sparked by a variety of factors, including something as simple as the transition into a tournament-based season that sees the en-tire club, every team within every age group, travelling together from weekend to weekend.

After hosting their own home festival this weekend, the Cran-brook Lacrosse Associa-tion will pack its bags and haul over to the West Kootenay for the Castlegar Kootenay Fes-tival May 1.

Other big travel dates on the spring slate in-clude tournaments in Lethbridge (May 13 to 15), Strathmore, Alta. (June 3 to 5) and Medi-cine Hat (June 10 to 12). The club is also sched-uled to host a hybrid box/field lacrosse festi-val May 21 before ending the season with its year-end festival June 15.

“Families with two or three kids playing are all travelling together,” Backshell-Jones said. “There’s an amazing club spirit that we have right now, just within in-dividual teams, but with the club as a whole.

“[The kids] are so ex-cited, especially the younger ones that maybe haven’t played in very many games before. This is huge for them. They can’t wait to start competing. They’re very competitive kids, they love the game and we teach sportsmanship, so win or lose, they are still learning something every step of the way. This is the build up for our tournament season and the kids are abso-lutely buzzing. They can’t wait to get their jer-seys with their numbers.”

Backshell-Jones cred-ited much of the in-game progress to head coach Russ Sheppard, who has overseen the direction and education of all coaches within the pro-gram. Sheppard was un-available for comment prior to print deadline Tuesday afternoon.

While Sheppard’s contributions have been immeasurable over his years with the organiza-tion, the association is also thankful for the sup-

port of the community. This past Saturday,

the club held a bottle drive, which raised more than $3,000 to be put to-wards new goaltenders equipment as well as floor time at the Kins-men Arena, which Back-shell-Jones said is the largest annual expense

for the organization. Those interested in

supporting the Cran-brook Lacrosse Associa-tion are encouraged to visit the club’s website at w w w . c r a n b r o o k l a -crosse.com, the Kins-men Arena during prac-tices (all practice sched-ules available online) or

this weekend’s festival.“We’re always look-

ing for coaches and we’re always looking for referees,” Back-shell-Jones said. “We run those courses whenever we can, so if anybody wants to get in-volved in that way, they can visit our website,

which is jam-packed with information.”

The Cranbrook La-crosse Association is dedicated to providing a youth sports experience for boys and girls that builds character and ca-maraderie, which will last a lifetime.

The East Kootenay will be well represented at the annual B.C. Cup beginning Thursday in Salmon Arm.

Forwards Erik Delaire of Cranbrook and Braid-en Koran of Kimberley have been named to the roster for the 2016 B.C. Cup, which runs from April 21 to 24 at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm.

Additionally, Koote-nay Ice assistant coach Gordon Burnett will represent the club as an assistant coach for one of the six teams at the annual jamboree.

Outside of Cranbrook and Kimberley, Nikolas Sombrowski (Fernie) and Dace Prymak (In-vermere) will represent

the region as well.The B.C. Cup is an

annual jamboree-style tournament for hockey players under the age of 16. Six teams of the top-120 players from across the province in the U-16 age bracket are selected and randomly mixed.

Players will be run through off-ice combine testing and on-ice prac-tice sessions Thursday, before moving into gameplay Friday, Satur-day and Sunday.

Based on perfor-mance at the tourna-ment, players are cho-sen to participate in a smaller provincial camp in July. From the provin-cial camp, 20 players will be named to Team B.C. and will compete at the 2016 Western Cana-da U16 Challenge Cup.

The B.C. Cup also serves as a major oppor-tunity for Western Hockey League scouts to get a last viewing of players ahead of the

WHL Bantam Draft, scheduled for May 5.

1906, continuedChange needed … Too

many young men often refer to their mother as the “old woman.” Perhaps you did not mean it that way, but it sound-ed coarse and brutal. No true son refers to his mother as the “old woman.” Quite likely she is old, and gray and wrinkled but it is also quite likely that some of those gray hairs and a few of those wrinkles were caused by the long vigils she put in at your bedside when youthful ills were trying to claim you. Mother doesn’t like to be referred as the old

woman. It makes her feel as though she had run her race and was now only in the way. The world has no use for the boy who doesn’t reverence his mother. The man who loves and respects his mother has to be pretty mean before the community will go back on him altogether. The boy who sees to it that mother doesn’t have to bring in a bucket of coal or sweep the snow off the porch is doing more toward attracting the attention of the Lord than the man who gives $1,000 toward building a new church. When she is gone, my boy, it will be a whole lot of

satisfaction to know that you always spoke of her tenderly as “mother.”

Undertaking undertaking … The Co-Operative Stores have reopened an undertaking establishment in connection with their furniture depart-ment, and the services have been secured of an experi-enced undertaker and em-balmer, who will have full charge of this department. A nicely furnished parlor has been fitted up in the Gilpin building, from which fraternal society and other funerals may be directed, The C. C. S. have one of the finest funeral cars in

the Kootenays, and all other branches of this department will be conducted along the most up-to-date lines, though in a quiet and becoming man-ner suitable to such occasions.

Streets to be sprinkled ... The City Council will soon call for tenders for sprinkling the following streets: From bridge on Van Horne to Baker street, from Van Horn to Norbury, from Baker to Lewis on Han-son avenue, along Lewis to Armstrong then to Baker, from Baker to bridge on Cranbrook street, from Baker to Morley’s office on Norbury avenue.

To-night: Release tension through a visit to the gym!GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You could be on overload, and no matter what you do, the choices you make seem to be burden-some. An associate will hesitantly pitch in. You cannot change this person’s attitude, but you can be grateful for his or her help. Tonight: Steer clear of a manipu-

lative loved one.CANCER (June 21-July 22)Your fiery temperament emerg-es, surprising many people, as they tend to see your softer side more often. Dealing with a con-trolling, obstinate individual will be difficult and irritating. Distract yourself from thinking about this problem too much. Tonight: Cele-brate the moment.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Keep conversations rolling in order to get past a problem. Your creativity emerges after you get past certain self-imposed restric-tions. You could see a situation from a different viewpoint or from a new position. Enjoy what is hap-pening. Tonight: Go with the flow.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Note a tendency to become de-manding with wanting certain matters to be handled in a cer-tain way. Intensity marks a new friend’s behavior. You could find that your temper rises to the surface easily. Emotional ups and downs happen easily. Tonight: Midweek break.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You tend to make the right choic-

es; however, you might waver back and forth for a while be-tween options. It is important to you to go through this process, so that you are sure of yourself. A situation on the homefront could be disconcerting. Tonight: Others respond well.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Maintain a low-profile, especially as you might run into someone who is inordinately challeng-ing. You know what you want, but understand why there is an obstacle in your path. You could feel unusually tight with regard to your funds. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You might want to focus on a get-together with a friend. A dis-cussion involving money, whether it is a business matter or simply a desire to purchase along-desired item, could become contentious and difficult. Honor some fast changes. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Take the lead in a major discus-sion. You might not feel very good about a certain situation, and

as a result, you will desire more control. You could find this situ-ation difficult to work through. Tap into your creativity, and walk away from negativity. Tonight: A must show.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Reach out to someone at a dis-tance. The more opinions you hear, the more possibilities there will be. Go through the process. Refuse to sabotage yourself by getting caught in the middle of an intense power play. Tonight: Relax to some music or an enjoy-able movie.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Your strong ability to relate emerges. You can do only so much to open someone up. The prob-lem likely isn’t because of you, but rather because of something going on with him or her. Rec-ognize your limits rather instead of becoming frustrated. Tonight: Add morelaughter. BORN TODAYActress Jessica Lange (1949), actressCarmen Electra (1972), actor GeorgeTakei (1937)

Dear Annie: I’m 55 and have been married to the same man for 27 years. Before we met, my husband had been living with “Miran-da” for six years. Although Miranda has had many relationships since, she never mar-ried. All these years, my mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law have maintained a relation-ship with this woman, often meeting for lunch. They support and attend all her char-ity events. What really is galling is that they do all these things behind my back. No one even had the respect to tell me that Miranda was invited to my sister-in-law’s wedding. I was a bridesmaid and was shocked to see her name on a place card for the reception. I have always been close to my husband’s family. We all live in the same town, while my family is out of state. I am constantly hosting holiday and birthday dinners for them, and helping their families with what-ever arises. I have tried being the dutiful daughter and sister-in-law, but my patience is wearing thin. My husband doesn’t attend these events, but he does email Miranda occasionally. I found out that my in-laws drove hours to get to her brother’s funeral when my husband mentioned in passing that his sister’s car broke down on the way. I am so hurt that this is going on after all these years. One day, my sisters-in-law treat me like their BFF, and the next day, they spend time with Miranda. Not only have I become distrusting of them, I have taken a major step back from our previously close relationship. Am I too sensitive and insecure, or is the situation just weird? --Stressed Dear Stressed: Actually, had your in-laws stopped contact with Miranda and then picked it up again after 27 years, we’d find that weird. But since they have been in touch the entire time, we’d say you shouldn’t try to dictate their friendships -- even with ex-girl-friends. You believe that your in-laws are untrustworthy because they haven’t told you, but we think they are sparing your feel-ings. They obviously tell your husband, who chooses not to transmit the information to you, likely for the same reason. Your in-laws have been friends with Mi-randa longer than they have known you. We suggest you tell them how hurt you are that they feel they must hide their contact with Miranda and, although you don’t need to know the details, you’d prefer not to be kept in the dark. As long as they aren’t trying to undermine your marriage, you have no cause for concern, and it would be a shame to let this wreck the good relationship you’ve built over the years. Dear Annie: You printed a suggestion from “Indiana,” saying that it might be easier for “Confused and Torn” to bear the loss of her beloved Pomeranian if she has the dog cre-mated and states in her will that she wants the ashes put in her coffin. While this is a lovely idea, it will not help to put it in her will. Wills are read after the funeral. She needs to make arrangements in advance with her family and friends, letting everyone know her wishes. -- Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Earth’s record monthly heat streak has hit 11 months in a row - a record in itself.

The National Ocean-ic and Atmospheric Ad-ministration an-nounced Tuesday that March’s average global temperature of 54.9 de-grees (12.7 degrees) was not only the hottest March, but continues a record streak that start-ed last May.

According to NOAA climate scientist Jessica Blunden, the 11 heat re-cords in a row smashes a streak of 10 set in 1944. Climate scientists say this is a result of El Nino, along with relentless, man-made global warming.

Blunden and Mi-chael Mann at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania worry that people will be desensitized to the drumbeat of broken re-cords and will not real-ize the real effect they have on weather - for

Earth’s hot streak continues for a record eleven months

example, massive changes in what is sup-posed to be winter in the Arctic. Greenland had a record early start for its ice sheet melting. The Arctic had its small-est winter maximum for sea ice and it was the second smallest March snow cover for the Northern Hemisphere.

“It’s becoming mo-notonous in a way,” said Jason Furtado, a meteo-rology professor at the University of Oklahoma. “It’s absolutely disturb-ing ... We’re losing criti-

cal elements of our cli-mate system.”

March was 2.2 de-grees (1.2 degrees Cel-sius) warmer than the 20th-century average. That’s a record amount above average for any month, breaking the mark set only the month before. Africa and the Indian Ocean were es-pecially warm, Blunden said.

The first three months of the year were 2.07 degrees warmer than normal (1.15 de-grees Celsius) and half a

degree (0.28 degrees Celsius) warmer than the previous record start, set last year.

Beyond NOAA, NASA, the Japanese weather agency and sat-ellite tracking measure-ments have reported that March was a record hot month. Blunden said there’s a good chance April will mark a solid year of records. Eventually, she said, the record setting streak will come to an end as the El Nino dissipates.

El Nino, a warming of parts of the Pacific which changes weather worldwide, tends to push global tempera-tures up. La Nina, its cooling flip side, is fore-cast for later this year.

For NOAA, this is the 37th time monthly heat records have been bro-ken since the year 2000, but it has been more than 99 years since the last time a global cold record has been set.

NOAA records go back to 1880.

March was 2.2 degrees (1.2 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th-century average.

Alice Cecila Bahrey nee Wilder

July 15, 1923 – January 28, 2016Alice passed away peacefully at Joseph Care Village, Cranbrook, BC, in the early hours of January 28, 2016.

Alice was born in Canora, Saskatchewan to Charles and Celia Wilder and was raised along with four brothers and three sisters on the farm near Beaver Bank School.

Alice took her teachers training in Saskatoon and taught in various one room schools before a move to the big city of Vancouver where she worked in the Banking World. Teaching was in her blood however and she took a job at Cranbrook Central School to be close to her family in the Windermere Valley. It was at Central School where she met fellow teacher Steven Bahrey. After a school year of romance, they were married at the Cranbrook United Church on the last day of school, June 1950. A marriage that would last close to 64 years. Alice continued to teach & tutor as she loved children and would light up in their company. She went on to excel as a homemaker, Super Mom & Wife, raising along with Steven, sons Douglas and Chris. Alice was also a sportswoman who enjoyed skiing, golf, curling, camping & bridge.

As a member of the Cranbrook United Church, Alice was an active participant in the community.

Alice was a gentle, stylish lady who enjoyed a laugh and the quiet company of others.

Alice was predeceased by brothers Ray, Earl, Lloyd & Curtis; sisters Etta and Evelyn, son Douglas and husband Steve.

She is survived by son Chris (Patricia) – grandchildren Kirsten & Michael, sister Florence and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 p.m., Cranbrook United Church, #2 12th Ave. S. In lieu of flowers, go visit an old or new friend.

Last year’s forest fire had an early start due to drought, and this year has seen even earlier starts in areas of dry grass.

Forest fire season starts early in north, Cariboo

Tom FleTcherBlack Press

A rash of grass and forest fires in the Peace region has the B.C. wildfire season off to an early start this week, after small fires were brought under control near Burns Lake and in the Cariboo in the past week.

The B.C. Wildfire Service re-corded 49 fire starts across the province on Monday alone, with 37 of them in the Prince George fire centre. There were evacuation orders or alerts in four locations around Fort St. John, with the largest fire estimated at 3,000 hectares.

Forests Minister Steve Thom-son said Tuesday the activity is several weeks earlier than last spring, prompted by high tem-peratures and winds in the Peace region that have since abated.

“This is an early start,” Thom-son said. “It doesn’t necessarily indicate what the long-term out-look for the fire season will be.”

Chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said the main for-est fire season isn’t until July and August, and snowpacks and long-range forecasts for rainfall are not

reliable indicators of severity.“It’s not uncommon to have an

early spring grass fire season in B.C., but certainly not the level of activity that we’re seeing in the Peace region and elsewhere,” Skrepnek said.

The province added $10 mil-lion to this year’s budget for wild-fire protection and fuel manage-ment projects.

So far this spring there have been prescribed burns near Pem-berton, Lytton, Savona near Kam-loops and the Chimney Lake re-

gion in the Cariboo.Thomson said the province

has 1,400 staff ready to work on wildfires this season, with another 1,600 contract staff available and aircraft and other equipment standing by.

The Martin Mars aircraft based at Sproat Lake on Vancouver Is-land are not part of the ministry’s firefighting plan for the year, as other aircraft have shown their quick response and efficiency, Thomson said.

Alberta fires force people from homesc anadian Press

Grass and brush fires forced people from their homes in some small communities west of Edmon-ton Tuesday as dry conditions and hot temperatures pushed the danger to as high as extreme.

Parkland County issued a mandatory evacuation alert for people who live in and around the hamlet of Duffield.

Carson Mills, a county spokesman, said people from about 80 homes have registered at a communi-ty evacuation centre.

“Right now there are no homes lost and no one has been injured,” Mills said.

“We have got firefighters, we have aircraft all doing everything they can to contain this fire and make sure it doesn’t grow.”

Residents of Clear Lake and some other subdivi-sions in the area have been told to be ready to leave

on short notice.The threat of flames and smoke also caused a

precautionary evacuation of part of the Paul First Nation.

Municipalities and the province have issued more than 45 fire bans, 12 fire restrictions and 34 fire advi-sories.

“We are encouraging Albertans to use extreme caution and avoid burning if possible,” Laura Stew-art, an Alberta wildfire officer said.

“It is warm and dry across the province. Under these conditions wildfires can start easily and spread quickly.”

Stewart said the wildfire threat in the province this spring is earlier than normal.

Officials said there have been 157 wildfires in Al-berta’s forest protection area so far this year com-pared with 106 at this time in 2015.

Moose invading Newfoundland capitalC anadian Press

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - Newfound-land’s capital is suddenly overrun with moose, with residents report-ing close encounters across St. John’s, and police warning drivers to be on the lookout for antlers.

The Royal Newfoundland Con-stabulary said it has received mul-tiple calls in the past two days, al-though no collisions have been reported.

An RNC spokesperson said moose usually migrate to the big city around this time of year, but the sudden appearance of so many moose has social media alight.

One Twitter user said a baby moose followed his daughter to the bus stop. The RNC itself joked after a sighting near a Goodlife Fitness centre in Mount Pearl that “Today was a ‘leg day.”’

The island of Newfoundland

has the highest concentration of moose in the world. Between 500 and 600 moose-vehicle crashes are reported annually there, with five to 10 serious injuries per year and an average of one human death.

Last April, Newfoundland launched a five-year moose man-agement plan Monday, partly aimed at reducing moose-vehicle crashes.
