The Grade One class from the Kimberley Independent School was in Creston last week to participate in the last Sturgeon Release program in Creston BC. Studies have shown that the Sturgeon population is doing well.

Read his lips. Mayor Don McCormick made a bold statement at Kim-berley City Council Monday evening, saying that the goal for next year has to be no in-crease in property taxes.

Taxes were under discussion as Council adopted the slate of by-laws that put the 2015 fi-nancial plan into action. Council adopted the Fi-nancial Plan Bylaw, the Tax Rates Bylaw, the Flat Tax Bylaw, the Parcel Tax Bylaw and the Reserve Expenditures Bylaw.

The Flat Tax Bylaw drew some comment as

two councillors, Bev Middlebrook and Darryl Oakley, indicated that they were very interest-ed in its elimination. Coun. Kent Goodwin has also stated in the past that he’d like to see it go.

Kimberley is one of the few communities in B.C. that still has a flat tax, Oakley said, and some that do, such as Powell River, are phas-ing it out.

“I look forward to a discussion around the flat tax next year,” he said. “We need to find a way to eliminate it and reduce impact on small-er homes.”

TRE VOR CR AWLEY

A pair of hikers were rescued off of Fisher Peak this past weekend by Cranbrook Search and Rescue after re-quired an airlift due to a leg injury.

The pair were hiking up Maus Creek on Sat-urday and decided to head up the Fisher Peak trail until the snow got too heavy. After one of the hikers stepped into the snow, it gave way and his leg was cut open by a rock underneath.

Search and Rescue deployed at roughly 6:20

p.m. to a call for an in-jured hiker and were able to locate the pair, but didn’t have enough time to get them off the mountain by nightfall.

“The hiker had a fall and injured his leg and we put a team together and hiked in,” said Greg Bedwell, with Cran-brook SAR. “We located him, got him all settled, it was getting too dark, quite steep terrain and we didn’t want to get caught on the side of the mountain in the dark.

Chamber provides update on activities

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley Chamber of Commerce Manager Mike Guarnery paid a visit to the City Council on Monday evening to provide an update on what the Chamber has been up to and what is coming up on the hori-zon.

With the chamber fee for service contract with the City now signed, the Chamber’s new emphasis on business ad-vocacy is continuing.

The Chamber has been working with local restaura-teurs on the Kimberley Restau-rant Coalition.

“We have identified the best methods to move forward with the coalition,” Guarnery said. “A group is meeting under the structure of the Chamber. It’s

generally restaurant owners with the Chamber infrastruc-ture.”

One of the most pressing needs, according Guarnery, was another food safe course being offered in Kimberley, both for current staff and future hires.

Guarnery says the Down-town Business Association was pleased to see the Platzl walk-way being taken down.

The DBA has also met with the First Saturdays group to discuss this summer’s pro-gram, which begins in July.

“With a shorter season, the First Saturday group, which is the Arts Council, want to get business on board,” he said. “First Saturday is looking for business donations and in-volvement in their fundraising silent auction in July.”

Last week, JCI sponsored a live broadcast of Leadercast at the Kimberley Conference Centre. Guarnery said that about 300 people attended.

“Generally I feel like you can only talk so much about lead-ership, but it was really insight-ful,” he said. “We had people from all over the region. It real-ly highlighted the conference centre.”

This coming September, the Kimberley Conference Centre will be hosting BC Community Futures conference. Guarnery says the Chamber is focusing on making sure that attendees have an opportunity to experi-ence all that Kimberley has to offer, from golfing to train rides to shopping, dining and more.

“We are making sure people will have time to do something in Kimberley, to have an op-portunity to experience Kim-berley.”

Guarnery also said that the

Chamber is pursuing regional economic development, meet-ing with the regional commit-tee.

The BC Chamber meeting in Prince George is also up-coming and Guarnery says the Kimberley Chamber team will be attending to lobby for their positions.

Chambers don’t always agree with what the provincial Chamber may be planning, and one particular position is troubling to Kimberley. Guarnery says that the provin-cial chamber is advocating to have the BC and Alberta Family Days lined up to be on the same weekend.

“We are not in agreement on that,” he said.

In fact, the BC ski industry in general was instrumental in having the holidays on sepa-rate weekends.

him comfortable, stabi-lized him and we had a helicopter come in the morning and we long-lined him down to the waiting ambulance.”

The injured man was removed at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. In total, there were six Cran-brook SAR members and two Kimberley SAR

members who were a part of the operation.

SAR were also called out on two other inci-dents this past weekend to assist with B.C. Am-bulance Service. Those two incidents included an ATV rollover at Horseshoe Lake and a medical emergency 15 kilometres up the Wild-horse.

From Page 1“I will support it this

year, but we need a good discussion next year,” Middlebrook said.

“I will be bold,” Mc-Cormick said. “The goal next year needs to be a zero per cent increase in property taxes (the mill rate) so we can take these actions.”

Kimberley does break utility costs out of the mill rate as well, and those will rise in each of the next several years to deal with infrastructure

deficit. The flat tax is $786 for a residential property with improve-ments and $310 for a residential property without improvements. The Aquatic Centre par-cel tax is increased to $152 in 2015.

The 2015 Financial Plan calls for a 3% in-crease on Residential Class taxes, and a 2% increase on Light In-dustrial, Business and Other and Recreation Class taxes.

Goal is no tax increase for

Family event raises funds for

families

Jenny Byford

JCI Kootenay (Junior Chamber International), Fort Steele Heritage Town and Family Fish-ing Derby sponsors are being thanked for a suc-cessful Family Fun Derby at Fort Steele after unseasonably warm weather spoiled plans for the traditional ice fishing event at Horse-shoe Lake.

In place of the Family Fishing Derby, JCI Koo-tenay and Fort Steele Heritage Town teamed up earlier this March to host an active, outdoor event for children and families across the Koo-tenays. The Fun Derby kept participants enter-tained with a host of games and contests in-cluding children’s mys-tery catch, bean bag toss, sack race, arts and crafts, tug-o-war, three legged races, wagon rides and a scavenger hunt. The Wildhorse Theatre also featured two showings of the popular animated movie Penguins of Madagas-

car. For the adults, there was an adult fly casting competition, silent auc-tion, door prizes and 50/50 draw. Hot coffee, hot chocolate and chilli were generously provid-ed by Cranbrook Tim Hortons.

In addition to fund-raising over $7,700, local sponsors made some dreams come true for local children. Dean and Tracey Uphill of Dacota Freight sponsored a trip to Disneyland for Elkford cancer survivor Evan

Payne-Smuin and his family; this is a legacy Dean and Tracey have generously continued every year the Derby has been held. Sunshine Houseboats Ltd. spon-sored a houseboat vaca-tion for cancer survivor Austin Fahselt from Jaf-fray.

The winners of the children’s mystery catch included: Tayton Robi-son, Ronan Hong, Jack Dakin, Liam Temple and Dan Lunn. Kimberley’s 6-year-old Tayton Robi-

son won a 55” Plasma TV and 10-year-old Ronan Hong from Cran-brook won the PlaySta-tion system both courte-sy of Caliper Machine & Hydraulics. Rick Hed-rick was serendipitously the winner of both 50/50 draws and the adult fly casting competition.

The annual derby is a fundraiser to support children and families with cancer. Lynnette Wray, Canadian Cancer Society Team Lead for Financial Support Pro-grams expresses her ap-preciation to all in-volved:

“JCI Kootenay did an amazing job with this event, adjusting to some very challenging cir-cumstances, in terms of the warm weather. It was so generous of Fort Steele to step forward to provide an alternate lo-cation; that was an amazing example of our East Kootenay commu-nity spirit. The funds raised by JCI Kootenay will be used to assist people with their travel and accommodation ex-penses to attend cancer treatment, through our Canadian Cancer Soci-ety Financial Support Program. The Financial

Support Program is very well used in the Koote-nays, due to our distance from major cancer treat-ment centres in BC, such as Kelowna and Vancouver, as well as Al-berta treatment centres in Calgary and Leth-bridge.”

After an unusually mild winter, many of the Society’s winter-orient-ed fundraising events were cancelled across the province. Wray notes the Society is especially grateful for the alterna-tive Fun Derby. “On be-half of the Canadian Cancer Society, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to JCI Kootenay, Fort Steele, all the busi-nesses and organiza-tions that donated to the event, and everyone who attended. We look forward to an even big-ger and better event next year.” With a better win-ter, the event will return to the ice next year.

Special thanks to the Derby’s generous event sponsors who contribut-ed time, services and donations and those who were willing should the original ice derby have proceeded.

horizon are changing Kimberley’s busking bylaw, a traffic survey in the Platzl to determine how delivery issues are affecting Kimberley business and expanding the role of Invest Koote-nays.

And then there are the events, such as Can-ada Day, First Saturdays, Light Up and the big one, JulyFest. Although the new Chamber con-tract does not require that the Chamber host

these events, they are still on the calendar.

“What we agreed in the new contract is that these events don’t rep-resent the business ac-tivity we want to be the focus of the fee for ser-vice contract,” Mayor Don McCormick ex-plained. “But these events fall into the cate-gory of helping the busi-ness community so the Chamber will continue them.

“JulyFest is a bit dif-ferent. That’s always been a Chamber fund-raiser and they make quite a bit of money on it. It’s an important part of the business model for the Chamber, but it doesn’t need to be part of the fee for service contract.”

Guarnery says that a JulyFest coordinator has been hired and that people should expect the same sort of enthu-siasm and events as last year.

More than $500,000 in

funding announced

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Pro-gram (FWCP) and Co-lumbia Basin Trust (the Trust) have approved 11 fish and wildlife projects that will help conserve and enhance ecosystems in the upper Kootenay River watershed, including Koocanusa Reservoir. These projects are the first to be funded under the Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhance-ment Plan, developed jointly by the FWCP and the Trust.

Four fish and seven wildlife projects were approved for a total of more than $500,000.

“These projects will begin to address long-standing concerns regarding the impacts of Libby Dam and the Koocanusa Reservoir on fish and wildlife,” said Dave White, Public Representative on the F W C P - C o l u m b i a Board. “The public identified an important gap and we are really

excited to partner with the Trust to start to fill that gap by implement-ing the plan that guides conservation efforts in this watershed.”

The projects will in-clude a range of activi-ties, from inventory mapping sensitive hab-itats around Koocanusa Reservoir, to replacing culverts and reconnect-ing high-value fish hab-itat in the Gold Creek watershed, to restoring grassland ecosystems near Elko and Wycliffe. Other projects will sup-port amphibians, West-slope cutthroat trout and bull trout; control the spread of invasive plants; and test the fea-sibility of relocating mule deer from urban areas to areas where their populations are in decline. Projects in the future, under the Plan, may also include incor-porating some trans-boundary fish and wildlife work.

“We want a mix of on-the-ground projects and information-based projects aimed at im-proving our under-standing of the ecosys-tems, which will help inform conservation

planning and support management decisions and hands-on work in the future,” added White. “These projects will do just that.”

Columbia Basin

Trust provided $3 mil-lion to develop the plan and fund local fish and wildlife projects over the next three to five years. The FWCP, which already coordinates

and supports fish and wildlife work in the re-gion, will oversee deliv-ery of the projects.

“Since we an-nounced our partner-ship with the FWCP in

spring 2013, we’ve been working together to ad-dress important eco-logical issues that affect environmental well-be-ing in the area,” said Kindy Gosal, Columbia

Basin Trust Director, Special Initiatives. “Through this plan we now extend that collab-oration to other groups with an interest in the future of the region so they can provide their expertise with projects on the ground. We an-ticipate seeing tangible results that make a last-ing difference.”

Learn more about the Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhance-ment Plan and the proj-ects approved for 2015/16 at fwcp.ca (see Columbia Region 2015 Project Summary).

The FWCP is a part-nership between BC Hydro, the Province of BC, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders to con-serve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams.

Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver social, econom-ic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

First Projects to help fish and wildlife under new plan

Bighorn sheep are one of the species being helped by the projects.

College of the Rock-ies is celebrating 40 years of providing post-secondary educa-tion to the region. Sam Steele Days is celebrat-ing 50 years of the Sam Steele Sweetheart Youth Ambassador program.

In honour of these two big anniversaries, the College is calling on graduates from the past forty years to help us celebrate by being part of our float in the Sam Steele Parade. No mat-ter if you took a full pro-gram, just a course or two, or if the College was called East Koote-nay Community College while you were here, your participation would be greatly valued. This event is a precursor

to further anniversary celebrations that will take part later in the year.

The time commit-ment would be minimal for alum that choose to take part; the College would need you for the duration of the parade only. This is a great op-portunity to show that you’re a proud graduate of your local College – and you’ll get a free t-shirt as well.

If you would like to take part in the Sam Steele parade float, are looking for more infor-mation, or are an alum-nus that would like to be kept informed of other College events, contact Darryl at [email protected]

For the Bulletin

In recent weeks, some special children’s events have taken place at Marysville Communi-ty Church. During Spring Break there was a Kid’s Zone 5-Day Club, where the children en-joyed games, singing and snacks, while learn-ing about the last week of Jesus’ life, Scripture verses, and about the Missionary Hudson Tay-lor, founder of China In-land Mission. 19 chil-dren registered for Kid’s Zone with an average of 11 attending throughout the week.

In Sunday School, the children learned about attitudes for several weeks. Attitudes such as anger/self-control, fear/faith, selfishness/gener-osity, pride/humility, complaining/thankful-ness, impatience/pa-tience, pouting/ joy, for instance; and how to im-plement positive atti-tudes into one’s life. The children did crafts and

learned songs to go along with the positive attitudes theme. On the Sunday before Easter they gave a presentation to a delighted congrega-tion based on their les-sons.

On Easter Sunday, some adults and chil-dren presented the Good Friday story using vari-ous objects. This was followed by the children performing a play called “He’s Alive,” depicting Jesus, the Risen Saviour meeting Mary Magda-lene, His disciples, and over 500 people before He went to heaven. The children sang a favourite hymn, “He Lives” with the congregation joining them on the chorus. Af-terwards, a brief mes-sage was presented by Pastor Sorenson, called the “Meaning of Easter”. We all rejoiced as we sang “Crown Him with Many Crowns!” We then enjoyed a lovely potluck luncheon downstairs in our Fellowship Hall.

News from Marysville Community Church

Cranbrook, BC, May 11, 2015… This past week the team at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Renal Di-alysis Unit welcomed the addition of a new wheelchair scale compliments of the East Kootenay Foundation for

Health. The patient simply walks, or is wheeled, onto the weight platform and is weighed. The foundation pro-vided $4,000 in funding thanks to gen-erous donations received from EK-FH’s annual Starlite Campaign.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2015

There are two vehicles parked in my carport, and they’re both paid for. This is not a boast; it is a statement of fact. One is almost brand new; the other is extremely old, has a cracked windshield, some rust and quite a few battle scars, but I cannot get rid of it because I love it so dearly.

The almost new vehicle, a S.U.V., is frightfully mod-ern, with all the bells and whistles you could wish for. In fact, it has far too many for my liking. It is like hav-ing a brand new cholicky baby in the house and it is causing me restless nights. It shouldn’t be that way; I am far too old for that sort of nonsense.

I should be joyfully revelling in my S.U.V. and barrelling down the highways, my sun-roof ajar, the music blaring from the several speakers. In fact, if one were as old as I am, be just like Toad of Toad Hall in his brand–new motor-car.

But it is not generally that way. I would just love to turn a key. Listen to the engine roar into life, wind the window down by hand, put my foot on the clutch and shove the gear into first, then charge off into the wild without a single flashing light and definitely no warning ‘peep’ twittering at me. I just hate to be nagged when I am out

for a drive.I mean I can’t even “bump start” the

S.U.V. if I have an incident with a failing battery. It is no use parking facing downhill on a slope just in case. In fact, I can’t park anywhere on a slope because, if I do so, the

darn vehicle’s doors won’t lock.

To tell the truth, those hand-held key-less locking devices were invented by Satan himself. Like last week. After delivering some friends to their place and seeing them safely inside, I

drove home and parked in the carport. I put the beast into park, pulled on the hand-brake, pushed the button to switch off the engine and then stepped out and shut the door. I was ready for bed, but not so the vehicle; it kept twittering like a baby being left alone as I tried to lock up. I closed the door even more firmly and lights flickered like a Christmas tree inside.

It’s a waste of time saying “sshh!” to cars so I said several rude words and walked around the beast slamming all five doors decisively. Twitter! I climbed wearily back into the driver’s seat, re-started the motor, checked that I had in fact put the gear-shift into park and lugged on the hand brake then once more switched off the motor. I

climbed out carefully, closed the door firmly and again tried the electronic key. Finally, like an exhausted parent, I sneaked away, expecting at any moment an out-burst of childish petulance and wondering if I might have to resort to warming a bottle of milk.

I know that I am electronically inept except for operating light switches, using the coffee maker and plugging in the vacu-um cleaner. After all, it was my 12- year-old grand-daughter who had to install my first computer and wire my work-shed. So I am inclined to panic when I am faced with a new TV or anything else that involves elec-tricity. Thank goodness I no longer need that hair-drier.

Years ago, the battery in an old clunky car of mine died up in the mountains near Fernie. Four of us pushed that weighty beast up the slope about a 100 feet and then let friend Bill bump it into action. We drove home in the dark without benefit of head-lights or flashing lights.

Right now I am faced with the awful task of plugging in a new keyboard and mouse so I am putting off the awful mo-ment and, leaving that cholicky baby in in the carport, taking a quick drive some-where, anywhere, in my old clunker. I know that it might break-down at the drop of a hat, but it won’t nag me.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

To w n s m a n s Ta f fThe month long East Koote-

nay Performing Arts Festival, which ran through April, came to a culmination Monday, May 11, with its showcase concert at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook.

Dozens of young musicians and vocalists from around the region took to stages around Cranbrook for performances and classes in strings, voice, piano and speech and dramat-ic arts. Those disciplines were well-represented Monday night in a broad and varied program — poetry and song, operatic excerpts, Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein, piano, vi-olin, Chamber Orchestra and Choir, even a rendition of a Stomping Tom Connors clas-sic.

The gala evening featured 26 performances by individu-als and groups. These includ-ed The Star Singers Boys Only, Keanu Chan, Phoebe Van Rensburg, Isabella Savage, Isa-bella Ferraro, Asia Franklin, the Kootenay Christian Acade-my Grade 5/6 Class, Jeremias and Felix Bolter, Nina Simons and Brooke Schley, Annika Murtagh, Eve MacBride, Lily Halley, the 4X4 String Quartet, Micah Meuleman, Pyper Standing and McKayla van der Roest, Carter Gulseth and Tessa Charlton, Nolan Flem-ing, Jueun Park, Emma Murtagh, Paris Hofmeister and Cameron Brown, the I.D.E.A.L. Chamber Orchestra, David Robertson, Gabriel Hoffman, Paulina Graham and the Vera Women’s Choir.

Following are the Award winners from the East Koote-nay Performing Arts Festival, and also the nominees for the Provincial Performing Arts Festival set for May 26 to May 30, in Powell River, BC.

Speech AwardsGeorgia Hamilton (Jim Pat-

tison Trophy); Cameron Brown and Paris Hofmeister (Special Recognition), St. Mary’s Kindergarten Class (Primary Speech Choir award), Kootenay Christian Academy Grade 6 (Intermediate Speech Choir award).

Letters to the editorKilling of mother bear

In response to the letter from Dave Quinn, I very much hope that the Conser-vation officers and the RCMP will investi-gate the cruel killing of a mother bear in

the McGinty Creek area because it is well-documented that atrocities commit-ted against animals are symptomatic of abuse against humans.

To protect the children, elders, wives and neighbours from those whose use fire-

arms in such an abusive and irresponsible way, I want the police and the public to know who they are.

Aggresive drivers targeted this May long weekendOn average, two people are killed and 490 injured in crashes throughout B.C. during the May Long Week-end. In the Southern Interior, an average of 68 people are injured in 260 crashes per year over the Victoria Day long weekend.

Many of these colli-sions can be attributed to high-risk driving behaviours such as fail-ing to yield the right-of-way, speeding, unsafe lane changes, tailgating and ignoring traffic control devises.

This May Long Week-end, police in the East Kootenay will be out in force targeting aggressive drivers, “Sgt. Don Erichsen of the East Kootenay Traffic warns, “If you are traveling through

the Kootenay National Park or anywhere along Hwy 3 this weekend, you can count on seeing police officers out enforcing high-risk driving behaviours and tolerance for aggres-sive behaviour will be extremely low. Our goal is to discourage driving behaviours that increase your risk of crashing and endanger everyone on our roads.”

Violators are remind-ed that running afoul of British Columbia’s aggressive driving law could result in steep fines and/or vehicle impoundments.

So, whether you’ll be staying local or heading out of town this holiday weekend, the B.C. government, ICBC and police are urging driv-ers to avoid high-risk

driving behaviours.

Police will kick off their enforcement this weekend with a province-wide blitz on Friday.

ICBC tips:

• Share the road. Warmer spring weather means you’ll see more motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians on our roads. As drivers, we have a particular responsibility to help keep vulnerable road users safe. Actively watch for them, espe-cially at intersections, and make eye contact whenever possible.

• Leave space. Always maintain a safe travel-ing distance between vehicles to ensure you have enough time to react to the unexpected and reduce your risk

of being rear-ended. Allow at least two seconds of follow-ing distance in good conditions, and at least three seconds on high-speed roads or if you’re behind a motorcycle since they have a much shorter stopping dis-tance.

• Safe passing. If you’re planning to pass another vehicle, keep within the speed limit and always signal, check your mirrors and shoulder check first. Ensure you can see the vehicle you’ve passed in your mirrors before pulling back in front of it. When you pass or change lanes in front of a truck, leave extra room before pulling back in.

• Think ahead. If you’ll be taking a road

trip, check the road and weather conditions for your entire trip at drive-bc.ca before you head out. Even if the roads look clear, slow down to reduce your risk of crashing and be real-istic about travel times as our highways will be busier than usual.

Plan rest stops every couple of hours or switch drivers to avoid becoming fatigued while driving.

• Get your vehicle ready. Long trips can be hard on your vehicle so make sure it’s up to the drive. Check your engine oil, washer fluid and lights. Take a look at your tires too, includ-ing the spare, to make sure they are in good condition and properly inflated.

“Failing to yield, speed-ing, and unsafe lane changes are high-risk driving behaviours that put everyone at risk,” said Chief Officer Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traf-fic Safety Committee. “Drivers have to be responsible for their ac-tions, pay attention and focus on driving. Police will be out in full-force across the province this month looking for driv-ers who feel the rules don’t apply to them.”

“Drivers must remember they share the road – there are other road users to watch out for, like young children and cyclists who are especially vulnera-ble to drivers’ high risk behaviours,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “Left hand turns present enormous risks for crashes between vehicles, pedes-trians and cyclists because visibility and sight lines can be compromised in these situations.”

The Key To A Happy Summer:

Don’t Drink & Drive.

The Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has identified impaired driving as an organizational priority.

The RCMP is committed to Canadians and ensuring their safety by increasing our efforts to prevent drinking and driving.

New Technology, Impaired Driving Tests, Criminal Charges, Penal-ties, Suspensions and Prohibitions

Each year thousands of Canadians are injured or killed by impaired drivers. The RCMP asks you to drive safely and arrive

Five things you should know about Impaired Driving

alive.

The RCMP encourag-es people to choose not to drink and drive. Plan ahead and use a designated driver.

The RCMP asks you to report impaired drivers on the road by calling 911. Help pre-vent impaired driver related collisions.

It is important for people to realize that alcohol affects people in different ways.

Factors such as diet, fatigue, and pre-scriptions drugs can change how alcohol affects an individual. It is possible to be considered impaired even if you have a Blood Alcohol Con-tent below 0.08. Know your limits and if you are going to drink have a designated driver.

Driving after using drugs, even prescrip-

tion drugs, is just as dangerous as drinking and driving. Drug Recognition Experts can determine that

you’re under the in-fluence of a drug and you can be charged with drug-impaired driving.

Impaired driving* con-tinues to take a deadly toll on our roads.

In an average year: **

• 86 people die in motor vehicle crashes involving impaired driving.

• Impairment remains in the top three con-tributing factors for fatal car crashes.

• Approximately 27 per cent of motor vehicle fatalities are related to impaired driving.

Other impaired driving stats to keep in mind:

• Most impaired-re-lated crashes (59 per cent) occur on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

• Almost half (43

per cent) take place between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

• Sixteen-to-25-year-olds account for the highest number of impaired drivers in crashes (31 per cent).

• Males account for 71 per cent of all impaired drivers.

Make a smart choice. If you’re going to be drinking, make sure you have a sober des-ignated driver, money for transit or taxi, a place to stay over-night, or a friend you can call for a ride.

* Impaired is defined to include alcohol, illicit drugs, and med-icines.

** Police-reported five-year average from 2009 to 2013.

Facts about drugs and medications

Here’s why you should be extra careful if you‘re taking any med-ications or drugs when driving:

• Many prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs can leave you impaired under the Criminal Code.

• Drugs for cold, flu, allergies and nausea can cause your atten-tion to wander, slow your reaction time and make you drowsy.

• When mixed with

alcohol, these drugs can become deadly.

There are of course some instances where you need to take prescribed medica-tions (such as certain medical conditions like diabetes or epilepsy). Make sure you read the labels carefully and check with your doctor or pharmacist so you’re safe to drive while taking certain drugs.

CounterAttack: More than 35 years of safer roads in B.C.

In 1976 — the year before CounterAttack roadchecks started — there were more than 300 fatalities from im-

paired-related crashes in our province.

The good news is, im-paired driving fatali-ties are decreasing.

In 2013, 63 people were killed in im-paired-related crashes.

Despite the progress, these numbers are still unacceptable.

CounterAttack helps protect people from the trauma of impaired driving. Police enforce-ment occurs year-round, with increased roadchecks during July and again during the December holiday season.

Impaired driving trends in B.C.Studies show that “stoned” drivers can be as dangerous as drunk drivers. Depending on what you‘ve smoked, swallowed or injected, your impairment could range from slowed reflexes and flawed depth perception to hallucinations, psychosis and seizures. Police can test for drug-impairment and charge drivers who refuse to provide blood, saliva or urine samples when requested.

C ANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - An anal-

ysis of Steve Montador’s brain shows the late NHL player had chronic traumatic encephalopa-thy, or CTE.

Montador was a 35-year-old retired de-fenceman who sus-tained multiple concus-sions during his career.

His brain was donat-ed after his death in February to the Canadi-an Sports Concussion Project at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre’s for analysis.

Project head Dr. Charles Tator says the autopsy showed the widespread presence of CTE throughout Monta-

dor’s brain.Prior to his death, the

former NHLer had suf-fered from depression, erratic behaviour and problems with his mem-ory.

The brain of former Calgary Stampeder John Forzani was also donat-ed to the project after his death last October at age 67, but no signs of CTE were found, despite a history of multiple concussions.

“These results indi-cate that in some ath-letes multiple concus-sions lead to the devel-opment of CTE, but also that certain individuals may be more vulnerable than others to develop-

ing CTE as a result of concussions,” said Dr. Li-li-Naz Hazrati, neuropa-thologist in the Labora-tory Medicine Program at the University Health Network who conducted the autopsies.

“Adding these find-ings to the other results we’ve had to date re-flects the spectrum of our findings by showing that concussions can af-fect the brain in differ-ent ways.”

To date, the Sports Concussion Project has analyzed the brains of 16 athletes, with roughly half showing signs of CTE or the presence of another neurodegener-ative disease.

NEW YORK - The lawyer who investigated the New England Patri-ots insisted Tuesday that he found direct, not just circumstantial, evi-dence to show quarter-back Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating footballs.

Miffed by criticism from Brady’s agent, Ted Wells decided to take the unusual step of holding a conference call with re-porters, a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl MVP for the season’s first four games based on the report.

Wells said his find-ings would have been strong enough to con-vince a jury under the “preponderance of evi-dence” standard, which is used in many civil cases.

Wells released his re-port last Wednesday, as-serting it was “more probable than not” that Brady “was at least gen-erally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated mini-mum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

His voice frequently

rising Tuesday, Wells testily rebutted asser-tions from Don Yee, Brady’s agent, question-ing Wells’ indepen-dence because his firm does other business with the NFL.

“What drove the de-cision in this report is one thing: It was the evi-dence,” Wells said. “I could not ethically ig-nore the import and rel-evancy of those text messages and the other evidence.”

Wells specifically mentioned two series of text exchanges between officials’ locker room at-tendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski. In one, McNally referred to him-self as “the Deflator” and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jas-tremski mentioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls.

“That is not circum-stantial evidence,” Wells said. “That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place.”

On Thursday, Yee had called Wells’ report “a significant and terrible

disappointment,” sug-gesting that it “reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later.”

Along with denying any bias, Wells derided the idea that the NFL wanted the investiga-tion to implicate a quar-terback he described as “one of the most popu-lar, iconic players in the league.”

“That does not make sense,” Wells said. “It’s a ridiculous allegation.”

Wells has conducted several other high-pro-file sports investigations in recent years, includ-ing the NFL report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal. To Yee’s assertion that he omitted key statements from Brady, Wells chal-lenged the agent to re-lease his full transcript of the interview.

“Nothing, I guarantee you, in his notes would make any difference in my decision,” he said.

He also disputed Yee’s characterization of the investigation as a “sting,” noting that NFL officials initially didn’t take the Colts’ com-plaints seriously during January’s AFC Champi-onship game.

The Patriots wound

up routing Indianapolis 45-7 that day, then went on to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl 28-24 for Brady’s fourth title. In the quar-terback’s only public comments since the re-port’s release, he said that the scandal hasn’t taken away from the team’s accomplish-ments.

Brady plans to appeal his four-game suspen-sion. The Patriots were penalized $1 million - matching the largest fine in league history - and docked two draft picks. Owner Bob Kraft has de-clared his “uncondition-al support” for his two-time MVP quarterback.

Wells said the Patriots were co-operative, with two major exceptions: declining a request for a second interview with McNally, and Brady’s re-fusal to turn over phone records. Wells said he had told Brady and Yee he did not need to see his phone and would have accepted a list of communications.

Wells, who said he bills by the hour, wouldn’t estimate how much his investigation cost the NFL but said “no question it’s in the millions of dollars.”

It may be offseason for the Kimberley Dyna-miters, but there’s plen-ty going on behind the scenes for the 2015 Koo-tenay International Ju-nior Hockey League champions.

On Tuesday after-noon, Kimberley Dyna-miters president Chad Koran announced the team was shifting staff within its hockey opera-tions department ahead of the 2015-16 KIJHL season.

Assistant coach Mike Reid will take over as general manager - direc-tor of player personnel, with former general manager Dave Smith moving into the role of assistant general manag-er - hockey operations.

“We really value Dave’s input and his dedication to team,” Koran said Tuesday. “It’s incredible how much he’s offered the team.

“We’ve just taken the workload and divided it into two. It’s a pretty de-manding and time-con-suming job. We’re just trying to divide it be-tween the two guys and lighten the load for the both of them.

“We want the two of them to work hand in hand…We think this is going to be a good op-portunity for both of them.”

No other staffing changes to the Dyna-

miters hockey opera-tions department are expected prior to the 2015-16 KIJHL season.

Head coach Jerry Bancks will return, while Reid will remain as an assistant coach in addition to his new role as general manager. As-sistant coaches Jeff Keiver and Todd White will also be returning.

Smith’s lone season as general manager of the Kimberley Dynamit-ers was nothing short of a success.

Under Smith’s craft-ing, the Nitros finished the 2014-15 campaign second in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Divi-sion, before cruising to the league title, defeating the Creston Valley Thun-dercats, Fernie Ghostrid-ers, Beaver Valley Nite-hawks and Kamloops Storm along the way.

The Dynamiters then came within one game of the B.C. Junior ‘B’ provincial champion-ship, falling to the Campbell River Storm in the Cyclone Taylor Cup final by a 6-5 mar-gin. The Storm went on to win the Keystone Cup -- western Canada’s Ju-nior ‘B championship.

Smith’s biggest addi-tion came Nov. 29, 2014,

when he struck a deal with the Summerland Steam, swapping Tyson Klingspohn for Braden Saretsky.

The West Kelowna native went on to tally 19 goals and 54 points in 44 regular-season con-tests -- including 41 points in 25 games with the Nitros. The 5-foot-11 pivot then led his team in KIJHL playoff scoring with 18 goals and 29 points in 22 games.

Saretsky has since signed on with the Can-more Eagles of the Al-berta Junior Hockey League.

During his many years with the Dynamit-ers, Smith previously held the titles of presi-dent and vice-president.

The Dynamiters an-nual general meeting is slated for Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Kimberley.

Those interested in volunteering their time in some capacity are en-couraged to attend the Tuesday AGM.

Notes: KIJHL Gover-nors meetings took place in Castlegar in late April ... Notable changes expected to be finalized at the league AGM in June include a schedul-ing change that will see the league play a five-game championship se-ries ... The KIJHL is also expected to keep regular season “crossover” games featuring out-of-conference op-ponents ...

Rob HendeRsonBrandon Sun

KELOWNA, B.C. — Billed as a potential classic going in, the Ed Chynoweth Cup final is dangerously close to being a sweep.

The Kelowna Rock-ets are one victory away from the Western Hock-ey League champion-ship, methodically grinding out victories over the Brandon Wheat Kings in the first three games of the best-of-seven series, with bend-but-not-break defence and timely goals. After winning the first two games in Brandon, the Rockets didn’t let up once they returned home, skating to their second consecutive 5-3 victory over the Wheat Kings on Monday night. They’ll try to finish the job in Game 4 on Wednesday, and Wheat Kings head coach/gen-eral manager Kelly Mc-Crimmon is still waiting to see his team bring its best effort.

“We’re disappointed to be facing elimination in the fourth game of the series,” McCrimmon said. “If we could have won tonight it’s a brand-new series; it changes the complexion of it sig-nificantly. That didn’t happen, so we have to get ready to play on Wednesday. It’s our first time facing elimination this season. Our team has really shown many times we respond well (to adversity) and we’ll look to do that Wednes-day in Game 4.”

The Wheat Kings were the WHL’s top team in the regular sea-son with 114 points, two more than the Rockets, who led the overall standings until a late Brandon charge. Now matched head-to-head instead of being a con-ference apart, the Rock-ets have managed to withstand every charge made by the Wheat Kings so far.

On Monday, they

turned to three of their top forwards to get the job done. After being put together part way through Game 2, Rourke Chartier (two goals, one assist), Leon Draisaitl (one goal, two assists) and Nick Merkley (three assists) were together from the opening faceoff on Monday and com-bined for nine points. Their contributions were timely as well, with Drai-saitl opening the scoring with a short-handed goal — Kelowna’s second on back-to-back Brandon power plays going back to Game 2 — while Chartier potted the win-ner and a key insurance goal with Brandon push-ing in the third.

“There’s been way too many momentum swings for us,” said Nolan Patrick, who scored one of the Wheat Kings’ two goals after they were down by three that helped them cut the Rockets’ lead to 4-3. “We played good in the third period there, we made it a game, but we give up that goal at the end there and the momen-tum swings back the other way.”

After Draisaitl’s open-ing goal, on a four-min-ute Brandon power play, Morgan Klimchuk re-sponded for the Wheat Kings on the second half of the double minor.

Less than a minute after Klimchuk’s goal, Gage Quinney was the beneficiary of a nifty Chartier setup, scoring to put the Rockets back in front. Quinney paid it forward in the second, feeding rookie Dillon Dube, who made it 3-1, before Chartier netted the eventual winner on a redirection.

Patrick’s goal in the second and Tim Mc-Gauley’s marker in the third, shortly after the Wheat Kings killed a lengthy five-on-three Rocket power play, put Kelowna under some pressure until Chartier scored off the rush to

give his team some breathing room.

Klimchuk said the Wheat Kings needed to push harder earlier in the game.

“That’s kind of been the story for a while now,” he said. “The third periods have been our best periods. You want to have good starts to the game. I think we did in Games 1 and 2, but it’s tough coming into a building like this and having a start like that, because they can feed off the crowd. … It’s a testament to the boys we’re ready to battle back when we need to, but at the same time we want to be playing at that level for the whole 60 minutes if we want to win the series.”

Despite his team’s comfortable lead in the series, Rockets head coach Dan Lambert re-mains wary of the threat the Wheat Kings present.

“They were the high-est scoring team in the league for a reason,” he said. “They’re resilient, they never give up, they have a tremendous amount of skill and de-termination and it cer-tainly shows when they’ve been down in the series. Twice they were able to come back and even things up and tonight they got awfully close to doing that again.”

The Rockets got 26 saves from Jackson Whistle, while Wheat Kings goalie Jordan Pa-pirny stopped 27 shots.

ONE-TIMERS: Bran-don was 1-for-3 on the power play, while Kelowna was 0-for-5 … The Rockets are on a six-game winning streak … The Wheat Kings scratched C/RW Reid Duke, LW Quintin Liso-way, D/LW Mark Matsu-ba, D Kale Clague and D Mark Taraschuk … The Rockets scratched LW Tyrell Goulbourne, LW Tanner Wishnowski, RW Tate Coughlin and D Mitchell Wheaton.

Mayweather-Pacquiao fight sets PPV recordTim daHlbeRgAssociated Press

LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao proved a box of-fice smash, even if their welterweight title fight didn’t live up to the hype.

The May 2 fight obliterated the pay-per-view record, with 4.4 million buys generating more than $400 million in revenue. With a live gate of nearly $72

million and other revenue, the bout grossed more than $600 million and likely made Mayweather more than $200 million.

Showtime and HBO officials report-ed the whopping PPV figures Tuesday, saying the fight broke the previous re-cord of 2.48 million buys generated by Mayweather’s 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya by nearly 2 million buys.

Dear Annie: Last week, my husband and I were able to secure tickets to a movie that had been sold out for sever-al weeks. We looked forward to a nice evening until the lady with the popcorn and icy drink sat next to me. As soon as the movie started, she began to chomp and crunch on the popcorn, rattle the paper bag and jiggle the soda, over and over. I tried moving away as much as possible, but it didn’t help. Because the theater was so dark, I couldn’t tell whether there were other seats avail-able. I was stuck. Very quietly, I asked her whether she was going to be finished eating soon, because the racket was very annoying. She said she likes to eat popcorn at the movies. Afterward, my husband told me I was rude and that eating during a movie should be allowed. I didn’t expect to be “right,” but am I wrong to expect courtesy from those around me? Why can’t people enjoy their treats without disturbing every-one else? What do you say, Annie? -- Chomping in Florida Dear Chomping: It is customary for people to eat popcorn and other snacks during a movie. But it is also incumbent on those in attendance not to be an an-noyance to the people around them. Crunchy stuff should be chewed qui-etly. No one needs to swish ice around in the cup. Your best bet would have been to find an usher and ask for help locating another seat, but these days, ushers are hard to come by. You also could have complained to the manager after the movie, which would not have changed the annoyance, but may have garnered you a comped ticket. We know there are folks who believe they are entitled to behave however they wish, giving no thought to anyone else. Those are the same people who would be the first to complain were they on the receiving end of such rude-ness. In public places, one has an obli-gation to be considerate. It is selfish to do otherwise. Dear Annie: I am writing about “M.W.,” the retired teacher who didn’t want to go to Florida. I do not believe there was a writing campaign from The Villages. We don’t need to organize. We Villagers are 102,000 strong and still growing. When my husband retired 22 years ago, he wanted to move to Florida, and that was the last place I wanted to be. It was hot, unfamiliar and far from fam-ily. I had no interest in fishing, golf or crafts. I was ready to leave my husband there and see him only in the winter. Well, we finally happened upon The Villages and fell in love. There are all price ranges available, and my addict-ed golfing friends tell me the golfing is amazing. But there is something for ev-eryone: more clubs than you can imag-ine, a wonderful philharmonic orches-tra, choral groups and other musical venues, as well as numerous opportu-nities for volunteering. I am a guardian ad litem working with teens in group homes, and I love it. I found the calling I didn’t know I had. We thrive on helping others here. The Villages is a wonder-land for adults. -- A Happy Villager Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

June 24, 1923 - May 13, 2000Alfred Charles Allen

Barbara Dawn Hascarl (nee Anderson)

Barbara Dawn Hascarl nee Anderson, born May 2, 1937 in Vancouver, BC suddenly passed away on the 2nd of May, the day of her 78th birthday, after complications following a successful hip replacement.Dawn had been living with her husband of 61 years, Louis Hascarl, at the Seal Bay RV Park in Courtenay BC. Predeceased by her parents

and three brothers, she is survived by her husband and five children; Lucille Smith, Daryl Hascarl, Beverley Carleton, Naomi Maisonneuve and Melanie Kurucz, as well as one brother and three sisters.Family and friends of Dawn were no strangers to her love of gardening, crafts and playing cards. She used her time knitting articles for all those close to her, beating them in a game of cribbage and tending her flower beds and gardens. Working as an employee with Canada Post for her entire career, she retired from the post office in the small town of Canal Flats, BC before moving to the coast.Dawn and her husband cherished the drives they spent exploring Vancouver Island, a place they began to call home after moving from Canal Flats, ten years ago.Last July she celebrated her 60th anniversary with Lou, where she spent a wonderful weekend surrounded by her family and friends, and playing with her nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Obituaries Obituaries

Harold G Eaton August 26 1941 –

May 11 2015 It is with deep sadness that the family of Harold Eaton announces his passing on Monday, May 11, 2015.

Harold was predeceased by his father Jack Eaton, mother Agnes Robinson, and brother Raymond Eaton.

On September 2, 1967, Harold married the love of his life and best friend Peggy. His memory will continue to live on through her love for him.

Harold will be greatly missed by his wife Peggy and his children Jody, Jonathon, and Clinton. He is survived by his brothers Lynn, Jack and Doug; and his sisters Doreen, Alexis, and Shirley. He is survived also by his grandchildren and numerous loving family members and friends.

Harold will be remembered for his love for his family, passion for his land and the cattle he raised on it, and his dedicated work ethic. He leaves his legacy through his family, his farm, and forty years of business at Cranbrook Flooring.

The Eaton Family welcomes you to join them for a celebration of his life on Saturday, May 16, 2015. The service will be at St. Mary’s Parish at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the local 4H Club.
