Motorists advised to note crosswalk change

CAROLYN GRANT PHOTO

Students can now cross directly onto the bikepath on 309 Ave.

Marysville crosswalk moved

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Motorists are asked to be mindful of a slight change to a crosswalk location in Marysville.

As of last Thursday morning the cross walk across Highway 95A at Marysville School has been moved to the arena side of the road.

This, says Wayne Pelter, Dis-trict Principal for Health & Safety for the Rocky Mountain School District, makes a lot of sense as students can now cross directly onto the designated bike path that leads to the Rails to Trails.

Not only that, but by moving a little further south on the high-way, the crossing guard will be more visible.

This will mean a bit of a change for parents parking at the school to pick up and drop off students. Parents are asked to park across

the street and not along the school fence as that is now the student’s walking route.

Motorists are asked to be cau-tious because although the sig-nage has been moved, the new crosswalk markings on the high-way have yet to be painted.

Police have been asked to pay a little more attention to the area as motorists adapt to the change and the City’s bylaw officer will be enforcing the new no parking area.

Take a walk along the Dynamiters Walk of FameA lot has been done over the past two years

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

A couple of years ago several longtime Kim-berley Dynamiter fans got together to begin planning a way to com-memorate the team that has meant so much to Kimberley’s history.

The plan was to gath-er as much Dynamiter memorabilia as possible — from old jerseys to equipment to photos — and display it at the Civic Centre.

Today, a lot of volun-teer hours, some detec-tive work to track down items and some timely donations later, there are eight cabinets on display at the Civic Cen-tre, documenting the history of the famous

franchise through its se-nior years, 1925 to 1988.

This past winter spe-cial evenings were held at Dynamiter games to honour past stars such as Grizzly Jones, Frank Sullivan, Harry Brown, Cowboy McTeer, Dick Vincent and more.

While the displays are looking very good, more memorabilia is al-ways welcome. If you happen to stumbled across any old Dynamit-er-related items in an attic or basement, give Aurel Beaudin a call at 250-427-2980.

The Society wishes to acknowledge the finan-cial assistance of the Co-lumbia Basin Trust and Teck. Teck, formerly Cominco, was a big part of Dynamiter history as 90 per cent of Dynamit-er players worked at the Sullivan Mine. There have also been numer-ous local donations.

City officials are warning of a mosquito outbreak this summer as large numbers of lar-vae have been spotted around Cranbrook.

“Significant numbers of mosquito larvae have been found over the past week in the Alkali Lake area of the Com-munity Forest and in several other historical mosquito development sites around the City,” the city said in a state-ment released Friday, May 23.

“Another large area that is a significant breeding ground for mosquitos, especially this year with the cur-rent flooding, is Eliza-beth Lake and the mos-quito control contractor

is monitoring the site closely.”

Each year, Cranbrook hires Morrow BioSci-ence to monitor and control the city’s bur-geoning mosquito pop-ulation.

Site monitoring by the mosquito control contractor is conducted on a continuous basis throughout the late spring and summer to determine the species, number and level of maturity of mosquito larvae present during this period.

Spots where mosqui-toes are developing are treated with Aquabac, a larvicide that contains the naturally occurring bacteria Bti, which tar-gets mosquito larvae but doesn’t harm birds, mammals, beneficial in-

ty owners to be diligent about removing sites where mosquitoes could develop.

Residents are again reminded and strongly encouraged to stop mosquitoes before they start, by removing all sources of standing water from around your home. Some places to eliminate standing water include:

• Clogged gutters, • Trays under flower

pots, • Outside pets’ dish-

es, • Children’s pools

and toys, • Bird baths and

feeders, • Canoes / boats, • Tires If you see a potential

mosquito development site, you can call the mosquito hotline at 250-421-1294.

Season bodes to be busy for buzzing bloodsuckersIt could be a bad year for mosquitoes in Cranbrook

sects or amphibians.Mosquitoes go

through four distinct stages of development during their life: egg, larvae, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid on the sur-face of standing water or on soil that is prone to flooding. When in con-tact with water during the spring and summer, the eggs hatch as larvae, which feed on plant ma-terial and quickly devel-op into pupae. The pupae then mature into adult mosquitoes, which emerge from the surface of the water. Fol-lowing mating, adult fe-males search for a blood meal to complete egg development.

But the mosquito control contractor can’t access private land, so the city is asking proper-

Bert Fergus was in-ducted into Badminton Canada’s Hall of Fame in the Builder category on Saturday, May 3, 2014. The induction cer-emony took place at the Clear One Badminton Centre in Richmond, BC.

“For a long time, Bert was the ‘Godfather’ of organized badminton. Wherever he went and whatever he touched he always conscripted oth-ers to volunteer and fol-low in his footsteps,” said Peter Goldring, President of Badminton Canada.

“He is a key reason that British Columbia has had a strong repre-sentation at all levels of Badminton Canada for such a long time. The true strength of a build-er is the character of the people he leaves behind as he moves through. He was a fierce compet-itor for sure, however, he

was always a mentor and strong advocate of doing it right and giving back to the sport.”

A native of Kimber-ley, Fergus first won a national championship in 1955, pairing with Daryl Thompson to win the men’s doubles title and was on Canada’s Thomas Cup team from 1958 to 1964. At the Masters level he won 15 national gold medals from 1974-1998, and compete at the World Masters Games as re-cently as 1994.

A retired school prin-cipal, Fergus has spent nearly 50 years building the sport. He served on the Badminton BC Board of Directors in multiple roles, includ-ing two separate terms as President, and was on the Badminton Canada Board of Directors for eight years.

Internationally, he was Canada’s Team Leader at the 1992 Sum-

mer Olympics in Barce-lona (badminton’s first appearance at the Olympic Games), was the Sport Chair for Bad-minton at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria and the Chair of the 2004 World Junior Badminton Champion-ships in Richmond. In addition, he headed the Canadian delegation at nine different world championships and other major internation-al events.

Fergus was named a life member of Badmin-ton BC in 1986, the same year he became an hon-orary life member of the Vancouver Racquets Club. He won the Inter-national Badminton Federation (now the Badminton World Fed-eration) Meritorious Service Award in 2004 and the 2004-05 Bad-minton Canada Volun-teer of the Year Award.

Conservation officers have confirmed that the mother of the two or-phaned bear cubs had been shot, likely by a hunter, by mistake, and left unreported. The two cubs were left to fend for themselves.

Ray Gilewicz, a con-servation officer out of Cranbrook, said the sow had been shot a couple of days prior to the cubs being encountered by the hikers. He said it looked as though the sow was shot and left for no particular reason. There is a hunting sea-son for black bears right now, but an accidental shooting should have been reported.

“It is illegal to shoot a black bear or Grizzly bear that is less than two years of age or any bear in its accompaniment,” Gilewicz explained. “So basically it is prohibited to hunt sows and cubs.”

He said what possibly happened was someone may have shot the bear without seeing the cubs

or realizing it was a sow.“This person does

have the responsibility to report that to us as an accidental killing of wildlife, perhaps not knowing it was a sow with cubs,” he said. “The cubs did end up going to the Northern Lights

Wildlife shelter, but my understanding is they had likely been out there for a couple days before they’d been found.”

The bear cubs were dehydrated and starving when they were finally found and captured by Cranbrook residents

working on behalf of the wildlife shelter.

The young male and female cubs are now at the Northern Lights Wildlife Society shelter in Smithers, B.C.

Spring concert series winds up with the blues

For the Bulletin

Kimberley Arts Council’s spring con-cert series will finish with a flourish on Sat-urday, May 31, when celebrated boo-gie-woogie blues mas-ter Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne returns from a couple of gigs in France to play Kim-berley. The ‘Blues Boss’ on grand piano, keyboard and vocals will be backed by bass and drums as he per-forms his trademark New Orleans-style rhythm & blues, funk and boogie-woogie in a cabaret-style concert in the dance studio at Centre 64.

Wayne’s list of awards is impressive, including a 2006 Juno for his album “Let It Loose”, a 2012 Living Blues award for “An Old Rock on a Roll”, several Maple Blues awards, and Remi and Blues Media awards. His latest album, “Rol-lin’ with the Blues Boss”, should be avail-able for sale at the May 31 concert at Centre 64.

Kenny Wayne was born in Spokane and raised in New Orleans and now resides in Kelowna by way of Vancouver. Playing his

first concerts while still a teenager, he un-ashamedly admits his style is still influenced by some of the great jazz and blues pianists of those early years, men like Fats Domino, Amos Milburn, and Bill Dogget. It was when he first toured Europe in 1994 that Wayne first adopted the nickname ‘Blues Boss’, taken from the title of Amos Milburn’s come-back album. Europe loved him and treated him like a star and he has returned there many times since. Following his Kimberley gig the ‘Blues Boss’ will re-turn to France for a June tour, moving on to Italy and Spain in July. Between tours he will play a number of widely spread festi-vals, including Leognan, France, Longview Texas, San Fransisco, Perpignan, France, and the Cal-gary Blues fest.

“What a great way to finish off another highly successful and enjoyable concert sea-son,” says arts council president, Mike Red-fern. “This should be a real party. The show starts at 8 p.m. but the bar will be open at 7.30 p.m. so come early and relax with a glass of wine before the fun starts. We’re really lucky to get a star of his internation-

CeNotaPh PLaN to Be PReSSed

Kimberley will have a cenotaph this year. This was the decision of a small but enthusiastic meeting held on Tues-day evening in the City Hall. Called by the local branch of the Canadian Legion, the meeting had to decide questions of site, financing and up-keep.

Various sites have been suggested. The Le-gion and Post Office areas were discarded by the meeting as being too small and too busy. Most suitable seemed to be the piece of land be-tween the road to the Townsite and the old downhill road just across from the arena entrance, only objection being the flow of traffic which would prevent large gatherings.

Mayor Cliff Swan told the meeting of the city’s plans to relocate the lower end of the Town-site road so that it would circle the ball park, cross

the C.M. & S. Haulage Way on an overpass and follow the present dirt road to rejoin Townsite road at the corner.

This would eliminate the hairpin corner and leave a large area of land open for future Civic Centre projects. Reloca-tion will probably be done next year, the Mayor stated.

The corner site could become a “real beauty spot”, with trees to form a background and ter-raced gardens extend-ing along the slope be-hind the grey memorial. This site was then de-cided on.

Photostatic copies of an artist’s rendering of the proposed memorial will be available shortly. Using granite from Sirdar, it will consist of a shaft placed on a mas-sive base and bearing the names of veterans of both World Wars on a black granite tablet set into the shaft.

C.J. Wilson, of the Sirdar Granite Works, was present and gave much useful informa-tion to the meeting. He told them that being a veteran himself he was very anxious that Kim-

berley erect a memorial and that the plaque bearing the names would be his gift.

Approximate cost of the memorial would be $1,650. However, the meeting felt their objec-tive should be $2,500 to assist in landscaping the area. Various methods of financing were dis-cussed. There will be no house to house canvass but the public will be given an opportunity to contribute. In addition, various organizations have offered to hold fund raising projects. A Community Chest grant will be sought next year.

Situated in a City Park area, upkeep of the site will come under Parks Board financing. Over the years, the City and Parks Board con-template extensive de-velopment in this area and it will be an ideal situation for the Ceno-taph.

It is hoped to start levelling of the ground shortly and another meeting will be called in a month to report prog-ress and consider fi-nancing.

The Way it Was

From Page 3Angelika Langen,

manager at the shelter, said the bear cubs are on the road to recovery after a long journey by car on Monday, May 19.

“They are starting to gain weight and they are looking better phys-ically,” Langen said. “They are not as weak. They can sit up a little bit and it looks like they are recuperating.”

Langen said the cubs are still extremely frightened though, as they have been trauma-tized by the whole ex-perience quite severe-ly.

“So mentally they are still going to need some time for healing, but being that there are two of them, that will really help them to rely on each other and get over that fear of being alone, and losing their mom,” she said. “They are definitely not out of the woods yet, but we are cautiously optimis-

tic that they are going to be fine.”

She said they have had several bear cubs like this before and a young cub in a similar situation came in earli-er this year.

“We have one here already who is going to be tickled pink once he can get together with these guys,” she said. “He is quite lonely by himself, so in a couple weeks when the other ones have recuperated enough that they can play, we’re going to in-troduce them to each other and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

She said the cubs will stay at the shelter until next year, when they are about a year old, and would natural-ly disperse from their mother. At that time they will be reintro-duced to the East Koo-tenay region with the help of the conserva-tion officers and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-

source Operations.Two years ago the

shelter society started a program to raise money for radio collars on the released bears in order to get information on how the bears fair once they are released.

Back in Cranbrook, the conservation offi-cers are looking for any information on who may have shot the sow.

“As a hunter, we rec-ognize that accidents can occur from time to time,” Gilewisc said. “He does have a re-sponsibility, under the Wildlife Act, to report what we consider to be an accidental shoot-ing.”

If he had reported the accidental killing, the hunter could still be charged or warned de-pending on the circum-stances. The charge for accidental shooting is less severe than the charge for failing to re-port an accidental shooting if the hunter is charged.

Those convicted under the Wildlife Act could receive fines up to $25,000 and/or six months imprisonment for the majority of of-

fences.

“We do have an open enforcement file on it, and we’d appreci-ate any assistance from the public who may

have seen somebody in the general area of the Bull River Dam, some-time around May 16,” he said. The Report All Poachers and Polluters is a toll-free anony-

mous tip line at 1-877-952-7277. There is also a form to report inci-dents online at www.e n v. g o v. b c . c a / c o s /rapp/rapp.html.

Orphaned cubs will be released next year

MONDAY, MAY 26, 2014

I have spent my life in the political wil-derness. Literally. I lived in Northwestern Ontario (with a short time out for univer-sity in the south) until a move to the East Kootenay and Kimberley. These two re-gions have much in common. There is a wealth of beautiful landscape in both, though I will argue the mountains and clear blue skies of the East Kootenay are superi-or to the blue lakes, rocky shores and bugs — yikes! — of northern Ontario. They also have smaller populations, and most importantly in the politi-cal sense, a great distance from the seat of power.

In Ontario, it’s Toronto. Though we are genetically imprinted with a dislike for the big TO in our very being, that’s where the power is. That’s where the movers and shakers are. Torontonians, who spend much of their time gazing into their own navels and contemplating their rating on the scale of “important cities”, are con-stantly striving to convince the rest of us of their greatness. Toronto doesn’t want to support a lowly CFL team, they dream of the big time — the NFL. They have an NBA team and I honestly thought the To-ronto-centric TSN sportscasters were going expire from sheer delight when the

Raptors made a tiny run the spring. The Leafs ... well, the less said the better about the Leafs.

My point is the further you are from the centre of the universe, the more likely you are to be thought somewhat less in-telligent, a rube from the bush. You know nothing, you have nothing to add to the

conversation. Although at the time of my northern On-tario residency, I would say I knew enough not to live in Toronto.

And now I reside in the East Kootenay. It is a little closer to Vancouver/Victoria in driving time, but still very

distant. The Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island are where the popula-tion is, and where the powerful elite gather to make decisions. Decisions that greatly affect those of us in the hinterland.

Sidebar: I will accept the term hinter-land. I will not accept the term heartland, coined during the Gordon Campbell years. Heartland implies an area populat-ed by people idiotic enough to be flat-tered by such a condescending term. There is a certain paternalistic flavour to heartland. “Don’t you worry, Heartland-er. We know what we’re doing with the ALR. Don’t you worry your little rural head about it. Now, run along. Don’t you

have a barn to raise or some creature to shoot?”

My point in all this rambling is this. We are not innocent, naïve rubes from the bush. We can discuss world politics and foreign affairs. We are as concerned about the environment as city-dwellers, per-haps more so as we live more intimately with it. We have no problem explaining our feelings or worries about legislation which affects us.

What we have is a problem being heard. We don’t have the numbers to make much of a fuss. And we are dis-missed. Time after time. Remember years ago when the government closed Kimber-ley’s hospital without so much as a con-sultation? We were outraged. We rallied. A petition with more than 4,000 signa-tures was presented — which had to be almost every person of voting age in the city and immediate surroundings. Surely they will listen, we said.

They didn’t. We were dismissed.Dismissed again on Jumbo. Dismissed

on the ALR. You can kick and scream all you want

but you are just a mouse trying desperate-ly to gain the attention of a gorilla. You just can’t yell loud enough.

OpiniOn/EvEntsLetters to the editor

Meat draw/LotteriesI very seldom write letters to the Editor.

However I am angry.I am part of a group of people who get

together one day a week to enjoy each oth-er’s company. As a group we also raise money for those in need. We made sure that we had a license from the Lottery peo-ple so as to avoid any problems. No one sponsored us. This was money that we as a group put in. We held a small meat draw where we bought the meat and then bought the tickets to maybe win, but main-ly to raise money for those in need.

We did not give away huge amounts of money. It was enough to help people get over some rough patches in their lives and to let them know that people care. Appar-ently this is a bad thing because the lottery people are not totally in control. They felt the need to tell us that we cannot donate to charities of our choice like the Selkirk Breakfast Club or the Pines Memorial So-ciety or to families who have lost every-thing due to fire or cancer victims to help with travel expenses and or other needs. How terrible of us to care.

Yesterday we all got together. There was anger and disbelief and, yes, a little sad-ness. We did not do anything wrong! We just wanted to do some good. We have all volunteered for worthy causes in the past. This was our way for filling in the gaps. There seems to be no flexibility with lotter-ies. I understand the need for guidelines and regulations, but, to dictate to our choices with such a heavy hand — really, people, give your heads a shake. We are not talking tens of thousands of dollars here. We are talking about a group that just want to make their corner of the world a little better.

Lotteries have made it very difficult for us to carry on. They seem to want their finger in every pie. They took our money when we applied for our license and when

we renewed it. Now all they do is dictate to us. They may look at the big picture, but what about the smaller needs? These needs may be small to lotteries but they are important to us.

I am proud of being part of a group of people that care. As for the Lotteries Corp., well, I don’t believe you can print what I feel about them.

Myths about job action

I’ve been noticing how government and BCPSEA spokespeople are repeating a few phrases that vilify B.C. teachers and our current job action. As a teacher and par-ent, I am frustrated by this misrepresenta-tion of one the province’s most dedicated groups of public employees.

Phrase I: “Teachers are confrontation-al.” As a teacher, I strive to maintain posi-tive, collaborative relationships with my students, colleagues, and parents. While I deeply value collaboration, this does not override my fundamental belief in advo-cating for basic rights. Twelve years ago, the government illegally overthrew collec-tively bargained learning conditions that had allowed teachers to effectively meet students’ varied needs. These learning conditions included limits on class size and composition, as well as guaranteed levels of support from counselors, student services teachers and librarians. I would love to collaborate positively with the gov-ernment in finding ways to reinstate these learning conditions, but the government has not been willing to do so. Our chil-dren’s right to effective learning conditions is an issue that I am proud to fight for.

Phrase II: “Job action is hurting BC stu-dents and parents.” While I am aware of

the negative implications of job action, I have witnessed the more severe and long lasting impacts of the government’s educa-tional policies. My son was in grade one when the government removed clauses in the teachers’ contract guaranteeing effec-tive learning conditions. I saw his and his classmates’ learning suffer for 12 years, despite their teachers’ efforts to overcome these cuts in support. I am frustrated to see students impacted by job action through loss of track meets and some field trips, and I sympathize with parents who may struggle to find day care if we begin a rotat-ing strike. But I know as a parent myself that in the long term, if this struggle results in improvements for children’s learning condition, it will have been worth these short-term impacts.

Phrase III: “Teachers’ demands are un-affordable in these tough economic times.” While our provincial government takes pride in having among the lowest corpo-rate taxes in the country, I doubt the Liber-als boast about having the nation’s highest child poverty rate and its highest degree of income inequality. If the government does indeed want to “put families first,” as Prime Minister Clark so frequently states, the Liberals need to prioritize investment in essential public services, including educa-tion. A province as well off as BC is surely able to adopt the budgeting strategies of the other Canadian provinces, which have allowed them to provide an average of $1.000 more in educational funding per student than in B.C.

At first glance, these three phrases may convince some parents that BC teachers are a nasty group of people. But if you dig deeper and go past this rhetoric, you will see that we truly care about your children and are dedicated to creating a quality public education system for the future.

Soon after winning an absolute major-ity in the Indian parliamentary elec-tions, prime minister-elect Narendra

Modi promised “to make the 21st century India’s century.” If he can avoid tripping over his own ideology, he might just succeed.

“India’s century” is a mis-leading phrase, of course, be-cause no country gets to own a whole century. It wasn’t ever really going to be “China’s century” either, although China is a huge country whose economy has grown amazingly fast over the past three decades. What Modi meant was that India, the other huge Asian coun-try, may soon take China’s place as the fastest growing large economy – and it might even surpass China economically, in the end.

At first glance this seems unlikely. In-dia’s GDP is currently less than a quarter of China’s although the two countries are quite close in population (China 1.36 bil-lion, India 1.29 billion). Moreover, the Chi-nese economy’s growth rate last year, al-though well down from its peak years, was still 7.7 percent, while India’s grew at only 4.4 percent.

But China’s growth rate is bound to fall further for purely demographic reasons. Due partly to three decades of the one-child-per-family policy, the size of its work-force is already starting to decline. Total population (and hence total domestic de-mand) will also start to shrink in five years’

time. And this doesn’t even take into ac-count the high probability of a financial crash and a long, deep recession in China.

India’s growth rate has also fallen in re-cent years, but for reasons like corruption,

excessive regulation and inadequate infrastruc-ture that are a lot easier to fix. And the reason that Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won by a landslide was precisely that voters thought he would be bet-

ter at overcoming these obstacles to growth than the worn-out and deeply corrupt Con-gress Party.

Modi did NOT win because a majority of Indians want to pursue divisive sectarian battles that pit Hindus against India’s many minorities, and especially against Muslims. That has always been part of the BJP’s ap-peal to its core voters, but its new voters were attracted by Modi’s reputation as the man who brought rapid development to the state of Gujarat, which he has ruled for the past thirteen years. They want him to do the same thing nationally.

The BJP’s absolute majority in parlia-ment means that Modi will not be con-strained by coalition allies like previous BJP governments. This could lead to a leap in the Indian growth rate if he uses his power to sweep aside the regulations and bureau-cratic roadblocks that hamper trade and investment in India. He also has a golden opportunity to crush the corruption that

imposes a huge invisible tax on every en-terprise in the country.Unfortunately, his extraordinary political freedom also means that he will find it hard to resist the kind of sectarian (i.e. anti-Muslim) measures that the militants in his own party expect. He cannot use the need to keep his coalition allies happy as an excuse for not going down that road. Nobody knows which way he’ll jump, but it might be the right way.

What might that mean over the next decade? It could mean a politically stable India whose growth rate is back up around 7 or 8 percent – and a China destabilised by a severe recession and political protests whose growth rate is down around 4 per-cent.

While neither political stability in India nor political chaos in China are guaranteed in the longer run, by 2025 the demography will have taken over with a vengeance. China’s population will be in decline, and the number of young people entering the workforce annually will be down by 20 per-cent and still falling. India’s population will still be growing, as will the number of young people coming onto the job market each year.

That will give India a 3 or 4 percent ad-vantage in economic growth regardless of what happens on the political front. In the long run both countries may come to see their massive populations as a problem, but in the medium term it looks increas-ingly likely that India will catch up with and even overtake China in economic power.

India and China: The tortoise and the hare?

Reinhart wins CHL sportsmanship awardKootenay Ice captain named Most Sportsmanlike Player of the Year

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart has added more hard-ware to his ever-expanding tro-phy case this past weekend, earning CHL Most Sportsman-like Player of the Year honours.

A top prospect for the up-coming 2014 NHL Draft, Rein-hart was also the WHL’s nomi-nee for CHL Player of the Year, but lost out to the QMJHL’s An-thony Mantha.

Reinhart collected all of 11 minutes in penalties in 60 games, and tallied 36 goals and 69 assists for 105 points this past season.

He represented Canada at the world junior championship and also participated in the CHL Top Prospects game. He ended the season ranked third overall North American skater on the Central Scouting lists.

He recently headed to Eu-rope to take part in training camp with Team Canada for the men’s world champion-ship, hosted by Belarus. Other CHL award winners include:

Jack Link’s Top Prospect of the Year

Sam BennettBennett crept up to claim

the first overall spot in the Cen-tral Scouting Rankings in the final list near the end of the regular season. Bennett, who plays for the Kingston Fronte-nacs of the OHL, tallied 36

goals and 55 assists in 27 games this year. Reinhart was a runner up for the award, along with the QMJHL’s Nikolaj Ehlers.

Chrysler Dodge Top ScorerConnor Brown

Brown led the CHL scoring race, finishing with 128 points—45 goals and 83 assists in 68 games with the Erie Ot-ters, which helped establish a franchise-best season with 52 wins and 106 points. Brown is a sixth round selection by the To-ronto Maple Leafs in 2012. Fi-nalists included Anthony Man-tha of Val-d’Or (QMJHL) and Mitch Holmberg of the Spo-kane Chiefs (WHL).

Subway Scholastic Player of the Year

Connor McDavidNot only is McDavid a high-

ly touted prospect for the 2015 NHL draft, but he’s also one of the smartest. McDavid carried an 87 per cent average in his final semester of Grade 11 and was an integral part to the on-ice success of the Otters this season. McDavid tallied 99 points in 56 games for the Ot-ters and represented Canada at the World Junior Champion-ship. Finalists included Jeremy Gregoire of Baie-Comeau Drakkar (QMJHL) and Nelson Nogier of the Saskatoon Blades (WHL).

Cooper Tires Humanitarian of the Year

Sam FiorettiFioretti, an overage player

with the Moose Jaw Warriors, was a key factor with the War-riors’ partnership with the Moose Jaw Police Service to visit schools on anti-bullying campaigns. Fioretti is also pas-sionate about educating local students the importance of physical activity and was a big part of the club’s Read To Suc-ceed program. Other finalists included Charles-David Beau-doin of the Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL) and Scott Simmonds of the Belleville Bulls (OHL).

Old Dutch Brian Kilrea Coach of the Year

Eric Veilleux

Veilleux coached Baie-Co-

meau Drakkar to the top spot in the QMJHL standings in his sophomore season behind the bench, with a record of 47-16-2-3. Finalists included D.J. Smith of the Oshawa Generals (OHL) and Dave Lowry of the Victoria Royals (WHL).

BMO Rookie of the YearNikolaj Ehlers

Ehlers tallied 104 points this season, including 49 goals, for his rookie year with the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL. A product of the CHL Import Draft who hails from Denmark, Ehlers is the top rated QMJHL prospect for the 2014 NHL draft. Finalists included Travis Konecny of the Ottawa 67’s (OHL) and Nick Merkley of the Kelowna Rockets (WHL).

Vaughn Goaltender of the Year

Jordan CookeCooke finished his WHL ca-

reer with the Kelowna Rockets with a 2.28 goals against aver-age and a save percentage of 0.922—good for fourth place in the WHL in both categories. He had four shutouts in 51 games, and earned a record of 39-7-0-4 when he was between the pipes. Finalists include Zacha-ry Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL) and

Alex Nedeljkovic of the Plym-outh Whalers (OHL).

Arctic Spas Defenceman of the Year

Derrick PouliotPouliot had a banner year in

likely his final year in the ma-jor-junior hockey, scoring 17 goals and tallying 53 helpers for 70 points with the Portland Winterhawks. Pouliot was a first-round selection from the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2012 and represented Canada at the World Junior Championship this year. Finalists included Guillaume Gelinas of Val-d’Or Foreurs (QMJHL) and Aaron Ekblad of the Barrie Colts (OHL).

Sportsnet Player of the YearAnthony Mantha

Mantha had a monster sea-son, averaging a goal per game with 57, and adding 36 assists for 120 points in 57 games played for the Val-d’Or Foreurs. Mantha, a first-round selection by the Detroit Red Wings in 2013, was a key member of Team Canada at the World Ju-nior Championship this year. Mantha beat out Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice (WHL) and Connor Brown of the Erie Ot-ters (OHL) for the award.

Russia wins world hockey championshipASSOCIATED PRESS

MINSK, Belarus - Star for-wards Alex Ovechkin and Evge-ni Malkin scored eight minutes apart to lead Russia to a 5-2 victory over Finland in the final of the ice hockey world cham-pionship on Sunday for its sec-ond title in three years.

With Russian President

Vladimir Putin looking on, Ovechkin tied the game at 2-2 in the second period with a backhand and Malkin wristed a shot high into the roof of the net on a power play for the go-ahead goal. Danis Zaripov also scored a goal and added two assists.

Viktor Tikhonov and Sergei

Shirokov scored a goal each.Putin watched the game sit-

ting next to Belarus’ authoritar-ian President Alexander Lu-kashenko in the stands, as the Russian team gained a measure of redemption following a pain-ful loss to Finland in the quar-terfinals of the Sochi Olympics just three months ago.

Thunder beat Spurs 106-97 to cut down

series deficitCLIFF BRUNT

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY - Serge Ibaka scored 15 points in a dramatic re-turn from what was thought to be a sea-son-ending left calf strain to help the Okla-homa City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 106-97 on Sunday night in Game 3 of the Western Conference fi-nals.

Russell Westbrook had 26 points, eight re-bounds and seven as-sists, and Kevin Durant added 25 points and 10 rebounds to help the Thunder cut the Spurs’ lead in the series to 2-1.

Ibaka started after missing the first two games of the series. The Thunder had said he likely would miss the rest of the playoffs, but the team changed course Friday.

“Obviously Serge came in and gave us a big lift not only on the defensive end but the offensive end,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said.

Manu Ginobili scored 23 points and Tim Duncan added 16 points and eight re-bounds for the Spurs.

Game 4 is Tuesday night at Oklahoma City.

Ibaka, who also had seven rebounds and four blocks, pointed to the sky as he left the game to cheers with 3:17 remaining and the Thunder ahead by 20 points.

The Thunder outre-bounded the Spurs 52-36 after losing the battle of the boards in the first two games. San Antonio, which shot at least 50 per cent in the first two games, shot just 40 per cent on Sun-day night.

“I was very disap-pointed that we didn’t come out with more of a foot in the neck sort of attitude,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “They killed us on the boards, they beat us in 50-50 balls and that’s very disappointing to me.”

San Antonio won the first two games by a combined 52 points, but things were different from the start with Iba-ka’s return. Brooks also inserted speedy Reggie Jackson into the starting lineup in Thabo Sefolo-sha’s place. Jackson fin-ished with 15 points.

The Edmonton Oil Kings overcame an early deficit to beat the Guelph Storm 6-3 and capture their first Memorial Cup in modern franchise history on Sunday afternoon.

Oil Kings beat out Storm, claim Memorial CupDonna Spencer

Canadian Press

LONDON, Ont. - In-spired by their late teammate, the Edmon-ton Oil Kings went to their seemingly bottom-less reserves to win the 2014 MasterCard Me-morial Cup.

The Oil Kings carried the No. 26 jersey of Kris-tian Pelss with them Sunday at Budweiser Gardens as they hoisted the trophy following a 6-3 win over the Guelph Storm.

Pelss was an Oil King two years ago when Ed-monton won a Western Hockey League cham-pionship and lost their Memorial Cup tiebreak-er in Shawinigan, Que. The 20-year-old Latvian died last year after div-ing off a bridge in Riga.

The loss of Pelss was an emotional touch-stone for Edmonton this season and particularly for the eight veterans who were his team-mates in 2012. Edmon-ton won the Memorial Cup playing with a fear-less, indefatigable, physical brand of hock-ey.

“Everyone knows about the passing of Kristian Pelss,” Henrik Samuelsson said. “He was a good buddy of mine. I know he was watching over us today and he definitely had a part of it.”

The son of New York Rangers assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson scored a pair of goals, including an empty-netter, and assisted on three goals Sunday.

With four goals and three assists, undrafted Latvian left-winger Ed-gars Kulda was named the tournament’s most

valuable player.“I kind of got lucky

with that,” Kulda said. “I don’t know how I got it, honestly. It’s a pleasur-able surprise for me. I’m happy to get that one too.”

Kulda contributed a goal and two assists in Sunday’s victory. Ed-monton also got goals from Cody Corbett, Tyler Robertson and Mitch Moroz. Goalten-der and Pittsburgh Pen-guins prospect Tristan Jarry made 32 saves for the win.

Robby Fabbri, Ste-phen Pierog and Zach Mitchell replied for the Ontario Hockey League’s Storm, whose only loss of the tourna-ment was the final. Guelph goaltender Jus-tin Nichols stopped 40 shots.

Edmonton’s run to the Cup was a marathon in many ways. Two weeks before Sunday’s final, they blew a three-goal lead at home in Game 6 of their WHL championship series.

The Oil Kings had to travel to Portland, Ore., the following day to win Game 7 less than 24 hours later.

Their triple overtime semifinal win over the Val-d’Or Foreurs on Fri-day was the longest game in tournament history at 102 minutes 42 seconds.

Add in a double overtime loss to the Fo-reurs in the preliminary round and the Oil Kings had played the equiva-lent of two more games in the tournament than Guelph heading into Sunday’s game. In both overtime games, Ed-monton had two-goal leads and third-period

leads.“We really did make

it quite hard on our-selves, but it shows how much we play for each other,” Edmonton assis-tant captain Curtis Lazar said.

Guelph took the most efficient route to the final and were thus the more rested team. The Storm outscored their opponents by a combined 18-7 to go unbeaten through three p r e l i m i n a r y - r o u n d games and earn the bye to the championship game.

Led by captain Grif-fin Reinhart, a New York Islanders prospect, they were a punishing team in their own end and were backstopped by the reliable Jarry.

Dear Readers: Many of you will be enjoying your Memorial Day week-end with barbecues and picnics, but we hope you will also remember the purpose behind the observance: a day to remember those servicemen and women who died serving their country. Please consider taking the time to visit a veterans hospital or military cemetery and pay your respects. And if you have a flag, it is appropriate to display it at half-staff until noon. “Last Monday in May” by John T. Bird of Birmingham, Ala. We pause to remember those who died with so much courage so much pride. They’ll never come back but memories endure to remind us of freedom: fragile, pure. We’re worthy of their sacrifice if we pause each day not just on the last Monday in May. Dear Annie: About five or six years ago, you printed a column about why we hand out poppies on Memorial Day. It had something to do with a poem from the first World War. At the time, I wasn’t that interested (sorry), but now that I have grandchildren old enough to understand history, I want them to have this information. Would you re-print it? -- Not a History Teacher in Tex-as Dear Not: Happy to do it. This poem is quite famous and used to be well known in the classroom, but we don’t know whether it is still being taught as often as it once was. If not, we think it deserves to be resuscitated. “In Flanders Field” was written in 1915 by Lt. Col. John McCrae, M.D., a Canadian who served as a surgeon in the Great War. He wrote it after witness-ing the death of a friend at Ypres, Bel-gium. McCrae died in France in 1918, at the age of 46, from pneumonia, an all-too-common battlefield ailment. “In Flanders Fields” In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. Inspired by McCrae’s poem, an Ameri-can woman, Moina Michael, wore pop-pies to honor the war dead. She also be-gan selling poppies to raise money for the disabled veterans of the Great War. This idea spread to France and England and then to Canada and the U.S, where it is still a tradition on Memorial Day.

AssociAted PressGOLETA, Calif. — The Internet

videos posted by Elliot Rodger are filled with threats and bitterness, but sheriff ’s deputies didn’t become aware of them until it was too late.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Of-fice spokeswoman Kelly Hoover says the agency ``was not aware of any videos’’ until after Rodger went on beach-town rampage that left six dead and 13 wounded.

Authorities believe the 22-year-

old died of a self-inflicted gunshot.A Rodger family attorney says they

called police after being alarmed by videos ``regarding suicide and the killing of people’’ that Rodger had posted.

Deputies visited Rodger last month after being alerted by local health officials, who had been in touch with the family. They conclud-ed he posed no threat.

It’s not clear why the sheriffs did not see the videos.

Sheriffs never saw threatening videos made by suspect before deadly rampage

AssociAted PressCONCORD, N.H. —

A 99-year-old Maine woman has graduated from college 75 years after a $5 fee kept her from getting her diplo-ma on time.

Beal College in Ban-gor awarded Jessie White her degree during a special ceremony on Friday hosted by Alan Stehle, the college’s president.

White told ABC News (http://abcn.ws/TIfpq4) the special ceremony was wonderful and a lot of fun.

White was supposed to graduate in 1939, but couldn’t afford the $5 transcript fee.

A friend who recently

learned of her de-cades-old predicament called Stehle, who paid her balance and set up the ceremony.

White, a Maine na-tive, received her degree in stenography and bookkeeping.

White suffered a dis-ability from a polio in-fection, but she persist-ed until she landed a job and worked for years as a bookkeeper.

White said finally getting her degree made her feel ``great.’’

``Never give up learning. They say when you give up learning you grow old,’’ she said, ac-cording to ABC News. ``So I don’t intend to give up learning.’’

Woman, 99, celebrates graduation 75 years

after $5 fee prevented her from getting diploma

AssociAted PressKINGSTON, Jamaica

— Lobbyists in Jamaica are urging the govern-ment to move quickly to decriminalize pot and establish a local medical marijuana industry.

The Cannabis Com-mercial and Medicinal Research Taskforce or-ganized a three-day conference on marijua-na decriminalization with Jamaica’s largest university. It ended Sat-urday.

On Sunday, the lob-byists issued a 12-point roadmap they want the government to follow.

They assert Jamaica can significantly benefit from cannabis commer-cialization.

Pot has been perva-sive but outlawed in Ja-maica for a century. But with some successes by the legalization move-ment around the globe, there’s a growing push to lift restrictions on the Caribbean island.

Some Cabinet minis-ters have publicly taken up the idea of medical marijuana and pot de-criminalization. But the government has provid-ed little indication of its thinking on the issue.

Lobbyists call for Jamaica to decriminalize pot, set up medical marijuana industry

A s s o c i At e d P r e s sBRUSSELS, Belgium

— Exit polls showed the far right and Eu-roskeptics making sweeping gains in Eu-ropean Parliament elections Sunday, sig-nalling a major political shift toward parties that

want to slash the Euro-pean Union’s powers or abolish it altogether.

Polls in recent days had predicted Eu-roskeptics could snag as many as a third of the seats in the EU’s 751-seat legislature in the vote ending Sunday.

One of the most sig-nificant winners ap-peared to be France’s far-right National Front. Two polling companies said the party, led by Marine Le Pen, was outright winner in France with one-quar-ter of the popular vote.

Voters in 21 of the European Union’s 28 nations voted Sunday. The other seven coun-tries had already voted, in a sprawling exercise of democracy that began Thursday in Brit-ain and the Nether-lands.

The results — official returns were expected later Sunday — will help determine the bloc’s future leaders and course. They could herald changes in EU policy in areas ranging from border control and immigration to a new trade and invest-ment agreement being negotiated with the U.S.

The National Front was not the only party benefiting from wide-spread disillusionment with the EU.

Unofficial exit polls reported a surge in support for Britain’s UKIP party.

Pollsters said the Danish People’s Party was also on target to be-come Denmark’s big-gest party with 23 per cent of the vote, and a year-old party in Ger-many that wants that country to stop using the euro single curren-cy reportedly won 6.7 per cent of the vote.

Reacting to her par-ty’s strong showing, Le Pen said Sunday, ``This hope should unite us.’’

In the Netherlands, however, the right-wing Euroskeptic Party for Freedom surprisingly dropped from second to fourth place, poll-sters reported.

Even in victory,

unity may be hard to find in the fractured Euroskeptic camp.

Le Pen has said she will work in the Parlia-ment with the Dutch Party for Freedom, but UKIP leader Nigel Farage has ruled out co-operating with both those parties, which have stridently anti-im-migrant platforms.

``We won’t work with right-wing popu-

lists,’’ Alternative for Germany’s leader Bernd Lucke also said after the vote, insisting his party was generally in favour of the Europe-an Union despite its re-jection of the common currency.

The European Par-liament estimated turnout as almost iden-tical to the last election in 2009, at 43.1 per cent.

Marie was born in Cranbrook, BC, to Mary Christina and Lovell Steele Murdoch. She spent her early years in Canal Flats, Bull River and Yahk before moving to Cranbrook.

She completed high school there and then went to Victoria for Normal School. Her fi rst year of teaching was in Fort Steele; it was the last year that there was a teacher there. She then taught in Cranbrook for a few years before moving to the coast. In 1955 she married Gordon Thompson and they lived on Thornhill in Maple Ridge for over 40 years. When Marie went back to teaching in the 60s she was instrumental in creating the remedial reading program in the district. She worked as principal’s relief at the east end schools, and also taught at many other elementary schools over the years. She ended her career in 1988 at Eric Langton.She was well known in the Thornhill community and was part of the crew that built the original Thornhill Hall. We can remember her and Dad cutting and painting the letters that made up the “THORNHILL PARK” sign on 100th Ave. She will be remembered for her love of children - at any baby shower, you could hand the new baby to Marie, and the baby would settle happily into Marie’s arms.Marie is survived by 6 children, Mary Parrish (Pat Rowe), Christie (John) Munro, Susan (Fred) Latulippe, Linda Cardinal (Kenny Neufeld) Tracy (Tim) Niemier and Peter Thompson, 5 grandchildren, Nicole (Todd) Parker, Donna and Carly Marsh, Ian and Steve Munro, and 2 great grandchildren, John and Elliette Parker. She is also survived by her sister Bertie Askew (Cranbrook) and her brother Bill Murdoch (Vernon) and many nieces and nephews and their children. Predeceased by her ex-husband Gordon Thompson, her father and mother, brothers Jack and Bob and sister Jean Murdoch, son-in-law Fred Latulippe and grandchildren Daniel and Rachel Munro.

Please join us to celebrate her life on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 1:00 at the Thornhill Hall,

26007 – 98th Ave, Maple Ridge, BC.In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to Plan

Canada or a charity of your choice.

COLUMBIA ICE-FIELDS, Alta. — What’s believed to be the most-visited glacier in North America is losing more than five metres of ice every year and is in danger of completely disappearing within a generation, says a Parks Canada manager.

The Athabasca Gla-cier is the largest of six ice sheets that form part of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. It is a popular destina-tion for tourists from around the world who climb aboard huge snow coaches to get an up-close look.

While it receives about seven metres of snowfall annually, the glacier has been slowly shrinking for about 150 years.

“It’s astonishing,’’ John Wilmshurst, Jasper National Park’s resource conservation manager, said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“Every year we drive stakes five metres deep into the glacier in the

fall. We have to return and re-drill them in mid-summer because a lot of those stakes on the Athabasca Glacier, the one that a lot of people go visit, will be lying flat on the ice at that time.

“We’re losing at least five metres a year on the surface of that glacier.’’

The passage of time is clearly visible at the ice sheet’s base. Mark-ers dating back as early as 1890 show the toe of the Athabasca Glacier has retreated 1.5 kilo-metres, leaving a moon-scape of gravel and rock behind.

“We’re doing our measurement close to the toe of the glacier and the amount of growth each year is dwarfed by the amount it recedes,’’ said Wilmshurst.

Bob Sandford, chair-man of the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the UN Water for Life Decade, said it’s “mind boggling’’ because not only is the glacier reced-ing — it’s also becoming shallower.

“I first wrote a tourist book on the Columbia

Icefields in 1994 and it was generally held that it was somewhere around 325 square kilo-metres. That icefield now is calculated to be about 220 square kilo-metres,’’ he said.

“Even though this year we will have had a

fairly substantial snow year, what we’re finding is that, even with sub-stantial snow years, the summers are warm enough and the fall is prolonged enough that all of that snow goes and we’re still losing five me-tres,’’ Sandford said.

“That gives you an indication of how rapid-ly things are changing.’’

A recent American state-of-the-union re-port has singled out the rapid melt of glaciers in British Columbia and Alaska as a major cli-mate change issue say-

ing they are “shrinking substantially.’’

The U.S. National Climate Assessment said the trend is expect-ed to continue and has implications for hy-dro-power production, ocean circulation pat-terns, fisheries and a

global rise in sea levels.The report said gla-

ciers in the region are losing 20 to 30 per cent as much as what is melt-ing annually from the Greenland Ice Sheet, which has received far more worldwide atten-tion.

Wilmshurst said it’s estimated that the Atha-basca Glacier is about 300 metres deep, but it is slowly disappearing.

Water from the Co-lumbia Icefields flow into the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans and the landscape will be much different if it is eventually gone.

“It is hard to know in the long term what cli-mate cycles mean to people. It does mean we should be preparing for drier conditions in the future. I think long term it’s not good news at all,’’ he said.

“Absolutely the gla-cier will be gone. Not within my lifetime, probably, but maybe within my children’s lifetime.’’

A popular tourist attraction, the Athabasca Glacier is part of the masssive Columbia Icefields which are a vast reservoir of ancient water.

Athabasca glacier melting at ‘astonishing’ rate

C anadian Press

TORONTO — Knowlton Nash, a veteran CBC broad-caster best known as long-time anchor of The National, is dead. He was 86.

The CBC reported Satur-day that Nash had been bat-tling Parkinson’s for some years.

Nash, who had a 37-year career with Canada’s public broadcaster, including spending a decade behind the anchor desk of The Na-tional, CBC’s flagship news program before the creation of Prime Time News.

It was there that the broadcaster whose warm eyes appeared magnified be-hind his oversized glasses earned the unofficial title Uncle Knowlty. It was a re-flection of his steady, easy-going style and earnest, scholarly delivery.

Ironically, his dedication to the craft led Nash to walk away from perhaps the most influential spot in Canadian television news in April of 1988.

It was the strongest en-ticement Nash could offer Peter Mansbridge, then a na-tional correspondent for CBC-TV, to stay in Canada.

Mansbridge had report-edly been offered a $1-mil-

lion salary to co-anchor a morning show on the U.S. network CBS.

But he agreed to stay over a late-night cup of hot choc-olate after Nash volunteered to move to The National’s weekend desk.

His departure — marked by a telephone call by then

Prime Minister Brian Mul-roney — marked the end of one of the most important decades in the history of the CBC’s television news divi-sion.

Nash had been a key play-er in transforming an ailing news show into a major rat-ings success. From 1969

when he retired his corre-spondent’s trenchcoat to 1978 when he took over an-choring The National, Nash was director of news and current affairs for the English network of the CBC.

It was under his steady guidance that The National moved to a then-unheard-of

10 p.m. time and was paired with his risky creation, The Journal.

The National/Journal hour became an unassail-able jewel in the network’s crown until anchor Barbara Frum’s death in 1992 brought the Journal to a halt and CBC executives took another gamble with the creation of a 9 p.m. news show, Prime Time News.

Born Nov. 18, 1927, Nash was the son of a promotions manager. His mother, 20 years his father’s junior, was the first woman to fly over Hamilton, he once bragged in an interview.

Except for a brief spell when Nash wanted to be a jockey, he always said he would be a newsman.

As a lad of less than 10, he put out several editions of his own weekly newspaper — six laboriously typed pages — which he sold for less than a nickel. He understood the business well enough to sell ad space in exchange for bubble gum and chocolate to local merchants.

By the Second World War, Nash was hawking the To-ronto Star and Telegram on a Toronto street corner.

And before leaving his Forest Hill high school he

was selling stories about col-legiate football to the Globe and Mail.

After attending the Uni-versity of Toronto, Nash was hired in 1947 for $18-a-week by the wire service British United Press. But before that he tried his hand writing for the magazine True Confes-sions and edited prisoners’ letters for True Crime.

In 1951, he began a hand-ful of years in Washington as head of public relations for the International Federation of Agricultural Producers, representing about 35 mil-lion farmers in some 40 countries.

Later, during a lengthy stint as a freelancer for the CBC, MacLeans magazine and anyone else who would pay him, Nash covered ev-erything from police courts to presidents. He followed John Kennedy, Lyndon John-son and Richard Nixon, and got the last lengthy interview given by Robert Kennedy be-fore he was assassinated.

He has written books about his career: History on the Run in 1984 and Prime Time At Ten in 1987. He is also the author of Kennedy and Deifenbaker (1990), Vi-sions of Canada (1991).
