Kimberley Rotarians and guests gathered at Centre 64 on Thursday, February 20 to honour two outstanding community volunteers with Paul Harris Fellows. They also gave a surprise honour to one of their own, Graham Mann (see related story, page 3) A Rotary Paul Harris Fellow is given to those who willingly and
without pay offer themselves in service to the community, Club president Bev McCormick told the crowd. She said there were 11 nominees put forward and it was narrowed down to the two by a vote. Introducing Shirley Rossi, Rotarian Sandra Roberts said that she first met Shirley in 1973 when she moved to Kimberley. “I met this friendly woman and she had me over for coffee and she said, “If you’re going to sit in your house, you’re going to be lonely. If you want to meet people, get out and volunteer.” Over the years, Rossi has been a
familiar face at Kimberley events. She has been “I am involved in Girl Guides, the PTA, United Way, Chamber of Commerce, Women of the Moose, ran the Miner’s Den at the ski resort, Snow Fiesta Queen Committee, Dynamiter Booster Club, JulyFest, WinterFest, KIOTAC, the Business Improvement Association, she was director of Food Services for the 1980 Winter Games and the Festival of the Arts. Shirley began her work with Summer Theatre in 1999 and continues to this day. She was the Beta Sigma Phi woman of the year in 1989 and won a commemorative medal
during the celebration of Canada’s 125 anniversary. It is estimated that over the years, Shirley has baked 30,000 meat pies to raise funds for one organization or another, Roberts said. “I am so happy to receive this award and so happy to share it with Jack,” Rossi said. Rotarian Mike Cave introduced Jack Ratcliffe, describing him as a man completely without ego. Cave said he would just stick to the top ten or twelve of the numerous organizations Ratcliffe has helped out over the years. See ROTARY, page 3

City to swap land City to trade lot on Alpine Cr. for former gas station site on Wallinger C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The paper work to finalize a land swap between the City of Kimberley and Two Oaks Holdings Ltd. is almost done. The City will take ownership of a lot on Wallinger Avenue opposite the Platzl — the site of the former Bavarian Esso. Two Oaks Holdings will receive a lot on Alpine Crescent in exchange. Mayor Ron McRae says the City is proceeding because of the need to do something with such a visible lot. See LAND, page 4

Rock violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist Tim Ellis thrilled the audience at a recent performance at the Key City Theatre. Meyer came to town at the invitation of the Cranbrook Violin Club, founded in 2010 by music teacher Kim Lutz. The club’s goal is to make music accessible to all families with young children. Earlier in the day, the students of Kootenay Orchards Elementary School were treated to an assembly with Meyer and Ellis, and afterwards the members of the Violin Club were fortunate to have the opportunity to attend Master Classes (pictured above) during which they learned about song writing and recording in addition to violin and guitar techniques from Aaron and Tim.

Rotarian Graham Mann attended last Thursday’s Paul Harris awards night with no idea he himself would be receiving an honour from Rotary himself — a fourth Paul Harris Fellowship. President Bev McCormick surprised Mann with the announcement that he would be honoured because of his tireless work as a ShelterBox ambassador. “Everyone in our area knows about ShelterBox and that’s all due to this man,” McCormick said. This is the fourth Paul Harris Fellowship Mann has received for his work with Rotary. See Page 5

PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Proposed Amendment of Official Community Plan
C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The owner of the white Volkswagon involved in an accident on Overwaitea Hill last week has visited the Kimberley Detachment, says RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. The driver of the VW was involved in a colli-
sion and lost the front grill on the vehicle, but did not stay at the scene to exchange information with the other driver. Newel says the owner is facing charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. The investigation is continuing.
The City of Cranbrook is proposing to amend the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP). On February 17, 2014, City Council gave First Reading to “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3791, 2014”. The proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will adopt the “Northern Area Plan” as a secondary plan within the City’s OCP. The purpose of the amendment is to: • •

where the girl passed away due to head and internal injuries. The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the girl. She was Rachel Dawn Deugau, aged 12, of Langham, Saskatchewan, a small community located 35 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death. Rachel’s family has been notified of her death. Conditions on the mountain were overcast with light snow. Visibility was excellent and the snow surface on the
trail was soft and groomed. The skier was wearing a helmet at the time. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the family,” said CEO and President of Panorama Mountain Village, Steve Paccagnan. “This is a tragic accident and we are doing everything we can to assist the family during this trying time. “We are all deeply saddened by this event and I want to thank the entire Emergency Response Team for their quick response and professionalism. They did all they could to save this little girl.”
City land swap Mayor promises community discussion on what to do with lot From page 1 “It is an eyesore. Everybody sees it, including the visiting public.” He said it’s important to note that there is no money changing hands. “This is not a cash sale,” said McRae. “There is no additional payment aside from closing costs.” McRae says the two lots are similar in size; the Alpine Cr. lot is 817.5 square metres, the Wallinger lot is 836 square metres. The properties are also similar in assessed value. The Alpine Cr. lot’s 2014 assessed value is $101,00 and the Wallinger lot is assessed at $113,00 for the land, with a small amount added for the present building. There are no firm plans for what will be done with the lot, the Mayor says. “At this point there are no firm plans for the Wallinger parcel. Staff has done some preliminary work in terms of potential costs for full remediation, as well as demolition of the building. But there will be further consultation with community stakeholders with respect to future plans for the lot.” The City can bring
the building down without a certificate of compliance from the Ministry of Environment, McRae said. He said the certificate would only be required if there was a move to change zoning on the property. Right now, the lot is often used for parking and McRae says he doubts there is an appetite on the part of Kimberley’s citizens to see that continue. But it is far too early to say what exactly will be done with the lot, though the Mayor does said that if the City proceeds with demolition of the building, the lot would have to be secured (fenced). McRae says the City does have a number of properties that they are always looking for opportunities to use as currency to provide enhancements. “It’s unfortunate that the former Bavarian Esso property is in the state that it is. We worked closely with the owners when they were struggling with wanting to do something with it. It made sense to trade with them to enhance not only appearance, but uses, in the downtown core.”

The letter was delivered by Andre Bloemink from Fernie, who works on ShelterBox Response Teams and credits Mann with inspiring him. “He is passionate about this cause and compassionate for the people who benefit,” Bloemink said. Mann has raised $121,000 for ShelterBox just in Kimberley in the past five years. “When you think that ten people can use one tent, that’s 12,000 people he has helped.” Mann received the award with gratitude and thanked the community of Kimberley. “This community gives again and again and again,” he said.

KIS Valentines gala The Kimberley Independent School hosted a Valentines Gala on February 14. The night included a dinner with live music by Sheva and the Hollers. The night continued with a live and silent auction that showcased the talent and generosity of the community in which we live. An enormous heartfelt thanks goes out to all that donated time, effort and silent and live auction items. A percentage of the money generated will go towards the creation of the outdoor nat-
ural playground this spring for the Chapman Camp Community Playground (CCCP). We are also happy to announce that the CCCP grant submission (consisting of an essay and video) to Majesta Trees of Knowledge, was short listed to the top 10. This means the next step is voting on-line between April 7th and May 5th (one vote per person per day). This playground will be an awesome addition to the community of Kimberley so keep your eyes open for the voting dates.

No increases in Kootenay East Regional Hospital District Budget
The Kootenay East Regional Hospital District (KERHD) has adopted its annual budget for 2014, and it includes some good news for taxpayers. The total budget is $8,740,419 which includes new approvals for $499,936 in capital expenditures and $5,882,642 for the Intensive Care Unit project and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. “This budget as adopted shows a 0% increase in taxation over last year, which is fantastic news for the citizens of the region,” says KERHD Board Chair, John Kettle. “This Board has always said
that we will tax only for what we need, and for the 6th straight year we have been able to approve new projects without increasing taxes.” Some of the capital projects for the coming year include the development of an isolation room at the Golden Hospital; Direct Digital Controls replacement at the Sparwood Health Centre, a C-Arm, portable x-ray system, cart washer and MRI upgrade for East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The 2014 budget also includes $388,500 in global grants for projects under $100,000. This year’s Hospital District tax rate will work out to about $16 per $100,000 of assessed value on a residential property.

Waxing eloquent on the subject of skis “Those who know everything are a great nuisance to us who think we already do.” Jonathan Dough A friend of mine wrote recently to ask if I might be enjoying the Olympics and added, “I think the North Americans need to learn how to wax their cross country skis. Pretty pathetic.” “Pretty pathetic” neatly describes my own antics at waxing over the millennia because, frankly, nobody had the patience to teach me to do it properly and, mostly, because I never bothered to find out. Waxing my downhill skis was an utter anathema to me; they went fast enough, thank you, although there were a couple of occasions late in the spring — read, early summer — when a dab of silver wax didn’t go amiss. In fact my friend Paul and I were nearly trapped overnight up on those trails near the Kimberley ski hill because, having climbed to the height of the runs, we found that our skis refused to move. Each time we scraped them clean of snow that looked like and acted like mashed potatoes and put them down they were loaded again. It took a lot of thought, a huge amount of very bad language, and an intensive search through our two back-packs until we discovered an ancient candle, half burned
through. Rubbed on thoroughly, that candle wax did the job and we skied to safety at last. The 20-year old chocolate bar — with dog hair attached — went down remarkably well. I am sure that it was with Paul again, plus another maniac, when we had climbed up into the Nine Basins of the Wildhorse one winter and almost came unstuck. In fact, we stuck. I’ve been reminded that it was due to my blundering off in the wrong direction that caused us to be so late and Peter so, when the temperature thus the snow became Warland and cold enough, our skis wouldn’t run. There we were with the bottom fallen out of the thermometer, night falling far too rapidly, and our skis refusing to budge. We were standing on precipitous slopes, attempting to look elegant, and we weren’t moving; we were forced to walk inelegantly downhill. All three of us waxed eloquent on that occasion, I can assure you. Later on, after we had survived that episode plus, whilst being towed behind the snowmobile, my falling asleep on my skis, some loquacious person endeavoured to explain the science of skiing on too cold snow but, what with the warm room, the big meal and my general fatigue, I lost interest. Apparently, we should have had a special wax with us.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
However, we had to “make do” when the snowmobile wouldn’t make progress up into the Paradise Mine that spring. As if it were a noisy mule, it just refused to move. Apparently, the runners at the front wouldn’t run and so, after a “Zorba the Greek” dance, we dug out some silver ski wax and applied that. Improvisation was the word that bright day until the snowsled, sputtering indignantly, ended up way down a precipitous bank in the creek. An avid ski friend from Norway once tried to interest me in the ideas of his ancestors the Sami — those Lapp people who herd reindeer in the north. This shared interest occurred when Sami, as we called him, snapped a wooden ski in two on the mountain near Pine Pass, north of Prince George and had to make his way down in a series of long traverses with one foot on the remaining unbroken ski and the other limb on the broken bit. Sami pondered between sensational falls what his ancestors, who rushed about on skis of differing lengths might have used as a wax. We suggested reindeer poop but Sami wasn’t convinced. He claimed that he’s once used door hinges as bindings on his cross-country skis but, in that school-learned English modified by a few years in Quebec logging camps, it was hard to decide if he might be kidding. Clearly then, I should be taking some genuine lessons in waxing skis, but not just yet; it might spoil the fun.

Letters to the Editor
Snowmobiles/Caribou
Response to Snowmobiles/Caribou (Letter, Feb. 20). Personally I support snowmobiling and caribou. Here are the facts from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Planning and Development Services Committee meeting of February 13, 2014. The Agenda is posted on the RDEK website and this was item 9.4.2 under Natural Resource Operations Referrals. The Staff Report that accompanied the motion said: “The proposed camp location is surrounded by the largest continual caribou habitat area shown in the Cranbrook West Management Strategy. Staff notes that the use of the proposed camp location by the guide-outfitting operation for the limited time and intensity mentioned in the application may not cause negative impacts; however permitting use by the snowmobile club has the potential to increase use of the area throughout the winter and could cause negative pressure on the local caribou population.” The RDEK voted in favour of the proposed camp location but not in favour of using the camp for snowmobiling. The vote was 14 Directors in favour and 0 opposed – a unanimous decision. As you know the herd of caribou referred to is a rare and endangered species, and the RDEK motion is a recommendation to the Province’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. If this is not a critical area for caribou as outlined by staff, the Province has the right to approve the snowmobile clubs use of the camp. In the end it is their decision. I would encourage everyone to attend the RDEK Committee and Board meetings which are generally held the first Thursday and Friday of each month in the Regional District Boardroom located at #19 – 24th Ave. S. in Cranbrook (adjacent to the hospital parking lot). This is an important and interesting level of government that you as taxpayers pay into every year. The meetings are open to the public and the gallery is usually empty except for delegations and the media. It’s a great place to get the facts on lots of interesting issues! Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. As I said at the beginning of this letter I am in favour of both snowmobiling and caribou! Wayne Stetski Mayor of Cranbrook
Urban Deer
According the article in the Townsman, Feb. 20 (City to survey residents on deer cull), the article refers to Councillor Gerry Warner, and says that he “does not support the city spending any money on the survey (deer cull), when it is clear to him that Cranbrook has a problem with urban deer.” Then Councillor Warner is directly quoted as saying, “How much longer do we need to go on debating and surveying? I think that issue is settled and I’d like to go on record now saying I will support a cull of deer in our city at any time.” So, Coun. Warner, YOU think the issue is settled? You seem certain that probably 95 per cent of the people in Cranbrook would support the massacre of which you speak. Where are you getting these numbers? It sure wouldn’t be from many of the people that I talk to. Humanity and emotions aside Mr. Warner, you can’t just round
up stats out of the air to support your wanting to go on a killing spree. Holy Bill of Animal Rights, Batman, give your head a shake. Realizing there could be (and are) genuine concerns with deer in mating season or when babies are young, doesn’t mean the only way to solve it is with killing the animals. Just because we can do something, doesn’t mean that we should. If the estimated cost of 10 stolen deer traps is $17,000, could that money not be used toward the costs of relocating families of deer? Rather than trapping them and then killing them — kind of like shooting fish in a barrel? It is my understanding that it is actually difficult to relocate deer. I imagine it was also difficult to build a town in the middle of a mountain forest and yet, we did that. And now we have a problem. I am not claiming to have the answers, I am just questioning how we can call the deer “aggressive” and still think of ourselves as “evolved” when our first response to “something being in the way” is to kill it. Jacquie Clinton Cranbrook
Koocanusa
Re: “Koocanusa recreational issues to the fore,” Feb 18. It is with dismay that I read that there is to be yet another ‘study’, the land use and abuse issues at Koocanusa. Only in this case it is called a “scoping exercise!” There are enough studies and plans gathering dust on government shelves to choke a hippo. What we should be examining is the lack of will to put the plans in practice! In 2005 the ORV Coalition put forth a comprehensive report on off road vehicle management that to date is still waiting to be used as intended (bcgrasslands.org/stewardship-a-planning/orv-coalition, bcgrasslands.org/images/stories/learnmore/Our%20Publications/final_orv_recommendations.pdf ). It is time to get on with it and not stand still as the last jurisdiction in North America to allow ORVs to go unregulated. Yes I said LAST. The other mentioned problems in Koocanusa already have laws to deal with them. What is lacking is the resources to enforce those laws. I would suggest not wasting money on another ‘study’ and use it to fund the Conservation Officer and Compliance and Enforcement Services. An unnecessary study is just another excuse to not actually do something that will make difference on the ground. It should be noted that the problems at Koocanusa, although egregious, are not contained to that area. Rangelands throughout the whole Trench suffer similar abuses. The Kootenay Livestock Association, as well as many other stakeholder groups, have been asking for these problems to be addressed for 30 years. Land and habitat is being severely damaged and destroyed. Action is well overdue. The government used to have planners, but to my understanding have either let them go or reassigned them. I am sure one of them could be reassigned again to dust off those old plans and get them into practice. Time is a-wasting. Don Lancaster

Those eerie pictures of kids from yesteryear
W
Mike Selby
hile the small fishing village of Osprey, Florida is ideal for retirees, Ransom Riggs didn’t think it was the most exciting place to be raised in. With few children to play with, Riggs spent his childhood weekends antiquing with his grandmother. Initially bored out of his mind, he soon became fascinated by century-old black and white photographs which could be found at nearly every stop. Although he found all of the photos to be weird, the ones of children always gave him the shivers. “Pictures of kids from a long time ago” Riggs would later state, “are inherently creepy. Riggs happily left Osprey after high school, and attended university in Ohio and later in California. He became an acclaimed filmmaker (The Accidental Sea), and an equally acclaimed writer (The Sherlock Holmes Handbook, Mental Floss).
Monday, February 24, 2014
While scouting for a film location in 2010, Riggs happened to walk by the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, only to find his childhood revisiting him. One vendor had displayed hundreds of old photographs of children. Riggs ended up buying them all, and the spent the rest of the year hunting and collecting any black and white pictures of children he could find. Riggs took a handful of the most disturbing looking photos to his editor at Quirk Publishing, asking him if he would like to publish a coffee table book of the haunting images. After flipping through them all, the editor suggested that instead of a picture book, Riggs should write a novel about the children found in the pictures. “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” appeared in June of 2011, and spent the next 63 weeks at the top of the New York Times Best Seller List. The novel
is story of a teenager who travels to a small island off the coast of Wales in search of his grandfather’s murderer. The book includes 44 pictures from Riggs’ collection, with the creepiest one he ever found adorning the cover. His original idea for a coffee table book of just the photos was published in 2012 as “Talking Pictures.” The photos Riggs chose for this book all had inscriptions written on them—illuminating what would otherwise be a collection of lost photographs. “Hollow City,” the sequel to “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” was published just last month. More than 50 photos are found peppered throughout the book, each one somehow more freaky-looking than the rest. Ransom Riggs is currently working on the third book in the series.

Dynamiters close out regular season with a win over Fernie TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters closed out their regular season with a 4-2 win over the Fernie Ghostriders on Saturday night at the Civic Centre. Dylan Sibbald and Tyler Garcia each led the way with a goal and an assist, while Bryce Nielsen and Tyson Klingspohn added scoring for the Nitros. Spencer Bender and Austin Hirano replied for the Ghostriders. Tyson Brouwer picked up the win for Kimberley with 21 saves, while Austin Wells turned away 24 shots for the Riders. Sibbald opened the scoring in the first peri-
od, while Bender replied in the middle frame. Hirano put the Riders up early in the third period, however, a trio of Nitro powerplay goals were good enough to seal up the win for Kimberley.
Garcia scored first, while Nielsen followed a few minutes later with the go-ahead goal. Klingspohn gave Kimberley a two goal lead with just over eight minutes to go in the game,
which proved to be too much for Fernie. Kimberley ends the regular season with a 29-21-2-0 record with 60 points, which puts them in second place in the Eddie Mountain Division. The Nitros have home-ice advantage, and will face off against the Riders in the first round of the playoffs. Creston Valley finished in the division lead with 80 points, while the Kamloops Storm finished first overall in the KIJHL with 85 points and a 42-9-0-0 record. The first playoff round opens on Tuesday evening at the Kimberley Civic Centre between the Nitros and the Riders.
Barry Bonds is set to become Giants spring training instructor ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Barry Bonds is all set to return to the San Francisco Giants. As a spring training instructor, that is. The all-time home run leader who never officially retired is expected to arrive during the second week of March. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that he’s looking forward to having the 49-year-old
Bonds in camp and thinks he can help the hitters. Bonds spent his last 15 seasons with the Giants, finishing in 2007. He has not been elected to the Hall of Fame, with many voters saying his lofty numbers were boosted by performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds set major league records with 762 career home runs and 73 in 2001. He also had a
.444 career on-base percentage and a .607 slugging percentage and stole 514 bases. He’ll join former Giants Jeff Kent, Robb Nen, Will Clark and J.T. Snow as special instructors. Kent and Bonds were involved in a highly publicized feud during the 2002 season, which reached its peak in June, when the two engaged in a shoving match in the dugout.

Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski makes the game-winning save against Jason Fram of the Spokane Chiefs during a shootout on Friday night at Western Financial Place.
Ice split with Spokane TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Home ice really is an advantage. The Kootenay Ice and the Spokane Chiefs each came away with a win on home soil, as they took turns hosting each other this weekend. The Ice pulled out a 3-2 shootout victory on Friday at Western Financial Place, but dropped a 6-3 decision to the the Chiefs in Spokane on Saturday. The Ice remain in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind the Medicine Hat Tigers, who occupy fourth. Chiefs sniper Mitch Holmberg scored a first-period hat trick on the way to a 6-3 win in Spokane. Carter Proft added a pair of goals, while Marcus Messier also supplied offence for the Chiefs. Tim Bozon, Zach Franko and Jagger Dirk responded for the Ice. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski was replaced by Wyatt Hoflin after the first period, after allowing four goals in 15 shots. Chiefs netminder Eric Williams made 33 saves for the win. Holmberg scored his hat trick in the span of 9:01 and Messier added a goal in the final minute of the opening peri-
od for a 4-0 Chiefs lead. Franko answered back with the lone goal in the second period, while Bozon tallied early in the final period. Reinhart picked up an assist on the play, extending his point streak to 20 games, one away from the franchise record held by Ice alum Mike Comrie. However, Proft got his first less than a minute after Bozon scored, and added a second 10 minutes later. Jagger Dirk replied with a late powerplay goal, but the Ice ran out of time to mount a comeback. It was a better result on Friday in Cranbrook, as Kootenay picked up a shootout win despite outplaying their opponents for much of the game.
Rinat Valiev was the shootout hero, beating Williams through the five-hole, while Skapski was perfect in turning away all five Spokane shooters. “It feels great,” said Valiev. “I’m so happy to get the win and we get the two points.” Dirk opened the scoring in the first period with a huge slap shot at the point, which was assisted by Landon Peel and Reinhart. Valiev added Kootenay’s second goal in the middle frame with another shot at the blue line that redirected past Williams. However, Keanu Yamamoto caught fire, scoring twice for the Chiefs before the period ended to knot the game up at 2-2. “They got a lot of firepower up front with
Holmberg and Aviani— Holmberg has 50 goals and Aviani has 30, or something like that,” said Dirk. “So if we shut those two guys down, that’s a lot of their offence, but there are also other guys who can score, so we just got to keep playing as a team and do a better job in front of the net. “Tonight, we didn’t do a very good job, that’s how they were able to score their two goals.” Though both teams pressed for the equalizer in the third and OT periods, it remained a tie game. Bozon and Reinhart looked as if they scored on their shootout attempts—Bozon’s even went to video review, but it took till the fifth round for Kootenay to score on Valiev’s effort.
Elynuik faces former team TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Ice saw a familiar face in the Spokane lineup this weekend, and vice versa. It was the first time the two teams played each other since a trade sent former Kootenay forward Hudson Elynuik to the Chiefs in exchange for defenceman Tyler King. Trades are a part of the business side of major-junior hockey, but Elynuik hasn’t missed a beat with his new surroundings. “Things are going really good,” said Elynuik. “I’ve had a great opportunity
given to me and I’m just trying make the best of it and it’s going well so far. “…A great team. I love the guys here, we got great leadership in the room and a great hard-working team and I think I fit in well here.” For Elynuik, it was a different feeling coming back to Western Financial Place, where he played 31 games in his rookie year with the Ice. “It’s weird coming back to where you’ve played before,” said Elynuik. “Those nerves start to kick in during the game and I tried to get in a few shifts to get rid of them. Just play the game—play hard and play smart.”

A golden defence for the Canadian men’s hockey team Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
SOCHI, Russia Team Canada’s best players brought their best game and left with gold. On the world’s biggest stage, Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby made good on their strong tournaments and controversial roster pick Chris Kunitz sealed the victory as Canada won its second straight Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey with a 3-0 win over Sweden on Sunday. Canada did not trail at any point in the final or over the course of the entire tournament and finished as the first undefeated gold medallist since the Soviet Union in 1984 in Sarajevo, beating Norway, Austria, Finland, Latvia, the United States and Sweden along the way. Until Sunday, Toews and Crosby were two of Canada’s best players through the first five games but did not have a goal to show for it. Canadian coach Mike Babcock brushed off concerns about a lack of offence from his forwards, figuring they would come but hoping the stars wouldn’t “run out of time.” “They’re leaders for a reason,” Canadian forward Jeff Carter said of Toews and Crosby. “They brought it every night.” Toews, who opened the scoring with a deflection in the first period, and Crosby, who beat Henrik Lundqvist on a breakaway in the second, delivered just in time. Putting up two goals meant Sweden would have had to score as many goals in the
third period as Canada gave up in its first five games of the Olympics. That defensive dominance continued against Sweden, which was without first-line centre Nicklas Backstrom, a late scratch due to a positive drug test. NHL stars accustomed to more offensive roles continued to display the kind of hard-working defensive intensity Babcock needed out of them, limiting Sweden’s scoring chances in the process. Goaltender Carey Price made 24 saves for his second straight shutout to cap off his impressive tournament in which he allowed just three goals in five starts.
“Our defence was great the whole tournament. The goalie was spectacular.” Patrick Marleau “Our defence was great the whole tournament,” said Canadian forward Patrick Marleau. “The goalie was spectacular.” Some members of the Canadian team smiled and hugged as the waited to be awarded their gold medals, but the players seemed as businesslike as they did on the ice throughout the tournament. Injured forward John Tavares wore a shirt and tie under his Canada jersey as he had his medal hung around his neck.

SOCHI, Russia - Steve Yzerman won’t be going for a third Olympic gold medal. Team Canada’s executive director says he will not lead the team into the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Yzerman built the team that beat Sweden 3-0 on Sunday to capture a second straight men’s hockey gold at the Sochi Olympics. He leaves his post after leading Team Canada to back-to-back gold medals for the first time since 1948 and 1952. He assembled one of the best defensive lineups ever to wear the Maple Leaf in Sochi as Canada gave up just three goals in six games. They shut out the Americans 1-0 in the semifinals before defeating Sweden in the final. When asked if the team in Sochi is the best defensive crew ever to represent Canada, Yzerman said “I believe so.”
Sweden’s players were largely stone-faced as they received their silvers, as if they had come to terms with the result before the final whistle. By beating Sweden, Canada became the first back-to-back gold-medal winner since the NHL began sending its players in 1998. It was the first time Canada won gold in two straight Games since 1948 and 1952. And this didn’t take a fortunate bounce Quality chances came fast and furious in the game’s first few minutes. Crosby generated the first one 57 seconds in when he batted the puck down and found Patrice Bergeron for a shot from between the circles that Lundqvist got in front of. Canada’s Jamie Benn and Sweden’s Niklas Kronwall traded shots before Bergeron picked off a pass from Johnny Oduya three minutes in and shot it right into Lundqvist. Sweden’s best chance of the first period was a minute later, when Gustav Nyquist’s shot from close range hit the left post behind Price. Canada’s starter looked behind him to see the puck inches from the goal line before covering it up. Bergeron continued his tremendous start by shooting off the shaft of Lundqvist’s stick and hitting the post 11 minutes in. That helped Canada turn the tide after being on the receiving end for a handful of shifts. It was the line of Marleau, Carter and Toews that has been together the longest that got Canada on the board at the

Team Canada celebrates their gold medal after defeating Sweden 3-0. 12:55 mark. Carter skated down the right wing almost to the goal-line and found Toews streaking to the net. Able to keep his stick free from Patrik Berglund, Toews got it on the puck and deflected it off the inside of Lundqvist’s right pad and in. With Martin St. Louis inserted onto the fourth line in place of Patrick Sharp, Canada generated a couple of scoring chances and got a power play after Matt Duchene drew a penalty on Swedish defenceman Jonathan Ericsson. Unable to score in those two minutes, Canada went on the kill late in the first into the second after a Kunitz high-sticking penalty and got the job done. Canada had the lion’s share of chances throughout the second period, save for a couple of opportunities by Loui Eriksson and Erik Karlsson, who came into the day tied for the tournament lead in scoring. Karlsson also made a
good stick check on Crosby to thwart the captain in open ice. But Crosby wasn’t going to be denied at the 15:43 mark, when he poked the puck away from Ericsson at Canada’s blue-line and blew right by Alexander Steen to get a breakaway. Crosby had just enough time to think, go backhand and bank the puck
off Lundqvist’s left pad an into the net. It didn’t have the drama of Crosby beating Ryan Miller for the golden goal in Vancouver four years ago, but as he raised his arms in the air it looked like Canada couldn’t be beaten on this day. Kunitz, who made the team because of his natural chemistry with
Crosby, did it all by himself to provide Canada with breathing room. Kunitz took the puck away from Daniel Sedin, skated over the blue-line and beat Lundqvist clean at the 9:04 mark of the third period. Because Canada gave up just three goals all tournament, that set off quite the celebration on the bench. 828C Baker Street Cranbrook, BC 250.489.4512

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel as though someone is crossing the line. You know your limits, but this person seems to have forgotten what they are. In your most caring manner, do your best to communicate your boundaries; hopefully you will be heard. Tonight: Sort through offers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When you are focused, little can disrupt you.

Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are full of enthusiasm, but you tend to hold a lot back. A key person might think you are too serious. Make it a point to verbalize the extent of your imagination and express more of your innate passion. Think positively. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A friend could push you to react or go along with his or her pressure. Your response should be based on whether you are for or against the issue in question. The unexpected will occur with a child or a new friend -- be prepared. Tonight: Follow a dream. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if you can’t be stopped, no matter what you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to face a problem after revisiting former solutions.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My son recently said something that embarrassed me and kept me awake most of the night. My wife and I were at his home for dinner, along with my daughter and several others. We were talking about TV, and my son mentioned a show where a guy does all kinds of things to save money. He said to my daughter, “If you think your daddy is cheap, you should see this guy.” I said nothing at the time because I didn’t want to spoil the occasion. But evidently, he and my daughter both think I am cheap. Annie, I put both of them through college, and so they don’t owe any money. I worked three jobs so my son could attend a prestigious university out East. They have never wanted for anything. It’s been three months, and I’m still hurting. Any advice? -- Disappointed Dad Dear Dad: No one wants to be thought of as cheap, especially by his own children. But we don’t think your son or daughter intended to be hurtful. What you consider sensibly frugal, they undoubtedly recall as you saying “no” to their innumerable requests for toys, gifts, vacations, etc., and how pleased you were when you saved a penny here and there. But please don’t let this fester, as it could damage your relationship with your children. Talk to your son and tell him how much his comment hurt you. We hope he’ll be more aware of your feelings in the future. Dear Annie: I have been a widow for three years. My husband was my first love, and we were married for 36 years. I have now met a man who seems similar to my late husband. I really like “Don,” but I worry that he only wants a caregiver. When we first met, I asked whether he had any health issues, and he said no. But after our second date, he started saying our relationship wasn’t moving fast enough. After a month, Don ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack, for which he needed a stent. A week later, he was back in the hospital. I think Don lied to me about his health and is looking for someone to be a nursemaid. I like him, but I’m not willing to put forth that kind of effort for a man who has lied to me. I don’t mean to sound callous, but I don’t want to take care of a stranger. It is different when you have loved someone for a while, as opposed to walking into a relationship with someone who already has health problems. Am I doing the right thing by breaking it off, or should I go along and see what is ahead for us? I really am confused. -- Don’t Want To Be Saddled So Soon Dear Don’t: Heart attacks are generally unexpected, so unless Don was aware that he had heart problems, he may not have been lying about his health. And over time, health problems are more likely to arise in any relationship. However, we are more concerned that Don seems to be rushing things. You should never feel pressured to move faster than what makes you comfortable. If you enjoy Don’s company, there’s no reason not to continue seeing him, but make it clear that you are in no hurry. If he wants a caregiver, he should look elsewhere. Dear Annie: I read the responses to “I Need Nice Clothes, Too,” about large-size clothing selections. My complaint is about petite sizes for mature women. There is no selection at all. It’s as if we are being discriminated against because we are short. We like to dress fashionably. We wear coats, pajamas, slacks and dresses, but few stores carry petite sizes, and fewer still have clothing suitable for anyone over 12. I’m sure it’s the same problem for tall women. -- Warren, Ohio Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper
250-426-5201 ext 202
250-427-5333
A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
Call today and start advertising.
