Kootenay Pass avalanche claims one Nelson man dies, woman transported to Trail hospital BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Local search and rescue teams responded to an emergency call Sunday afternoon after an avalanche in the Kootenay Pass area left one man dead and one woman injured. A 27-year old male from Nelson suffered severe injuries and passed away at the scene of the avalanche and the 27-year old woman, also from Nelson, is in Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital with serious injuries, according to a Monday news release by the Salmo RCMP detachment. The incident unfolded in the early “You have to afternoon when four be quite skilled skiers from Nelson trekked through to be in there a remote section because it is southwest from the Kootenay Pass backcountry touring in deep Summit and two were hit by a slide that powder and swept them over the cliff and into trees avalanches below. are a risk.” Six skiers who RON MEDLAND were nearby the slide began rescue efforts while the two remaining members of the group skied to the highway to call for help. “This is a popular ski area with nice powder, and the only access in is by foot,” said Ron Medland, from South Columbia Search and Rescue (SAR). “You have to be quite skilled to be in there because it is backcountry touring in deep powder and avalanches are a risk.” Medland confirmed that three members from his rescue team joined SAR members from Castlegar, Nelson and Rossland to ski about three kilometres into the rescue area after the two skiers were initially located by helicopter. “Across the parking lot (summit) there is an old logging road that goes south through a couple of switchbacks and leads to a ridge called the Lightning Strike,” he explained. “Below that is a couple of lakes called Twin Lakes,” said Medland. “This is high skill stuff. Our teams skied in and rescued the one person and brought (her) out about 12:30 a.m. to a waiting ambulance.” Rescue teams considered staying with the deceased male until morning, however an onsite avalanche technician said the risk of further See AVALANCHE, Page 3

Leadership students Kyla Mears, Madeline Tuai, Gina and Kate Oostlander and Andrea Bedin have a number of activities up their sleeves for this Wednesday's anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day at J. L. Crowe Secondary School. Among them, the team of Grade 10 and 11 girls will be writing inspirational messages on sticky notes that will be pasted throughout the hallways.

Anti-bullying efforts working: survey BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

J. L. Crowe Secondary students could be wearing pink shirts every day, if recent Grade 8 results to an anti-bullying survey is any indication. A national statistic on stopabully.ca finds that 12 per cent of students report an incident per week, but student counsellor Loretta Jones says the amount of bullying at the Trail high school is generally much lower. But that doesn’t mean students and teachers are sitting idle as the problem persists in other schools across the country. Leadership Grade 11 students Andrea Bedin and Madeline Tuai along with Grade 10 students Kate and Gina Oostlander and Kyla Mears have planned a number of activities for this Wednesday’s Pink Shirt Day. The team will be posting inspirational messages on sticky notes throughout

selling pink-inspired cupcakes during lunch hour, with proceeds going to two youth-empowering summits planned for this spring. Though sporting pink this Wednesday is a nice gesture to symbolize that society will not tolerate bullying anywhere, the school’s work to erase it starts early on. Discussion on healthy relationships start when the incoming Grade 8 class completes a survey for the provincial program ERASE, a comprehensive prevention and intervention strategy, and every two years when Crowe’s entire student population completes a Safe at School Survey. The focus really started last year and amped up this fall and into December, when students often rolled their eyes at yet another anti-bullying activity. “I think we have a great reputation for the most part,” said Jones.

RDKB plans for possible pot operations By Valerie Rossi Times Staff

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is preparing for a changing field for the medical marijuana industry, which could eventually result in commercially licensed businesses cropping up in its agricultural land. The current system of personal use licences and designated licences will be phased out this spring, and new federal licences geared to large scale production and distribution facilities will be established under Health Canada's Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulation. While local governments don't have jurisdiction over land within the Provincial Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), there can be some regulatory provisions imposed such as minimum setbacks from property lines or fencing requirements, according to Mark Andison, RDKB general manager of operations. “Within the ALR, which is essentially a single zone that applies to the agricultural areas of the province, the province of B.C. has established over-arching land use regulations which supersede local governments’ authority to plan and regulate those agricultural lands,” he said. “One of the principal permitted uses in the ALR is agriculture.” As a result, the regional district is reviewing the zoning bylaw for Electoral Area B –– which includes Genelle, Rivervale, Oasis, Casino, Blackjack, South Belt, Sheep Creek and Patterson –– and Electoral Area D's community plan (rural Grand Forks) to decide whether or not to establish policies and regulations specific to medical marijuana production facilities. “Also, they are considering whether these facilities

should be limited to agricultural areas or whether they may also be permitted as an industrial use in industrially-zoned areas,” added Andison. “No final decisions have been made to date regarding any new policy or industrial zoning.” Area B director Linda Worley confirmed that the discussion has been tossed around by the committee reviewing the Official Community Plan. “This is an ongoing conversation with the province so it will be there decision and they're not very quick at making that decision, because it is a very high profile and controversial issue,” she said. To her recollection, about half of Area B's communities have some farming, but there has yet to be any interest put forward on marijuana production. The RDKB has received two notices of intent to apply to Health Canada for medical marijuana production licenses, but both are from the Boundary area (Rock Creek and west of Grand Forks). While there has not been any concerns brought forward locally, Worley said some heard across the province include odour or possible effects from airborne product. “There's not enough done on it yet that I can positively say 'I support or don't support it,'” she added. “I'm not ready at this point to say anything.” Whether or not RDKB's applicants will be considered viable will be up to Health Canada. Beginning April 1, medical marijuana production will be considered a farming crop under the Agricultural Land Commission Act and therefore permitted in the ALR, along with related accessory uses such as the drying, processing and packaging of the product.

FROM PAGE 1 “But when you talk about bullying, I think the overall perception, by kids in general, is that there is a problem with bullying because in general it has been in the media.” Such was the case found last year when 91 per cent of all student parents reported that their child felt safe at school but 79 per cent said there is a mild to moderate problem with bullying at Crowe. The convoluted response led Jones to believe that perception can often overrule reality and has only further piqued her interest in the topic she delved into for her capstone project, a requirement for a Masters Degree. “My passion is this because I deal with it in my everyday life a lot and that’s not to say bullying happens everyday but conflict does,” said Jones. This year’ survey, completed by only Grade 8 students and their parents, spoke more true to what the case is in the high school’s hallways, said Jones. About 97 per cent of Grade 8s reported that they felt safe in school often or always, while their parents (nearly 97 per cent) were confident in student and staff efforts to make the school a safe place. “We’ve all been bullied before, in tiny little ways,” said Grade 10 student Gina Oostlander. But have you? Bullying is defined as a deliberate action meant to hurt another student. It’s often a repeated action and is done by a person in a position of power, either socially or physically. It’s different from peer conflict and meanness. “People fight and we need to say ‘that’s healthy, that’s OK and here is the right way to deal with it,’” said Jones. “It’s not ‘I’m mad at you and now I’m going to go sit on my phone and gather my posse around.’” The survey revealed another contradictory fact at Crowe. Unlike what is happening nationally, verbal and social bullying were more common forms of bullying taking place at the school, with a minimal amount of physical bullying and the common form of bullying in schools nationally: electronic (cyber). Areas of improvement under the ERASE program include an effort from a bystander to step up during a bullying situation. “Fifteen per cent of our students did not know what to do if they were being bullied or if they saw bullying and I would like to see this percentage go down to zero,” said Jones. It’s important for the students to have a voice, she added, and that’s why student-driven events and projects are popping up in the hallways at Crowe. Besides the Leadership students planning Pink Shirt Day, Grade 12 student Jade Lewis has been tasked with writing the student code of conduct on the walls. She feels privileged to add the first mark to a new school with “Jade’s Art Attack,” stylized text paintings that will be painted in Crowe’s existing circular design elements. The project was kickstarted by a youth action grant from the Columbia Basin Trust.

Regional fire rescue responded to a reported gas leak at JF Auto Centre in Trail Monday morning. Deputy Regional Fire Chief Dan Derby said there was work being done behind the building with a machine and a gas line was breached in result. Both JF Auto staff and its neighbour Able Plastics were evacuated from the buildings until the scene was secured and the gas was pinched off by FortisBC.

Lost skier found Friday near Red

By Times Staff A search and rescue effort came to a happy conclusion Friday when an RCMP Air Services helicopter spotted a missing skier near Red Mountain Resort. A 67-year-old area man, who was skiing at Red Mountain, was reported missing Thursday night around 5:30 p.m. Rossland and District Search and Rescue, assisted by members of Columbia Valley Search and Rescue, initiated a ground search but suspended it overnight and resumed at 6 a.m. on Friday. The skier was located at approximately 1 p.m. walking along the Sheep Creek Road area, south west of the resort. According to an RCMP press release,

Scrap King still running Avalanche risk high

The Nelson Star A Salmo auto wrecker remains in business following a fire that destroyed their office. Scrap King owner George Vosburgh said they are still towing and selling auto parts from a temporary office on site after the blaze on Airport Road on the afternoon of Feb. 6. “We’re back hard at it,” he said. “We’ve ordered new debit machines and

computers. We lost lots in the fire but we’re starting again.” No one was hurt but the 2,600 square foot onestorey modular building burned to the ground. In addition, the fire destroyed an uninsured semi-trailer and about 5,000 alternators and starters. “We had a huge selection I’d been working on for years,” Vosburgh said. The fire’s cause hasn’t been determined.

FROM PAGE 1 slides was too high and the area too dangerous for the SAR members to remain behind in the dark. “The danger is out there and so many people use the back country in that area,” said Medland. “Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before something happened.” The Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) issued a special public avalanche warning last week for recreational backcountry users to use extreme caution because fresh snow on top of a weak crust created the potential for large destructive slides. “There’s a lot of pent-up demand for powder after that dry spell (January and February) but this weak layer is going to be a problem for the foreseeable future,” said the centre’s Karl Klassen. “Staying safe will require patience and discipline as long as this layer is in play.”

ers traveled to out-of-bound areas before getting lost, according to Don Thompson, vice president of operations and development at the resort. “It's just bigger now so the propensity for people to see snow and want to go ski it; I think it's a higher probability, that's all,” Thompson said Monday. “The last thing we want is people getting lost,” he added. “It's in nobody's best interest whatsoever so we're taking it very seriously and looking at all kinds of options.” A new chapter at Red Resort began when the chairlift on Grey Mountain opened for the first time Dec. 14, which expanded the area with access to over 1,000 acres of skiing.

the experienced skier had become disoriented in heavy fog on Grey Mountain just before noon on Thursday. In trying to return to the lodge area, he accidentally left the inbounds area and continued away from the resort. On Friday, the found skier was transported out of the area via helicopter and seen by Emergency Health Services. He was transported to the hospital as a precaution, according to the police report that noted he was believed to be in good health.

Provincial Audit reveals $250,000 missing in Saanich soccer club’s coffers By Kyle Slavin Victoria News

A long-running Saanich soccer club is looking for answers – and a lot of missing money – after deter-

mining upwards of $250,000 is missing. Andrew WynnWilliams, an executive member with the Gorge Soccer Association, says the

organization’s executive committee last week initiated a forensic audit of its finances after finding out earlier this month their bank account was

St. Michael’s Catholic School hosted their

third annual Giving Tree Gala Event fundraiser before Christmas, with over 150 community members in attendance. The elegant dinner was catered by the Riverbelle, with dance music by Renegade and a Silent Auction. The school is deeply touched by the support they received from the community and greater Trail areas through corporate and individual sponsorship. It was a wonderful evening with all proceeds raised going towards the Student Experience Fund. St. Michael’s School is an Independent School operated by the Nelson Diocese and, as proven the night of the Gala, a staple of the history and legacy of Trail. We, as a staff, are thankful to the many former students and all other community members in attendance for their much valued and wholly appreciated support as we look forward to the event once again for next year.

empty. “That was not what we were expecting to see,” he said. “We were expecting $35,000. A lot of that was earmarked for debt repayment and some upkeep to our buildings.” A further look at their bank records determined the organization can’t find up to a quarter million dollars in the last five years. Until January, longtime president Terry Marra had been the only person in the organization dealing with finances for the previous three years. When the executive committee learned that creditors weren’t

being paid on time, they appointed a new treasurer and asked Marra to turn over all financial records. “It was one of those thing where we felt that we wanted to keep better track of where our money was. It’s not like the creditors were owed enormous sums of money, so we said, ‘Let’s get on top of this, let’s tighten it up,’” Wynn-Williams said. Marra, 55, died suddenly on Feb. 7, 2014 before the records were turned over. Vancouver Island Regional Coroner Matt Brown says his office is still investigating the cause and manner of

Marra’s death. It wasn’t until the executive committee subsequently had the bank transfer signing authority to someone else that the extent of the soccer club’s financial problems came to light. The executive immediately contacted the Saanich Police Department, which briefly looked into the matter. “Very shortly after the complaint was received it was determined the individual of interest was no longer alive,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “(The soccer association was) advised that the matter appeared to be civil in

New law saves lives

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - British Columbia’s Liberal government believes 190 lives have been saved since controversial new impaired driving rules were introduced three years ago. Attorney General Suzanne Anton says drinking and driving deaths have declined 52 per cent since September 2010, when police officers were given powers to issue immediate roadside suspensions for suspected impaired drivers. Anton says that since the law was introduced, impaired driving deaths have decreased to an average of 54 a year from a five-year average of 112 deaths. She acknowledges the law is facing a constitutional challenge, but Anton says the government has no plans to make changes to the overall thrust of the legislation. Under the rules, drivers who fail or refuse a roadside screening test can be fined, have their licence suspended, or their vehicle seized. Part of the law was struck down as a violation of constitutional rights in November 2011.

NDP, Liberals call for hearings on changes to Elections Act

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - New Democrats are accusing the governing Conservatives of trying to rig Canada’s election rules while clouding criticism of the proposed changes as just another battle in the Ottawa bubble. The NDP, backed by the Liberals, wants a House of Commons committee to hold hearings across the country on proposed changes to the Elections Act. NDP deputy leader David Christopherson has introduced a motion that would instruct the Conservativedominated committee to take the hearings on the road and complete them by May 1.

Christopherson says the government is resisting the idea because it wants to make the fight over election rules just another “battle in the bubble” that Canadians can easily tune out. Pierre Poilievre, the minister for democratic reform, spoke to the bill’s merits in the House but did not say why travelling committee hearings were a bad idea. Poilievre said the committee can invite testimony and put together a long list of what he called the best experts in the field. But Christopherson argues Canadians deserve to have a say on how their elections are conducted and

a Liberal MP who sits on the committee that will examine the legislation, called the way it was drafted “an absolute and total disgrace.” The legislative overhaul was scheduled to be introduced in Parliament last April but was pulled at the last minute after Conservative MPs pri-

vately objected to some of the proposed provisions. The bill finally tabled Feb. 4 effectively splits Elections Canada in two by putting its investigative powers in a separate office. While placing new restrictions on automated robocalls during campaigns, the bill does not give Elections

Grizzly hunt isn’t going away soon

little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rainsoaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt. It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year. The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environment groups

Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching. The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down. Wildlife management is the responsibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C. Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to

be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry. Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly. Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunt-

ing licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013. Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said. Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters. The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population. Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject

to intensive management including relocation of animals. The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head. They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

President Barack Obama can tell Putin that Ukraine is not a square on a Cold War chessboard, but the Russian president does see it as a zero-sum game, and in terms of his own purposes he is right. His pet project to restore the Soviet Union in a non-Communist version by creating a “Eurasian Union”, for example, dwindles to nothing but Russia and a bunch of Central Asian dictatorships if Ukraine isn’t a part of it. More importantly, Putin does not want to have a large, prosperous and democratic country with strong EU ties on Russia’s own border. Especially if it is another Slavic country that also used to be part of the Soviet Union, and it got its democracy as the result of a largely non-violent revolution carried out in the main square of the capital city. The example would be very dangerous to his regime. There’s no risk of that sort of thing happening on Red Square in Moscow at the moment, but Putin thinks long term. Russia will therefore continue to meddle in Ukraine in an attempt to abort such a dangerous outcome Confronting Moscow directly over this sort of thing would be a mistake, and could lead us all down the path that ends in a new Cold War. Russians, for historical reasons, do not see themselves as “outsiders” in Ukraine (although most Ukrainians do), and they will react very badly to attempts to exclude them entirely. The better and safer path is to support the Ukrainians with trade and aid, but leave it to them to deal with Russian interference in their politics. They are perfectly capable of doing this for themselves, and they can also prosper without joining either the European Union or NATO. But they do need a whopping great loan, right now.

B.C. favours Senate reform: poll

VANCOUVER - British Columbians express a preference for the abolition or reform of the Canadian Senate, and show little affinity towards the country’s upper chamber, a new poll by Insights West has found. In the online survey of a representative provincial sample, more than two-thirds of BC residents say they are in favour of either abolishing the Senate of Canada altogether (35 per cent) or reforming the upper house to allow Canadians to elect their senators (32 per cent). Only 14 per cent of British Columbians would consent to the creation of a selection com-

mittee that would appoint nonpartisan senators, and just two per cent would leave the Senate as it is, with members appointed by the Prime Minister. When gauging their options to deal with the upper house, men clearly choose abolition (41 per cent, compared to 32 per cent for electoral reform), while women are slightly more likely to favour reform (33 per cent, compared to 29 per cent for abolition). British Columbians aged 35-to-54 are evenly split in their assessment of the Senate’s future. Residents aged 18-to34 would rather have an elected upper house (33 per cent),

while those aged 55 and over are more supportive of abolition (44 per cent). Across British Columbia, only 17 per cent of residents correctly answered that British Columbia is allocated six seats in the Senate of Canada, and just 25 per cent were able to write the name of at least one current BC senator when prompted. “Only one-in-four residents are capable of naming at least one senator, with most mentions focusing on former Vancouver Mayor and Paul Martin appointee, Larry Campbell,” says Mario Canseco, vice president, Insights West.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - Harold Ramis, the bespectacled “Ghostbusters” sidekick to Bill Murray whose early grounding in live comedy led to blockbuster movies such as “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” “Caddyshack” and “Groundhog Day,” died Monday. He was 69. Ramis, who suffered for several years from an autoimmune disease that caused inflammaTuesday tion and damage to his blood vessels, died at his home in the Chicago suburbs, surrounded by pop movie popcorn family and friends, his talent agency said. ticket Perhaps his greatest legacy is his influence on generations of comedians, actors and directors Tuesdays due to his ability to infuse comedy with a broadare so er, sometimes spiritual message, said Andrew Alexander, president and CEO of The Second City. Ramis got his start with the Chicagobased improvisational comedy theatre, along with future co-stars Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi and Murray. “There was always a nuanced meaning to his pictures,” Alexander said, including an “almost Buddhist philosophy to ‘Groundhog Day”’ - a movie Ramis co-wrote and directed that tells the story of a man who re-lives the same day over Vampire and over as he examines his life. “He was a generous, nurturing, humble guy,” Academy Alexander added. Aykroyd issued a statement Monday, saying 7pm he was “deeply saddened to hear of the passing of nightly my brilliant, gifted, funny friend ... May he now get the answers he was always seeking.” Ramis joined The Second City in 1969, and in 1976 became head writer for the Canadian-based 1597 Bay Ave, Trail 24 Hour: 250-364-2114 comedy show Second City Television, or “SCTV.” www.royaltheatretrail.com His sprawling circle of Canuck cohorts during that seminal time 764 Rossland Ave included fellow comin the Gulch ics John Candy, Joe Eugene Levy 250.368.6611 Flaherty, and Catherine O’Hara, as well as musician Now serving the best mouth watering food Paul Shaffer. around from Chrissys Bitery restaurant… “Harold was the sweetest of men and Catering all events and office orders obviously among the just phone ahead and we will have it very most talented,” ready for you.

Smokies drop pair to division leaders Smokies host Vipers Wednesday, last home game on Friday By Jim Bailey

Beaver Valley Nitehawks forward Dan Holland tries to manoeuver in front of Nelson goalie Adam Maida. Holland would eventually score to tie the game, but the Leafs would go on to win 2-1 in overtime at the B.V. Arena on Saturday to capture the KIJHL Neil Murdoch division crown.

Leafs down Hawks, win division title By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks did everything right, but get the win against the Nelson Leafs Saturday night at the Hawks Nest. It all came down to the final game of the season and a packed Beaver Valley Arena was pulsating with anticipation; but in the end, the low-scoring, tight-checking game would be decided in overtime, with the Leafs surviving a 46-shot Nitehawk barrage for the 2-1 victory. With a 3-1 Hawks win over Spokane Braves on Friday, the Hawks and Leafs sat tied for first place in the Neil Murdoch division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), leaving the 52nd game of the season to decide the division champion. B.V. Coach Terry Jones has been in this situation before, and he recognized before the game what could transpire. “I think it’s important that we finish the weekend on a high note. Regardless of where we finish – we can play a great game and manage to lose . . . Hockey’s hockey, lots of things can happen and you never quite know.” Austin Seaman netted both Leafs’ goals, including the over-

time winner 33 seconds into the extra frame. With the score tied 1-1 and 32 seconds to play in regulation, the Nitehawks were called for delay of game after unintentionally sending the puck over the boards in their own end. The penalty would give the Leafs a man advantage entering overtime and Seaman capitalized on a 2-on-1 when he took a nice cross-ice pass from Robson Cramer, and fired it into the open side, beating the outstretched Hawks goalie Brett Clark. “It feels great to get two goals and get the division title,” Seaman told the Nelson Star’s Kevin Mills

after the game. “I was speechless, I couldn’t believe I did that. I owe it all to the team, they set me up for that.” Seaman opened the scoring on a funny power-play goal that somehow snuck in on Clark at 2:55 of the first period. Beaver Valley outshot the Leafs through two periods, 35-21, and it wasn’t for lack of scoring opportunities that foiled the Hawks, but a combination of bad luck, hit posts, and great goaltending from the Leafs Adam Maida. “You know, it was a great team win,” said the modest Maida. “There’s been kind of a dark cloud over this rink (the Hawks Nest) for a while but we pulled through and that’s all that matters now.” The Nitehawks had beaten the Leafs in three of their last four battles, but a stingy defence and hot goalie proved their undoing. “You know what, I have to give a lot of credit to my defencemen,” said Maida. “They really kept Beaver Valley to the perimeter of the rink and let me see the puck and make the stops I had to.” With his parents in attendance, Boston native Dan Holland would get the Hawks on the board on a power-play goal with 5:03 to go in the second period.

The Trail Smoke Eaters lost road games to the top two Interior division teams this weekend dropping a 4-2 decision to Penticton Vees on Friday before falling to the West Kelowna Warriors. In Saturday’s game West Kelowna grabbed a share of top spot in the BCHL Interior division with a 5-2 win over the Smoke Eaters. The win combined with Penticton’s 4-3 loss to the Vernon Vipers give the Warriors and Vees 74 points, however, Penticton has one more win, 36. With just two games remaining for both the Vees and Warriors, the team with most wins would take the title. David Pope scored twice to pace the Warriors attack, while Carl Hesler, Adam Osczevski and Reid Simmonds also scored for W.K. Former Smoke Eater Braden Pears, playing with a cage to protect a broken nose, chipped in with a pair of assists, and has counted five points since suffering the injury in a game against Vernon last week. “Just the way things are going, we’ve had a lot of injuries on the back end and I’ve had to tough through the broken nose,” Pears said on the Warriors website. “But there’s lots of ice time and I have to seize the opportunity. I’ve been playing good and getting lots of ice.” The broken beak has made breathing difficult, but Pears recognizes a lot of teammates are banged-up this time of year, and that the team’s main goal was to secure home ice for the first round of the playoffs. “We wanted home-ice advantage obviously to get the fans here in the home arena. That’s awesome - that’s what we were looking for.” Hesler netted what proved to be the winner as he beat Nikkel at 3:48 of the second

period, to give the Warriors its second win on the weekend. A pair of first period power play goals by Pope, and another by Trail’s Scotty Davidson kept the score close, 2-1 after one, despite the Warriors 21-11 advantage in shots. But three second-period goals by the Warriors put the game well out of reach for the Smokies. Basilico would get the other Trail goal at 14:50 of the third period to net him a four-point weekend along with Davidson who also assisted on the marker. Nikkel faced 42 Warrior shots while Andy Desautels blocked 25 for West Kelowna. Against Penticton Friday, the Smoke Eaters were up 2-0 heading into the final frame, but the Vees scored four unanswered third-period goals to roll to the victory. Davidson netted his 13th goal of the season on the power play taking a pass from Bryan Basilico and ripping it by Hunter Miska at 10:52 of the second. Two minutes later Davidson would set up Jesse Knowler to put the Smokies up by two. However goals by Brett Beauvais and Erik Benoit 20 seconds apart would tie it 2-2 at 3:36 of the third. Beauvais would also get the winner after Trail defenceman Nathan Browne was sent off for kneeing, The Bemiji State commit wired a Benoit pass by Trail starter Dustin Nikkel at 5:14 to make it 3-2. Beauvais leads all defencemen in league scoring and is second behind only Brad McLure on the Vees with 13-44-57. Cody DePourcq netted the insurance marker on another power play midway through the final period. Nikkel played well again on the night stopping 35 shots, including 20 in the final frame, while Miska stopped 25 Trail drives. Trail has three games remaining on the season, and will host the Vernon Vipers on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. and play the Warriors in a home-and-home starting on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

Hawks-Rebels Scoreboard in first round KIJHL

FROM PAGE 11 The Hawks pressed hard on the P.P. and after a flurry in front of Maida, the puck came out to the high slot and Holland corralled it and fired a bullet that somehow found its way through traffic and into the back of the net. The teams exchanged chances in the third, with both goalies making big saves to preserve the tie before Seaman would win it in the extra frame. Clark also played well in net for the Hawks, stopping 32 Nelson shots. As for the Leafs coach Frank Maida, he was pleased with his team’s performance, particularly in shutting down a vaunted Hawks’ attack. “We focused on team defence this week and, they put a lot of pressure on us. We battled and gave them a lot of shots from the outside

and took away all their second opportunities,” he said. Nelson and Beaver Valley have a long history and the victory was sweet for the Leafs, not just because of the division title, but because it took place in the Nitehawks rink. “It’s always a tough building coming here and we have a great rivalry with Beaver Valley, they are a great hockey team,” said Maida. B.V. will now face Castlegar who secured third spot in the division after beating Grand Forks on Friday 5-3. The win lifted them a point ahead of Spokane, who will now face the Leafs on Tuesday in Nelson. Beaver Valley opens the playoffs on Wednesday at the Hawks Nest against the Rebels at 7 p.m. and again at the same time on Thursday before going to Castlegar.
