There’s a new illicit drug circulating in the community that could cause major problems for opiate users. The drug is an illicit version of Fentanyl, a strong painkiller, that is being sold as the drug Oxy-

contin. The problem, said Dean Nicholson, from East Kootenay Ad-diction Services Society, is that the dosages the drug comes in are high-ly variant, which is caus-ing users to overdose.

“We’ve had a fatal overdose in the last cou-ple of weeks and we’ve

had a number of over-doses in Cranbrook and other parts of the East Kootenay,” Nicholson said. “That’s not a typi-cal thing that we would see in our region.”

He said there has been an increase in opi-ate-type drug use in the past couple years all across North America.

Fentanyl is a power-ful painkiller that is used

in hospital settings. Nicholson said now drug dealers have found a way to manufacture an illicit form of the drug and it has found its way into the East Kootenay.

“The problem is that it’s much more power-ful,” he said, adding that since it’s being illicitly

manufactured, the dos-age is variable. “This is where we’re seeing peo-ple getting in trouble with overdoses, because they’re taking some-thing that they’re think-ing is one thing and what they’re getting is something more power-ful.”

Surveillance video is in police hands after an armed bank robbery oc-curred at the Salmo branch of Kootenay Sav-ings Credit Union just before closing Tuesday afternoon.

The Salmo RCMP detachment responded to a bank robbery alarm

from the Main Street branch of Kootenay Sav-ings Credit Union (KSCU) at approximate-ly 4:50 p.m. on Monday, confirmed Cpl. Debbie Postnikoff in a Tuesday news release.

Officers from Salmo, Nelson and Trail were called to the scene after a male suspect bran-dished a gun then fled

on foot with an undis-closed amount of cash.

The armed robber was not apprehended and no arrests have yet been made, said Post-nikoff.

No customers were in the bank during the heist and no one was injured.

However, the five KSCU employees were

shaken by the gun-wielding intruder, and spent the following morning debriefing with a professional trau-ma counsellor, con-firmed Dean Civitarese, the bank’s risk manage-ment manager.

“We do provide rob-bery training,” said Civi-tarese. “Our employees followed everything to a ‘T’ as they are trained to do, but we do ensure counselling after the fact.”

Employees were given the option of re-turning home post-counselling, but everyone was feeling okay, and the bank opened for ‘business as usual’ by noon, he added.

“We do have contin-ual monitoring by re-cording equipment,” Ci-vitarese confirmed.

Suspect at large after Salmo bank robbery

“And it is all part of the investigation now.”

The at-large male perpetrator donned a black mask with a hood pulled down over his face, however he is de-scribed as a 5’6” Cauca-sian and about 150 lbs,

dressed in black pants, and a new-looking pur-ple ski jacket.

The Salmo detach-ment is continuing to investigate the serious incident along with the RCMP forensic team from Nelson and the

Kootenay Boundary General Investigation Section.

Anyone with infor-mation is urged to con-tact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or the Salmo police at 250-357-2212.

townSman StaffCranbrook RCMP

are currently investigat-ing the wilful damage of 40 tires on eight 53-foot van trailers owned by a local trucking compa-ny.  All eight tires on the five  trailers were  dam-aged beyond re-pair.    The incidents oc-curred between Feb 14 and 17  on    Industrial Road #1 in Cran-brook.   The estimated cost of the damage is over $16,000.

Police believe this was a targeted incident as numerous other trucks and trailers in the area were untouched.  Anyone having any in-formation into this act of vandalism is asked to contact the Cranbrook RCMP (250-489-3471)  or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222- TIPS.

Police responded to armed robbery at Salmo branch of Kootenay Savings Credit Union Tuesday afternoon.

Canadian PreSSThe coroners service

has identified two men killed in separate inci-dents in B.C.’s backcoun-try on the weekend.

Twenty-seven-year-old Cale Jack was buried in a huge avalanche near Salmo on Sunday.

The Nelson resident was among a group of four people who went skiing in an area called the Twin Lakes, near the summit of Kootenay Pass.

A slide hit Jack and a female companion, who was seriously injured and transported to hos-pital after a dramatic res-cue. Jack was located but could not be resuscitat-ed.

In a separate incident near Pemberton, a snowboarder was found unconscious and could not be revived. He has been identified as Jona-than Unger, 29, of Whis-tler.

Unger was part of a

group that was skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling on a rural forestry road.

When he failed to meet up with another member of his group in the late afternoon, that person immediately began a search for him.

Unger was found in a tree well in an area with about a metre-and-a-half of fresh snow.

Attempts to resusci-tate him were unsuc-cessful. Tires slashed

Submit tedMembers of the Jaf-

fray and Baynes Lake Fire Departments were on the scene of a fire in Jaffray Tuesday after-noon.

Approximately 10 firefighters from the Baynes and Jaffray Fire Departments responded to the scene of a struc-

ture fire just after 1 p.m.“When we arrived,

we found a large work-shop completely en-gulfed in flames,” ex-plained Jaffray Baynes Lake Fire Chief Dave Boreen. “This was a real-ly fast moving fire and our efforts focused on protecting the nearby garage and RV trailer to

prevent further losses.” The fire was con-

tained to the workshop, which is a total loss. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

“The crew did a great job (Tuesday) and their efforts helped prevent this fire from having a much larger impact,” added Boreen.

Swift response by crews contains Jaffray blaze

Submitted

Members of the Jaffray and Baynes Lake fire departments were on the scene of a fire in Jaffray Tuesday afternoon.

They’ve also found that the withdrawal is also more uncomfort-able.

“People that we’ve had come in for with-drawal programs have really struggled to go through the withdrawal and are more likely to go out and start using again,” he said.

The other thing that they are concerned about is back in October they became involved in a pilot program run by the B.C. Centre for Dis-ease Control that looks

at using Naloxone in a sort of overdose preven-tion kit.

“Naloxone is a drug that’s been used for many years as an anti-dote to opiate over-dose,” he said. “The program is to try to get Naloxone kits into the hands of people who are opiate drug users so that if somebody goes into an overdose they have a kit to bring them back out while they wait for 911.”

He said it is in a way the equivalent of some-

one who is allergic to bee stings having an epi-pen.

Overdoses can be hard to reverse and may require more Naloxone than in a normal kit, he said.

He said Fentanyl has only really been show-ing up in parts of B.C. and Nova Scotia.

It is likely being man-ufactured in Alberta. It is sold as a greenish tab-let that may be stamped with ‘80’ and ‘CDN.’ It can be called ‘Greenies,’ Green Jellies,’ ‘Street Oxy’ and ‘Fake 80s.’

Fentanyl a growing concern in the region

Continued from page 1

Earlier this month, the Re-gional District of East Kootenay board of directors supported the application for non-farm use of the property, but the ulti-mate decision lies with the Agri-cultural Land Commission.

The retreat is a project of the Haven of Hope Society, a Chris-tian non-profit made up of long-time friends who share the vision for a place for “whoever needs a haven of hope, a place to recuperate and rest,” said project developer Ellen Mac-Bean.

The property was previously part of John MacLeod’s ranch, but hasn’t been used as a ranch for many years.

MacBean said Haven of Hope purchased the property in April 2013 after a province-wide search for the right place.

The journey started when MacBean was 11 and read a book about Florence Nightin-gale.

“I remember thinking, that is what I want to do with my life. It affected me profoundly. I re-member reading it and knowing

that was my destiny,” she said.MacBean went on to become

a physiotherapist and a hospital chaplain, before she and her husband began work with a prison ministry, matching in-mates to caring people on the outside to form lasting friend-ships. Later, the couple worked in forensic psychiatric insti-tutes, and built halfway homes.

“Haven of Hope is a culmi-nation of having worked with sick and dying people, the men-tally ill, the mentally handi-capped, inmates, and being around people in all of their suffering and all of the joy that can also be found in the midst of suffering. That has birthed the desire for a place like this,” said MacBean.

Two years ago, MacBean and her family began searching the province for a location.

“We looked at houses all the way from Vancouver Island to the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan. When we came to Cranbrook, we just knew this was where we were meant to be. And we have not been disap-

pointed, we just love it,” she said.

A year later, the society pur-chased the property in Fort Steele and began to dream about its future.

They are setting up bee hives on the property and leaving the flood plain to nature so that wildflowers will grow for the bees.

The property will be criss-crossed by walking trails, lead-ing to a chapel built on a hill overlooking the rivers and Fish-er Peak. A lake on the property will be used for swimming and kayaking.

“This is very much a place of refuge, if you need time to heal or be still, time to regroup, time to think about your life. It’s a place to come and walk and be quiet and listen,” said MacBean.

“For most people in life, they are distracted. This is a place to stop all that noise and just come and be still.”

Plans for the retreat centre are still being determined. In the meantime, the society waits for word from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Retreat proposed for former Ft. Steele ranch

Haven of Hope — a proposed Christian retreat centre — would be built near a small lake just off the St. Mary River near Fort Steele.

townSman StaffThe City of Cranbrook is

seeking input in its recently pro-posed Five Year Financial Plan for 2014 to 2018.

The average general munici-pal property tax increase (ex-cluding school and other non-city taxes) for taxpayers is pro-jected to be about 3.37 per cent or about $23.80 per $100,000 of assessed value for residential property unless City Council chooses to change the distribu-tion of property taxes. The one per cent dedicated Road Im-provement Tax equates to about $7.07 per $100,000 of assessed value for residential property in 2014. The combined 2014 Gen-

eral Municipal Property Tax in-crease is 4.37 per cent or $30.87 per $100,000 of assessed value.

“Council needs to hear your views on the budget and the proposed increase to property taxes, particularly if you have ideas on how the City can re-duce costs or raise revenues,” Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski said.

Influencing the 4.37 per cent tax increase for 2014 are several factors, including the one per cent dedicated Road Improve-ment Tax, the three quarter per cent contribution to the Recapi-talization Reserve, a 3.5 per cent increase in the RCMP contract, negotiated staff wage increases,

and increased costs to materials and outside contractors.

For a home in Cranbrook with an assessed value of $300,000, the projected 2014 General Municipal Property Taxes will be about $2,212 be-fore the Home Owner Grant (or $6.06/day) for all municipal ser-vices.

For an average home in Cranbrook, the projected 2014 utility and parcel tax fee will be about $876 (or $2.40/day).

The Canadian Muse-um of Rail Travel will be doing its first Dinner Theatre later in March, as well as having some fun Pro-D Day activities for students on their day off.

Damon Colgan, ex-ecutive director of the museum, said the din-ner theatre is about bringing in more fami-lies.

The dinner theatre is called ‘The Belle of the Ball.’

“We will have a din-ner and we’re working with some local actors and so they are going to be doing the story of Beauty and the Beast,” Colgan said.

It will run March 29, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30

p.m. It’s $15 per person. “It’s just kind of a fun

event and we will have some raffles going off re-lated to Beauty and the Beast as well,” he said.

The idea for the din-ner theatre’s theme came from the entrance music at the museum.

“We have this classic music playing, and I would think to myself, ‘That music makes me think of something,’ and it made me think of Beauty and the Beast,” he said. “It’s in the Royal Alexandra Hall — a real-ly glamorous room.”

He thought some-thing related to Beauty and the Beast would work great in that ele-gant and beautiful room. Then he went and talked to some of the local ac-tors to see if they would

Christine niCholThe judges of the

Kootenay Literary Com-petition (KLC) have cho-sen the winners of this year’s competition from among entries from across the East and West Kootenays.

Writers submitted work in the fiction, non-fiction and poetry categories, and cash prizes will be awarded for the best work, plus publication in the KLC

Anthology. The winners will be

notified on March 7, and receive their prizes at the Literary Gala cele-bration on Friday March 14, 6:30 p.m. at the Pres-tige Hotel in Nelson.

Angie Abdou of Fern-ie will be the special guest speaker. Her book “The Bone Cage” was a competitor in Canada Reads in 2011, and her second novel “The Can-

terbury Trail” was a fi-nalist for Banff Moun-tain Book of the Year 2011.

The competition has received strong support from the community, including sponsorship from Kootenay Lake Tourism, the Kootenay Co-op and many oth-ers, plus the work of the organization’s volun-teers.

The goal of the Com-mittee is to promote cre-ative writing across the region, through the competition and also through investing in de-veloping the talents of young writers.

Tickets for the gala are available at the door, with a suggested dona-tion of $5. The 2014 an-thology Refuge, will be available at the event for $7.

C AROLYN GR ANTAfter all the argu-

ments over what to do with the Marysville Arena in the past few weeks, Council has okayed the order of the new ice plant.

Startec Refrigeration, which has done work in Kimberley before, was awarded the contract to supply and install the ice plant for a total of $289,860.15. The tender was actually put out last summer when the arena issue first came to the fore. There were four bids and all bidders agreed to keep their prices until Council made a decision on the arena.

Startec was the low-est bid by a considerable amount.

Councillors Darryl Oakley and Don McCor-mick, both of whom had opposed going ahead with the ice plant up-grade voted against the motion to accept the bid and order the plant.

“As was made obvi-ous last Council meet-ing I am opposed to this without a service re-view, so I am voting against it,” Oakley said.

With the ice plant or-dered, the arena should be ready for ice in Octo-ber, 2014.

PAGE 6 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2014

It’s time to catch up on all the latest news in politics, readers. And it’s been a busy time.

First for the most delicious news.Patrick Brazeau, dis-

graced Senator, is employed again. He took a job as man-ager of an Ottawa strip club this week. That’s right — from Conservative Senator to a slightly less conservative Bare Fax Gentleman’s Club manager.

You can’t make this stuff up, folks.Also a club employee told CBC News

that they didn’t figure Brazeau would be much of a draw because “people don’t come here to see the manager.” Hee hee.

After that news, anything else will be a bit of a letdown. But let’s have at it.

Apparently, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has decided to play ball with other big city mayors in Ottawa at the Mayors Caucus. He has previously disdained the mayoral meeting as a “Lefty caucus” and refused to attend. Now he has had a change of heart and is in Ottawa seeking funding for infra-structure. Montreal mayor Denis Coderre wished Ford would not attend, saying “it’s a caucus, not a circus.” Ford, being Ford, ignored that advice and is there. He held an impromptu news conference after re-

fusing to attend the mayors’ joint news conference. Do you ever get the feeling that little Robbie Ford’s report card might have read, “Robbie needs to work on shar-

ing and getting along with classmates”?

Also in the news this week was Justin Trudeau, who made a somewhat insensitive joke about the situation in the Ukraine and Russia’s involvement.

“It’s very worrying, es-pecially because Russia lost in hockey, they’ll be in a bad mood. We fear Russia’s involvement in Ukraine,” Trudeau said in an interview to a Montreal radio station. There was quite a storm over it and Trudeau had to apologize to Ukraine’s am-bassador. Naturally, the Conservatives were quick to condemn Trudeau’s com-ment, clutching their pearls in outrage.

As a scandal, does it have legs? Unlikely. While in this age of every word being re-corded, politicians must learn to weigh every word out of their mouths, it is also true that these momentary storms are quickly forgotten as the next politician to say something stupid is already stepping up to the microphone as we speak.

Speaking of politicians and stupidity, how about those state senators in Arizona?

They have passed a bill that would allow businesses to deny service to gay people based on the religious beliefs of the busi-ness owner. This prompted one restaurant owner to post a sign in his window stating he reserved the right not to serve Arizona State Senators.

Seriously, the bill is so ridiculous — such a step back for human rights — that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer —  whose politics are so far to the right they are al-most in line with Kim Jong Un or Vladimir Putin —  is threatening to veto it. I say threatening because apparently Gov. Brewer hasn’t completely made up her mind on that yet. However, it has become a national debate and Brewer will likely go along because it’s going to hit the state in the pocket book. Also because the Nation-al Football League has advised Brewer that such a law is not in compliance with “NFL values”. Phoenix, Arizona is hosting the Super Bowl next year. Even a hint of losing the Super Bowl is likely to hit the bill’s sup-porters right in the wallet. You can mess with minority rights all you want in Arizo-na, but don’t mess with football.

So ends another week in politics — the theatre of the absurd.

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook

Museum and Archives1900

North Star Shipping Ore … Frank Rob-bins, managing engineer of the North Star Mine, and Neil McLeod Curran, financial agent, left last Monday for Trail, to arrange for the treatment of North Star ore. The railroad has been completed to the tram-way, and last Saturday two carloads of ore were shipped to Cranbrook and on to Great Falls. This is the first ore shipped over the North Star branch, and it was most appropriate that it should come from the North Star Mine. The tramway is now in working order, and everything is ready for regular shipments. And within a few months, when the results of the shipments become known, the North Star Mine will jump into prominence as one of the best lead mines the country has ever known. The management of this property have had little or nothing to say, but month after month have invested thousands of dollars in machinery and legitimate devel-opment. Under the direction of Superin-tendent Parker the workings have been enlarged and the development carried forward in an intelligent manner, until now the mine is in a condition to show by daily shipments what a wonderful proper-ty it is.

From The Soldiers … W. N. Clark writes of life at the barracks in Ottawa. “At last we are settled down to barrack life, and most of the boys are getting used to it, although at first they found it difficult to accustom themselves to its restrictions. The men are very comfortably quartered in the cattle sheds where two tiers of bunks are arranged on either side, upper and lower. Some of the boys have become great ladies’ men since they got down here, especially Harry Melton. It is becom-ing quite the by-word now, “Have you got Melton’s address?” I think he gave it to everyone he met between Cranbrook and Ottawa. Evenings and Sundays we are be-sieged by curious sightseers, especially ladies, who are exceedingly eager to see the ‘wild men from the woolly west.’ We are getting excellent board – no delicacies but good, substantial fare. Uniforms is-sued this week, horses not here yet. We have all had our final medical examina-tion and I think we have all passed suc-cessfully.”

A successful dance … The dance at the Cosmopolitan Tuesday evening was a most successful affair. There was a large crowd present, many coming from Kim-berley, Moyie and Fort Steele. The music was fine, and those present had a most enjoyable time. One of the amusing fea-tures of the evening was the cake walk, presented by the irrepressible Pieper and inimitable Pushee, and the gyrations, gymnastics and graceful evolutions of these two devotees of the Terpsichore convulsed people with laughter. Mr. Small, the proprietor, was complimented by all on the success of the event.

Mr. And Mrs. Baker at Home … Mr. V. Hyde Baker and bride returned home last Sunday morning, having stopped several days at Montreal on their way from En-gland. Mr. Baker, after an absence of sev-eral months, was pleased to see the great growth that had taken place in Cranbrook during that time. He said that he knew by reports that the town was making most commendable progress, but he had not expected to find such an improvement as he did.

Evidence of Rapid Growth ... Father Ouellette, in speaking of the growth of the Catholic Church in this city, said the other day that the population of Cranbrook was increasing so rapidly that it would be nec-essary to enlarge the church in the spring. When the building was put up last fall they thought it entirely too large, but now it will not accommodate their congregations.

1901Waves of Water and Enthusiasm …

The ladies put up a fine game and the men went out after blood. There was fun at the rink last night and a good-sized crowd to enjoy it. The two games billed for the eve-ning proved a great drawing card, and from start to finish it was an enthusiastic and jolly gathering. No little interest was centred in the ladies’ match, but the big event of the evening was, of course, the contest between the star skaters of the town, the Bloomers and the Hobos. The ladies played a most interesting game and demonstrated the fact that in the number there were some most excellent hockey players. The game was hotly contested and won by a score of 4 to 2 in favour of the Shamrocks. The Bloomers and Hobos, when they came onto the ice, elicited round after round of applause from en-thusiastic friends. Everything went off

nicely, except some differences that arose between the individual players. Baldy Morris and Bob Gunn got into a dispute as to who appeared the most graceful, which was settled by Beattie telling both of the gentlemen that Gurd and Rankin were entitled to the palm. This was no more than over when Peltier kicked because Rajotte wanted to play the game in French. The matter was referred to Fred Pieper, who said “auber nicht.” Of course these were just little incidents of the game, and were satisfactorily adjusted. The costumes were attractive and dainty, and were all designed in Moyelle. The score stood, Bloomers 4, Hobos 3.

Broke Her Wrist … Last Sunday a party of Cranbrook people drove out to the Mis-sion. The hills were covered with ice, and it was thought best to have the ladies in the rig get out and walk. During their progress down the hill, Mrs. H. McVittie slipped and fell, striking on her face and left wrist. As a result she received several bad bruises, and the bones of her wrist were fractured. She was brought home as soon as possible, and Dr. King called, who attended to the injury, and now she is doing as well as might be expected under the circumstances.

1902Marvellous Marysville … Just three

months old is Marvellous Marysville. If one is to look back over the past twelve weeks one is forced to the conclusion that it has been a season of activity seldom if ever witnessed in a new town either in the west or anywhere else, in the winter months. The smelter site had been felled before the ground was blanketed with snow. But still in spite of the inclemency of the weather work has never been stopped during the winter for a single hour except for half a day at Christmas. Marvellous Marysville, did ever a town deserve the name more?

First Chinese Death … One of the many Chinamen of Cranbrook died Mon-day at St. Eugene hospital of tuberculosis. The funeral is being held this afternoon, and as it is the first Chinaman who has died in Cranbrook, the event is an import-ant one to the local Celestials.

New Record … Messrs. Hawke, Breton and Neiderstadt made a record this week for themselves when they loaded 142 tons of ice on cars in nine hours.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Letters to the editorKimberley Land swap

Apparently it’s a done swap. It’s certain-ly not a done deal, in “deal’s” usual sense of “bargain”.

The City of Kimberley gets a property that has no current market value — it has been on the market for years. No one wants to buy it because remediation costs will almost certainly run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The industry average for gas station remediation is in the $200-$500,000 range.

Two Oaks Holdings gets a lot on Alpine Crescent with market value — ask your local realtor for their best estimate.

Council has the power to determine

which eyesore is the worst, and which needs immediate attention, but should they be bailing out property owners whose property investments have gone bad?

I’m good, in fact enthusiastic, about Council trying to do something about eye-sores, and I’d be happy if Council were taking this property off Two Oaks hands for a dollar or two, and assuming responsibil-ity for required remediation in the future. Better that than waiting years for Two Oaks to realize it’s worthless to them, stop pay-ing taxes and finally have the City end up with it anyway.

Council, with the swap done, will have four options: demolish the building and put a fence around the property, turn it

into a parking lot or mini park, or apply for a grant to do remediation work and sell or use the property for whatever. All of these options will cost money, the only one with a possible cash profit relys on a successful grant application and securing a post re-mediation buyer.

So the swap is, as the Mayor points out, not a cash sale, but it does involve cash outlays. I remain curious as to who is pay-ing closing costs.

Have a chat with one or more of your council members. Maybe ask them to make sure this isn’t a precedent?

Better late than never.

That seemed to be the theme for a 5-1 win by the Kootenay Ice over the Moose Jaw Warriors in Saskatche-wan on Wednesday night.

Tied up at 1-1, the Ice scored four third pe-riod goals in the last 10 minutes of the game on the road to victory.

Sam Reinhart and Tim Bozon both scored a pair of goals, while Jaedon Descheneau tal-lied a single marker to provide the offence for the Ice. Jesse Forsberg was the lone goal-scor-er for the Warriors.

Kootenay outshot Moose Jaw in all three

periods with a final tally of 42-23. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 22 saves for the win, while Zach Saw-chenko made 37 stops in defeat.

“The shot advantage was significant,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill, “but at the same time, we weren’t gener-ating a lot of offence, because we were mak-ing plays and then we’d give the puck up, so we did a better job of that in the second half of the third period.”

Six minutes into the game, Reinhart put the Ice up on the board, cutting out of the cor-ner and into the slot to roof a shot over Saw-chenko’s glove.

The Warriors struck

back in the second pe-riod, when Jesse Fors-berg threw the puck on net from the point, scoring on a delayed penalty with six Moose Jaw attackers on the ice.

“They’re a hard working team and they didn’t waver from their work ethic,” said Mc-Gill. “They worked hard, I thought we didn’t manage the puck very well in the second half of the second peri-od and the first half of the third period.

“Once we started to manage the puck better, we started to get oppor-tunities and therefore, we scored some goals.”

The two teams kept it even going into the final period, until the floodgates opened,

courtesy of Reinhart. Bozon scored 29 sec-

onds later, slapping a shot past Sawchenko after a back and forth play with defenceman Tyler King.

Bozon followed up with a powerplay goal less than two minutes later, and Descheneau added his 39th goal of the season within the final 90 seconds of the game.

While the Ice picked up the win, they also did it with a short bench, dressing only 17 players. They survived a scare when Zach Fran-ko was hit into the net in the second period and headed to the dressing room, but he was able to come back out for the final frame.

McGill said, without naming names, that he’s hoping to get at least one, and maybe two players off the inju-ry list into Friday’s game.

According to the Ice injury update released on Monday, Landon Cross and Levi Cable are both day-to-day with lower body inju-ries. Kyle O’Connor is expected to be out a

week with a lower body injury, while Jon Martin is dealing with an ill-ness and and is still a week or two from re-turning to action. Ryan Chynoweth is also deal-ing with an upper body injury and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.

Despite dealing with the injury bug, McGill says that’s no excuse to take the foot off the gas.

“We just got to keep waiting for guys to get healthy and hopefully guys can stay healthy,” he said. “Nothing we can do about this situa-tion right now, so we just got to play hard through it.”

The Ice are still in fifth place in the Cen-tral Division, five points

behind the Medicine Hat Tigers in fourth place. The Tigers aren’t making life easy for the Ice, beating the Ed-monton Oil Kings on Wednesday to keep their five-point cush-ion.

The Ice contine their Saskatchewan sojourn with a game against the Saskatoon Blades on Friday and a meeting with the Prince Albert Raiders on Saturday.

NOTES: Hitting the scoresheet for two goals and an assist, Reinhart has tied a franchise re-cord with a 21-game point streak, previously set by Mike Comrie in 2000. With the apple, he also extended his fran-chise setting as-sist-streak to 14 games.

Nitros vsFernie Ghostriders

at Kimberley Civic Centre

HHHOOOOOOOOCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY!

Playoff Game #3

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Two down, two to go.The Kimberley Dynamiters

dropped the Ghostriders 5-2 in Game 2 of the KIJHL playoffs in Fernie on Wednesday, one night after defeating their opponents by the same score on home soil.

Tyler Garcia scored twice for the Nitros, while Brandon Becker, Tristan Pagura and Tyson Klingspohn added goals for Kimberley. Dylan Robertson and Spencer Bender answered back for the Riders.

Jeremy Mousseau picked up the win, making 30 saves for the win, while Phoenix Logan-Hill stopped 20 shots in defeat.

Both teams were given five power-play opportunities; the Nitros scored once, while shutting out the Riders on all their chances with the man-advan-tage.

Just like Tuesday night in Kimber-ley, the win came off a surge of goals in the third period.

Garcia opened the scoring with a powerplay goal just over five minutes into the first period, but Robertson

tied it up for Fernie a few minutes later.

Becker took the lead early in the second period, however, Bender scored less than two minutes later to knot up the affair.

Garcia broke the tie 10 minutes into the third period, and Pagura added some insurance not long after. Klingspohn tallied a shorthanded empty-netter with 13 seconds left on the clock.

The series returns to Kimberley on Friday night for Game Three.

The Nitros suffered a blow to their forward ranks on Tuesday, when the league handed down a three-game suspension to forward Eric Buckley for a five-minute major and game misconduct on a goaltender interfer-ence penalty he took on Tuesday night in Kimberley.

Dynamiters captain Darren Martin is also out of the lineup, along with Rider forward Aidan Geiger, both of whom were given a three game sus-pension for a staged fight in the final.

Martin and Geiger will be eligible to return for Game 4 of the series in Fernie on Saturday night.

Dynamiters rally in third period to dump Riders 5-2

Cranbrook archers’ aims were true over the weekend as they took to the BC Winter Games competition in Mission B.C.

Coach Elaine John-son said the athletes showed the rest of the province what the Koo-tenays are made of at the event. The Cran-brook Archery Club rep-resented Zone 1 Koote-nay at the Games. All of the archer’s list Cran-brook as their home.

Jordan Adachi re-ceived a silver in 2-day aggregate boys com-pound, silver in elimi-nation boys compound.

Duncan Van der

Roest earned a silver in 2-day aggregate boys compound, bronze in elimination boys bare bow.

Katrina Romanowicz got a silver in 2-day ag-gregate girls compound and a silver in elimina-tion girls compound.

Jason Dekkers got a bronze in 2-day aggre-gate boys compound, bronze in elimination boys compound.

And Johnson said that although Jessica Krewenchuk didn’t medal, she shot some of the best scores she’s shot in a month.

“She was there for her team mates and shot her heart out,” Johnson said.

Stephen ames named into Canadian golf Hall of Fame

DAn r AlPhCanadian Press

He’s a Hall of Famer now, but Stephen Ames isn’t ready to give up playing golf just yet.

Ames was unani-mously named for in-duction into the Cana-dian Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday, becom-ing the 74th member of the country’s golf ’s shrine. And with Ames poised to celebrate his 50th birthday in April, the Calgary resident is planning to play events on both the PGA and Champions Tours in 2014.

“Usually you think Hall of Famers are in-ducted when they’re finished playing,” Ames said during a confer-ence call from West Palm Beach, Fla. “I still see myself as a player right now.

“It’s a great honour, for sure, without a doubt.”

Ames’ induction ceremony is expected to be in Calgary in Au-gust during the Shaw

Charity Classic, a Champions Tour event that Ames is a founding patron of.

“The Canadian Golf Hall of Fame seeks to recognize excellence as golfers, contributors and supporters of the game,” said Ian Clarke, the chairman of the Ca-nadian Golf Hall of Fame’s selection com-mittee. “Stephen Ames has excelled on the big-gest stage in our sport and it is fitting that he will be recognized for his respective accom-plishments.”

After attending Lynn University, Ames turned pro in 1987. A dual citizen of Canada and Trinidad and To-bago, Ames has record-ed 11 career wins. Four have come on the PGA Tour, where he has earned over US$19.5 million.

Ames continues to put together his 2014 tournament schedule, adding he has exemp-tion status on the PGA Tour this season.

I want to take this op-portunity to send a very sincere thank

you to each and every person and business that recognized my thir-ty years with the Cham-ber. We’ve watched some very creative ads from Canadian Tire during the Olympics saying, “We all play for Canada”, well, I can honestly say I’ve had the best time, playing for Cranbrook! When you love what you do, time flies by quickly. I’ve met some amazing people, worked with the doers of the community, been part of some of the most exciting events, and daily am surround-ed by the best of the best. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to serve this community

– my job is not quite finished.

During Chamber of Commerce Week, we hosted a meeting of the Kootenay Chambers. We discussed challeng-es facing each Chamber and then shared in some of the best practices that each Chamber is involved with. Mem-bership and economic development seemed to be on everyone’s list. The relevance of mem-bership, networking op-portunities, advocacy on behalf of Chamber members, membership growth and engage-ment, labour shortage, and mobile business li-cences were discussed. This was an initiative of President Dave Butler and those in attendance welcomed the opportu-

nity to meet again in the fall.

Chamber members had the opportunity to hear from David Walls, Pres-ident and Chief Execu-tive Officer, College of the Rockies. This was Mr. Walls first presenta-tion to the business community and we thank him for sharing his time with our lun-cheon guests. It was a good reminder of the tremendous asset that the College is to the City and the economic generator it is to Cran-brook. Mr. Walls was also available to answer questions from those in attendance.

The lucky people who won prizes at the Cham-bers Open House in-cluded:

• Vera Frey the Live Smart Package, do-nated by Marilyn Christensen

• Dr. Michael Rosseg-nal won the Destroy-er Kiss Tribute tick-ets donated by KLB Engineering Ltd.

• Jason Wheeldon was the winner of the Gift Pack from Da-roux Law

• Susan Belzac won

the Golf Stay and Play Package donat-ed by St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casi-no

• E-Know won the free Chamber Mem-bership for a year while Black Door was the non-member who won the free Chamber member-ship

Our March monthly General Luncheon will be held in conjunction with the Career and Job Fair at the College of the Rockies. The theme for the luncheon is Dis-covering Your Career Opportunities in the Kootenays. Keith Pow-ell will lead a panel dis-cussion. Participants in-clude: Daniel Tailor from Tech Coal; John Buda from Canfor; Hei-di Romich representing the Restaurant & Hos-pitality Industry and Greg Fisher from Top Crop representing the Retail Sector. Lun-cheon guests will no longer have to eat their lunch from their lap, COTR and the Chamber has arranged for tables for luncheon guests to sit at.

The Board of Directors

have been very active with the strategic priori-ties established at the annual strategy session

• Be more relevant to more businesses

• Advocate strategi-cally

• Promote economic development

Part of what the mem-bership committee want to do is to: increase membership to 500 thus being more relevant to more businesses, they want to develop feed-b a c k m e c h a n i s m s through the year for Chamber benefits, en-gage specific sector businesses to get a bet-ter understanding of business needs and how the Chamber can meet those needs.

I t was iden t i f i ed through our member-ship Survey in Decem-ber that networking was one of the most impor-tant membership bene-fits. My question for this month is “what does networking look like to you”? I would appreciate hearing from our Chamber members. Call me at 250 426 5914.

The eighth annual Col-lege of the Rockies Ca-reer and Job Fair is bound to be a busy place, with dozens of companies and associa-

tions along with hun-dreds of attendees.

Last year saw a particu-larly successful event, with an increase in at-tendees in 2013 over previous years. Koote-nay Business looks for-ward to partnering with

the College of the Rockies (COTR) to bring another year full of networking and op-portunity.

“It’s a tremendous part-

nership,” said Hugh Moore, a recruitment officer at COTR, “the fact that the chamber, COTR and  Kootenay Business magazine can work together to put on this event, and have it grow every year. We’re

able to attract industry, employers and people from the community who are looking for work, and to have it big-ger and better every

year is a remarkable thing.”

The 2014 event will, again, see a chamber lunch hosted on site at COTR starting at 11:45 a.m. before the career fair commences. This year,  Kootenay Busi-

ness  publisher Keith Powell will be moderat-ing a panel discussion with some of the major employers from the East Kootenay. Partici-

pants will include Dan-iel Tailor of Teck Coal a n d J o h n B u d a with Canfor. The local retail and restaurant in-dustries will be repre-sented by Greg Fisher, who is the owner of Top Crop Garden Farm &

Pet, and Heidi Romich, owner of the recently renovated and popular HeidOut Restaurant and Brewhouse in Cranbrook.

This year’s career and job fair will host over 30 representatives. In-dustries will include tourism, financial, min-ing and health care, as well as educational in-stitutions that will pro-vide information for

students. High schools from the surrounding area often bring stu-dents to the event. The Summer Job Alley, fea-turing recruiters that are actively accepting resu-més, is always popular.

“We’ve been hearing for years about how our students seem very en-gaged and how vibrant the event is,” said Moore.

Who:  Job seekers, stu-

dents and representa-tives.

What:  The College of the Rockies Career and Job Fair.

When: March 12, 2014, from 1 to 5 p.m.

Where: The gymnasium of COTR’s main Cran-brook campus.

Why: To give everyone the chance to discover opportunities.

As well as courses, did you know that Clear Sky offers facility rentals for busi-nesses and groups to host meetings or events? A short 40-minute drive from Cranbrook, we provide a comfortable and uplifting venue ideal for planning

and celebrations. With a view to the fu-ture, we offer tours of our innovative green building and 1-acre forest garden - the largest cold-climate food forest in Canada.

College of the Rock-ies is joining with six other post-secondary institutions across BC to get the word out that if you’re interested in working in a rewarding career alongside great people in a close-knit community—it’s good out here.

Where exactly is “here?” The group of seven British Columbia colleges  - College of the Rockies, College of New Caledonia, North Is-land College, Northern Lights College, North-west Community Col-lege, Okanagan College and Selkirk College - offer work in communi-ties that include small towns with only a few thousand people, up to large cities with popu-lations of over 80,000.

A few communities have fewer than 1000 permanent residents and are set in some of the most breathtaking locations in BC.

College of the Rock-ies Executive Director

of Human Resources and Payroll Sheila Mc-Donald notes, “It’s not unusual for people to move to one of the col-leges’ communities for a job opportunity and quickly realize they never want to leave. Be-tween the camaraderie offered in the working environment, the af-fordable real estate and the instant access to outdoor recreation, people truly connect with others and settle in.”

Job opportunities at the Regional Colleges of BC include careers in administration, fi-nance, health services, information technolo-gy, maintenance and senior leadership.

And then there are the obvious faculty and teaching roles, which are appealing because the small college set-tings enable employees to make strong connec-tions with their stu-dents and really make a difference in their lives.

“Most people know

that the outdoor recre-ation is spectacular ev-erywhere you go in BC,” adds Ken Crewe, Direc-tor of Human Resourc-es for North Island Col-lege. “But add in afford-able housing, vibrant communities and the chance to do work that has direct application in the community you’re living in and you’ve got a situation that has a lot of appeal for someone ready to leave the big city be-hind.”

The Regional Col-leges of BC expect that once the word gets out, it won’t be difficult to entice qualified candi-dates to their workplac-es.

“We know from our employees who have moved here from else-where that we offer great places to live and rewarding workplaces, but not enough people consider one of the Re-gional Colleges of BC as an employer of choice, especially outside of teaching faculty and

staff,” says Gary Leier, Director of Human Re-sources and Communi-ty Relations for Selkirk College. “The reality is that compared to the big city, it really is good

out here.”The Regional Col-

leges of BC is a group of public post-secondary institutions spanning the regions outside of the Greater Vancouver

area of British Colum-bia, Canada.

The colleges cover 43 communities across British Columbia. The employee recruitment brand and website is

the first large project this group has collabo-rated on.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An important get-together or meeting will define your mood, and therefore your plans, for the day. Unexpected developments might encourage you to be more spontaneous as well. You could have a lengthy conversa-tion with a dear friend. Tonight: Where the gang is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Know that all eyes are on you. As a result, people could get an in-direct lesson in how to approach the boss. Stay centered when dealing with an associate or close loved one who seems to be even colder than usual. Tonight: A must appearance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen to news with an open mind. Seek out more informa-tion by finding people who are more knowledgeable or experi-enced. Make an appointment for a checkup at the dentist in the near future. Tonight: Make plans to take a few days off. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Remain playful. A discussion with a partner will point to a dramatic shift in activity. You need variety in terms of focus and energy; otherwise, you could become bored and moodier because of a lack of excitement. Tonight: Opt for to-getherness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others will present unusual ideas that could force you to think past typical boundaries. Your sixth sense will come out when dealing with today’s is-sues. How you see a friend or loved one could change as the result of these intense discus-sions. Tonight: Sort through suggestions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have high energy working with your solid focus. Meetings right now will be important in paving your path to success. Someone will push you hard; this person feels as if his or her ideas are better. Avoid a fight or a difficult interaction, if possible. Tonight: Time to relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand

what is happening around you, yet you could find others to be evasive. Avoid getting angry with a loved one. Make a point to relax, and you will find the answers you’re looking for. Curb a tendency to be possessive. To-night: Play it light and easy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure seems to build around a family member or a domestic matter. Suppressing your irri-tation on a regular basis could backfire, as you are likely to make yourself sick or so angry that you won’t be able to speak in an effective manner. Tonight: Visit with a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be full of energy. A conversation could start up out of the blue, and you might hear a lot more than you are ready for. It would be wise to think through a personal matter more deeply in order to understand what you want. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Ask an important question re-garding the results of a recent conversation. A partner or close

friend will be full of facts and suggestions. Sometimes this person is a well of information. Listen carefully to what he or she has to say. Tonight: Make it your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a lot to do, but you also have the energy to meet your responsibilities. Be careful with machinery and electrical equip-ment, as you could be distracted by the many thoughts in your mind. New information might filter through in a strange way. Tonight: It is your choice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll gain a new understand-ing because of recent conver-sations and new insights. Still, you might want to keep this to yourself, as your thoughts will continue to evolve. What you think now could change radical-ly. Tonight: Get as much R and R as you can. BORNTODAY Actress Elizabeth Taylor (1932), news correspondent Chelsea Clinton (1980), rapper Hurricane Chris (1989) ***

Dear Annie: I’m livid. My 14-year-old daughter and her friends want to see a cer-tain PG-13 movie on Saturday. But after I read the reviews, I will not allow her to go. Why does the film industry produce movies with words and scenes that are such filth? We want movies for our children that have decent content and tell stories that have val-ues and drama without us parents always having to worry that what will be said or shown is contrary to what we want our chil-dren exposed to. Can’t some great producer or film school graduate figure that out? They would be surprised to know how many par-ents no longer allow their kids to go to the movies, and that means no money in their pockets. Please, let’s protect their innocence as long as possible before they have to see the world’s ugliness passed off as entertain-ment. -- Mom Dear Mom: If all kids truly stayed away from PG-13 movies that contained too much violence, sex and foul language, change would come. Unfortunately, that’s not what happens. Your daughter and her friends might stay home, but most kids don’t. We, too, wish Hollywood would stop pan-dering to our most base instincts, but as long as the money keeps coming in, that’s what is going to be out there. The only mov-ies guaranteed not to have such material are those rated G and PG. Beyond that, parents have to read reviews and use their best judg-ment. Dear Annie: My parents, who were both from West Virginia, met in college and set-tled in New York. We spent our childhood summers on our grandparents’ farms, and I couldn’t wait to go back. I work now as a special education teacher and live in a small village in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every summer, my sisters and I get togeth-er in New York. Last summer, we met at the home of one sister who married into wealth. Although I have been ignoring her occa-sional criticisms about my hair, makeup, clothes and shoes for decades, this summer was particularly difficult. Late in the eve-ning, she began a long satirical monologue about how cheap and ugly my shoes were. A few of the others chimed in, but I don’t hold it against them. They were doing it to avoid being her next target. After all, they live near her and have to endure her ostentatious be-havior often. I couldn’t wait to leave. I value family, especially now that we are older and two of my siblings have passed away. But I’m beginning to wonder. By the time I leave these gatherings, I feel dis-respected and diminished. I have close friends in West Virginia who love and value me. I’m wondering whether I should bow out of these summer reunions and limit my exposure to Christmas only. -- Thank God I’m a Country Girl Dear Country Girl: You certainly don’t have to subject yourself to such poor treat-ment frequently, but have you told your sis-ter how her belittling comments make you feel? She may not realize how much she is hurting you and that her nastiness destroys the family closeness you crave. She may claim that she was “only joking,” but still, give her the opportunity to clean up her act before you take drastic action. Dear Annie: “Tired of Living the Lie” states that her children are hurt because they feel their happy childhood was a lie. It WAS a lie. I am sick of hearing how people put up with a lousy marriage for “the sake of their children.” You do your children a far greater disservice by raising them in a dysfunction-al, loveless facade of a marriage than you would raising them as a single parent. You need to cherish, love and honor your-self before you even think of finding another man. Don’t quit counseling. -- I Moved On Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Hi Wendy:I was wondering if you could help

me with a few problems that I have. I have been to counselling off and on and I can’t seem to get rid of these anger issues that I have with my ex-husband.

I found out that he was cheating on me and I left him. It’s been over three years and I still feel this inner tur-moil about what he did to me. He was the one person in the world that I trusted.

Can you and your guides give me some advice on how to go about shedding this anger that I have with him?

Can your guides tell me how many angels I have around me? I feel a presence in my apartment when I’m sitting and reading and I want to know if it’s my angel.

Feeling Despondent

Dear Feeling Despondent:The person that comes to visit you

in your apartment is not your guide or angel; it’s your grandpa.

You have eight guides and three angels around you at this time. This means you are in more need of guid-ance than physical and spiritual healing at this time.

Anger can be a very debilitating emotion physically, spiritually and emotionally.

If anger is not checked and put into proper perspective it can fester and harden a person’s soul. It can make a person hard-hearted and that’s not a good thing.

You have a reason to be angry – you were betrayed and that has hurt you terribly.

Unfortunately, this is where you are stuck and have become a victim in the process of your learning les-son.

The next thing we need to focus on is the acknowledging of who you are really angry at right now. Are you angry with your ex-husband or are you angry with yourself? I asked my guides and they say you are more angry with you right now than your ex-husband.

Stop punishing yourself for being open, honest and trusting when you were with your ex-husband.

You are not the only person on this plane that trusted someone and was betrayed; it happens all the time. If it happens to thousands of others on this plane, then why can it not happen to you?

You are not different or stupid or incompetent or gullible or whatever you have told yourself about the rela-tionship you had with your ex-hus-band. You were in love with him and you trusted him explicitly with your heart.

These types of emotions you had when you were married to him made you a happy human being.

Do not let what happened in this relationship jade your perspective on romance or being with another man for a happy relationship.

If you choose to harden your heart and continue to be angry with you

then you have and are allowing your ex-husband to be in control of your life.

The next thing you need to think about is that you cannot forgive someone unless they make restitu-

tion for the mistakes they have incurred. This means you can-not forgive your ex-husband unless he comes and seriously apologizes for what he has done to you. Only then can you decide if

you wish to forgive him. This does not mean that if he does

apologize, which we don’t see hap-pening for quite awhile, that you should even think of going back to him. It means that perhaps when he does apologize you can feel it in your heart to forgive him and you can bal-ance out your karma together in this lifetime.

Please realize that if you do not forgive your ex-husband or if he does not apologize it does not mean that you need to carry that angry, toxic energy with you.

It means he has chosen not to re-pent for what he has done. You have chosen to not let it affect your every-day life in this lifetime because you are not at fault for the breakdown of the relationship. It means you learn the lesson and move on to become the person you truly want to be.

I would also like to say that repen-tance does not mean a person has to grovel at another person’s feet for the wrong they have caused. Repentance means a person being honestly and truly sorry for what they have done and change their ways.

This in turn shows the abused per-son that they truly do feel sorry and have learned the lesson for the pain they have inflicted on that person and themselves as well.

Remember you have control over your life; you do not have control over his life. You cannot make him do or feel what you want him to.

Stop living in the illusion of regret and vengeance and start living your life for you.

In conclusion, take some time read over the information my guides have said in this reading; we have done it for you.

Perhaps some of it will make sense to you and you may have a different attitude when it comes to forgiving yourself and letting your ex-husband be who he wants to be on his “own side of the fence”, so to speak, without interfering in your everyday life and thoughts.

A different attitude and way of thinking about a situation and learn-ing the lesson can give a person the freedom of a good night’s sleep.

It also makes a person a warrior instead of a victim.

Think about it. Wendy

THE BC BUDGET...

This is BC’s second consecutive balanced budget, ensuring that BC will remain an attractive place for investors who create jobs in mining,

forestry, oil & gas and tourism. A balanced budget also means your government retains its AAA credit rating and pays about $2 billion LESS of your tax dollars for interest on the provincial debt.

Even with the tough times, we managed to fi nd $12 million for the EK Regional Hospital’s new ICU, $2.4 billion more to invest

in healthcare, $146 million for the Early Childhood Tax Credit, $243 million for Community Living BC and $2.3 billion for skills training facilities.

We were elected in May of 2013 on a promise to balance the budget and focus on the economy and jobs. This balanced budget, only

one of two in all of Canada, is a promise made, promise kept.

The B.C. Court of Ap-peal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the govern-ment in 2002.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal bat-tle with the B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation allows stability for parents and students while ne-gotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues.

The decision pro-vides a “stable environ-ment” for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said.

“We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both par-ties where we have a ne-gotiated settlement,” Fassbender said.

Those negotiations,

to replace an imposed contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote.

The appeal court de-cision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major dis-ruption to schools, which will likely take several months.

In January, B.C. Su-preme Court Justice Susan Griffin found for a second time that B.C. legislation imposing contract terms violated teachers’ right to collec-tive bargaining.

In his decision, Jus-tice David Harris agreed with submissions from district superintendents around the province.

“The evidence demonstrates that the immediate reinsertion of the deleted terms into the collective agreement will proba-bly lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next

school year, immense challenges in hiring sufficient suitably qual-ified staff, lay-offs of employees, change to available school pro-grams, cancelling school programs, creat-ing more classes, mov-ing students to other schools, disrupting pro-grams for special needs students, the provision

of additional classroom space (likely through the addition of porta-bles where space per-mits), and the breaking of contracts with com-munity groups who use school space for their activities as school dis-tricts reclaim the need-ed space to accommo-date additional classes,” Harris wrote.

BCTF lawyers had ar-gued that the 2002 rules could have been rein-stated in time for the September 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional argu-ments would be com-plete by then, and if it is successful, the school system would have to be made over again.

c ANADIAN PreSSCOLDSTREAM, B.C. — Conser-

vation officers have shot an injured cougar that was hanging around homes and a school in the Okanagan community of Coldstream.

Sgt. Josh Lockwood of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service says COs think the two-year-old male got into a territorial dispute with another

cat because one of its front paws was nearly torn off.

Lockwood says the animal also suffered bite marks and had scratch-es up and down its back.

Conservation officers had no choice but to shoot the cougar be-cause Lockwood says the animal was so close to homes and an elementary school.

c ANADIAN PreSS

VANCOUVER — The Canadian navy has been cleared in the death of a killer whale that washed up in Washington state two years ago.

The whale’s blood-ied and bruised carcass washed up just north of Long Beach, Wash.

The Royal Canadian Navy had been con-ducting sonar and small underwater ex-plosive activity off southern Vancouver Island over several days about a week be-fore the whale washed ashore, and there was speculation that navy activity could have killed the orca.

A team of veterinar-ians and biologists who investigated the whale’s death said the navy confirmed explo-sive activity Feb. 4, 5, and 6.

The whale washed ashore Feb. 11.

But “no marine mammals were ob-served during the training activities,’’ said the report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration in the U.S.

“The activities were too far to the north and downwind of the stranding location to be a consideration.’’

The team deter-mined the whale did not die in Canadian waters, but more likely near the mouth of the Columbia River or fur-ther south along the Washington coast.

The whale was killed by blunt trauma to its head, but the cause of those injuries could not be deter-mined, the report said.

The juvenile female, known as L-112, was a member of an endan-gered orca pod resi-dent in Puget Sound.
