The future of Summer TheatreC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

What’s next for Kim-berley Summer Theatre? That’s a question the cur-rent Board is hoping to clarify next week at a Spe-cial General Meeting.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday April 8, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the former Field’s

Building.Kimberley Summer

Theatre did not produce a show in 2014, as the board dealt with debt left over from the 2013 sea-son.

“The Board has been working very hard to re-duce the deficit and has had a great deal of suc-cess, due to local fund-

raisers, generous dona-tions and help from ded-icated volunteers,” said Society board member Roxanne Harper. “The Board wishes to update the community as to what we have been doing in the last few months and to discuss possible future plans.”

Kimberley Summer

Theatre was a staple of Kimberley summers, with a stage show and the Vaudeville show in the Platzl for many years, and its absence has been no-ticed.

The question is, are there people out there who want to get involved in keeping it going? If you are one of those people,

attend the meeting next Wednesday.

“We hope to see you at this Special Meeting — more details will be avail-able at that time. Your ideas, suggestions and input are welcome,” Harper said. “Come and share refreshments and goodies with us — see you there.”

FOR THE TOWNSMANAndré Chalabi has been busy

prepping for the first prescribed burns of 2015 in the Trench. Cha-labi is Burn Boss with Wildfire Management Branch, (a division of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions, FLNRO), and works from the Southeast Fire Centre in Cranbrook.

“This spring we’re planning one ecosystem restoration burn, if weather and air venting condi-tions permit,” Chalabi said. “We’ve been prepping the ground to protect values like fence-lines and power poles, and we’ve ma-chine-guarded the northeast end of the site.”

The Cherry Creek North and South sites are part of the St. Mary Pasture, an area about 10 kilome-tres west of Kimberley, just south of Highway 95A. The prescribed burn treatment will tie into last fall’s Artesian Pasture burn to cre-ate a landscape mosaic of treated areas along with fuel reduction around the Wildland Urban In-terface.

This ecosystem restoration burn is the follow-up to treat-ments that started in 2009. Me-chanical and manual thinning removed much of the larger size

fuels on site. Now the challenge is to wait until there are enough grassy fuels to carry a low-inten-sity burn, and that conditions are correct so the smoke vents up and out of the valley.

Chalabi said the area is valued for ungulate winter range, badger and Lewis’s woodpecker habitat, domestic grazing and plant diver-sity. “As well, this burn unit helps ‘fire-harden’ the landscape around Kimberley. Reduced fuel mean reduced wildfire intensity and safer communities.”

Chalabi wants to get the word out: “If you see smoke in the next

few weeks, please know our crews are doing the best we can to en-sure the burns are safe and effec-tive.

“The burns help rejuvenate the site’s natural fire-adapted shrubs and grasses,” he said, “they maintain or enhance diver-sity, wildlife habitat and commu-nity safety.”

Although this winter has seen below-average snowpack, the site is currently not quite ready to burn.

“The ground is thawing,” Cha-labi said. “But there are still snow patches scattered through the pasture.”

His best prediction for the burn is sometime in early April.

“When we have the perfect ‘burn window’—the set of condi-tions we need to proceed—we’ll be ready to do the burn. We’ll have ground and helicopter igni-tion crews on the job.”

Funding for this prescribed burn is provided by the B.C. Gov-ernment’s Land Based Invest-ment program and the Province of British Columbia Wildfire Management Branch.

No boundaries for drug dealers

Cpl. Chris Ne welOn Saturday March

28, police executed a search warrant in Fern-ie and seized PCP, Co-caine, Marijuana, Ec-stasy, Hash, Magic Mushrooms and cash. Four persons were ar-rested when police en-tered the residence; two face charges of Possession for the Pur-pose of Trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. Charges of Posses-sion of a Controlled Substance are being considered for the

other two. Investigators from

the Cranbrook/Kim-berley Crime Reduc-tion Unit had obtained information about the individuals and worked closely with the Elk Valley Detachment to obtain a search war-rant. Inside the house on 4th Ave in Fernie police found; Cocaine (1 oz), Phencyclidine (PCP, 1 oz.), Hash (1 oz.), Magic Mush-rooms (1 lb.), Marijua-na (1 lb.), over $8000 cash and Ecstasy along with evidence related to drug trafficking.

A male and female were released for court at a later date with con-

ditions not to possess a cell phone, report to a bail supervisor and no firearms.

The combined ef-fort between the de-tachments resulted in the arrest of four indi-viduals and the seizure of a significant amount of drugs. Those in-volved in the drug trade operate every-where and police often find connections to other towns or cities, in this case they were able to act on the informa-tion.

Blue Lake Centre’s Winter Outdoor Youth

Leadership Program Deemed a Success

Cranbrook BC (April

1st, 2015) - Over spring break, 18 young outdoor enthusiasts aged 14-18 years old spent 8 days out at Blue Lake Centre participating in Blue Lake’s Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership Pro-gram. This unique lead-ership opportunity brought together a com-bination of Canadian and International Ex-change students to work together as a team to de-velop leadership skills, outdoor skills and com-munity volunteerism initiatives. During chal-lenging day hikes, excit-ing leadership activities, and even an overnight winter camping trip the group honed their natu-ral leadership and team-work skills an insepara-ble team.

Leadership and youth community en-gagement have always been an essential com-ponent of Blue Lake’s community presence and involvement. All participants exited the Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership program

with a plan to take a leadership role in their communities through a commitment of volun-tary community action to improve the places they live. Some notable initiatives developed by campers included: The development of a GSA (Gay Straight Alliance), a plan for a ride-share net-work in the Cran-brook-Kimberly region, the development of a performance arts club to entertain at hospitals, and a weekly cof-fee-house open-mic night for youth.

Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership Camp Coordinator Nick Haber-man deemed the pro-gram a fantastic success. “The Blue Lake family had plenty of new addi-tions by the end of the week” said Haberman “Many goodbye tears were shed, and I’m very excited to see the impact these kids will have on their communities in the very near future.”

Blue Lake has begun registration for their Summer Outdoor Youth Leadership, Junior Out-door Youth Leadership programs as well as their regular Summer Camp programs. Anyone inter-ested is encouraged to apply quickly as space is limited and expected to fill quickly.

Blue Lake Centre gratefully acknowledges the financial support of

Blue Lake Outdoor Youth Leadership program

Columbia Basic Trust which supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental ben-efits to the residents of the Columbia Basin.

Blue Lake Centre is an outdoor education centre located in the Purcell Mountains just 45 minutes South of Fairmont Hot Springs, BC and 90 minutes

North of Cranbrook, BC. For over 35 years, its wil-derness location and outstanding education staff have made Blue Lake Centre a top desti-nation for outdoor edu-cation programming.

Parents can register their children for the Outdoor Youth Leader-ship Program online at www.bluelakecentre.com or by calling 250-426-3676. Early registra-tion is recommended as space is limited.

BLACK PRESSBackyard bird enthu-

siasts should regularly clean their bird feeders and bird baths at this time of year, as migra-tory songbirds return from their winter re-treats.

Species such as pine siskins, redpolls and grosbeaks congregate in large flocks in spring, and their close contact at a time of weather stress and nutrition shortage can pass dis-eases from bird to bird, says a bulletin from the B.C. forests ministry.

Cleaning feeders every two weeks and changing water in bird baths every few days can reduce the spread of avian pox virus, avian conjunctivitis and sal-monella bacteria among birds. Using metal or plastic feeders rather than wood, and spread-ing out multiple small feeders that only allow

Crowded feeders a health risk for returning songbirds

one or two birds at a time also reduces the risk of disease transmis-sion.

Wildlife biologists say these bird diseases can also spread to peo-ple handling infected birds or contaminated materials. Placing bird feeders over a concrete surface allows easier cleanup of litter under-neath, which can also prevent spread of infec-tion.

If you see one or two sick birds in your area, biologists advise clear-ing and scrubbing the feeder. If there are more than three diseased birds, take your feeder down for a week or two to encourage birds to disperse.

Here are some com-mon signs to look for:

• Birds with avian conjunctivitis have red, swollen, watery or crust-ed eyes. Infection can be spread by feeders with small openings that

birds touch with the sides of their heads. In-fected birds may have trouble feeding and re-main on the ground near the feeder.

• Birds with salmo-nella bacterium may be found dead or appear tame, sitting quietly for hours or days, often with their feathers fluffed up. Salmonella

can easily spread to pets or humans, and so strict hygiene should be en-forced in these situa-tions.

• Birds with avian pox virus may have warty lesions on the un-feathered parts of their head, legs or feet.

I really liked the furious debate that broke out recently among astrono-mers about whether we should send out signals to the universe

saying “we’re here.” It implicitly assumes that somehow, if your science is really ad-vanced, then interstellar travel is possible.

I like it because I hate the idea that the human race will never be able to go be-yond this little planetary system “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the un-fashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy,” as Douglas Adams put it in his “Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

We need somebody to do to Einstein’s physics what Einstein did to New-ton’s. But while we’re wait-ing for that, it’s good to know that some quite grown-up scientists (astronomers, not physicists, admittedly, but I’ll take whatever I can get) think it’s worth having a debate about whether we should take the risk of letting all the aliens know we are here.

I missed the debate when it took place at the American Association for the Ad-vancement of Science’s annual confer-ence in San Jose last month because I was on Mars at the time. (Well, somewhere that felt quite like Mars, anyway.) But here’s a couple of quotes to give the fla-vour of it.

“Any society that could come here and ruin our whole day by incinerating the planet already knows we are here,” said Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer and Director at the Center for SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California.

Not so fast, said space scientist and science-fiction writer David Brin. “The arrogance of shouting into the cosmos without any proper risk assessment defies

belief. It is a course that would put our grandchildren at risk,” he said. If we send them messages, they may come here and enslave us. Or just eat us.

Now, the traditional way to shut this debate down is to point out that we’ve al-ready been sending out radio and televi-sion signals for a hundred years. There-fore, any intergalactic pirates within a hundred light-years of here already know where we are. But it turns out that this isn’t actually true: our radio and televi-

sion signals begin to fade into the background radio static beyond about one light-year away.

Since the nearest star is more than four light-years away, there’s not much chance that the Klingons or Vogons or whoever

you’re worried about knows we’re here yet. (And there goes the plot of “Galaxy Quest”.)

On the other hand, powerful radar sig-nals of the kind that we have been using to map the surface of other planets and moons in our own system travel a very long way, and we’ve already been sending them out for over twenty years. They don’t carry much information – they just say “somebody here can generate microwave radiation” – but just that might be enough to attract unwelcome attention.This new debate is actually about “active SETI”. We have been doing “passive SETI” – listen-ing for messages from civilisations around other stars – for more than forty years al-ready, using large radio telescopes that can pick up very faint signals. But there are quite strict rules about who should reply if they do get a message.

The First Protocol, drafted by the Inter-national Academy of Astronautics SETI Panel in 1989, says that “no transmission in response to a signal or other evidence

of extraterrestrial intelligence should be sent until appropriate international con-sultations have taken place.” But the ad-vocates of “active SETI” want to scrap that and send out an “all call” to the universe.

One of the reasons the debate has got more heated is that we now know planets are as common as dirt. It’s only twenty years since the first confirmed discovery of an “exoplanet”, but now we know of 1,906 of them, mostly orbiting relatively nearby stars and a very small proportion showing Earth-like characteristics. (But the actual number of Earth-like planets may be much higher, since it’s a lot easier to find gas-giants like Jupiter or Saturn.)

There are probably hundreds of thou-sands of planets in our vicinity (there are 260,000 stars within 250 light-years). If even a mere few thousand of them are Earth-like, then it is imaginable that somebody might come calling in re-sponse to the messages we send -- if, and only if, it is possible to travel at near- or trans-light speeds.

Nobody knows how light-speed travel could be done, and our current under-standing of physics says that it can’t be done. But this would be a very silly debate if scientists were really all convinced that there is no possibility of getting around the current speed limit.

They will never say that it might be possible, because they cannot suggest how it might be done and the risk to their reputations would therefore be extreme. But they are quite happy to engage in a debate that would be totally irrelevant if they didn’t think there is a chance that we – or some other civilisation in our galactic vicinity – will eventually figure out how to do it. And that cheers me up consider-ably.

take advantage of arts and culture screeningsNot that it matters much in the big pic-

ture, but I would like to share an experience with you. I went to see the Globe’s produc-tion of Macbeth shown on the big screen at Landmark Cinemas in the Tamarack Mall last Saturday.

It was a marvelous experience, fast-paced, beautiful poetry and enough ‘ac-tion’ for any movie-goer. But there were a lot of empty seats in the theatre. What was really sad was the absence of high school students who must study this play.

Please take advantage of the arts and cultural events being shown in local movie theatres — experience world class acting, music and dance while you can, before monetary considerations deprive us of one more thing out here in the sticks.

CdaC and the Fire HallDear Mayor Pratt and members of Cran-

brook City Council:We hope that you will take a few min-

utes to watch this inspiring Ted Talk before making your April 2 decision re the future of the old Fire Hall: http://www.ted.com/talks/theaster_gates_how_to_revive_a_neighborhood_with_imagination_beauty_and_art

The Cranbrook & District Arts Council (CDAC) has the ability to create, through the old Fire Hall, what this artist did in Chi-cago. He started with $18,000, and has cre-ated a hub of cultural, educational, and social activities in his community. Arts Councils in communities smaller than ours

are doing it — successfully.For several years CDAC has been oper-

ating in good faith towards the goal of even-tually moving into the old Fire Hall to ex-pand their capacity and program offerings. They have money in the bank specifically for a lift/elevator for the fire hall, for an ar-chitectural design, paid for a completed engineering study as requested by the City, and have/are applying for hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants in support of their plans.

Just as Theaster Gates proved that arts and culture definitely rejuvenates strug-gling neighbourhoods, the revitalization of our downtown core is something that local businesses and two previous City Councils also recognized.

There is no solid reason to reject CDAC’s proposal.

Federal and provincial governments do not return grant dollars to taxpayers be-cause they weren’t used. If CDAC doesn’t obtain grants, the funds will go to other communities, and Cranbrook loses the economic spin-offs. It is common practice for social service, recreational, environ-mental, and arts and cultural organizations to apply for grants. The City of Cranbrook also applies yearly for millions of dollars in grants in order to service our community.

For the betterment of Cranbrook, we ask that you decide in favour of turning the old Fire Hall over to CDAC, like the Studio/Stage Door, keeping it a public building with a beneficial public purpose.

What’s B.C.’s grand treaty plan?

Re: Treaty trouble has deep roots (B.C.

Views, March 31).No one would disagree that the B.C.

treaty process hasn’t been as successful as hoped. Indeed, there are also many First Nations who think it is the wrong process of reconciliation altogether.

However, that doesn’t excuse Premier Christy Clark’s recent decision to blindside B.C.’s treaty partners by refusing to appoint George Abbott as head of the B.C. Treaty Commission.

Although it might be comforting to think that Premier Clark’s reckless be-haviour was done in consultation with the federal government, there is simply no ev-idence to suggest that.

Not only did Jerry Lampert, the federal government’s appointee to the treaty com-mission, say Ottawa was as surprised as the other parties to the process, but on March 26, NDP Leader John Horgan stood in the legislature and asked Premier Clark three times whether she had discussed her plans with the federal government, and she did not contradict the words of Mr. Lampert.

If the B.C. Liberal government has a grand plan for reinventing the treaty pro-cess, they aren’t sharing it with any of their constitutional partners.

B.C.’s approach to reconciliation needs to be re-energized so that First Nations, resource workers and those seeking to bring new investment to B.C. can have certainty. This means not only fixing the treaty process, but doing more work to find a way forward with First Nations who have chosen a different path. That means work-ing together, not going it alone.

Dan SchellenbergThe repainted CP FA-2 4090

diesel locomotive sits in its stately fashion on the tracks lo-cated at King and Van Horne in Cranbrook. Directly behind it rests the FB-2, 4469 passenger coach, also repainted.

The Paint the Train project carried out by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club is truly a testament to the fruition of the efforts of volunteerism in our community. After three years of undertaking the Paint the Train project, all of the dedicated work carried out by committee members, volunteers and local painter Kim Wasylowich, pro-prietor of locally owned Rie-menn painting, brought the project to completion last fall.

Originally, the innovative lo-comotive, built in Montreal in 1952 by Montreal Locomotive Works, arrived in Cranbrook in 1954. The first man to drive the big diesel unit in Cranbrook, Peter Twarowsk, now resides at Joseph Creek Village. Peter, then a fireman for Canadian Pacific Railway, clearly recounts the first day the engine came to Cranbrook.

“The CP yard master, Charlie asked me: ‘Would you turn this unit around?’ I said, ‘Charlie, I’ve never been in one before.’

Rotary seeks stories for celebration

Charlie said to me, ‘neither have I.’ So, I got in with my 5-year old son Lloyd and turned it around.”

The FA engine now rests proudly in its space at the King Street crossing Elko station, after being restored from a worn out appearance to its cur-rent gleaming state with fresh coats of durable epoxy paint and precision detail work on lettering and emblems. The final detail work was done by Rick Janzen, owner of Stream-

line Studios based in Calgary. His extensive experience in train restoration projects, in-clude the hand painted letter-ing for a train engine that is on display at Heritage Park in Cal-gary. Also, Rick’s hand painted signs are featured on numerous Hollywood production sets. Rick recreated and painted the Beaver crest on to the nose of the Alco FA-2 engine.

The Cranbrook Sunrise Ro-tary Club is planning to hold a celebration later this year in

order to commemorate the res-toration of the 4090 and 4469, which includes a display of ma-terial. To help complete the display, the Club is requesting photos, stories or any informa-tion about the 4090 and the 4469, which can be sent to P.O. Box 765 in Cranbrook, V1C 4J5. Items, depending on space, will be featured on the display board at the locomotive site on King and Van Horne. The Club needs to receive any memora-bilia by April 16 of this year.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The Calgary Hitmen and Kootenay Ice bat-tled to a tight series through three games, but that all changed Wednesday night in Game 4 of the WHL’s Eastern Conference Quarter-final.

Hitmen forward Connor Rankin regis-tered his first-career WHL post-season hat-trick to fuel the offence as Calgary out skated the Kootenay Ice en route to a 7-2 victory and 3-1 series lead.

“I don’t think we came out with quite the same energy level that we had last night. Obvi-ously with a day off [Thursday], hopefully that helps us,” said Koo-tenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

“Energy is an individ-ual aspect of the game. It has nothing to do with rolling four lines. It has nothing to do with match-ups. Energy is in-dividual and I didn’t think, collectively as in-dividuals, that we had a lot of energy in the first five, six minutes of the game when we need to establish the game plan.”

A 6-foot native of North Vancouver, Rankin opened the scor-ing by going to the net and depositing an Adam Tambellini rebound only 1:12 into the Wednesday night festivities.

“We were flat right from the start,” said Koo-tenay Ice forward Luke Philp. “For whatever rea-son, we weren’t getting after it to start and they were the better team from the get-go tonight.”

The 20-year-old Rankin struck early in the second period, as Tambellini wheeled through the high slot before sending a beauti-ful pass to Rankin on the doorstep. There was lit-tle for Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin to do on the play as Rankin made it a 3-1 game.

Round three for Rankin came on the man advantage midway through the second pe-riod, as the winger wired a wrist shot that eluded Hoflin high and gave the visitors a commanding 5-1 lead.

“With an 8-7 game [Tuesday], we wanted to clean up a bunch of stuff even though we got the win,” Rankin said. “But

tonight was just a great team performance. I think a lot of guys had really good personal games and it led to team success tonight.

“We have the mind-set that we can win any-where. We definitely proved it [Wednesday] getting back-to-back wins here…We definite-ly put ourselves in a good spot.”

Jaedon Descheneau got the hosts on the board late in the first pe-riod, sending a slap shot through Hitmen goal-tender Brendan Burke to make it a 2-1 game, but that’s as close as the Ice came in Game 4.

“They’ve got good physical ‘D’ back there and they make it hard for you to get to the net,” Philp said. “But we’ve got to do a better job getting pucks and bod-ies to the net. [Wednes-day] we didn’t do a good enough job of generat-ing chances from [get-ting bodies and pucks to the net].”

Tambellini contin-ued his torrid scoring pace, adding a goal and three assists to take hold of the overall scoring lead in the WHL

post-season, with five goals and nine points to his credit.

Burke stuck it out in net for the full 60 min-utes Wednesday night, turning aside 27 of the 29 shots sent his way.

At the other end, Hoflin was victimized six times on 41 shots, with Tambellini tallying an empty-net goal.

After opening the se-ries 2-for-5 (40-per-cent success rate) on the man advantage, the Ice power play came to a crash halt in Games 3 and 4, as Kootenay went a com-

bined 0-for-7 with the extra man on home ice.

“Just simplify it, not think too much,” Philp said of kick-starting the power play. “Take op-portunities to shoot the puck. Take what they give us, not look for any-thing too fancy.”

On the other side of the equation, the Cal-gary Hitmen power play has hummed along con-sistently since Game 1, going a combined 6-for-17 (35.3-per-cent suc-cess rate) through four games.

The Ice now face a

3-1 hole in the best-of-seven Eastern Confer-ence Quarter-final while the Hitmen look at their first opportunity to eliminate Kootenay when Game 5 goes at the Scotiabank Saddle-dome Friday night.

Notes: Kootenay Ice F Jon Martin (undis-closed) and F Zak Zbo-rosky (undisclosed) missed Game 4 due to injury. Zborosky played Games 1 and 2 in Cal-gary before sitting out Game 3 Tuesday night…Ice D Tanner Faith (shoulder, three to five

months) was the other scratch for the Ice… The Hitmen went without D Jake Bean (lower body, day to day) and F Beck Malenstyn (upper body) and also scratched G Kyle Dumba (AP), D Aaron Hyman (AP) and F Layne Bensmiller…There were a grand total of 2,147 fans in atten-dance for Game 4 at Western Financial Place (up from 2,126 in Game 3) as not even an electri-fying 8-7 overtime thrill-er was enough to entice hockey fans to take in Wednesday’s game…

Kimberley beast mode

Nitros G Tyson Brouwer named Playoff MVPTaylor rocc a

More than one name was batted around con-versations in the Koote-nays and Interior British Columbia when it came to the most valuable player of the 2015 KIJHL post-season.

At the end of it all, the KIJHL has yet to name a league MVP for post-sea-son play, but the Kim-berley Dynamiters have.

Goaltender Tyson Brouwer was deserving-ly named the Nitros 2015 Playoff MVP during a celebration at the Kimberley Civic Centre Monday night.

“I said at our ban-quet, which was before the playoffs started, that our goaltenders will be the MVP of the playoffs and that’s what will win us a championship,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks moments after his team’s victory in Game 6 of the KIJHL final. “I threw it on him because I know he can deal with it.

“He’s such a great kid on and off the ice. Good things happen to good people and he’s a great kid. He spends a lot of time on the ice with school kids and minor hockey teams and he’s there to help out when-ever need be. He’s a winner and he battles hard and he competes.

“After the first period, he went in and told the guys, ‘Do you have any idea how bad I want this?’ It’s pretty cool. He’s a phenomenal goaltender.”

There’s little debat-ing Brouwer’s creden-tials as “phenomenal.”

The 19-year-old na-tive of Lethbridge, Alta., stood tall -- much taller than his generous listing of 5-foot-11 -- in guiding the Kimberley to the town’s first KIJHL cham-pionship since the 1980 Kimberley Knights ac-

complished the task 35 years ago.

Brouwer went 16-4 through 20 playoff games as he played all but 139 minutes between the pipes for the Nitros, posting a 1.78 goals-against average and 0.940 save percentage (SP) with two shutouts.

“It’s nice to be recog-nized,” Brouwer said Monday afternoon in between signing auto-graphs for adoring fans on the concourse of the Kimberley Civic Centre. “It’s kind of hard to ac-cept an award for just one person when you have 20 guys going out every night and laying everything on the line.

“It’s a surreal feeling, I guess. It’s nice to be rec-ognized but at the same time, I think the team should be recognized and I’m glad we got the championship so every-one can be recognized.”

A knee injury forced Brouwer out of action early in the KIJHL post-season, as he

missed part of Game 1, as well as Games 2 and 3 against the Fernie Ghostriders during the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion final.

“Initially when it happened, I thought I was going to be out [for the duration of playoffs], which was extremely hard to accept the fact,” Brouwer said. “But I had a great medical staff look after me right away. Everything was really positive even with the coaching staff and all the players. I think that was why I was able to come back how I did.

“I’m still not 100 per cent, but I’m glad it all worked out in the end.”

With the help of Dy-namiters medical and training staff, including some extra professional attention courtesy Koo-tenay Ice athletic thera-pist Cory Cameron, Brouwer made a mirac-ulous return and the rest is history, as they say.

Brouwer returned to the crease March 6 for

Game 4 of the Eddie Mountain Division final and rattled off six con-secutive wins, turning aside 185 of the 197 shots he faced, good for an astounding 0.939 SP over that stretch.

Not too bad for a kid operating with pretty se-rious pain in his knee.

“Flexibility -- I defi-nitely lost a lot of that, just because I can’t push my right leg out,” Brou-wer said. “Cross-crease passes are a little diffi-cult now. Knee drops. But when you’re taped up and playing and you want something as bad

as this, you can play through it.

“It wasn’t just me who had injuries. Lots of guys had injuries and played through them. If Jesse Wallace could play with that [separated] shoulder he probably would have. It’s not just me.”

In the KIJHL champi-onship, with everything on the line, Brouwer ele-vated his play. Though the shot count may have been down relative to previous series, the Ni-tros netminder made a handful of key saves every night, including a critical stop on a two-on-one in Game 6 -- stoning Storm forward Dallas Otto -- to pre-serve a 3-1 lead and pre-vent the host Kamloops Storm from earning any momentum.

After a six-game KIJHL championship rollercoaster, Brouwer stopped 175 of 190 shots, good for a 0.921 SP on the league’s big-gest stage.

“He’s unbelievable,” said Dynamiters captain Jason Richter shortly after Game 6 of the KIJHL championship. “He’s our best player. He’s obviously our MVP in the playoffs, I assume. He is basically our back-bone. He carried us the whole way. Whenever we got down he bailed us out. Even during the regular season, he is

easily our best player.”Richter “assumed”

Brouwer was playoff MVP moments after the trophy and banner had been handed out, de-spite the fact the playoff MVP was not to be named until Monday. That alone speaks to the significance of Brouw-er’s contributions.

Not to mention the KIJHL scoring leader, Richter, tabbed him as the team’s best player. Pretty high praise com-ing from a well-decorat-ed teammate.

Though Brouwer has been singled out as the key piece to the puzzle through the Nitros post-season run, he is quick to lend credit to the team in front of him and at the end of the day, his name wasn’t the only one in conversation as an MVP candidate.

Forward Braden Saretsky led the KIJHL in playoff scoring, finding twine 18 times through 22 games, while adding 11 assists for 29 points.

Richter, though he didn’t rack up points the way he did through reg-ular season play, still posted 19 points in 22 games. Perhaps the greatest asset he provid-ed his team was a fear-less and relentless will-ingness to make the small plays in the defen-sive zone, highlighted by his reckless abandon in the shot-blocking de-

partment.Brouwer might have

been the backbone, but as is the case with any championship team, he was surrounded by a full body of work parts -- each of which played a role in what the 2014-15 Kimberley Dynamiters have achieved to this point in the season.

Next up, Brouwer and the Dynamiters take their show on the road -- a long road to Mission, B.C. -- and the 2015 Cy-clone Taylor Cup as they seek out B.C. Junior B supremacy against the best of the best from around the province.

It’s going to take more than just heroics from the likes of Tyson Brouwer for the Dyna-miters to claim the B.C. title and with characters like Richter and Saretsky helping lead the push, there’s no question the Nitros stand to compete.

For anyone who has ever cruised, and loved it, you know about the

highly anticipated wait for new ships to be launched, and the scramble to be the first to experience them!

So, here’s a couple of the new ones just launched, or soon to be. Wow, is all I can say.

Cruise ships have come a long way and inventors and designers are utilizing cut-ting edge technology to cre-ate incredible experiences for us lowly mortals in search of a stimulating vacation.

Read on …Royal Caribbean’s Quan-

tum of the Seas was launched in fall 2014. Soon will be followed by Anthem of the Seas in spring 2015, and Ovation of the Seas in spring 2016. Each will hold 4200 passengers. If you can’t have fun on these ships, it just may be impossi-ble for you! There are bumper cars, a skydiving simulator, trapeze training at circus school, the ‘North Star’ pod – a gondola on a

New cruise ship innovations: Part ICarla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes about the cutting edge technology going into new launches

mechanical arm 300 feet above sea level with a 360 degree view, and ‘Two70’ – 3D entertainment system integrated with singing, dancing and acrobatics. Royal Caribbean has re-placed traditional dining in large dining rooms with ‘Dy-namic Dining’ – many smaller venues, downside is

you need to make reserva-tions, but enter ‘Royal iQ’ – the app that allows you to do that, as well as reserve your entertainment options in advance. There are other interesting things, like the Bionic Bar with robot bar-tenders, interior staterooms with ‘virtual balconies’ – floor to ceiling LCD TV

screens linked to views out-side the ship, and a $5M big, bold, fun art installation. Gone are key cards, they have been replaced with ‘smart’ wrist bands.

Norwegian’s Escape will be launched in October 2015, followed by Bliss in spring 2017. Each will hold 4200 passengers. Norwe-

gian’s designers have creat-ed a great outdoor dining and drinking area called ‘The Waterfront’. You’ll find the District Brewhouse, with 24 beer on taps and over 50 bottled beer; Tobacco Road, famous and oldest bar in Miami; Jimmy Buffet’s Mar-garitaville, and nonstop music, dancing and enter-

tainment. Norwegian was the first line to create ‘solo studio suites’ and the ‘Living Room’ on the Norwegian Epic. There are even more of them on Escape, a total of 82 staterooms designed com-pletely for single travellers, with a great single price. The ‘Living Room’ is their exclu-sive meeting place, accessible only by keycard for those re-siding in the solo suites. They have also expanded ‘The Haven’ to 55 suites. This is really a ship within a ship. This is an exclusive area with large family and penthouse suites, private pools, restau-rants, bars, spa and fitness area. Other guests cannot visit The Haven, but Haven residents have free reign of the entire ship and its ameni-ties.

Next time, I’ll let you know what Holland America Line is doing, and the expansion of Viking River Cruises to Viking Ocean Cruises. For more in-formation, contact Master Cruise Counsellor Carla Nel-son, at Maritime Travel 250.489.4788.

Museum and Archives

1903Ouch! … E. London came down

from Kimberley last Monday to have a tooth pulled. He was suffering in-tense pain and went to Dr. King’s office with his friend Dan Howe. Unfortunately the doctor happened to be out. London was bemoaning the fact that he could not get relief and Howe turned to him and said: “Sit down there old man I’ll fix you”. He picked up a pair of the doctor’s forceps, found the tooth, gave it a yank and the operation was over. They left the tooth as evidence of their visit and retired to the hotel.

A bad scare … About 8 o’clock Monday night there was seen a flash of fire and the reflection of flames on the building next to Prest’s photograph gallery and W. T. Reid & Co.’s store. The alarm of fire was given and in two minutes the street was crowded and the volun-teers had brought out the hose cart and hose. Great excitement pre-vailed, and for a minute or two it was thought that the whole block was on fire. Merchants were hastily gathering up books and papers, while the jewellry stores lost no time in getting the most valuable part of their stock into a place of safety. The fire was due to the wax paper on the inside of the sky light in the photograph gallery catching

fire from a flash light. There was no real danger at any time, and Mrs. Prest and her sister Mrs. Woolhunt-er, calmly remained in the gallery until the flames were extinguished. In five minutes it was all over and the crowd had dispersed, but many a man engaged in business on the Main Street had a fright that caused chills to play leap frog along his spi-nal column.

Don’t drink the water! … The person who uses the water from the wells on the flat in this town is taking his life in his hands.

1904Expensive hair cuts ... There are

two men in this district who find that it is expensive to keep their hair in anything like presentable shape. J. T. Burgess C. P. R. agent at Kitch-ener finds it necessary to come to Cranbrook every six weeks or two months for tonsorial attention, and the trip costs him from $5 to $10. Harry Drew proprietor of the North Star hotel at Kimberley revises the order of things and has a barber come to him about once a month. He could not leave his business and come to Cranbrook without the loss of two days, and an expense of $10 to $15, but a Cranbrook barber can go to him leaving at noon and re-turning at six o’clock. For the trip Mr. Drew pays $5, and under the circumstances gets off cheap.

Narrow escape … C. H. Wilson, of the City bakery, had a narrow es-cape from what might have been a

severe accident last Saturday, while catching a runaway horse. He caught the horse by the bridle and the animal threw him on the frozen ground knocking him senseless. Fortunately he got off with a few bruises.

Get out! … Cranbrook can easily dispense with grafters and men of that class. There have been too many individuals hanging around this town who are too strong to work. As a result they have depend-ed upon skin games and another source of revenue too low to print, to gather in the coin. Clean them out. It is time to declare war on every individual of that kind in the town.

Ruffians … J. G. Templeton is the victim of a number of the young terriers in Cranbrook who helped themselves to many small things in his stock during the rush of moving last week. There are a number of boys in this town who will get a term in the Nelson jail if some of the ag-grieved parties ever conclude to prosecute. On several occasions the boys have been let off on account of the parents, but some day that will become a chestnut, and then the parents will wish they had looked after their offspring.

1905Bearly made it! … R. E. Beattie

and Fred Hazen went up to Mat-thew creek last Tuesday land had an experience they will not forget very soon. Fred has a promising pros-

pect in that locality, and the two went up to examine the property. There is a tunnel about 110 feet long and when Messrs. Beattie and Hazen reached the mouth they tied their team and prepared for the ex-amination. Lighting two candles they entered the tunnel, one carry-ing an old axe and the other a bro-ken pick. They had gotten in about forty feet when they came upon a wheelbarrow that had been left there at the close of work last sea-son. The tunnel is a narrow one and it was necessary to climb over the vehicle. About this time Beatty re-marked to Hazen: “What smells so peculiar. There must be something dead in here.” Hazen laughed and expressed the opinion that it was Beatty’s imagination They proceed-ed along the tunnel, their only light being the dim rays from the two candles they carried. They were nearly half way when suddenly the silence of the tunnel was broken by a deep, heavy growl that grew in volume. Talk about two scared men. There they were in a narrow tunnel, dark as Egypt, with the certainty that just ahead of them was a bear of unknown size that had been fast-ing all winter. They did not stop to consider the matter. Beattie was in the rear going in, but when he turned around he was in the lead and Hazen says that he kept the lead until they both reached the outside. “I don’t know how we got over that wheelbarrow going out,” said Beattie, “but we lost no time,

and you can imagine that we both felt better when we reached the glorious sun shine. It is needless to say that we returned to town with-out any samples of ore from the tunnel face.”

One down … One Harry Gale was arraigned before Magistrate Armstrong a few days ago on the vagrancy charge and given six months. Constables Morris and Baron made the arrest. Gale never worked but lived by modern graft. He received a severe reprimand from the magistrate and the consta-bles were told that if there were any more like him to bring them in to court. This is a move in the right di-rection. If the law is enforced any town can be cleared of its undesir-able characters.

Returned healthy … Dan Mon-roe, who can take two ounces of tea and a pound of bacon and remain three months in the hills and come out fat and healthy, just returned from a successful trapping expedi-tion on Upper Bull River. He brought back a fine bunch of marten, for which he received top price.

Football … A football match was played on the recreation grounds Saturday last between a team com-posed of the boys in the C. P. R. offic-es and a team of town boys. After a well contested game it resulted in a win for the town with a score of 6 goals to 1. An exhibition match will be played next Saturday between the same aggregations on the recre-ation grounds at 4 p. m.

We all want a solid financial rock under our feet when we retire. The problem is… it can be hard to save for retirement, especially if you are

struggling to pay a mortgage, car loan and credit card debt.

The solution? Roll it up. You may be able to roll your existing high interest debt into your mortgage. You’ll be shocked by what you can save in interest.

• Let’s say you now have a $175,000 mortgage, a $25,000 car loan and $25,000 in credit cards. That’s a total debt load of $225,000. As long as you’ve got the equity in your home, you can roll that debt into a new $233,000 mortgage (that includes a charge to break the existing mortgage: a fee that is often well worth the savings) and you could knock about $921 OFF your total monthly debt payment. That’s huge.

Here’s where you can start building your � nancial rock:• Talk to us about adding an additional $25,000 to your mortgage so you can make an RRSP contribution

(assuming you have contribution room). Even with the extra amount on your mortgage, your new monthly payment is STILL $803 per month less. Better still, you’ll be eligible for a $10,000 tax refund for your contribution (assuming a 40% marginal tax bracket).

Now that you’ve got a lower monthly payment and maybe a tax refund, see if you can put some of that extra money against your mortgage principal or into an RESP or TFSA. Roll up your debt. Build your fi nancial rock for retirement.

*3.5% current mortgage, 3% new mortgage, 25 year am. Credit cards 19.5% and car loan 7%, both at 5 year am. OAC. Subject to change. For illustration purposes only.

That’s rock and roll, baby!

Submit tedIn honour of World Autism

Awareness Day, the Cranbrook Public Library hosted a Light It Up Blue event on April 1 at the Cranbrook Public Library. There was story time for the kids and each child got to colour a puzzle piece that was joined together to make a gigantic puzzle, which is currently being displayed at the library over the next week to raise awareness for Autism.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), celebrated each

year on April 2, was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 to shine a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis.

Autism is one of only three health issues to be recognized with its own day by the United Nations. WAAD activities in-crease world knowledge of au-tism and impart information about the importance of early di-agnosis and early intervention. Additionally, WAAD celebrates the unique talents and skills of persons with autism around the

world.On World Autism Awareness

Day, Autism Speaks celebrates its international Light It Up Blue Campaign. Thousands of iconic landmarks, communities, busi-nesses and homes across the globe unite by shining bright blue lights in honor of the millions of individuals and families around the world affected by autism.

Go down to the library and check out the puzzle as well as the other displays of information and books on autism.

Stephen miSkulinNearly every min-

ute of every day, para-medics across British Columbia are dis-patched to a medical call. When minutes could affect a pa-tient’s outcome, para-medics want to get there as quickly and safely as possible.

How You Can Help:

Pull to the side – When you see or hear emergency lights and siren, drivers are re-quired by law to pull to the closest shoul-der and stop when it is safe to do so. Slam-ming on the brakes or pulling over suddenly is unsafe and could cause other accidents. Please signal, pull over and gradually come to a stop.

Indicate - In heavy traffic, you may not be able to pull over but if you put your hazard lights on, this indi-cates that you have seen paramedics but can’t go anywhere right now. If they know you can’t pull over, the paramedics

can drive on the shoul-der or look for alternate routes around your ve-hicle.

Focus - Focus on your driving, avoid being distracted and stay alert. This will help you react appropriately when ambulances are approaching.

Noise - Ambulance lights and sirens stand out at night and make paramedics very visible to traffic and pedestri-ans but in the day, it is harder to see the lights and hear ambulance si-rens. Keep the noise level down in your vehi-cle so you can hear or see an approaching emergency vehicle with the lights and siren on,

and, prepare to get out of the way.

In 2013/2014, BCEHS paramedics responded to 2,018 medical emer-gencies that required emergency lights and siren response in Cran-brook. When you see the emergency lights flashing and hear the siren, please pull over – you could help save a life.

What are allergies?Allergies are a reaction from your body’s immune system to a nonthreatening foreign substance (ie. grass, dust, pollen) causing annoying and sometimes life threatening physical symptoms. There are different types of allergies or immune reactions and this will only be covering the seasonal allergies that are mediated by a substance from your immune system known as IgE. The body releases IgE in response to the foreign material leading to a release of histamine from mast cells ultimately causing those familiar symptoms of itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, scratchy throat and blocked sinuses. Note: Anaphylactic reactions can be fatal and if you are experiencing any dif� culty breathing or feeling of the throat closing seek immediate medical attention. What can you do to reduce allergy symptoms?The following ideas may help reduce the symptoms you experience during the allergy season and are in no particular order. Always consult a health professional before beginning any supplement regime.

1. Local Honey – It has been theorized that a spoonful of local honey will contain most, if not all of the local pollens in minute doses. Taking a few spoonfuls of this honey may desensitize the body to the pollens leading to a reduction of symptoms.

2. Quercetin – A compound found in many fruits and vegetables as well as black and green teas. It acts as a mast cell stabilizer to limit the release of histamine and lessen the severity of the allergic reaction. It is best if taken every day starting a few weeks before the beginning of the allergy season and throughout.

3. Buffered Vitamin C – Helps regulate the immune system and decrease its overreaction to non-harmful substances.

4. Nasal Rinse/Neti Pot – This will help keep your sinuses clear and avoid the accumulation of allergic materials in the nasal passages. Ensure you use � ltered water with saline.

5. Bromelain – Acts as an anti-in� ammatory agent and is often paired with quercetin to increase absorption and effect. The most common source of bromelain comes from the stem of pineapple.

6. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) – Taken in the form of a tea or tincture, this herb has great anti-allergic and anti-in� ammatory activity. It is also very nourishing to the body.

7. Grapeseed Extract – A potent anti-oxidant that can stabilize mast cells and reduce in� ammation.

8. Probiotics – Multiple “friendly” bacterial strains and adequate dosing of probiotics will help regulate immune function.

9. Rosemary (Rosmarinus of� cinalis) – Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid which has anti-allergic, anti-in� ammatory and anti-microbial activity. It is also a great anti-oxidant and the spice can be easily added into any meal.

10. Avoidance – By far the most effective treatment, but not always possible.

Trying these simple steps at home may help you in your quest to combat those irritating allergy symptoms during the peak season. For more information on allergy treatments or questions regarding Naturopathic medicine please feel free to contact us.

WILDFIRE PROTECTION...

2

In 2004, Government established the Strategic Wildfi re Prevention Initiative Program where local governments can apply for

funding to reduce wildfi re risk around their communities. UBCM administers the program in collaboration with the Province and the First Nations Emergency Services Society of BC.

We are now providing an additional $5 Million to support of the Strategic Wildfi re Prevention Initiative program. Proposals for

this additional funding will be implemented in early April and application details will be posted on the UBCM website. The new funding will focus on prescription and fuel treatment projects in communities that are facing higher than average wildfi re risks.

Between 2004 and 2014 the program provided $62 million to help local governments and First Nations signifi cantly reduce wildfi re risks

around their communities. Government remains committed to helping communities across BC protect their communities from the serious risk of wildfi re.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intuition will guide you through the day. You’ll sense when plans are going to fall apart or when there is a need for a change. Your unpredictability could take over, resulting in an unexpected event or happening. Tonight: Get as much done as possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The thought that you might be on the verge of completing a long-term goal could have your mind running on over-drive. Be careful not to make a last-minute error. A call from someone you care about is likely to present you with a different perspective. Tonight: Get a little naughty. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tension could be building. You need to slow down rather than race around and try to accom-plish everything on your to-do list; otherwise, you’re likely to make an error. Keep an even pace, and don’t give in to the need to be a little crazy. Tonight:

Happily head home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will tell it like it is. Pressure builds as a call comes in request-ing that you handle a certain matter. Trying to accomplish everything you want to do could be difficult. Relax between each errand, and your effectiveness will increase. Tonight: Catch up on several friends’ news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Hold off on making any big pur-chases right now, even if they are work-related or necessary for some other reason. Within days, you will see a better offer. A loved one suddenly might act up or try to get past a barrier. You will enjoy the change of pace. Tonight: Think “weekend.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be involved in a situa-tion that is difficult or testy. Tap into your ingenuity, and you will discover that you have few prob-lems and a good solution. Listen to your inner voice -- it will prove to be right-on. Tonight: Act as if it were Friday night. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can count on someone else

coming through for you. You might have put some distance between you and this person in the past, but it would be wise to reach out to him or her now. You will gain a new perspective as a result. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A friend who has a lot to offer will be available to support you. Communication could become intense, with more meaning involved than usual. Think about what is being said. Be aware of how many people really care about you. Tonight: Let the fun begin! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have been unusually quiet as of late; however, news will fly in from a distance that allows you to become more carefree. Use caution with your funds, as you easily could make an error. Your image might need to be updated. Tonight: A must ap-pearance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be willing to take a less emo-tional stance with a problem. Detach and try to walk in some-

one else’s shoes. Once you grasp where this person might be coming from, a resolution will appear and you’ll understand the importance of empathy. To-night: Consider taking off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can’t avoid dealing with an important associate. Make a point of working with the situ-ation and the people involved; you will be far more comfortable as a result. A friend who has been distant might be in a bet-ter mood. Make the most of the moment. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, as it might be too exhausting and time-con-suming to get others to agree with you right now. Simply make your suggestion and let go. If matters become chaotic, trust that your words will ring a bell. What could be better? Tonight: Just don’t be alone. BORN TODAY Painter Max Ernst (1891), singer/songwriter Marvin Gaye (1939), actor Christopher Meloni (1961)

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Jerry” for 10 years. We each have adult daughters from previous relationships. Jerry has a peculiar relationship with his daughter, “Serena.” She was taken from him by her mother at a very early age, and he did not see her again until she was 13. At age 15, she got into a fight with her mother and came to live with Jerry. He and his roommate allowed the girl to drink liquor and use their car. At some point, she was found in Jerry’s bed having sex with a strange man. She also ran up $1,000 in telephone charges calling her boyfriend back home. When Serena went back to Mom, I moved in with Jerry. But Serena would call at all hours of the night. When she had another fight with Mom, Jerry invited her back without asking me. I put a lock on the phone, and Serena became angry and returned to Mom. After that, her rela-tionship with Jerry was on-and-off for 10 years. Jerry now visits Serena and her young son twice a year for six weeks at a time, which drives me nuts. I find her to be ma-nipulative and toxic and don’t care to deal with her. Last month, Jerry insisted I talk to her when she phoned at 3 a.m., and all she did was scream at me for 30 minutes. Jerry backed her up. I told Jerry that Serena needs to apolo-gize. I am upset by the way Jerry behaves toward her. When she is ill, he waits on her hand and foot, but when I was in a motor-cycle crash, he expected me to get up and cook dinner. Jerry screams at me, yet he is all sweetness when speaking to Serena. He does nothing around the house other than take out the garbage, while I work full time, and all he does is criticize me. He wants me to embrace Serena the way he does, but I cannot do it. I’m depressed and miserable. What should I do? -- Sec-ond Place Dear Second: Jerry has put Serena first, which means he will always take her side in any argument with you, and she knows it. Don’t expect any apologies. The ques-tion is what to do about your marriage, which sounds unhappy and stressful. Get some counseling, with or without Jerry, and figure out whether you are better off with or without him. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Cring-ing in Exercise Class,” who complained about a woman who chewed gum during classes. I’m surprised the instructor al-lows it. It is a safety hazard. The woman could inhale the gum and get it stuck in her windpipe. I bet the insurance company that covers the exercise facility would put an end to anyone chewing gum posthaste. -- Better Practice Your Heimlich Maneuver Dear Better: You make an excellent point that we had not considered. With the amount of exertion and breathing one does during exercise, the gum could eas-ily end up where it shouldn’t. Thanks for weighing in. Dear Readers: We are carrying on Ann Landers’ tradition that April 2 be set aside as Reconciliation Day, a time to make the first move toward mending broken re-lationships. It also would be the day on which we agree to accept the olive branch extended by a former friend or estranged family member and do our best to start over.

SIMS, Percy

1926 – 2015

On Friday evening, March 27, 2015, Percy Sims passed away peacefully at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 88 years. Percy was born in Invermere, BC on May 5, 1926 to Percy and Bessie (Nelson) Sims. He was a Veteran of World War 2.

Percy married his wife, Marian on August 10, 1949 and was blessed with five children. He and Marian lived in Kimberly for 30 years and by Koocanusa Lake for 25 years. He and Marian have truly enjoyed their life in the Western Lodge. Percy has always been a very avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed a lifetime of taking remote trips into the bush of the Cariboo in central BC to either hunt or fish. It was something he never tired of. In the last 10 years, he enjoyed driving into the bush in the area with his wife, his daughter and his dog. He spent countless hours with his granddaughter Natalie and her two kids, Luke and Rowan. They brought him great joy in the last few years. Of all the things he enjoyed to do, his greatest pleasure was his family. He loved when his children and grandchildren would drop in to the Western Lodge for a visit. He was very proud to show off his family members.

Left to mourn his passing is his beloved wife of 65 years, Marian; his children; Harvey, David (Kellee), Charlie, Raymond (Loretta) and Marthel.

Robert Franklin Esser “Bob”

1939 – 2015

It is with great sorrow that we announce Robert’s passing on Thursday, March 26, 2015 in Cranbrook, BC at 75 years of age.

Robert was born on May 30, 1939 in Lethbridge, AB and spent the last 34 years living in Cranbrook.

He enjoyed being outdoors in the East Kootenay in all of the seasons. He loved camping, waterskiing, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and gardening.

Robert was a licensed heavy duty mechanic, truck driver and self-taught body man and painter. He made good use of his dream garage – although it got too small for all his projects! There was very little he could not repair or build.

Retirement allowed him and his wife to travel to many different parts of the world. His priority in life always remained constant - his family, particularly his beloved granddaughters.

Robert is survived by his wife Sue of 51 years, his son Michael (Lori), his daughter Michelle (Phil) and his granddaughters Amanda, Megan and Ashley. Also, left to mourn his passing, are his sister Ruth (Howard), numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Robert was predeceased by his parents Walter and Annie and his brother Melvin.

A celebration of life for Robert will be held on Monday, April 6, 2015 at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in Robert’s honour may do so to the: Stars Foundation, 1441 - Aviation Park NE, Box 570, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 8M7 or the: Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Part Two of TwoDear Frustrated and

Frantic:Last week my guides

answered your ques-tions and I was explain-ing to you about the chakra meditation tech-nique. Last week we left off explaining the fifth chakra and this week we will finish with the 6th and 7th chakras and some additional infor-mation perhaps you may find interesting.

The sixth chakra is called your third eye chakra. It’s sits above the bridge of your nose in between your two eyebrows. The colour for this chakra is indigo. If you have trouble see-ing how to solve situa-tions or seeing people for who they really are this is the chakra that needs to be activated. The seventh chakra is the God like force. This is the chakra that con-nects you to your God, guides and angels. The colour for this chakra is

violet. It sits slightly above the head and does not touch the body.

In order to remember the colours I always teach my classes to re-member the first name of Roy, middle initial G., last name is Biv, hence Roy G. Biv. This name gives you the first letter of the colours of the seven chakras and the colours of the rainbow.

To activate the chakras you always start from the bottom up. This means you start with your fear chakra, which is red and located at the tip of the tailbone in front of the spine. Start the red ball of ener-gy; see it swirling as fast as you can. Then shoot the red out like a beam of red light from this area. You have now acti-vated the red chakra. Put a wheel at the end of this chakra. It can be any type of wheel that you would like. If the wheel is wobbly then this is a sign the chakra

is not balanced. Try to balance the wheel as best as you can then spin it as fast as you can. When you have accom-plished this step you have now balanced the base chakra. Now see the wheel melt into the red beam of light and bring the beam of light back into your body and creatively visualize your favourite flower protect-ing this chakra. This means take the petals of the flower and see it cover the chakra. You have now covered and protected your base chakra. You have now activated, balanced and protected that fear based chakra. Continue doing the same exercise for each chakra. When ex-plaining or reading this process of the chakras it may seem to you that it can be quite time con-suming. However in re-ality if you practice this meditation you can do this meditation for all seven chakras in less

than 4 to 5 minutes. The more you practice the better you get. The bet-ter you get the more you will feel the effects of this exercise.

There is a difference of opinion with some people who feel the chakra areas should stay open. It has been my experience as well as others and of course good down home com-mon sense to always close or protect your chakras once they are energized and balanced. It keeps them stable and they are not wide open to other people’s ener-gies, which naturally ab-sorb into your aura. For example: If your heart chakra is open and you see or feel something that gives you heartache then the physical body or the heart will feel it more intensely if that chakra is open. This is not a good thing for the physical body because each chakra is also af-fected and connected to

each of your organs like the liver, kidneys and so on. However, that is a lesson for another time. Do not forget to put on your own special type of music that is slow and has some flow. The music will help you relax and enjoy this creative visualization medita-tion. If you do this chakra meditation 4 to 5 minutes per day you will see the emotional and physical results in about 3 to 4 weeks. Good luck, give it an honest try you have nothing to lose and perhaps may achieve some balance in your life.
