A flat tax fight CAROLYN GRANT Bulletin Editor Kimberley City Coun- cil had a robust discus- sion around the flat tax Monday evening, with Coun. Kent Goodwin leading the charge to start the process of end- ing the flat tax and Mayor Don McCormick arguing that it resulted in a net zero for the city and could in fact slow Kimberley’s new start housing, which has been doing well. The flat tax was brought into play years ago to try to compensate for widely varying prop- erty values in Kimberley. In the early 2000s for ex- ample, you could have a house in the downtown area valued at $50,000 while a new home on the ski hill might be valued at $600,000 or more. The flat tax meant that both the properties paid the same amount as a por- tion of their taxes rather than relying solely on the mill rate. Goodwin has argued against the flat tax for some time, saying it was unfair and regressive. He campaigned on that idea in 2014. “Kimberley is one of only five communities in B.C. with a flat tax,” he told Council. “And our flat tax is the highest in B.C. Reducing it slowly over the next 10 years is a good step forward.” Coun. Bev Middle- brook, who called into the meeting as she has been on medical leave, said she strongly sup- ported Goodwin’s mo- tion. Coun. Albert Hoglund said he wouldn’t support it; it was wrong, he said. “The flat tax was put in when the mill rate was outrageous for higher level homes,” he said. “ I don’t think that dis- parity has changed that much. I’m afraid it will stop the building we have now. This will increase the taxes for higher level homes substantially.” Coun. Darryl Oakley said he did support it and thought it was a good thing if done slowly over ten years. “The time has come to say goodbye to the flat tax,” he said. Mayor Don McCor- mick said that the flat tax was designed to use in conjunction with general taxation. In 2015 the flat tax accounted for 27 percent of general taxa- tion.

The capture process has wrapped up for a regional urban deer translation project, as 60 mule deer have been re-located from four com-munities to winter range areas.

The project, part of a highly anticipated study being undertaken by Vast Resource Solutions and contributing part-ners, has been attaching radio collars and trans-locating urban deer in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere and Elkford to winter range areas.

“We’ve moved all the deer we’re going to move and now we are monitoring the collar data for how the deer fare, where they’re mov-ing, and their survivor-ship,” said Ian Adams, the senior wildlife biolo-gist with Vast Resource Solutions. “For the most part, the field compo-nent for the work is done.”

Adams cautioned that the project is a sci-ence-based trial and not intended to be a tool for managing urban deer populations—yet.

“It’s certainly a very complex issue and if this

is successful, it allows a non-lethal alternative to reducing numbers, but I don’t think anybody should be suggesting that this is going to solve our urban deer ques-tions,” he added.

Moving 60 urban deer was within the original target, Adams said.

“We had hoped to get 10-15 animals per com-munity. Our objective was to learn from the process, how the pro-cess works, not neces-sarily to move as many deer as possible,” Adams said. “So we were suc-cessful in that way. We deployed all our radio collars that we had, 28 radio collars went out. There was one cougar mortality from a Kim-berley deer, that collar went out again on a deer from Elkford.”

Over the last few weeks, urban deer were captured using non-le-thal traps in urban com-munities, sedated and transported out to re-gional wilderness rang-es. Of those 60 deer that were translocated, 29 were fitted with radio collars that will send a location to a satellite every 13 hours over the next year and a half—or until the radio collar batteries run out.

If a collar doesn’t move for eight hours, an

Biologists from Vast Resource Solutions are pictured tagging an immobilized deer during the recent Cranbrook translocation project. The attached radio collar is visible around the ungulate’s neck.

Tracking translocated urban deer

alert is sent out and Adams assumes the ani-mal has died, which will prompt a trip to the exact location of the col-lar to determine the cause of the deer’s mor-tality.

The collar data will provide valuable infor-mation to Adams and

provincial wildlife biol-ogists to see if migration patterns of mule deer that have been habituat-ed in urban communi-ties follow that of non-urban mule deer.

“Perhaps the next biggest question is whether the translocat-ed mule deer migrate

upslope later in the spring,” Adams asked. “Certainly some urban deer stay in town year round, others likely do migrate. It will be inter-esting to see what the deer we’ve moved do.”

Within the context of using translocation as an urban deer manage-

ment tool, there are nu-merous questions re-maining.

The translocation project had a number of partners, including sig-nificant staff time from provincial wildlife biol-ogists from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Oper-

ations. Volunteers and in-kind assistance also included members of local rod and gun clubs, a ungulate anesthesiol-ogist with the University of Calgary and the mu-nicipalities themselves, which kicked in some funding.

From page 1“The flat tax taxes

lower value homes at the same rate as higher value. It keeps the mill rate taxes lower and in a community like Kim-berley it’s important,” he said. “We have to keep tax rates attractive for resident attraction. We are in competition with other communities on these lifestyle immi-grants.”

The direct result of knocking $80 off the flat tax, the mayor says, is a three per cent increase in the mill rate. And that will be a really big in-crease for homes valued at over $400,000, which is about what it costs to build a new home these days.

“The assertion is that lower tax properties are owned by people unable

to afford the flat tax,” McCormick said. “But there is a tax deferral system in place for those who can’t afford the taxes. You defer them until the home is sold. A large number of the lower priced properties are vacation homes and rentals. The landlords can afford to pay the flat tax.

“Kimberley relies on residential taxes. 86% of our taxes are residen-tial.”

McCormick argued that Council had not fully researched the consequences of lower-ing the flat tax. He of-fered a deal — defeat the motion and a task force to examine it more closely would be formed.

Council didn’t take the offer. Councillors

Goodwin, Oakley, Mid-dlebrook and Kitto voted to reduce the flat tax by $80 this year.

McCormick was dis-appointed in the vote.

“It doesn’t work with our strategic priorities. There’s no new money even though the majori-ty will pay more. We are trying to keep this year’s tax increase to 3.46 per-cent. With this the mill rate will go up a further three percent.

“We are going to price ourselves out of the mar-ket with these mill rate increases. If we could get rid of the flat tax without detrimental effect, that would be one thing.”

In the end, McCor-mick says as it stands it’s only for this year.

“I guess at the end of the day, taxpayers will weigh in on this.”

Flat tax fight Smokers not get-ting the message in Kimberley’s

PlatzlC arolyN Gr aNT

Bulletin Editor

Kimberley recently reviewed their smoking bylaw and smoking in the Platzl is no longer allowed.

But apparently not too many people have heard that message, says Coun. Darryl Oak-ley.

“I spent quite a bit of time in the Platzl this past weekend,” he told Council. “There were a lot of smokers.”

Oakley wondered if

the bylaw was being en-forced at all.

Oakley was assured that there would soon be no smoking signs up in the Platzl soon, and the hope was peer pres-sure would see fewer people smoking.

He said that he hoped peer pressure would work but when he tried to gently sug-gest to a few people that smoking wasn’t al-lowed, “It was suggested I move to another coun-try.”

T here is absolutely no reason why I should suddenly have remembered Bill Ph. There never are any real sea-

sons for anything in this crazy world, just pitiless indifference, but my memory of that particular Bill popped up into my mind and, although we did nothing memorable together nor to each other, except the enjoy-ment that I got out of the memory of height-deprived Bill fishing from a bit of a dam where ripples in the creek, dancing in the sunlight, occasionally reached up into his under-wear and caused him some discomfort and me much merriment.

Bill and I taught in adjoin-ing classrooms for a while and, because we both came from Britain, we were inclined to have sim-ilar weird senses of humour. By chance, we bumped into each other in a downtown bank and Bill was with a preacher, back-wards white collar and all. Bill politely in-troduced me to his religious friend by say-ing, “This is Pete Warland. He doesn’t be-lieve in God.”

There was no sudden flash of light; I wasn’t struck down but, outside on the street, that minister of some church or other grabbed me in a choke-hold and pointed down the street. “Who do’you think created that heavenly magnificence?” he asked me, his dander up and showing on the shiny black of his suit. I peered at the

wires stringing across the road and finally focused on the distant mountains and thought quickly.

Ducking and weaving, I replied, “If you had been up there in that particular heaven lost in a storm with no shelter, no food, nor hope, you’d not think of it as magnificent or heavenly.” Then I escaped, planning awful revenge.

At one time I had so many associates called Bill that, when I called in at the city

hall many, many years ago and told my very young son I was going in to pay my bill, the child asked me, ”Which uncle is that?”

Anyway, in my own youth practically every

other boy was labelled William and imme-diately called Bill. Many of the girls were also called William except those who were christened Jean, which, in itself is a French boy’s name, and there were millions of them. My dearly beloved future wife was called Jean as were most of the other girls who went with her on that first day to regis-ter for school and caused the teacher to throw up her hands and distribute different names to different girls; my own love was thenceforth called Jim.

I haven’t done my usual extensive re-search on the name Bill because, frankly, who cares but, it seems that William is a perverse English version of Guillaume, the

actual name of the Bastard of Normandy who conquered England in 1066 by cheat-ing and shooting the proper English king in the eye.

Anyway, from then, English history books are full of such characters as Bill Shakespeare and Bill Caxton, who invented printing so that school-kids just had to study his name-sake’s scribblings, and King Bill who invented oranges or something.

Now, back to people that I actually liked: there is Bill P. of Invermere with whom I have the most marvellous trips in the high country; Bill I, Ph.d., who studied oceans from about as far as he could get from them in Boulder Colorado; Bill G, whose nasty dissection experiments in his biology class-es had frogs’ guts raining down into my cupboard in which were stored my valu-able documents like those collectible Play-boys; Bill Baillie, my cousin, who was named strategically after his father, who took off, leaving my aunt in the lurch (a very small house) with three kids to manage while the popular tune of the time hap-pened to be ‘Won’t you come home, Bill Baillie;’ and, of course, the late Bill H, who was such a curmudgeon that, had he been given permission, would have shot any Al-bertan that dare hunt or fish in his Koote-nays.

Anyway, there’s the mailman at the door; I don’t believe that he’s a William, a Liam or even a Wilheim but he’s probably packing another Bill for me.

These are the Bills I’ve known

For the townsman

N estled at the southern end of the Columbia valley, as the Purcells meet the Rockies Cranbrook and

Kimberley enjoy an abundance of natural treasures.

Despite the beauty of our surroundings our area is not immune to intimate partner violence and the physical, mental and emotional costs that come with it. Intimate partner violence is defined not only by physical and sexual assaults but also by ongoing mental, emotional and financial abuse.

The effects of abuse and trauma contin-ue long after the violence has stopped, in the forms of persistent physical and men-tal health disorders, increased suicidality, decreased income, increased substance use and difficulty forming new relation-ships.

Intimate partner violence thrives be-hind closed doors and leaving an abusive relationship can be a long and dangerous process. Accessing non-judgmental, well-informed support is essential for as-sisting victims, whether or not they leave their abusers, to reduce the risk they face.

In our area the Ending the Violence Association of BC supports two agencies in working with victims of intimate partner violence.

Summit Community Services offers women’s and men’s individual counselling to survivors of trauma, community-based

victims services, police-based victim’s ser-vices and Kimberley women’s outreach services while the Canadian Mental Health Association provides Kootenay Haven Transition House, Haven Gardens Sec-ond-stage housing and Cranbrook wom-en’s outreach services. Together Summit Community Services and Canadian Men-tal Health have partnered to chair a collab-orative group to increase our community’s knowledge about intimate partner vio-lence and the resources available to com-bat it. In an effort to work together to create safety and systemic change through part-nerships and information sharing the Community Coordination for Safety in Re-lationships Committee of Cranbrook and Kimberley (CCSR) includes members of both non-profit and governmental agen-cies, all focused on supporting healthy family and intimate partner relationships.

From Monday, April 11 to Sunday, April 17 the CCSR will be spear heading our community’s Prevention of Violence Against Women Week. This week is recog-nized provincially in a bid to open the closed doors victims and survivors come in contact with and to encourage all com-munity members to speak out against inti-mate partner violence. As our community begins speaking with one voice against in-timate partner violence the acceptability of abuse will continue to decrease.

The Social Planning Society of Cran-brook is partnering to support the CCSR’s

Prevention of Violence Against Women week and all the information about events will be found on www.cranbrookclicks.com. The website launched in 2015 and provides access and information on all community non-profit agencies and sup-ports that community members may need to access when building new skills and ca-pacities. In easing connection to supports the website hopes to remove one of the barriers people may face.

In working together to provide a com-munity wide network of supports, with in-dividual plans tailored to each victim and survivors needs and goals the impacts of abuse will be reduced and future intimate partner violence will be prevented. To add your voice to the movement stay tuned to www.cranbrookclicks and join the CCSR for Violence Against Women Week activi-ties.

You may also like to follow our Face-book page www.facebook.com/Cran-brook/Social/Planning/ where meeting details and activities will also be posted. The March meeting of the Social Planning Society is scheduled for Monday, March 21, starting at 1 pm – 3 pm at the Salvation Army.

K ey City Theatre’s inau-gural Suitcase Project premiered its final

performance Thursday, March 10, in the theatre’s Live Lobby Lounge. The audience took part in a dramatic piece that focused on conformity and isolation, with idevices as the central metaphor. In a so-ciety where we are all com-pletely in thrall to our devices and the instant communica-tion, someone without one is treated as a curiosity worthy of further study, like the savage in Huxley’s ‘Brave New World.’

The Suitcase Project launched as an innovative youth project in February, a series of dramatic workshops for young ages 14-20 de-signed meant to enhance their theatrical skills.

The Suitcase Project was led by Beth Turcon, Drama teacher at Laurie Middle School. The participants de-veloped their ideas through the use of a suitcase filled with nondescript items, meant inspire improvisation and innovative thought.

“It’s an opportunity for young people to experience devised theatre in a safe and creative space” Turcon said in an earlier release. “In de-

Out from the suitcase comes drama

vised theatre they create something from nothing, with no limitations. It is an opportunity to open creative channels, think outside the

box and create something meaningful to them. The hope is that what is created will communicate something meaningful to the partici-

pants and even incite import-ant changes.”

Hoflin stars once again as Ice shutout Oil KingsVeteran goaltender Wyatt Hoflin turns in 51-save performance as Kootenay Ice blank Edmonton Oil Kings

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin (#30) peers between Oil Kings centre Lane Bauer (#25) and Ice defenceman Dallas Hines (#8) during first period action at Western Financial Place Tuesday night.

Taylor rocc aFor the second con-

secutive night, the Koo-tenay Ice did all they could to stand in the way of a team fighting for a playoff position. And for the second con-secutive night, goalten-der Wyatt Hoflin made more than 50 saves.

Tuesday night at Western Financial Place, the 21-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., was absolutely perfect, turn-ing aside all 51 shots sent his way en route to a 2-0 shutout victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings.

“He’s phenomenal, he’s calm in the net and I’m kind of used to it,” said Ice alternate cap-tain Matt Alfaro, regard-ing Hoflin. “He had one of these performances last year, I think it was 50 saves in Medicine Hat. I’ve seen it before, but there’s no words, really. He’s phenomenal.

“You don’t really know what he’s going to do. Sometimes he’ll

come out in the butter-fly, sometimes he slides at you with one knee, sometimes in practice he’ll dive at you or stack the pads. He’s not your normal goalie, but it works.”

After turning aside an astounding 56 shots in a 4-3 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers Saturday night, it might not have been surpris-ing to see Hoflin with the night off in favour of backup Declan Hobbs.

According to Koote-nay Ice head coach Luke Pierce, that was never in the cards.

“He deserves to play out the stretch,” Pierce said Tuesday. “For ev-erything he has done for this organization, this community, for the franchise and for this team this year. He’s been a vital piece. He deserves it.

“[Hoflin] takes care of himself so well. I’m not too worried about his fatigue. I might give

him the day off [Wednes-day]. He might have earned that.”

In total, Hoflin has turned aside an awe-in-spiring 107 of the 110 shots sent his way over his past two appearanc-es, good enough for a fantastic .973 save per-centage.

“I’m not good at most sports, but I’ve kind of found one I’m good at right now,” Hof-lin said with a smile after collecting his sixth-career shutout.

“Last game I played good, but I was still pret-ty unhappy with the three goals that went in. I was trying to be better tonight and unfortu-nately for them, I was better tonight and it was kind of the difference in the hockey game.”

On the other side of Hoflin’s miraculous 51-save shutout effort, the Ice received scoring from captain Tanner Lishchynsky and Alfaro.

At the other end of the rink, Cranbrook na-tive Payton Lee did ev-erything possible to give the Oil Kings a chance, turning aside 24 shots. But with no offense to back him, there wasn’t much more the veteran goaltender could do.

While Hoflin was the saving grace for his team Saturday night, Tues-day’s contest with the Oil Kings provided a much different narrative as a competitive Koote-nay Ice squad went toe-to-toe with the visitors through 40 minutes, be-fore capitalizing on spe-cial teams and effective-ly protecting a lead over the final 20 minutes.

Lishchynsky broke the scoreless tie only 1:41 into the third peri-od with a power-play effort for his eighth goal of the season.

Sneaking down into the slot, the 21-year-old native of Saskatoon jumped on a rebound and popped the loose puck past Lee for a 1-0 lead.

From there, most fin-gers in Western Finan-cial Place were likely chewed down to the bone.

Hoflin saved some of his best work for the final period after his captain provided a one-

goal edge.Oil Kings defence-

man Brayden Gorda jumped into the rush, landing a beautiful pass in prime scoring posi-tion in the Kootenay slot. Wasting no time, the 16-year-old Edmonton native fired in at Hoflin, who powered to the top of his crease with a strong right-to-left push, robbing the rookie blue-liner of a great scoring opportunity.

That save earned a raucous response from the 1,897 in attendance at Western Financial Place. But Hoflin wasn’t finished.

Moments later, Hof-lin left Oil Kings centre Lane Bauer asking the hockey gods why they had forsaken him.

Off an odd-man rush, the left-shooting Bauer took a cross-ice pass and immediately redirected the rubber towards the Ice cage. Somehow, without splitting himself in two, Hoflin stretched left-to-right, knocking the puck out of the air with his blocker arm.

While Bauer looked to the sky, fans in atten-dance looked to the ground as they scooped their jaws off the floor.

With energy buzzing through the building, the big unit for the Ice got to work as they battled for their goaltender, some-thing that wasn’t neces-sarily visible across the board in Saturday’s win over the Tigers.

“You take the lessons and we talked about this in the dressing room after — with a 2-0 lead in the final two minutes, you see Matt Alfaro, Zak Zborosky, Cale Fleury, Tanner Lishchynsky, Austin Wellsby… you knew how hard they wanted to preserve the shutout for their goalten-der,” Pierce said. “That’s the way we need to play for every teammate that we have from start to fin-ish. Some of the blocks and sacrifices that guys made…that’s what we need. It’s a great learning lesson for some of our younger guys on how hard it is to win in this league and some of the things you have to do.”

On a set play, Zbo-rosky sent a gorgeous cross-crease feed to Al-

faro, who banged it home for his 20th goal of the season, in what was the 200th game of his WHL career.

“It’s something that four years ago, I didn’t think I’d accomplish,” Alfaro said of hitting 200 career games. “I’ve earned it and worked hard through summers to improve.

“[The goal] was a play we worked on in practice off the neu-tral-zone draw off the offside. It was a rim in and [Austin] Wellsby was supposed to bump it back. We got in and I thought Zak should have scored on the first play, but it worked out. I really just drove the net, put my stick on the ice and Zborosky hit me.”

After that, the Ice went into lockdown mode. Hoflin continued to rack up the saves, but

the team in front of him did a good job of limit-ing the quality of oppor-tunities, with many pucks fired in from out-side the dots and around the perimeter.

Fleury laid out to block a heavy shot from an Oil Kings rearguard, doing everything in his power to leave it all on the ice in support of his goaltender.

As time wound down, fans stood and applauded in apprecia-tion of the gutsy effort put forth by a young and embattled Kootenay Ice squad that, once again, did not quit.

With Lee at the bench for the extra at-tacker late in the con-test, Hoflin wasn’t satis-fied going home with just the shutout.

Collecting the biscuit at the side of his net and known for his savvy puck-handling abilities, the veteran keeper turned and fired to-wards the empty Ed-monton net.

If there could have been a fairy-tale ending to Tuesday’s festivities, a goal from Wyatt Hoflin to ice the win would have been it.

Unfortunately for Hoflin, there was an Oil King just inside the Koo-tenay blueline to get in the way and dash that dream. Still, the mo-

mentary excitement was exhilarating.

The win goes into the books as the sec-ond-consecutive victory for the Ice (12-52-6-0), while the loss left the Oil Kings (29-34-6-1) vul-nerable and only two points ahead of the Ti-gers (29-36-3-2) for the final playoff spot in the WHL’s Eastern Confer-ence.

Both teams have two games remaining on the slate. The Oil Kings wrap the season in a home-and-home series against the Red Deer Rebels (43-24-1-2), while the Tigers take on the divi-sion-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes (45-23-1-1) in their own home-and-home to close the cam-paign.

The Ice finish the season in a home-and-home battle with the rival Calgary Hitmen (40-26-2-2), with the last outing at Western Fi-nancial Place slated for Friday at 7 p.m.

Notes:  The Ice went without the services of RW Roman Dymacek (lower body), RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder) and LW Jared Legien… The Oil Kings scratched G Patrick Dea (lower body), G Alec Dillon (lower body), F Kobe Mohr (upper body), F Kole Gable (upper body) and D Jordan Dawson.

It was competitive for two periods, but the Kimberley Dynamiters exploded for four goals in the final frame to coast to a 6-1 victory over the Beaver Valley Nitehawks to open the first game of the Koote-nay Conference final on Tuesday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Sawyer Hunt scored twice, while Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brou-wer was a brick wall in net, making 27 saves for the win. Kimberley scoring also came from Eric Buckley, Jason Richter, Tyler Van Stein-burg and Jared Marchi.

Michael Pruss was the lone response from the Nitehawks, potting a shorthanded goal on a Kimberley turnover. Beaver Valley goalten-der Tallon Kramer had a tough night, with 27 saves on 33 shots.

Nitro head coach Jerry Bancks praised his team’s effort.

“I was really pleased with our start to the game, I thought we car-ried the play in the first period,” Bancks said. “I thought our power play, we didn’t want to score badly enough, we let the goalie see too many pucks and at this level, goalies will save what they can see.

Second period, when they got the shorthand-ed goal, which is the first one we’ve given up all year, they kind of took it to us a little bit, but we weathered that storm thanks to Tyson Brouw-

er, who is a phenomenal goaltender.

“And the third peri-od, I thought we took over and got through to their goalie and thought we played a really solid period.”

It was a goaltending battle between Brouwer and Kramer for 40 min-utes, but Kimberley’s of-fence sparked for four goals in the third period — two of which were 12 seconds apart — and proved to be the differ-ence.

Beaver Valley head coach Terry Jones ad-mitted Kramer had a tough third period, but lamented his team’s performance, calling it one of the worst all year.

“I thought it was one of our overall worst ef-forts of the season,” Jones said. “In the first period, we were hanging on and Tallon was terrific in the first period — to keep it 0-0 is a real testament to how good he is.

“Second period, we came out and our deci-sion-making was so poor, you just can’t give a team like that out-numbered rushes and we just continued to do so.”

Kramer allowed four goals in the final period, which is uncharacteris-tic of his numbers, amassing a .920 save percentage and 2.60 goals-against average in the regular season.

“The third period, Tallon had an off-peri-od,” Jones admitted. “He’ll be first to say it and he’ll be way better [Wednesday].”

The Nitros opened

the game with a strong first period, buoyed by two power-play oppor-tunities that got a lot of looks, but nothing past Kramer. Keenan Haase had one of the best chances, slapping a bul-let from the point, but Kramer saw it and flashed the leather for a big save.

Kimberley had four opportunities with the man-advantage, howev-er, they couldn’t con-vert, despite sending a lot of rubber in Kramer’s direction.

“To me, a power-play is all about getting shots on goal, puck retrieval so you can get as many chances as you can. I thought we were a little bit lazy in terms of try-ing to screen the goalie,” Bancks said.

“Other than that, I thought it was good. You gotta want to score more and then to score, you got to take away the sight line and bang in the rebound. They can’t control it because they can’t see it.”

The two teams trad-ed quality chances over the first 20 minutes, with Hunt beating Kramer, but not the post near the end of the frame, keeping it score-less heading into the second period.

A quick strike from Marchi and Hunt just over a minute apart to open the second frame put the Nitros up 2-0. Hunt’s goal, putting the team up by two, came off a botched odd-man rush, as he corralled a loose puck and spun around on the back-

hand to slide the biscuit past Kramer.

The Nitehawks got a bit of life halfway through the period as the Nitros gave up their only shorthanded mark-er of the season off a bad turnover in the defen-sive zone. With Brouwer way out of his net, Pruss intercepted a pass and buried the puck into a wide open cage.

The two teams con-tinued to trade chances, but the Nitros struck twice in quick fashion once again early in the third period.

Richter blitzed down the right wing and snapped a shot past Kramer 4:45 into the frame and 12 seconds later, Buckley beat the Nitehawks goaltender though the five-hole on a rush down the left wing, putting the team up 4-1.

Four minutes later, Haase collected a loose puck in the offensive zone and fired a shot on net, which deflected off of Hunt’s skate and through Kramer.

Van Steinburg round-ed out the scoring with a solo effort, gaining the zone, undressing a Nite-hawks defencemen and sneaking a backhand top shelf for a highlight-reel goal with five minutes left in the game.

Haase, who finished the game with three as-sists, noted that the Ni-tros handled Beaver Val-ley’s physicality well and knew that if they pep-pered Kramer with shots, the goals would come.

“Some of those goals were pretty nice, top

shelf, but I think we just tried to get every shot we could towards the net and make sure they were quality shots,” Haase said.

Game 2 goes down in Kimberley on Wednes-day evening at the Civic Centre, with puck drop at 7 p.m.

The two teams only faced each other twice during the regular sea-son; Kimberley won the opening matchup at 4-2, before escaping with a 4-3 overtime win in their second meeting.

“Anytime you play a

Terry Jones-coached hockey team, they’re a good team,” said Bancks. “Because they’re so suc-cessful year after year, they have players that want to go there, so they recruit good players, they play a good, honest hockey game.

“They’re fairly physi-cal, they skate well and they execute and are fairly disciplined…so it’s a challenge to beat them. They have a tremendous history over there so it’s nice to be up 1-0.”

Even though the two teams have only met

twice, Jones offered his take on the Dynamiters.

“We know their top five players are elite players,” Jones said. “The power-play unit with those five players is very dangerous. Their supporting cast, with guys like Hunt who seem to be on the score-sheet against us all the time, is very, very solid.

“They’re a hard working, well-coached team. We know them well. We’ve studied them, we’ve watched video, we just didn’t play very well tonight.”

aSSoCIaTeD PreSSWASHINGTON - An

NFL official has ac-knowledged a link be-tween football and the brain disease CTE for the first time.

Jeff Miller, the NFL’s senior vice-president for health and safety, spoke about the connection during an appearance Monday at a congressio-nal committee’s round table discussion about concussions.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) asked Miller: “Do you think there is a link between football and degenerative brain disorders like CTE?”

Miller began by refer-

encing the work of Bos-ton University neuropa-thologist Dr. Ann McKee, who has found CTE in the brains of 90 former pro football players.

“Well, certainly, Dr. McKee’s research shows that a number of retired NFL players were diag-nosed with CTE, so the answer to that question is certainly ‘yes,’ but there are also a number of questions that come with that,” Miller said.

Schakowsky repeat-ed the question: “Is there a link?”

“Yes. Sure,” Miller re-sponded.

The NFL has not pre-

viously linked playing football to chronic trau-matic encephalopathy, a disease linked to re-peated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depres-sion and progressive de-mentia. It can only be detected after death.

Miller appeared at the discussion of con-cussions before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce. ESPN first reported Miller’s appearance be-fore the committee.

Just before Miller spoke, McKee was asked the same question about

the link between hits in football and CTE. She re-sponded “unequivocal-ly” there is, and went into details about her re-search findings.

“You asked the ques-tion whether I thought there was a link,” he said. “Certainly based on Dr. McKee’s re-search, there’s a link, because she’s found CTE in a number of re-tired football players. I think that the broader point, and the one that your question gets to, is what that necessarily means and where do we go from here with that information.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Follow your instincts no matter what you are dealing with. As a result, you might come up with some wild, great ideas. Some-one whose feedback you respect will be quite impressed with an idea of yours. This person will step out of your way. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be forced to rethink a plan. Your perspective on a certain problem seems to have changed. Your creativity will open up to many possibilities, as long as you drop self-imposed restrictions. A friend will help you see another path as well. Tonight: Brainstorm away. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Even with your flirtatious ways, you can become quite jealous.

Tonight: Spend time with loved ones.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others are working with you, and you don’t have the normal hassles to deal with. Reach out to someone you have not seen in a while.

You work well in general with one other person. Tonight: Out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It appears as if others are in con-trol right now. Don’t fight the

trend, and allow them to tend to matters that normally are your priority. Assume that you will have extra time, and figure out what you’d like to do with it. Try to squeeze in some fun. Tonight: Where your friends are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You clearly have a lot to get done, and you have the inten-tion to do just that. Keep in mind a recent example of a boss pointing to wasted time. You will do an excellent job of catch-ing up. What is clear is that you find your own rhythm. Trust your beat. Tonight: Clear your desk. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination carries you into new realms with very dif-ferent ideas. Do not deny the inevitable; instead, go with the flow. A friendship draws your attention, perhaps because this person is controlling and/or has profoundly changed. Tonight: Use your creativity well.

Dear Annie: As a youth anti-tobacco advocate, I’m incredibly proud of our country’s progress against tobacco. We’ve cut smoking among high school seniors by nearly 70 percent since 1997. I know we can make the next generation tobacco-free, but we’ve got a lot of work left to do. Tobacco is still the No. 1 cause of preventable death in our country. It kills nearly half a million Americans each year, most of whom started smoking as kids. The tobacco industry spends billions on marketing, and they use slick ads and sweet flavors that attract kids under 21. My state of Hawaii is leading the way in winning this fight. Last year, I joined with other advocates to push for a law prohibiting tobacco sales to anyone under 21. When I testified at a hearing, I realized my voice could make a difference in my community and state. The law passed, and on Jan. 1, Hawaii became the first state to raise the tobacco age to 21. Our U.S. Senator Brian Schatz has introduced a bill in Congress to raise the age nationally. Across America, young people are fighting Big Tobacco. On March 16, we’ll hold Kick Butts Day, a national day of activism sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. We’ll share our stories using #iKickButts. Together, we will create the first tobacco-free generation. -- Sabrina Ray Olaes Dear Sabrina Ray Olaes: That would really be something we all could be proud of. It’s amazing how many young people are still unaware of the long-term dangers of smoking when they pick up that first cigarette. Or they think those risks don’t apply to them, and they can quit any time. It’s not so. We hope our readers will visit kickbuttsday.org to see how they can help. Dear Annie: I am a certified school nurse, but I understand the frustrations of teachers. They are being mandated to teach more and more, with increasing pushes for accountability, and with raises and evaluations tied to test scores. Most are highly educated professionals with a passion for children and education. They are mandated not only to teach the subjects that are important for a student’s education, but also to teach things that should be taught at home. Morality, ethics and character education are now woven into the school’s curriculum. At what point do we hold parents responsible and accountable? You’ve printed letters from those who want schools to teach cursive and how to balance a checkbook. Instead of pointing fingers at schools, I challenge them to take responsibility by teaching these skills at home. There are plenty of websites and online workbooks and tools for teaching various subjects at home. -- Certified School Nurse Dear Nurse: There are many subjects that used to be covered in school, but are no longer part of the curriculum. A lot of folks are upset by this, but times change and kids need different skills today. Some subjects are going to be dropped, and this is where parents and grandparents can fill the void. You want the kids to learn cursive or to make correct change? Here is your opportunity to teach them.

LANE STACEY GEORGE WILLUMEIT

FEBRUARY 17, 1970 - MARCH 8, 2016

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, son, son-in law, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend on March 8, 2016 at Rockyview Hospital in Calgary after succumbing to a sudden illness.

Lane had an avid love of the outdoors all of his life; fishing, hunting, hiking and just being outside. He was a proud family man and family meant everything to him. Those who knew Lane will forever miss his jokes and big heart.

Lane leaves behind the loves of his life; his wife Amanda, daughter Demijalyne, and sons Torrin and Teague

His mother Phyllis Willumeit, Mother and Father-in-law Dwight & Lucille Brown who welcomed him into their family, 4 sisters; Sheila Halisheff (Patrick Wedel) Gail (Keith) Dean, Lorie (Bob) Parsons, Ronda (Ron) Palmer, Sister-in-law Llana Brown (Matt Kelder), nieces Tabatha (Steven) Pelkinen, Amelia Halisheff, Nolla Dean and Harper Desrosiers, Nephews; Richard (Brittany) Salekin, Scott (Brianna) Salekin, Nikolaus Dean, Riely Palmer, Reid Palmer, many aunties, uncles, great nieces & nephews and cousins. All of his brother friends that meant the world to him. Lane was predeceased by his father George Willumeit in 2005.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at the Cranbrook Alliance Church on Friday, March 18 at 1:00pm.

Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Lane is invited to attend and share their stories.

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

World Day of Prayer was held at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church, Cranbrook, March 4. There was a very good attendance. Special music was by Christy Morton, Audrey Stetski and John Dumas besides a dance by Jacqueline Henry (pictured at right). There was a display table with items depicting Cuba as well as pictures showing the culture of the country. Refreshments were served by the Hospitality Committee. Next year, the Salvation Army will host the W.D.P. and the Worship Service will be from the Philippines.
