The venerable Kimberley Pipe Band will turn 90 years old in 2017 — quite a remarkable anniversary.

Kimberley residents may re-member the Pipe Band’s 80th anniversary in 2007, when they threw a Tattoo at the Civic Cen-tre attended by a number of different bands.

For the 90th they want to do the same thing again, maybe even bigger and better.

But planning has to start now in order to book the vari-ous pipe and military bands, and the Pipe Band is looking for a community champion to oversee the big event.

“We are starting the plan-ning now but we’d really like to find a volunteer to help us orga-nize it,” said Liela Cooper from the Kimberley Pipe Band. “We’d

like to have ten bands, both pipe and military and highland dancing. We need to book soon because everyone does their schedules well ahead of time.”

Cooper explained that there will be plenty of sub-commit-tees to assist the chair person, but someone is needed to tie everything together.

The Pipe Band is looking at August of 2017 for the Tattoo, as there is a window during that time of no other conflicting highland events in B.C. and Al-berta.

“Maybe we could even tie it in to the Arts Festival,” she said. “We are open to ideas.”

If you think you could help out, call Liela at 250-427-5642.

The Band has already start-ed fundraising with a 50/50 draw. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold and you have an opportu-nity to win $10,000.

A look at RMI fundingDon McCormick

trying to get changes to Resort

Municipality funding

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley is designat-ed a Resort Municipality by the government of Brit-ish Columbia and as such, receives yearly funding for tourism infrastructure projects.

It has long been a pet peeve of Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick the man-ner in which Resort Mu-nicipality funding is allo-cated, and he has em-barked on a mission to change it.

The first step was get-ting some consensus from other resort municipali-ties, and with seven of the 14 in the Kootenays, Mc-Cormick was able to ascer-tain that other communi-ties would welcome a change as well.

However, the big factor is Whistler. It’s the biggest resort in B.C. and it re-ceives the lion’s share of the yearly funding.

McCormick met with Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden last week.

“It was a good meeting considering I was basically saying ‘will you give up some money for the rest of us?’,” McCormick said.

However, he says there is a way that Whistler would win as well with a change to Resort funding.

“Whistler is a true re-sort. Everything is built around infrastructure. A ton went in because of the Olympics. But now they need to use the money to get people there.

Team Eddy on the changes to the Tax Free Savings Account:

a Tax-Free Savings account (TFSa) is a savings program (not a bank account) that allows canadians to invest funds in an account that grows on a tax-free basis. most canadians put their money into a savings account that pays poorly and is of no long term value. a TFSa works well for short or long term financial goals.

With the recent positive changes to our Tax Free Savings allowable contribution, it is important that you know your limit and have it grow your wealth. We can take a close look at your personal situation and help you get the most from a Tax Free Savings account and every other element in your overall financial plan.

call us to discuss the benefits of our team managing your TFSa for capital growth and putting together a personal financial plan that is suited to your goals and lifestyle.

Ben Rogers Band to perform at the ByngFerdy BeLLand

“I love being on the road,” says Vancouver’s a l ternat ive-countr y folk-rocker Ben Rogers. “Of late I’ve been mostly touring with the band, and it has been an abso-lute blast, but I also don’t mind the solitude of touring solo. Flat tires, bad diet, scuzzy hotel rooms and un-wanted encounters with humans, beasts or oth-erwise could be regard-ed as the downsides of touring. But there are ups and downs to every walk of life. The way I see it, as long as it makes a good story? Then it’s worthwhile.”

And speaking of worthwhile, Ben Rogers and his band promise to make their coming per-formance at the legend-ary Byng Roadhouse on the evening of Wednes-day May 20th as worth-while as it gets.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Rogers de-fies his towering sur-roundings of glass and steel by embracing the

inspirations of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, George Jones, and Tom Waits into a unique modern style which the Georgia Straight de-scribes as “...a dark cha-risma you have to expe-rience live to truly ap-preciate.”

Releasing his first album in 2013, Rogers has rapidly accelerated through the ranks of the Canadian national scene (sharing stages with Gordie Johnson and Tim Hus) and has toured extensively across the US and the UK. Rogers will be tour-ing extensively through-out the summer in ad-vance of the Fall 2015 release of his new album, “The Bloodred Yonder.” Stay tuned!

Rogers explains his songwriting process.

“There is no invari-able method,” he says, “save that I write on a daily basis. I regard in-spiration in the self-same way; A day isn’t complete without writ-ing, and the motivation

Ben Rogers and his band hit the stage at the legendary Byng Roadhouse in Downtown Cranbrook this coming Wednesday May 20th; showtime 9 pm.

B.C. axes Agricultural Land Reserve bossTom FLeTcher

Black Press

The B.C. government has “released” Agricul-tural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his five-year

contract until it ends in November, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said Thursday.

Bullock will be re-placed effective imme-diately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank

to do so. It’s true that anything can provoke a song, and I find the provocation’s either subservient or para-mount to the finished product. Or sometimes

the song’s origins are better left a secret. Any way you look at it, I write every song like it could be my last.”

Rogers was asked of his overview of Vancou-

ver’s music scene, and his role within it.

“The alt-country/roots/folk world is more of a state of mind than a ‘world’ or ‘scene,’” Rog-ers says. “I love Vancou-

ver, and I’ve received plenty of support in Vancouver that I’m grateful for. But for live music in general? It’s the kind of place where you can play all you like,

but you can’t truly thrive until you leave it. It’s getting harder and harder to find a venue that doesn’t kick you out by 11 pm to get turned over to the DJs...and 11 pm is when a show should start! And don’t get me wrong; I’ve got absolutely nothing against DJs ... except the hacks who make iTunes playlists and turn EQ knobs to make it look like they’re actually doing something. And I don’t really blame the venue owners. The price of rent and the ri-diculous liquor laws and tariffs in BC makes a steep overhead to deal with. But hey, like Corinne Raymond says: there will always be a small time.”

Ben Rogers has this to say for any other bur-geoning singer-song-writers out there: “I’d echo Roger Miller’s ad-vice: you can’t roll-er-skate in a buffalo herd...but you can be happy if you’ve a mind to.”

Leonard, who was voted out after nearly 20 years in last fall’s civic elec-tions.

Letnick said with new regulations taking effect to manage the Ag-ricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO.

The B.C. government has been at odds with Bullock since early in his five-year term, when he stopped appointing

commissioners to six re-gional panels around the province.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who pushed through the two-zone system under the aus-pices of his “core re-view” of government services, said a year ago that Bullock found the regional panels to be “a pain in the ass” and pre-ferred to run the com-mission from its head office in Burnaby. So the government mandated regional appointments

in legislation along with the two-zone concept.

Leonard takes over as the ALC deals with a vast Interior “zone two” with relaxed rules for second residences and non-farm activities. Commissioners are also expected to deal with applications by a British manufacturing giant buying B.C. Interior farms to turn back to forest for European Union carbon credits.

Letnick said the re-gional panels are up and

running, and he doesn’t expect the change at the top to cause delays in making decisions on farmland use or exclusion.

Okay, now what? Buddy Camps, that’s what. Track and field, too.

Another eight classes went out to Wycliffe Park to participate in Buddy Camps this week. We did a lot of team building games and ac-tivities, learned about “The bear necessities”, the importance of the circle of life to our deer population and Miss Dana taught us about the importance of re-placing what we take from nature. We also built sculptures with the available resources. It was great interacting with our buddies.

Track and field sea-son is gearing up. Every Friday afternoon, our students get an oppor-tunity to try all of the events leading up to the school track meet. Long and high jumps, run-ning events, shot put and discus and the tri-ple jump for grades 6 and 7 are the activities they will practice so they can choose their favor-ites for the main event in a few weeks. We do need parent volunteers to help us out with our Friday sessions and for our school wide meet on May 28th. Students who win at the school level, go on to compete in the district meet in Invermere. Good luck to everyone.

Beauty and the Beast is coming to McKim from May 20-23rd. Sel-kirk and McKim are pro-ducing this musical under the direction of Mr. Heyde. Tickets are available from the offic-es at both schools. Adults are $15 and stu-dents and seniors are $10. We have a special price for children under 5…FREE!

On Friday, some of our more fortunate classes enjoyed the company of a famous author. Stuart Ross told stories and explained what it takes to become an author. We were for-tunate to have him at our school.

Ping Pong Club con-tinues to expand. On this, our second last-week of doubles, Kea-gan Pretty and Oliver Hale won the week with 7 points. Congratula-

tions, boys!A huge debt of grati-

tude goes out to The Kimberley City Bakery

for contributing bread for our breakfast and lunch programs. Thank you.

McKim MemoriesFrom Page 1“But 70 per cent of

Resort Municipality funding must be spent on capital projects. Only 30 per cent can be used for softer expenses, say ski shuttles.

“Whistler is getting $7 million a year and they are having huge difficul-ty spending it inside the rules. The majority of the rest of us just don’t have enough RMI funds. Kim-berley gets about $100,000 a year. Whistler is big, thousands of beds. They get two and half million tourists a year.

“We don’t begrudge them the money they get. The goal here is to get Whistler to redistrib-ute some of that capital. We need to convince the province to loosen up

the rules on how the money can be spent.”

McCormick says that with all issues around the HST in 2011, the funding formula changed from a hotel tax to a grant.

“The government puts $10.5 million in a pot each year. In the last couple of years, as tour-ism grows, the amount we are raising based on hotel tax has gone over $10.5 million. This year the province has clawed back the over-spending by 17 per cent. Kimber-ley went from $100,000 to $83,000. Whistler went from $7 million to under $6 million. That money they just lost, I hope could be distributed to the rest of us.”

McCormick has spo-

ken with Bill Bennett about the issue and found him receptive.

“But it’s not his Min-istry. He is interested in helping.”

There is an upcoming meeting of mountain re-sort municipalities in June and the goal of that meeting will be to come up with a proposal the group can take to the provincial government.

“The current RMI agreement expires in 2017,” McCormick said. “We want to have some-thing to present so we can say ‘here’s what we think will work’. Even if it’s just going back to the tax. We need to have a proposal. Otherwise the provincial government will just say, ‘here’s how it’s going to be’.”

For the Bulletin

My name is Courtney Crawford, and I am

playing Gaston in Sel-kirk Secondar y School’s production of Beauty and the Beast.

As many of you may have seen the Disney movie, you would know that Gas-ton is an aggressive, burly, male character. So it may be difficult to picture a girl play-ing the iconic role. In our version, we have changed the character to a female, so Gaston still lacks manners and is just as uncivil, but is portrayed as a woman. Throughout this experience it has been really challeng-

ing to play a character so polar opposite from myself.

Mostly it has been quite interesting to challenge everyone’s expectations of a movie that everyone is familiar with. For this show there are many

young cast members and we also expect many young audience members, and for them, facing stereo-types can have a nega-tive effect on their concept of social jus-tice because they can be easily influenced. It’s quite refreshing to know that what we’ve done with the show is reinforcing positive messages for children and really all types of people.

Our show clearly demonstrates that women can occupy a variety of roles in soci-ety, both in the public and private sphere. Women can be power-ful and respected, cruel and kind, repre-sented in our show both by a determined, though ultimately cruel female Gaston

and a strong willed, misfit Belle. The entire performance shows that all people are ca-pable of unexpected things.

It has been an amazing few months working with some in-credible people and I am so excited to share the show with every-one. Beauty and the Beast plays at McKim Theatre in Kimberley from May 20-23 at 7:30 pm nightly, with shows at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm on May 23rd. Tickets are available at McKim School office in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cran-brook, and at the door. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for stu-dents and seniors, and for the May 23rd mat-inée children 5 and under are free.

For the townsmanThe Canadian Cancer Soci-

ety’s Relay For Life is just a few short weeks away – hard to be-lieve another year has passed so quickly. There is still plenty of time for you to gather up your friends, family, co-work-ers, neighbors, and enter a team in support of cancer fighters and survivors in our communities. We have tons of tools and resources to help you be successful in your Relay fundraising efforts, and are happy to share these to get you on your way. Why enter a team for Relay in Cranbrook and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society? Let’s take a look at why we do what we do.

Who is your donation help-ing?

It’s helping the bright-eyed Grade 6 students who are learning about cancer preven-tion by creating colorful post-ers about being sun safe, eating lots of veggies and fruit, and staying physically active.


It’s helping the dedicated members of small community groups who are working to pre-vent cancer by organizing cam-paigns to increase awareness of, and reduce exposure to can-cer-causing agents such as UV rays, radon, tobacco and pesti-cides.


It’s helping the teenaged boy who is a cancer survivor, as he dives in the lake, gets in a food fight, and tells scary ghost

stories at our Camp Goodtimes summer camp.

Your donation is helping the young mother who receives support through our Cancer-Connection program; her Can-cerconnection match, a survi-vor of the same type of breast cancer, phones her after each of her chemotherapy treat-ments—they talk, cry, and laugh together.

Your donation is helping the husband and grandfather who phones our Cancer Informa-tion Service toll-free line to get the most accurate and up-to-date treatment options for his specific diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Your donation is helping the brother who is participating in a clinical trial for a new type of treatment which is funded through Canadian Cancer So-ciety research dollars. Partici-pating in this clinical trial is giving this man and his family a chance at improved quality of life and longer survivorship—perhaps most importantly, it’s giving him and his family the gift of hope.

Your donation is helping the young child who has been di-agnosed with leukemia and needs to be away from home for weeks at a time for treat-ment. His parents are receiving assistance through our Finan-

cial support program, helping to cover the costs of travel to treatment and accommoda-tions while at treatment.


It is helping the Canadian Cancer Society fight cancer by working to prevent all types of cancer, by funding the best cancer research across Cana-da, and by supporting individ-uals and families who are expe-riencing cancer.

Join us in Rotary Park on Saturday June 6 from 4:30 – 10:30pm for the 16th Annual Cranbrook/Kimberley Relay For Life. There will be food, entertainment, activities for all ages, prizes and raffles. Our theme this year is “Filling the pot of gold at the end of the cancer rainbow” – many can-cers have a color – which one will you fight? We will fill Rota-ry park with all the colors of the rainbow, and fill the pot of gold to help us fight them all!

We also want to invite all cancer Survivors – whether it’s been one day, one year or sev-eral decades since you first heard those words to join us for the Survivors victory lap at the start of our event. Help spread your message of hope to others facing a cancer journey! For more information on how to sign up as a team, participant, survivor or to volunteer for the event, please call Lori at 250-426-8916 or visit HYPERLINK “http://www.relayforlife.ca” www.relayforlife.ca .

Relay for Life fundraiser fast approaching

Letters to the editoriCU support

On behalf of the East Koote-nay Foundation for Health (EKFH), we would like to rec-ognize and congratulate the Invermere Health Care Auxil-iary (IHCA) for the recent and very significant donation of $50,000 for health care equip-ment associated with the EK-FH’s ICU redevelopment fund-raising campaign.

The IHCA has an outstand-ing history of funding medical equipment, patient comforts and providing scholarships in the Columbia Valley and for also making substantial contri-butions through EKFH for the East Kootenay Regional Hospi-tal.

It is amazing to realize that these funds are only made possible thanks to the work and outstanding effort by the volunteer members of the IHCA who work at the IHCA Thrift Shop.

We hope the community will join us in celebrating the

IHCA volunteers and the orga-nization for yet another signifi-cant contribution to the health care offered at the regional hospital.

City infoMy policy when I was

Mayor was that every letter and email sent to me would get a response, and I intend to take that same approach when I am your Member of Parliament.

A recent letter to the editor asked for information on sev-eral things:

How much did the Eliza-beth Lake Welcome to Cran-brook sign cost? Council ap-proved $60,000 for the sign and it cost $59,868.31. It was designed and constructed by the same two talented local artists who did the Spirit Tree in Clocktower Square and the Ktunaxa Reconciliation sculp-

ture at the airport. The theme behind the rock sculpture is that while we live in the moun-tains our strength is in our people. Can you spot the faces in the rocks? While I can read the sign both day and night I agree that larger letters would be beneficial.

How much did the Fire Hall Fountain cost? The fountain was originally approved by Mayor Manjak and his Coun-cilors as part of the project to renovate the 2nd Street South Fire Hall into a permanent home for Fire and Rescue Ser-vices. Its construction was well under way when I became Mayor. Cost including staff la-bour was $47,085.13. I believe it will become one of the fea-tures that our citizens take their visitors to see. It is de-signed in the shape of a Mal-tese Cross, an important sym-bol for Fire Services around the world.

Are there too many bench-es along the newly paved 14th Avenue? In my view likely yes.

I asked staff to monitor the use of the 11 benches and, if they are not all being utilized, relo-cate some of them to the many places where we need benches in Cranbrook.

The vegetation along 14th Avenue are bio-swales, and are used to divert and utilize run-off water that used to race down 14th Avenue creating flooding problems down the hill. They work, but they need regular weeding and litter clean-up to make sure they are visually attractive.

We were looking at intro-ducing roundabouts at dan-gerous intersections because ICBC says they are the safest way to go and they move traffic more quickly than 4 way stops. ICBC believes in them enough to offer cities like Cranbrook significant grant money to build them.

Thank you Gary Doll for providing an opportunity to continue to keep our commu-nity informed!

He just misheard the question. A basically friendly interviewer on Fox News asked Jeb Bush, now

seeking the Republican nomination for the US presidency: “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the inva-sion (of Iraq)?” And he replied: “I would have.” When the storm of protest, even from Republicans, swept over him, he ex-plained that he thought the in-terviewer had said: “Knowing what we KNEW THEN.”

An easy mistake to make. “Know now” sounds an awful lot like “knew then”. Besides, Jeb Bush is on record as claim-ing that he is Hispanic (on a 2009 voter-registration applica-tion), so the poor man was struggling with his second language. If only she had asked the question in Spanish, he would have understood it perfectly.

Enough. When you listen to the entire interview, it’s clear that Bush didn’t want to say a flat “No” to her question, because that would be a condemnation of his brother’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. But as soon as he could, he switched to talking about the “intelligence failures” that misled his brother into invading the wrong country. Anybody can make a mis-take. So nobody’s to blame.

But the intelligence wasn’t “faulty”; it was cooked to order. There was no plausi-ble intelligence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so the US intelligence services were told to “find” some. There were no Islamist terrorists in Iraq either: Saddam Hussein hunted down and killed

anybody suspected of being an Islamist activist, because the Islamists wanted to kill him.

The US Central Intelligence Agency agency tried very hard to create a link be-tween al Qaeda, the organisation responsi-ble for the 9/11 attacks, and Iraq. The only thing they came up with, however, was a rumour that a little-known Islamist from

Jordan called Abu Musab al Zarqawi who knew Osama bin Laden had been in Baghdad receiving treatment for wounds received in Af-ghanistan in May-No-vember 2002. (He was actually in Iran at that

time.)If you were on the White House staff in

early 2003, you HAD to know that the “in-telligence” you were using to justify the invasion of Iraq was false, because you were one of the people demanding that the spooks manufacture “evidence” for it. The decision itself had been taken even before Bush’s election in 2000 and the 9/11 at-tacks in 2001, for reasons that had nothing to do with terrorism.

We don’t yet know just how disastrous the invasion of Iraq was, because the dam-age is still accumulating. Abu Bakr al Bagh-dadi, the man who now rules “Islamic State”, the terrorist-ruled new country that occupies the easten half of Syria and the western third of Iraq, started fighting Americans as part of the Iraqi resistance in 2003.

By 2006 at the latest, he had joined the

group then called Al Qaeda in Iraq, which was largely made up of jihadis from other Arab countries who had flocked to Iraq to fight the infidel invaders. And the founder of Al Qaeda in Iraq was none other than Abu Musab al Zarqawi — who parlayed the reputation as a major jihadi leader that the US intelligence services gave him into a real leadership position in the resistance.

Through the years that followed, that organisation gained experience in guerilla war and terrorism, and through several changes of name and leadership (Zarqawi was killed in 2006) it ultimately morphed into Islamic State. Baghdadi was with it all the way, and now styles himself “Caliph Ibrahim”, demanding the loyalty and obe-dience of all Muslims everywhere.

So we owe a lot to the “neo-cons” in George Bush’s administration who pushed for the invasion of Iraq: people like Dick Cheney (Vice-president), Donald Rums-feld (Secretary of Defense), and Paul Wol-fowitz (Undersecretary of Defense). They just used the 9/11 attacks as a vehicle for their pre-existing Iraq invasion plans.

It was Wolfowitz, above all, who worked tirelessly to link Iraq to terrorism. And guess who is the most prominent name on Jeb Bush’s current team of foreign policy advisers (apart from George W Bush him-self). Why, it’s the very same Paul Wolfow-itz. The problem with Jeb Bush is not the foolish answers he gives. It’s the company he keeps.

Jared du Toit expect-ed the competition was going to be tough and he certainly wasn’t wrong with that asser-tion.

Looking to advance to the NCAA Men’s Na-tional Golf Champion-ship, du Toit and the Idaho Vandals ran into a brick wall at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., this past weekend, as their season came to end after finishing in a tie for 10th place at the NCAA San Diego Re-gional.

“This year, we had a really good chance with Aaron [Cockerill] being a senior and playing well all year,” du Toit said over the phone from the side of the highway Monday after-noon as he ventured back to Canada. “He’s been steady for us. I felt like we had five real solid guys this year. It would have been nice to make run, so it’s definitely disappoint-ing to end a tourna-ment early.”

du Toit finished the

tournament in a tie for 25th at five-over par.

The native of Kim-berley, B.C., opened the event with a two-over 74, before firing a one-under 71 on day two. A tough final round saw the Big Sky Conference Champi-onship Player of the Year shoot a four-over 76 to close out the tour-ney Saturday.

“We all kind of had our individual strug-gles,” du Toit said. “For me, first of all, I hit the ball well but probably chipped some of the worst [I had] all year. You can’t really expect to score when you’ve got that kind of game going on.

“None of us really had our ‘A’ game at all the whole week. It was tough to go out that way.”

Only the top five teams at the regional tournament, along with the lowest-scoring in-dividual not on one of those teams, advance to the NCAA Men’s Na-tional Golf Champion-ship, scheduled for May 29 to June 3 at The Concession Golf Club

in Bradenton, Fla.Advancing to the na-

tional championship from the San Diego Re-gional is the University of Oklahoma (first, 21-under), Arizona State University (second, one-under), Georgia Institute of Technology (third, five-over), Uni-versity of Georgia (fourth, six-over) and the University of Vir-ginia (fifth, 10-over). The lowest-scoring in-dividual, Gudmundur Kristjansson (sixth in-dividually, three-un-der) of East Tennessee State University, also advanced.

Jon Rahm (Arizona State), the number-two ranked men’s amateur golfer in the world, cruised to the individu-al title after carding a tournament-best 10-under. After opening the event with a one-over 73, Rahm ran away from the leaderboard over the final 36 holes, firing an eight-under 64 in the second round and a cool three-under 69 during final-round action.

Despite the disap-pointing results, the

Disappointment in San DiegoKimberley’s Jared du Toit and the Idaho Vandals season ends at NCAA Regionals

File

The season came to an end for Jared du Toit and the Idaho Vandals, after finishing in a tie for 10th place at the NCAA San Diego Regional.

opportunity to partici-pate at a high-scale NCAA event was a pos-itive one for du Toit, who looks to build on that experience this summer.

“The golf course was unbelievable,” du Toit said. “It’s one of the

most prestigious in San Diego, so it was really cool that we got to play that. It was in really nice shape.

“It was a fun week. The last week with the guys before the sum-mer — we all enjoyed each other’s company.”

du Toit has a pretty busy tournament schedule through the summer months, one that will take him across the continent to places like Rochester, N.Y., Washington, Ore-gon, Toronto and more.

The sophomore will

return to Kimberley, which will serve as his launching pad for the summer months, be-fore he heads back south of the border hoping to chase down an NCAA champion-ship title next season.

PRAGUE, Czech Re-public - Team Canada was perfect in Prague, capping an outstanding run at the world hockey championship with a dominant win over its archrival.

After five straight years of quarter-final de-feats, the Canadians are heading home with world championship gold medals for the first time since 2007 after a 6-1 thrashing of defend-ing champion Russia on Sunday at O2 Arena.

Arguably the deepest team in a tournament rich with big-name stars, the Canadians ran the table in 2015 with a per-fect 10-0 record.

“Our guys really wanted to win - they re-ally did,” said coach Todd McLellan.

“I thought that we got a little extra motivation from the Russian team today,” said McLellan. “Their staredown in the warmup was just exactly what our team needed. We talked about which staredown would be more important - the one before the game or the one after. We decid-ed the one after would be more important so we appreciated the mo-tivation.”

Sidney Crosby, Tyler Ennis, Cody Eakin and Claude Giroux paced the Canadian attack with a goal and an assist each. Tyler Seguin and Nathan MacKinnon also scored.

Crosby finished the tournament with 11 points and became just the eighth Canadian player to join the Triple Gold Club, adding his

world championship win to Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014 and his 2009 Stanley Cup.

Crosby was quick to share the tournament win with his teammates.

Evgeni Malkin had the only goal for Russia, and star forward Alex Ovechkin was held off the scoresheet.

All tournament long, Canada relied on a po-tent and balanced scor-ing attack. On Sunday, the fourth line set the tone for the win.

When Canada took a 4-0 lead at the 9:02 mark of the second period, the Russians took a time out in an attempt to regroup, still looking for their first shot on goal in the peri-od.

But Canada’s domi-nance was absolute. Gir-oux, on the power play,

Scott Niedermayer, who is also a Triple Gold Club winner, was one of seven people inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame on Sunday. Niedermay-er was unable to attend the ceremony due to his assistant coaching commitment with the Anaheim Ducks, who are currently playing in the Western Conference final of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Niedermayer inducted into IIHF Hall of Fame

and MacKinnon added insurance goals in the third period to lock down Canada’s first win in history over the Rus-sians in a world champi-onship gold-medal game — and by the big-gest margin of victory ever surrendered by the Russians.

Canada did win the 1955 world title against

what then the U.S.S.R., and the tournament was round-robin.

In the bronze-medal game played earlier on Sunday, forward Nick Bonino had a goal and an assist as the US shut out the host team from the Czech Republic by a score of 3-0. The last medal for the US was also a bronze, in 2013.

canadian PreSSRussia’s hockey team may end

up paying for its Canadian an-them snub.

Russian news agency TASS re-ported the Russian team is facing sanctions after players left the ice before O Canada. The Canadians crushed Russia in Sunday’s game, and most of the Russians quickly departed for the dressing room, a breach of the sport’s etiquette.

“Once we arrive back home

after the world championships we will look into this question and we will get in touch with those in charge at the Russian Ice Hockey Federation,” IIHF president Rene Fasel said.

“The IIHF has its own protocol and some sort of punishment will be handed down.”

Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Viktor Tikhonov and Dmi-try Kulikov were among the few players who remained on the ice

for the anthem.Russia’s general manager An-

drey Safronov called the incident “a shame.”

“Nothing forced our team to leave the ice and it was simply an organizational mistake,” he said.

“We are feeling very ashamed and uncomfortable now and on the behalf of the national team I bow to the Canadians. I can say only that there was nothing pre-meditated in the incident.”

Russians could be sanctioned for anthem incident

Dear Annie: I have been with “Joe” since his wife died nine years ago. The problem is, we have different styles of communication. At first, it wasn’t too bad. I have tried to analyze our fights to see what I could do differently or what we could do together to make it better. But I have settled on the fact that Joe can never be wrong, and it affects everything. He won’t do anything in a new way, cannot say he’s sorry for anything he has said or done, won’t admit to hurting my feelings, and often won’t believe what I say. Worse, when he gets an idea in his head, he won’t change it even when presented with new information that proves him wrong. And when I suggest he reconsider, he often makes comments that are below the belt and painful for me. It’s frustrating. Joe is 75, and I am 66. We live together and don’t want to move. I know he won’t go for counseling, nor will he believe anything he reads that contradicts his impressions. How do I keep my sanity and stop these fights? -- Need Your Help Dear Need: Let’s understand this. You are willing to put up with what sounds like fre-quent verbal abuse because you don’t want to move? Does Joe have any redeeming qualities that make up for his stubborn ig-norance and disagreeable nature? We don’t see love here. We see fear of being alone. You cannot make Joe become a better com-municator unless he works at it, which he won’t. Only you can decide whether you are willing to tolerate this in order to stay with him. Some counseling for you alone might be helpful. Dear Annie: Why do people pay so little at-tention to the proper pronunciation of cer-tain words? This morning, I received a telephone call from a salesclerk, who informed me that something I had ordered was no longer available, but she had “fount” a similar item if I cared to substitute. I’d like to substitute “found” for “fount.” Also, I’ve heard several people say “ax” when they mean “ask.” An “ax” is something you use to chop wood. If the speaker had “axed her,” she wouldn’t be able to answer, now, would she? “Ask” should rhyme with “task.” Last week, for the umpteenth time, I heard someone say, “We are having a sells event.” The word is “sales.” You are having a sale where you hope to sell things. You are not having a “sell.” And why do people continue to say “I done this” or “I seen that” or “they come over yesterday.” These people have been to school and presumably learned the proper tense for verb usage. Why are we so careless in our speech? OK, Annie. I feel better now. -- Shepherdsville, Ky. Dear Shepherdsville: Glad to help. Some kids don’t pay that much attention in school. And how your friends and family members speak can be a greater influence than what you learn in a short class. Rules of grammar, if not reinforced at home, often go by the wayside. Standards have relaxed a great deal, but still, people who cannot correctly pro-nounce words are considered uneducated or worse, and it can affect the jobs they get and the people they attract, which shapes the rest of their lives.

Lily Jones

September 10, 1927 – May 12, 2015

In the early morning, as the dancing stars drew her away, the first rays of the sun carried mom’s spirit to join that of her husband. Mom was born to John and Sofia Leaf on September 10, 1927 in Kamloops, but spent her youth in the Finnish community of Solsqua- Cambie. She lost her father in July 1945 and helped her mother care for her younger siblings. Her mom, Aiti, left us in June 1981. Mom had two older half-siblings Erik in Finland and Mary Hantula who came to live in Solsqua. She also had two sisters, Elsie Burt and Helvie Saari, and her little brother Ray Leaf. Mom’s only remaining sibling is her sister Elsie. She also leaves behind Ray’s wife Val and Dad’s sister Carol Bates.

Mom was married to Robert Owen Jones in October 1950. She always said he was a good catch because he was a railwayman. Sadly their love affair would come to an end May 7, 1983 when we lost our amazing father. They had some fabulous years together raising five children in Revelstoke, Hammond, Kamloops, and Cranbrook. Eldest son Robert Jr. (Bob) also became a good railwayman, and is left to cherish Mom’s memory with his partner Fran and his five children: Cori (Josh); Sherri (Brian); Megan (George), and Robert (Stephanie)--a third generation railwayman. Sadly we lost Bob’s daughter, Janet (George) in 2010. The next child to come along was daughter Marilyn Anderson (Donovan) who, with her three children Sarah (Justin), Christopher (Crystal), and David (Samantha) will forever treasure all of the special moments they shared with Mom. The next son was Dick (Debbie) and with children David (Stephanie) and Jennifer (Travis), Mom’s feisty spirit will be remembered and will live on. Youngest son Darrell (Elizabeth) and their two children Zachary and Jessica (Jeremiah) will long remember Mom’s laughter and her stories, and will keep her close to their hearts. Finally, the baby, Lori Bregoliss who, with husband Paul and their two sons Ryan (Allison) and Sammy J will honour Mom’s love of family and zest for life.

Mom and dad had some memorable times together, spending many years sharing their mutual passion for politics. Mom loved being in the campaign offices especially if R O was running. She lived for helping the community and others less fortunate. One of her first jobs was working as a nurse’s aide in the hospital in Revelstoke. She spent hours working with the Royal Purple and the Elks lodge. She was also a passionate caregiver; it seemed there was always someone extra at the dinner table that Mom was helping out, be it a railway friend of Dad’s, one of her children’s friends, or in the later years helping support those with intellectual disabilities. She spent many summers at her cabin on the Shuswap, enjoying the company of family and friends, and always made sure we swept the deck before we left. After selling the cabin she continued to enjoy weekends at her trailer in Chase. Her retirement years were spent living downtown. Mom was a very independent woman, and relished the freedom of being able to get everything she needed with just a short walk, perhaps with some time spent just sitting and people watching. Mom was a great cook, famous for her broccoli bake, which has become a family tradition. Her grandchildren will always remember her for her scrambled egg and peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes after a sleep over. We will make sure that the youngest members of the family, her nine great-grandchildren--Tanner, Tyler, Emilie, Hunter, Hailey, Emmaline, Josh, Aaron and Gordon and two more expected this summer--and her great-great-grandson Max will know what a special woman she was. In her last years we were blessed that mom was cared for by the loving staff at Ridgeview Lodge. Alzheimer’s takes a person away in pieces but the staff at Ridgeview made sure Mom’s life was full and whole. Her final days were spent sharing quiet visits with her children and their spouses and some laughter filled evenings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They shared family stories and a few last sips of beer; she did not want to leave that party. We love you more than words can speak, say hi to Dad, hope he has a CC and water waiting for you. There will be a graveside service for Mom at the Solsqua-Cambie cemetery on May 23 @ 11:00 am with a social at mom’s old stomping grounds, the Cambie Hall, following the service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s society, or give someone a hug.

C ANADIAN PRESSMONTREAL - At a

time when municipal budgets are stretched and urban-improve-ment projects may not top a city’s priority list, community groups, non-profits and local governments are in-creasingly turning to

crowdfunding to help finance public projects.

Crowdfunding web-sites, which allow groups and individuals to solicit donations on-line, are usually associ-ated with artists, entre-preneurs and humani-tarian projects. Howev-er, a small but growing

number of crowdfund-ing campaigns are look-ing to finance civic proj-ects such as artwork, and green and public spaces.

In the United States and Europe, pur-pose-specific sites such as Spacehive, IOBY and citizinvestor have been

used to fund everything from bridges to bicycle services.

Although in Canada the practice is less com-mon, the presence of some homegrown web platforms and a host of online campaigns seems to indicate that civic crowdfunding may

Lightning sparks five new wildfires in B.C. Interior as massive blaze continues

C ANADIAN PRESSPRINCE GEORGE,

B.C. - Crews are re-sponding to five new wildfires in British Co-lumbia’s Central Interi-or, as a massive blaze continues to burn about 70 kilometres southwest of Prince George.

B.C.’s Wildfire Man-agement Branch says all of the new fires were sparked by Friday’s lightning activity in the Cariboo region.

The largest fire is rag-ing four hectares west of Anahim Lake, where a

three-person attack crew, airtankers and a helicopter are on site with 16 additional fire-fighters on the way.

The branch says crews are also working on three small fires in the Big Bar area and one small fire southwest of Quesnel.

Meanwhile, the ag-gressive Little Bobtail Lake blaze has de-stroyed about 170 square kilometres since it was first discovered last Saturday.

Some 240 firefight-

ers, 11 helicopters, eight air tankers and 23 piec-es of heavy machinery have been brought in and 20 per cent of the fire has been contained.

Jill Kelsh with the Prince George Fire Cen-tre says crews have been working around the clock since last Sunday.

“It’s not very often that we have crews working day and night. They have been working as hard with all of the resources they have to get this fire under con-tainment,” she says.

“It was our first and only extremely large fire burning in the province so it was definitely a high priority for us.”

She says an evacua-tion order remains in place for about 80 peo-ple and it’s too soon to say when they could re-turn to their homes.

Kelsh says the area is finally seeing cooler temperatures and al-though winds have picked up, they are cur-rently in crews’ favour as they are moving away from larger communi-

ties.Officials are hoping

the gusty winds will not cause any immediate threat to structures, she says.

Unseasonably dry, hot weather has brought wildfire season early in B.C. One wildfire that destroyed 83 hectares near Clearwater was 100 per cent contained as of Saturday morning.

Another blaze near Pelican Lake was about 164 hectares in size and only 50 per cent con-tained.

be on the rise in this country.

Last week, securities commissions in six provinces also set up rules to allow Canadian businesses to raise equi-ty through crowdfund-ing.

There are several ad-vantages to crowdfund-ing urban projects, says Nicolas Koff, the co-founder of Projexity, a Toronto-based crowd-funding website that helps groups gather re-sources for local proj-ects. These can include engaging people and bumping up the time-line of projects that would otherwise take years to complete.

Projexity’s most suc-cessful project to date has been a public patio for Market 707, a ship-ping container market in Toronto. The site raised $6,500 and also sought public input on the design and on the hiring of labourers - something that would have been impossible had the project been done entirely through municipal channels.

Other Canadian groups are using tradi-tional platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiego-go to try to fund their projects.

A group in Leth-bridge, Alta., has launched an Indiegogo campaign to save two historic buildings that make up the city’s Chi-natown. They, like most, have turned to a variety of resources to attempt to fund their project, in-cluding a grant from the municipal heritage re-source fund that match-es every dollar raised.
