Animal Alliance pledges $10,000 to translocation

study in EKC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

As reported in the Bulletin last week, the Animal Alliance, a na-tional animal rights group, is willing to hit B.C. in the wallet to pro-test the treatment of an-imals. They are mount-ing an anti-wolf cull campaign to try to keep people from visiting British Columbia.

However, the group is also willing to put their money into non-lethal methods at wildlife management. To that end the group has pledged $10,000, matching City of Kim-berley’s contribution, towards a study into translocating deer.

Mayor Don McCor-

mick says that the City will take Animal Alli-ance up on the offer, though it has yet to be formally approved by Council.

Liz White, Campaign Director for Animal Al-liance, says that ever since deer culls began to become a wildlife management tool in British Columbia, her group has been advo-cating looking for alter-natives. However, she says, relocation of deer is not without problems and must be ap-proached with a degree of caution.

“Something is going on with the mule deer population in the East Kootenay in the wild,” she said.

It’s been a record set-ting February in terms of warm temperatures.

Lisa Coldwells, Envi-ronment Canada warn-ing preparedness mete-orologist, noted that the weather has been rather remarkable, with seven high temperature re-cords broken this month.

She said it is com-mon to have one record broken, but seven is a much rarer occurrence. Many of those were lumped together.

“You had five in a

row, from the 10th of February to the 14th,” Coldwells said. “Those are all-time records.”

In fact, she noted that those particular days, the records go all the way back to 1901 in the Cranbrook area.

The records didn’t get to the all-time max for February, which is 13.9 degrees celsius.

“The warmest tem-perature we’ve had so far this month is 10.7,” she said. “So we’re not extreme, but on those specific days the records were broken.”

Chef Doug Wagner wins

with a cheese-burger chowder

CRANBROOK – The last challenge in round one did not disappoint. Chef Marc Rathpoller of Tuscany’s and Chef Doug Wagner of St Eu-gene Mission Resort put on a skilled culinary show. The two chefs are used to a fast-paced, di-verse kitchen that pro-duces both mouth-wa-tering pub food as well as a customized, high-end gourmet menu. They each moved quickly, skillfully, and

with confidence.But only one will

move to next week’s semi-finals.

By a score of 27 to 24, today’s challenge was

won by Chef Wagner with a cheeseburger chowder. Chef Rathpoll-er impressed with his own soup creation: an apple, sausage and

squash soup with pota-to. It was the closest competition to date, and Salvation Army guests greatly enjoyed the soup feast.

“My soup started to evolve as time went,” said Chef Wagner. “My goal was to create a hearty, healthy flavour-ful soup – the kind of soup I myself would want to eat on chilly spring day.”

“It’s been a lot of fun,” said Chef Rathpoll-er. “My soup combined classic flavours that worked well together and focused on nutri-tion and substance. Doug and I had a great time working in the

kitchen. I’m really glad to have participated in this and enjoyed my ex-perience. It felt good to cook for my communi-ty.”

The semi-final events, sponsored by College of the Rockies Professional Cook Training, begin next week. On Monday, Chef Rusty Cox of The Heid Out Restaurant and Bre-whouse will compete against the Salvation Ar-my’s own chef Kathy Morey, who has been head chef in the soup kitchen for nearly 11 years.

submiT Ted(Columbia Basin) –

Organizations with projects that directly benefit Basin youth may apply for funding through Columbia Basin Trust’s Youth Grants program.

A range of organiza-tions can apply—in-cluding non-profit, public and First Nations groups, plus youth aged 15 to 29 with a sponsor-ing organization. Proj-ects that meet eligibility requirements can re-ceive up to $15,000. The application deadline is March 10, 2015.

“Thanks to the ded-

ication and creativity of projects that organiza-tions bring forward, young people have a range of opportunities to engage in their com-munities and with one another,” said Lisa Kil-patrick, Columbia Basin Trust Senior Manager, Delivery of Benefits. “From theatre projects to powwows, robotics teams to youth-led television networks, funding is being used to benefit youth in the Basin in meaningful and diverse ways.”

In the fall 2014 in-take, 17 projects re-

ceived more than $153,000. Successful projects were deter-mined by the Trust’s Youth Advisory Com-mittee, a group of Basin residents aged 15 to 29 who volunteer with the Trust to adjudicate ap-plications and provide recommendations.

One successful ap-plicant was the Castle-gar and District Com-munity Services Soci-ety. Its Youth Art Project engages youth aged 12 to 18 in the Castlegar area through three projects: a mural that helps celebrate diversi-ty and Aboriginal cul-ture, an Aboriginal drum-making work-shop and a theatre group that gives youth an opportunity to ex-press their feelings about difficult situa-tions in their lives.

“Thanks to this funding, youth have an opportunity to share their voice with the community by partici-pating in three distinct

projects that provide both creative and tangi-ble forms of expres-sion,” said Zoe Mackay, Program Coordinator, Castlegar Youth Coun-cil. “Several of the Cas-tlegar Youth Council members partook in the grant proposal pro-cess, both by generat-ing the ideas and writ-ing letters of support, and were able to take pride in having their voices heard when the grant was approved.”

For more informa-tion or to discuss your project idea, contact Michelle d’Entremont, Basin Youth Liaison, at 1-800-505-8998 or mdentremont@cbt.org. For details, visit cbt.org/youthgrants2015.

CBT providing grants for youth programs across the region

submiT TedCranbrook, BC — This week EKFH

received a fantastic donation of soap, foam and water to keep the ICU fund-raising car bright and shiny thanks to Kurt Swanson of Victoria Ave Car & Pet Wash.

As a long-time supporter of EKFH Kurt says he wanted to help EKFH keep their message for support very visible while out on the road. The gift of a year’s worth of car washes will definitely keep a bright impression for the ICU and the car generously donat-ed by Northstar Motors.

The brightly coloured (and very noticeable) car is starting to make its way through the region with EKFH making presentations and attending events in support of raising funds to fully equipment the new ICU under construction at the East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital.

The foundation is asking for the public’s critical support for the ICU Redevelopment Project to ensure that the unit is fully equipped when it opens its doors in 2016. To make a donation visit EKFH’s secured website www.ekfh.ca.

hasn’t done the studies to determine why. If the external environment can’t support the current population, how can it support additional ani-mals?”

White says there may be parts of the East Koote-nay where mule deer are doing well and could sup-port translocated animals, but there is also the issue of predation.

“Translocated deer are under a high degree of stress and it appears that they are more vulnerable to predators,” White said.

Despite these concerns, the idea of looking at non-lethal methods is a very positive one, White says.

“We just want to see animals treated with the greatest compassion and humaneness.”

that reached 10.7 de-grees.

“In fact we had mul-tiple records broken across the entire south-ern portion of the prov-ince that day, from Ab-botsford through to Kelowna, all the way to Cranbrook,” she said.

The source of the peculiar weather is a broad-scale upper at-mospheric ridge just sitting over the prov-ince.

“In sort of normal years weather rotates around, so we get a sys-tem that comes through, then some arctic air, then another system — so you get a constant movement in the weather,” she said. “This blocking upper ridge has been ex-tremely persistent and it’s been sitting there really over a good part of the month.”

She noted that at the beginning of the month there was a Pineapple Express that brought precipitation to the Lower Mainland and warm air here. That warm air still

hasn’t been flushed out. She said that won’t happen until that upper ridge is moved out of place.

“The longer range models show that the ridge does stay put until about the middle of next week —now we’re talking about the 25th of February — and temperatures will remain on the warm side with daytime highs of around 3 - 5 degrees,” she said. “There’s a bit of a blip that happens as the ridge kind of shifts a bit to the west and that al-lows colder arctic air to move in from Alberta.”

That means tem-peratures cooled down a bit over the weekend. Then the ridge will shift back and by the middle of this week the warm pocket will have returned.

She said in the lon-ger range forecast, it looks as though the ridge will break down and return the westerly flow.

“That means sys-tems from the Pacific can start moving in again and start skip

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2015 PAGE 5DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

The “Islamic State” franchise in Libya, which is emerging as the main winner in that country’s chaotic civil war, published a video on Sunday showing 21

Egyptian men in orange overalls being forced to the ground and beheaded. The video made it clear that they were being killed for being Christian, “peo-ple of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church.”

Within hours the Egyptian air force responded with raids on IS camps and training sites in Derna, the group’s head-quarters in eastern Libya. An-nouncing the safe return of all the aircraft, the Egyptian mili-tary authorities declared: “Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them.” But it didn’t really protect them, did it?

Okay, that’s not fair. Everybody knows that you can’t protect people once they fall into the hands of the jihadi head-chop-pers. An air force is a particularly unsuit-able tool for that job, nor can anyone stop unemployed Egyptian labourers from seeking work even in war-torn Libya. Most of the victims came from a dirt-poor Chris-tian village in Upper Egypt, and they had to feed their families somehow.

So the Islamic State fanatics murdered them because that is effective propaganda for a certain demographic where they are seeking recruits. Then the Egyptian air force flailed out aimlessly, and the public relations boys wrote the usual guff about the air force being a shield for the people. So far, so tediously normal – but the whole event also serves the narrative of the Egyp-tian military regime.

We’re not supposed to call it a military regime. The military coup (with substan-tial popular support) that overthrew the elected president, Mohamed Morsi, in July 2013 was allegedly just a brief detour from democracy. But the commander of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, ended up as president, and the promised

parliamentary elections have still not happened.

Why not? The main excuse Egyptians are offered is that the government is too busy fighting the huge terrorist threat Egypt faces. And don’t mention that the terrorism is largely the regime’s own fault, or that the threat is not so big that normal political life must be suspended. People who say that have featured prominently among the 40,000 who have been arrested since July 2013.

(16,000 are still in prison.)What happened in Egypt twenty

months ago was a betrayal of the demo-cratic revolution of February 2011, when peaceful demonstrators forced former general Hosni Mubarak out of the presi-dency after thirty years in power. Few of the urban, relatively well educated revolu-tionaries on Tahrir Square supported the Muslim Brotherhood, but they should not have been surprised when it won the first free election.

Ninety percent of Egyptians are Mus-lims, and most of them are deeply conser-vative rural people. They remembered that the Muslim Brotherhood had been Egypt’s main opposition party during the decades of dictatorship. They shared many of its values, and many of them had benefited from its social programmes for the poor.

They reckoned the Brothers deserved the first go in power, and gave it their votes. More secular people were appalled when a Muslim Brotherhood-dominated constitu-ent assembly amended the constitution to give it a more religious slant, although the changes were not actually all that extreme. And they forgot that in a democracy, you can change the government by voting it out. You just have to wait for the next elec-tion.

Instead, the naive and impatient revo-lutionaries made an alliance with the army to drive the elected government from power. Did they think that the army, de-spite sixty years of military dictators in Egypt, was a secret ally of democracy? So General Sisi accepted their support, took over the government in 2013, and put Pres-ident Morsi in jail. Shortly afterwards, he began putting the revolutionaries in jail too.

But Sisi needs some excuse for destroy-ing Egypt’s democratic revolution, and the excuse is terrorism, the bigger the better. He declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, and when tens of thousands of non-violent supporters of the Brotherhood established a protest camp in Rabaa Square in Cairo he cleared it by force, killing at least 627 people by the gov-ernment’s own count.

But a bit of terrorism also helps to dis-tract attention at home and abroad from what actually happened in Egypt. Even before the ghastly slaughter of innocent Egyptians in Libya on Sunday, the US Con-gress had put military aid to Egypt back into this year’s budget proposal.

Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart became the first player in franchise history to reach the 300-point plateau when he scored his 14th goal of the season in a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oil Kings Friday.

Mr. 300Reinhart hits 300-point plateau as Ice win twice

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

For his entire WHL career, Sam Reinhart’s calling card has been an innate ability to find open space where no one else sees it.

The Kootenay Ice captain did exactly that in collecting his 300th career WHL point Friday night in a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings.

“That first [point] seems like a long time ago now. I didn’t even find out I got 300 [points] until after the game,” Re-inhart said Friday night. “It was a nice thing to find out. That being said, the win tonight was more important.

“You saw us getting better as the game went on. We played our best hockey in the third [pe-riod] when it really mat-tered and came down to it.”

Reinhart’s first goal of the night and 300th WHL point stood as the eventual game-winning goal in front of a sea-son-high packed house of 3,224 at Western Fi-nancial Place.

With a four-on-three power-play opportunity 7:10 into the third peri-od, Reinhart snuck down low to the back door before taking a pass from Luke Philp and depositing it to the back of the net behind Edmonton Oil Kings goaltender Tristan Jarry.

“It was kind of a bro-ken play at first and then Rinat [Valiev] regrouped the puck and made a

nice play at the blue line,” Philp said, re-counting the sequence leading up to Reinhart’s goal. “One of their guys fell down so we had a little bit of room. I just held it as long as I could. I was going to take it to the net there, but then I saw Sam on the back-side so I slid it over. He made a nice shot.”

Reinhart, a 19-year-old native of North Van-couver and first-round selection of the Buffalo Sabres (second overall, 2014), becomes the first player in Kootenay Ice franchise history to hit the 300-point plateau.

Through 238 career WHL games, the 6-foot-1 pivot has 116 goals and 303 points to his name.

His first-career WHL point was a goal he hap-pened to score as a 15-year-old against the Edmonton Oil Kings way back on Oct. 19, 2010.

“Sam is an unbeliev-able player and he’s an even better guy,” Philp said. “You learn a lot watching him. You can’t give the guy a bad pass ever. He always finds a way to pick up passes in his feet. He’s a special player.”

Reinhart’s milestone marker snapped a 1-1 tie in what had been a back-and-forth, tight-check-ing game through 40 minutes of play.

The Oil Kings opened the scoring 12:52 into the first period after forward Luke Bertolucci snuck his seventh of the season past Kootenay Ice goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin.

With the second pe-riod winding down, 20-year-old veteran Levi Cable sent a seeing-eye single towards Oil Kings goaltender Tristan Jarry. Appearing to be screened on the play, Jarry couldn’t find Ca-ble’s long power-play point shot and the two teams headed into the second intermission tied 1-1.

“They came out real-ly hard. They wanted to set a physical pace early and we kind of let them set the pace for the first couple periods,” Philp said. “Hof [Wyatt Hoflin] played great for us to-night and we were able to stick with it and have a good third [period].”

By the time the night was over, Hoflin made an astounding 46 saves to earn his 29th victory of the campaign. If not for Reinhart’s 300th point stealing the sto-ryline, Hoflin’s lights-out performance was a strong second.

“To hold them to one goal is pretty big for us, especially when they’re right behind us in the standings,” Hoflin said after the game.

“Anytime we play someone in our divi-sion, it makes it that much more important. But where we are in the standings, every game is important, especially when everyone below us seems to be winning. We’ve just got to keep going, keep pushing.”

Philp added an in-surance goal by finding a hole on Jarry’s low

glove side. Reinhart wrapped up the scoring with a shorthanded, empty-net tally with two seconds remaining on the clock.

Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev quietly put forth a strong night, reg-istering three assists be-fore the final buzzer.

The Oil Kings out-shot the hosts 47-26 by the time all was said and done.

In a Saturday road date with the Spokane Chiefs, Hoflin one again grabbed his share of the spotlight, making 29 saves to lead the Ice to a 5-0 victory over the Spo-kane Chiefs.

The shutout was the third of Hoflin’s career.

Ice forward Jon Mar-tin opened the scoring 8:41 into the first period and his tally stood as the eventual game-winner, with Philp and Jaedon Descheneau rounding

out the scoring, each with a pair of goals.

“It’s not very easy playing there [in Spo-kane],” Reinhart said Friday, looking ahead to the tilt with the Chiefs. “It’s a big building and the fans are into it.”

The Kootenay cap-tain registered two help-ers Saturday to extend his point streak to four games.

Veteran forward Aus-tin Vetterl also collected two assists Saturday night against the Chiefs.

Including Saturday’s tilt in Spokane, the Ice face five consecutive games away from West-ern Financial Place.

According to Philp, Friday’s victory stands to provide the Ice with building blocks as they head out of town in hopes of building on the recent success.

“Even with the slow start, if you stick with it, the game can turn in your direction,” Philp said. “That’s what hap-pened [Friday against

Edmonton]. They were walking all over us in the first period and a half. Hof did hold us in there.

“As a group, sticking with it -- once we get one [goal] and being able to build off it -- sticking with it is the main thing.”

The Ice visit Swift Current (Feb. 24), Regina (Feb. 25) and Brandon (Feb. 27 and 28) before returning to Cranbrook for their next home date March 6 when the Red Deer Rebels visit West-ern Financial Place.

Kings edge Sharks in Stadium Series gameJosh Dubow

Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Marian Gaborik scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period and the Los Angeles Kings spoiled San Jose’s outdoor party with a 2-1 victory over the Sharks on Saturday night.

Kyle Clifford also scored and Jonathan Quick made 31 saves as the Kings won their sev-enth straight game.

Gaborik silenced an enthusiastic crowd of 70,205 just over 4 min-utes into the third period when he took the puck

away from Brent Burns in the neutral zone and skated in before beating Antti Niemi with a shot from the top of the circle.

As much as this was a spectacle, it also was an important contest in the Western Conference playoff race. With the win, the Kings moved from out of playoff posi-tion into third place in the Pacific Division. Los Angeles is tied with Cal-gary and San Jose with 68 points but has played fewer games than both those teams.

The second outdoor game in California fea-tured John Fogerty per-

forming in the first in-termission and Melissa Etheridge in the second.

The ice rink was sur-rounded by designs of the topography or Northern California with designs of moun-tains, plants, hills and bodies of water includ-ing numerous shark fins for a special touch.

The ice was a bit choppier than the usual indoor variety is, forcing both teams to simplify their games a bit. But the game-time tem-perature was 57 degrees, nearly twice the average of the previous 14 out-door games.

NOTES: The biggest attendance at an out-door NHL game came last year at Michigan Sta-dium with 105,941 fans. The first Winter Classic in Buffalo in 2008 is sec-ond with 71,217. ... Road teams improved to 11-3-1 in NHL outdoor games. The Kings lost their home outdoor game last year at Dodger Stadium 3-0 to Anaheim. ... The Sharks have lost six straight home games, matching their longest skid since an eight-gam-er in the 1994-95 season. ... The Sharks became the 19th franchise to play an outdoor game.

There was a sea of blue surrounding the crease of goaltender Tyson Brouwer all weekend as the Creston Valley Thunder Cats did their best to get traffic to the Kimberley Dynamiters crease. Brouwer fought through it Saturday en route to a 2-0 shutout win.

Knotted upNitros & Thunder Cats head to Game 3 all square

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Through two games of their best-of-seven Eddie Mountain Divi-sion semifinal, the Kim-berley Dynamiters and Creston Valley Thunder Cats have done exactly what was expected -- battled back-and-forth in a tightly-contested first-round playoff series.

“I’ve got a message in [the dressing room] on the wall that says, ‘Be in the moment. The only shift that matters is your next one,’” said Dynamit-ers head coach Jerrry Bancks on Saturday night. “That’s how it is in a seven-game series...I’ve always told them, you don’t get too high, you don’t get too low. You just keep playing. It can be a long series and we found out [Friday] it’s probably going to be a long series.”

As the number-two seed, the Nitros played host for Games 1 and 2 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Friday night, Game 1 went to the Creston Val-ley Thunder Cats after Connor Ward beat Dy-namiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer in over-time for a 2-1 victory.

“Big picture, we put ourselves in a good spot,” said Thunder Cats head coach/general manager Jeff Dubois on Saturday. “Reality of this series was we knew we had to come

into this buiding, which has been a real tough place for teams to get points and get a win. Ob-viously we would have been extra happy to go back-to-back, but we have a chance to go home where we’re pretty comfortable.”

After a scoreless first period, Thunder Cats forward Carson Cart-wright got his team on the board in the second.

Nitros forward Jor-dan Roy scored early in the third period to force overtime, before Ward ended it.

In what’s turning out to be a goaltenders duel, Thunder Cats netmind-er Brock Lefebvre back-stopped his team to a Game-1 win with a 30-save effort.

“We know the level we’re going to get out of Brock on a night-to-night basis,” Dubois said. “He’s been strong all season.

“Our confidence level in him is 100 per cent.”

Saturday, Brouwer was the star in a Game-2 shutout as the Nitros topped the Thunder Cats 2-0, drawing the best-of-seven series even at 1-1 heading into Game 3 Monday in Creston.

“Both nights, the goaltending [at both ends] was phenomenal,” Bancks said. “Tyson’s a winner. Tyson’s a battler.

“He’s at a bit of a dis-

advantage being a small-er goalie, but he’s also very quick. He gets down low, he moves and he seems to find [the puck]. He’s impressed me. He’s a great kid. He deserves what he’s getting.”

Dynamiters forward Coy Prevost opened the scoring with a pow-er-play goal Saturday and his first-period tally stood as the eventual game-winning marker thanks to a 25-save shut-out effort from Brouwer.

Nitros captain Jason Richter added the only necessary insurance on the man advantage in the second period, as the Dynamiters power-play went 2-for-4 Saturday.

Despite the loss, Le-febvre was stellar once again, turning aside 25 shots.

“[Saturday] was a 0-0 game at even strength,” Dubois said. “We look at it -- we came in here and played, basically, six and a half periods over two days and gave up one even-strength goal against a very good team. You take that.”

The two teams get back to blows Monday with Game 3 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.

Game 4 goes Tues-day in Creston. Puck drop for both games is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

“You’ve got to log your minutes,” Bancks said looking forward to

Game 3. “Every minute you can play is giving someone else a rest. That’s kind of how a sev-en-game series works. One day of rest then you’re right back at it for two straight. That’s the

preparation, basically -- get your rest and make sure you’re ready to be in the moment.”

With the series split through two games, there will be a Game 5, which is scheduled for

Thursday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“We showed over two games in a really tough building that we’re right there with them,” Dubois said. “The optimistic view is we take that back

to our home ice, which is a smaller rink, and we finish a bit [around the net] and we’re ahead of them.”

If necessary, the teams return to Creston for Game 6 Friday night.

Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You know what you want, but you might not think you have the energy to get it. Tap into a friend’s ideas, and you will know that you’ll be OK. Take the first step and reach out to a loved one. Trust in this person’s con-fidence in you. Tonight: Run an errand or two. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Assume your natural role and get a conversation moving. You might not realize it, but ulti-mately your suggestions will define what happens. You could be considering doing something very different. Be willing to ex-periment. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) How you see a matter is often different from how others see it. Today, you’ll gain insight through your ability to detach. Perhaps your response will be different, as you are no longer so emotional and can understand many facets of the issue. To-night: Read between the lines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with others directly, and

you will be pleased with the rapport you establish and the tidbits you hear as well. You can’t help but make people feel special, because you take the time to listen to them. Tonight: A friend drops in on you and adds to the fun of the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You won’t intend to challenge someone, but you will do just that by pointing out a problem. The response you get could be quite subtle, yet how you deal with this person might be com-plex. Give the other party time to calm down. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The idea of diving into a project will appeal to you, but plan on fighting off distractions in all forms. Closing your door might not work. Lighten up and face facts: You probably are going to have to adjust your schedule. To-night: Choose a favorite stress-buster. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have focus, high energy and creativity on your side today. There could be disagreement,

but ultimately you’ll have the right argument and make the correct choice. Be clear about your approach. Ask for the sup-port you might need. Tonight: Try out a wild lifestyle. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel the need to stay close to home. Your abilities to state your feelings and your choices could intimidate some-one. See what happens when you speak in a more neutral tone. Others are likely to blos-som and become much more open. Tonight: Order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and listen to the responses you get. Honor a change, and be willing to go with it. Just because you might not agree does not mean you need to back away. A partner or dear friend seems to be slowly changing his or her view on a key issue. Tonight: Hang out. BORN TODAY Actress Dakota Fanning (1994), actor Peter Fonda (1940), busi-ness magnate Michael Dell (1965)

Dear Annie: I am a healthy 50-years-young woman in the midst of menopause. I also have been diagnosed as mentally ill with de-pression. I refuse to seek treatment. I come from a culture where the shame of admitting a mental illness is a fate worse than death. So I sleep a lot. I have a fine husband who wishes nothing more than to be in a happy, healthy relation-ship with me and our two young children. I hurt everyone in my family with my mercu-rial temper, frequent yelling over trivial mat-ters and causing general upset. For a while now, I have refused any intimacy whatso-ever with my husband, including sweet talk and touching. I am completely disinterested in sex. I know I am starving my husband, and he is suffering. I’ve told him to find someone else. What should I do? Please don’t tell me to get counseling. I have spoken to counsel-ors in the past, and nothing has helped be-cause I insist I am a victim and that all of my problems are someone else’s fault. I cannot admit that I need mental health assistance. I am miserable, in every sense of the word. -- Frigid in New Hampshire Dear Frigid: You’ve admitted to us that you need mental health assistance, and we agree. You are being unfair to yourself, as well as your family. So do you want to con-tinue being miserable, alienating your hus-band and children simply to avoid shame (of which there should be none), or do you genuinely want to make your life better? Whatever underlying issues you may have are likely exacerbated by menopause. If you cannot admit that you need help for depres-sion, perhaps you would seek help to alle-viate some of your menopausal symptoms. Your gynecologist can recommend medica-tion that can do both. Please try. Dear Annie: How do you tell a couple they have a filthy house? Up until recently, they seemed to make an effort, but lately, we find it difficult to accept invitations to their home. They are nice people, but we are not so close that we can tell them about this. Their two dogs have the run of the house. The cat is allowed to crawl on the kitchen counters and tables. There is a thick accu-mulation of pet hair that rolls across their floors like tumbleweed and sticks in the folds of their sofa. You could knit a sweat-er with what you’d sweep up in one room. When I leave their house, I feel like I need a bath. I know other families with pets, and their homes are cleaner. I don’t understand why they refuse to see it. If I confront them, I risk the friendship. If I quit accepting invitations, I risk the friend-ship. Is there a kind way to tell them? -- Lou-isville, Ky. Dear Louisville: Maintaining a hair-free home when you have three pets requires fre-quent cleaning, which your friends appar-ently are no longer up to handling. Are they in good health? Perhaps they are not phys-ically able to clean or supervise where the animals go. How is their vision? Maybe they cannot see the animal hair. If you can ex-press your concern about their health, that could be a kind way to approach the subject. Otherwise, feel free to make excuses not to visit, but please invite them to your home so they don’t feel you dislike them. Dear Annie: I could relate to the letter from “Frustrated.” When my husband lost inter-est in sex, I began to masturbate. I went to confession, and the priest explained that it is not a sin to accept the lesser of two evils. He told me to allow my husband to pleasure me when he is willing. Otherwise, I should do what I need to avoid the worst alternatives, such as adultery. It was so simple, and I am forever grateful to him. My wonderful husband and I still love each other, just not physically. -- Faith-ful and Satisfied Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Charles David White Dave White passed away peacefully on Feb 17th, 2015 in Penticton, at 88 years of age

As a young man, Dave served his machinist apprenticeship in Port Alice and later moved to Kimberley to work for Cominco. He changed careers in 1952 and teamed-up with Dick Johnson to open Melody

Motors, a Ford dealership. In 1969, he returned to work for Cominco and finished his career as a senior draftsman. After his retirement, Dave and his second wife, Mary, moved to Penticton where they have spent many happy years, including going south to Arizona in the winter months. Dave loved to participate in all sports with tennis and golf being two of his favourites. In Kimberley he liked to go jogging and was often seen out along the Wycliffe prairie. In later years in Penticton, he would go for bike rides along the canal. Dave was predeceased by his parents, first wife, Olga and brother, Godfrey. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary, her two daughters, Judy (Grant), Debbie (Ewen), and son, Barry (Adrienne), his two sons, Murray (Joan) and Allen (Donna), as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be sadly missed by all. A memorial service date has not yet been set. Donations in Dave’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the charity of your choice

Condolences may be sent to the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com.

NewsDeath of Vancouver Aquarium beluga

whale renews captivity breeding debateLaur a K ane

Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - The death of a beluga whale loaned by the Vancou-ver Aquarium to Orlan-do SeaWorld for breed-ing purposes is renew-ing the debate over whether cetaceans should be bred in cap-tivity.

SeaWorld officials said Nanuq died Thurs-day at the estimated age of 31 or 32. While the cause of death is not yet known, he had been undergoing treatment for an infection caused by a broken jaw that oc-curred in an encounter with other animals.

“The conversation has obviously been brought back to the table,” said Vancouver Park Board commis-sioner Michael Wiebe.

“Nanuq was some-one who I used to see as a kid, because I was a Vancouver Aquarium member. It’s important, and so we will look at how it was being treated and what the practices are and what we could do to make it better.”

He said the board ex-pects to begin discus-sions next week with the aquarium, with a decision on the bylaw

surrounding the keep-ing of cetaceans in cap-tivity expected later this year.

The board voted in November against end-ing the program allow-ing the cetacean popu-lation to multiply natu-rally at the popular tourist attraction, in-stead deciding to hold more consultations.

Vancouver Aquari-um is currently under-going a $100 million ex-pansion that will in-clude the installation of new, larger whale tanks. The aquarium has said it does not have an ac-

tive breeding program, but that copulation be-tween whales occurs at times.

The aquarium now owns eight belugas, four of which remain in U.S. SeaWorlds. Two are in Georgia Aquarium, and the other two, Aurora and Qila, who is Nanuq’s daughter, live in Vancouver’s aquari-um.

Nanuq was trans-ferred to Orlando Sea-World in 1997 and moved several times to breed at other facilities. The beluga was a popu-lar attraction for Sea-

World, with celebrities including Will Ferrell posing for photos with the large whale.

Vancouver Aquari-um declined an inter-view, but sent a state-ment that said the aquarium works closely with other accredited aquariums to manage the genetic diversity of belugas in human care.

“Under a co-opera-tive philosophy, each facility manages its own animals and each pro-vides exceptional care,” the statement said.

Kathleen Dezio, ex-ecutive director of the

Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, an associa-tion of which the Van-couver Aquarium is a member, said Nanuq’s death was an “unfortu-nate accident.”

She said in a state-ment that accredited aquariums are rigor-ously inspected every five years. Animals that might be sent on loan are carefully evaluated for temperament and suitability for blending into the new popula-tion, she said.

Animal Welfare In-stitute marine mammal scientist Naomi Rose said whales suffer ex-treme stress when they are moved between aquariums, as their bodies react as though they have been strand-ed when they are taken out of water.

Rose, a long-time SeaWorld critic, said it’s unlikely a beluga would suffer a broken jaw in the wild, as the whale would have had the space to flee from an aggressor.

“It’s not a common injury and yet it hap-pens in captivity be-cause they just can’t get away from each other,” she said.

VANCOUVER - The RCMP officer who stunned Robert Dz-iekanski with a Taser at Van-couver’s airport lied at a public inquiry, a judge ruled Friday, marking the first guilty verdict of any kind related to the Polish immigrant’s death.

Const. Kwesi Millington’s perjury conviction comes more than seven years after Dz-iekanski’s fatal confrontation with police, which stained the image of the RCMP and led to sweeping changes to how offi-cers across the country use Tasers.

Millington was among four Mounties summoned to Van-

couver’s airport in October 2007 after Dziekanski, who spoke no English, started throwing furniture in the inter-national terminal. Millington fired his Taser less than a min-ute after arriving.

The officers, who were never charged for their actions on the night of Dziekanski’s death, were compelled to explain what happened at a subsequent public inquiry, and all four were later charged with perjury.

The Crown alleged they lied when they attempted to recon-cile their initial accounts of what happened with an ama-teur video released later. Prose-cutors accused the officers of colluding on a story to tell in-

vestigators and then lying at the inquiry to cover it up.

B.C. Supreme Court Judge William Ehrcke described Mill-ington’s explanations at the in-quiry to be “simply preposter-ous” and he concluded the offi-cer had a strong motive to lie.

“The discrepancies are all in one direction: that of exaggerat-ing the threat posed by Mr. Dz-iekanski,” Ehrcke said Friday, as Millington listened from the prisoner’s dock.

“I find his explanation to be patently false.”

For example, Millington ini-tially said Dziekanski remained standing after the first jolt of the Taser and that the four officers wrestled the man to the ground.

The video clearly shows Dz-iekanski fell to the floor on his own almost as soon as he was stunned.

Millington told the inquiry he thought Dziekanski was standing when he pulled the trigger a second time and he said he honestly believed the officers wrestled Dziekanski to the ground, though he ac-knowledged in the face of the video that he was mistaken.

Ehrcke concluded the offi-cers must have spoken to each other before providing state-ments to homicide investiga-tors, but all four Mounties de-nied that.

“This the only rationale in-ference available,” Ehrcke said.

RCMP probing terror threat to West Edmonton MallC anadian PressTORONTO - The

RCMP says it’s investi-gating a reported video from the Al-Shabab group that appears to urge Muslims to attack shopping malls in west-ern countries - includ-ing the West Edmonton

Mall.Staff-Sgt. Brent

Meyer says the Mount-ies are investigating the “exact contents and au-thenticity” of the al-leged Al-Shabab video.

The Washing-ton-based terrorism monitoring group SITE,

widely considered au-thoritative on such matters, says the video from the Somalian Is-lamic extremist group calls for attacks on malls in Canada, the U.S. and Britain.

The brief reference to the West Edmonton

Mall is near the end of a 76-minute documenta-ry style video about the 2013 attack on the up-scale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, in which 67 people were killed.

“What if such an at-tack were to occur in the Mall of America in

Minnesota? Or the West Edmonton Mall in Can-ada? Or in London’s Oxford Street?” a masked man said on the video.

Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the at-tack in Kenya.

The exciTing life of me

I’m very short. When I reach for items that are up high, it’s always a pain! When I cross the finish line first in running races it’s also a shocker! I also have blond hair. It’s funny because when I was only a few months old, I had hard as black as nighttime. Sadly, I’m one of those people who were unfortu-nate enough to be stuck with horri-ble eyesight. I really hate glasses. At the age of 10, I got so fed up with them I started begging my parents for contact lenses. In fact, I did so until the point of exhaustion. When I ask someone to try to de-scribe me, the first thing people say is that I have incredibly small hands.

I also really love to dance! Once, I got so into the music that when I was jumping off another dancer’s back, I was only inches away from falling right off the stage! I’m an outdoor person as well. There are so many things I like doing outside such as hiking, skiing, swimming in lakes and cliff jumping. My all-time favourite sport is definitely ski-ing. One time, when I was five years old, I was determined to be as fast as my big brother. I ended up get-ting stuck in a ditch with my ski twisted the wrong way around! Another time when I went at Kokanee Creek camp-ground, I jumped off a 25 foot high tower. It was so scary!

Sometimes I lay awake in bed dreaming of going some-where fare away from here, somewhere like Paris, Switzer-land, Disneyland, Asia or Quebec. Most of all, I want to go to Switzerland. I would absolutely love to go there because my brother was born there and my family lived there for four years. I’ve heard my dad talk endlessly about his experiences there. Once, he even got to go to an all-you-can-eat chocolate factory with his class at the Kennedy School! My family has also gone to the Swiss Alps many times; they’re so lucky! An-other place that would be a dream come true is Paris, France. The reason I’d go there e is mainly to get a chance to speak a lot of French and to see the Eiffel tower. I’ve heard how amaz-ing it looks at night.

My bucket list is full of lots of spontaneous things such as skydiving, bungee jumping from a height of at least 20 feet, get point shoes, learn to surf, become a doctor to help people battling cancer, and many more. The item on that list that I would like to accomplish most is probably to become a doc-tor because I have had so many people in my life deal with cancer that I really want to make a difference. When I get determined, I never give up. This will help me become a doc-tor. Number two on my short bucket list is to learn to surf. I want to accomplish learning to surf because I’ve always had a love for swimming and I think being able to ride on the waves of the ocean would be so cool! I’ve heard even vertical-ly challenged people can surf the enormous waves.

A legend: How zebra got it’s stripesA long, long time ago there lived a big eagle. He flew above

the sunny African desert, and would always pick on beautiful zebra. Zebra would just ignore him, but eagle just kept pick-ing on him.

Zebra decided to go to sleep. While zebra was asleep, eagle took a deep, deep breath and scratched zebra and he made big black stripes. When zebra work up, he didn’t know he had stripes. Later on zebra found out! he went to eagle.

He said, “did you scratch my fur?”“Yes I did,” said eagle. Zebra said, “well, that was rude!”So eagle said, “I will make you a promise. I will not scratch

your skin if you go to the magic pool!”“Ok,” said zebra. So zebra had a big journey and he was

finally there. He swam in it and when he got out, he was cov-

ered in stripes. That night, zebra went to sleep. While he was sleeping,

eagle scratched him again! And zebra woke up. Zebra went to the eagle and asked how he was doing. Zebra said, “you scratched me, you are breaking a promise.”

“Oh, I apologize,” said eagle. Eagle learned from now on not to break promises.

The Incredible Journey Through the Digestive SystemOne day Maddy the Mini Apple was spending time with

her friends laughing and joking. Suddenly the world started to shake and rumble and they found themselves being lifted into the air. Ahead Maddy the Mini Apple saw the sun gleam off big white pearly teeth. A high pitched scream escaped from Maddy’s mouth, “Noooooo!” The teeth crashed down, luckily just missing Maddy.

In an instant, Maddy the Mini Apple was inside a moist dark mouth, as the teeth continues to crash down around them. Maddy the Mini Apple watched as her friends were broken up into small pieces by the vicious teeth. Out of the dark, a large slimy tongue started pushing her towards the teeth, Maddy the Mini Apple quickly ducked as the came down, just missing her, again. Maddy the Mini Apple watched as saliva covered what was left of her friends and started to cry. That second she was pushed into the esophagus and slowly went down.

Up ahead Maddy the Mini Apple saw her friends connect-ed together. She tried to pull herself down but it was no use. Maddy the Mini Apple was bored. She had no friends left. Then she saw something very strange. Her friends went down this hole very quickly and never understood what had hap-pened in the esophagus. Five minutes later, Maddy the Mini Apple didn’t want to go down this mysterious hole and tried to climb out but it didn’t work.

Maddy the Mini Apple was in the stomach. She fell and made a huge splash in the stomach acid! She floated around looking for something to grab. A big thing of food floated to-wards her and Maddy the Mini Apple grabbed on the pieces of food and realized it was her friends. A tear fell from her cheek and into what was left of her friends as they went into another hole and into the duodenum.

Maddy the Mini Apple picked up her chewed up friends as they arrived at the duodenum. Maddy the Mini Apple turned around and an enzyme was speedily going towards her. She ducked and the enzyme hit her friends. Maddy the Mini Apple dodged the rest of the enzymes as her friends moved

through the duodenum when they reached the end, an enzyme hit Maddy and a hole appeared in her skin.

They went into the small intes-tine. In the small intestine the villi eat most of the food, but not this time. Maddy the Mini Apple grabbed all the food the villi were going to eat, but every minute or two the villi would eat some of Maddy the Mini Apple and friends. In about the middle of the small intestine, Maddy the Mini Apple fell down in exhaustion and the villi ate most of her friends.

When Maddy the Mini Apple woke up, she was still in the small intestine, but her friends that she was laying on were mostly gone. Maddy the Mini Apple quickly grabbed what was left of her friends into her arms and ran as fast as she could, still dodging the Villi and in about one minute Maddy the Mini Apple saw the end of the vicious villi.

She sprinted to the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. Maddy the Mini Apple laid down on what was left of her friends and pushed it into the large intestine. A tear

went down her cheek. One of the villi snapped at her and she raced after what

was left of her friends. She caught up with them and Maddy the Mini Apple looked at her friends.

She wondered. It seemed that the blob of Maddy’s friends had dried out! Maddy the Mini Apple shrugged and hopped on her chewed up friends, and took a nap through the large intestine. As she slept, Maddy the Mini Apple wondered what had happened in this last hour. Maddy the Mini Apple woke up and found herself at the most interesting part: the rectum.

Maddy the Mini Apple grabbed her friends. Maddy looked down the rectum. A piece of food fell, Maddy the Mini Apple decided to jump into the anus with her friends. Maddy the Mini Apple had fall into a giant toilet! She grabbed the side and climbed out and never forgot what had happened on the incredible journey through the digestive system.
