CPL, CHRIS NE WELFor the Bulletin

In the past week Kimberley RCMP noted a spike in thefts in various areas and want to remind the public to lock their vehicles.

The first occurred on Saturday morn-ing (Feb 21) in Marysville when two sub-jects were seen running from an abandon truck around 1:15 am. Police attended, located the registered owner and deter-mined it had been stolen. While following up on that police were alerted to a theft from vehicle, subject(s) had taken a tool box, from pick-up truck. The tool box was recovered a few blocks away. Police at-tempted to track the suspects by following foot prints in the snow and noted that the tracks lead to a number of vehicles prior to the theft location.

On Feb 25 police received a report where a knife was stolen from a vehicle near the downtown core of Kimberley. Two vehicles had been broken into and gone through. On the same day a report was received about a vehicle at Lussier Hot Springs that was damaged and a wal-let stolen.

Please ensure you keep your vehicle locked and valuables out of sight.

Although the police are out in the com-munity actively patrolling areas, public education and awareness is often the key to curtaining criminal activity.

Lock it or lose it, police say

Lunch with the Mayor in Kimberley is proving quite popular and will continue, says Mayor Don McCormick.

“We had about 20 people to February’s lunch,” he said. “I just opened it up to ques-tions and we discussed a wide range of topics. It was a good discussion.”

The lunches are held the second Wednesday of every month.

RCMP REPORT

Team BC scores four medals in cross-country skiing;

Kimberley athletes contribute to three of them

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

How about those Kimberley cross-coun-try skiers? When a town as small as Kimber-ley sends only two athletes to the Canada Games and they come home with three med-als, that’s something to be very proud of.

On Saturday, Team BC picked up a silver in the Women’s Relay and a bronze in the Men’s. Molly Miller of Kimberley, only 13 and in her first Canada Games, had a big contri-bution to BC’s silver medal.

In the first transition, Team BC was sitting in sixth place when Miller started out on the course.

“I caught the first two athletes pretty quickly and stayed with them until about one kilometer in and then I passed the Ontario skier. I was happy to know we were in medal contention,” said Miller.

Team BC continued to gain through the relay and took second place. The BC team consisted of Katherine Weaver (North Van-couver), Molly Miller (Kimberley), Hannah Mehain (Vernon) and Eliza-Jane Kitchen (North Vancouver).

The men’s relay team obviously fed off the energy of the women’s silver. Julien Locke (Nelson), Colin Ferrie (Kimberley), David Palmer (Revelstoke) and Geoffrey Richards (Rossland) had a similar start to the women and were chasing the pack after the first two legs. When Palmer began the third leg he was in a dead head for third position. “Every-one was going really hard off the start and I managed to get in front for a bit but then I crashed and broke a pole.” In the 15km race earlier in the week, Palmer also broke a pole but, once again he was given a replacement pole by another team on the course.

On the final leg Richards started off in fourth position. “I felt good heading out and saw potential to move up. I was just working and fighting hard to catch the leaders.”

Ferrie had previously won a gold in the sprint last week. Team BC took four medals in cross-country skiing with Kimberley ath-letes contributing to three of them.

Miller, Ferrie both medal on final weekend

Laur a K aneCanadian Press

A leader of a remote British Columbia reli-gious commune is ask-ing the province’s Su-preme Court to quash a polygamy charge against him.

Winston Blackmore filed a petition to the

court on Friday arguing the charge must be tossed out, less than a month before he was to appear in court to de-cide on a judge or jury trial.

The petition argues the B.C. attorney gener-al improperly appointed Peter Wilson, the special

prosecutor who laid the charge against Black-more and three other men.

It’s a similar argu-ment to one Black-more’s lawyer success-fully made in 2009, when a judge tossed a polygamy charge be-cause of how the prov-

ince appointed its spe-cial prosecutor.

Lawyer Joe Arvay is once again arguing that a 2007 decision made by an earlier special prose-cutor still stands, and the attorney general ille-gally appointed addi-tional special prosecu-tors.

In 2007, special pros-ecutor Richard Peck concluded that polyga-my was the root cause of alleged problems in the small community of Bountiful, B.C., in the province’s southern in-terior.

But rather than rec-ommend charges, he called for the constitu-tional question to be re-ferred to the B.C. Court of Appeal, with a likely appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

“He did so in order that the members of the Bountiful community would have an authori-tative and expeditious judicial resolution of the legal controversy sur-

rounding polygamy, and if the law was up-held, fair notice that their practice of polyga-my must cease,” the pe-tition reads.

But then-attorney general Wally Oppal de-clined to refer the case, instead appointing more special prosecu-tors until one recom-mended charges in 2009 against Blackmore and another Bountiful lead-er, James Oler.

Arvay argued at the time that Peck’s initial decision should be the final word on the matter, and a judge agreed and dismissed the case.

That prompted the B.C. government to

launch a constitutional reference case, which ultimately ended with a B.C. Supreme Court judge concluding that the law making polyga-my illegal don’t violate the religious protections in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Then in 2012, Shirley Bond, the attorney gen-eral at the time, ap-pointed Wilson as a spe-cial prosecutor. He ap-proved charges against Blackmore and Oler in August.

Blackmore and Oler became leaders of sepa-rate factions in Bounti-ful when the religious community split a de-cade ago.

Blackmore is ac-cused of 24 marriages, while Oler is accused of four marriages and is charged along with two other people with un-lawfully removing a child from Canada for sexual purposes.

The allegations have not been proven in court.

The petition not only calls for Blackmore’s charge to be dropped, it also argues that Wilson’s appointment should be ruled invalid and costs should be paid to Black-more.

Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie said he was aware of the peti-tion but it would not be appropriate to com-ment on the “content or issues” it raises at this time.

“The prosecution in question remains before the court and is in the hands of Mr. Wilson as special prosecutor,” he said in an email.

Cranbrook RCMP responded to a report of a home on fire in the 1400 Block of 30th Ave-nue North, shortly after 0530 this morning. Po-lice arrived to find a home engulfed in flames. Occupants of the residence were able to escape the burning

building without injury. During the course of the investigation on-scene, police also de-termined that there were multiple other suspicious fire starts in the same residential area near the scene of the initial blaze.

Police believe that these fires were deliber-

ately set, and as such, are investigating these incidents as criminal acts.

Cranbrook RCMP Staff-Sergeant Dave Dubnyk expressed re-lief that no one was in-jured, and voiced the concern of all emergen-cy responders about the possible tragic con-

sequences of such a de-spicable act.

Residents of the area who may have seen anything suspicious, or have information about the identity of those re-sponsible are asked to contact the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471, or Crimestoppers at 250-489-8477.

Suspicious fire in Cranbrook

CRANBROOK – Over the last two weeks seven top chefs from restau-rants in Cranbrook and Kimberley went head-to-head in soup-making competition at the Salva-tion Army Soup Kitchen, using only the donated ingredients on hand. Today, concluding five memorable culinary cook-offs, soup feasts, and chef match-ups, the Salvation Army clients cast their final vote.

Chef Doug Wagner of St. Eugene Mission Re-sort produced a crowd pleaser, preparing a deli-cious BBQ chicken soup. But it was five votes shy of Schiller’s Tomato Beef Vegetable soup. This means next Wednesday, Chef Shelby Schiller of BJ’s Diner and Creekside Pub in Kimberley will go against Kathy Morey, Sal-vation Army cook, for the

title of Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Chef 2015.

“I heard from Doug on Monday that there had been ground beef in the Salvation Army kitch-en, so I was hoping it was still there and that I’d find some cabbage today,” said Chef Schiller. “And I did! The soup I made is a family soup that has been passed down through the generations. It was really nice to be part of this event, share my cooking, and get to see people en-joying my soup.”

Both Schiller and Wagner were strategic in their approach and want-ed to cater to the Salva-tion Army guest’s taste, which seemed to trend towards hearty, pro-tein-rich soups with dis-tinct flavour.

“My goal today was to make something unique from what I made last

week,” said Wagner, who won his initial round with a cheeseburger chowder. “I was surprised at actu-ally how different the foods were today from what was here last week, which really speaks to the volume of meals this kitchen is putting out.”

Morey and Schiller will compete at the grand finale event on March 4, noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort and Convention Centre. Tickets to the public event are available in two prices: $25 for lunch; or, $45 for lunch and a $20 charitable re-ceipt. They can be pur-chased with cash at Max’s Place or by calling 250-426-1119.

“It was a really good event,” said CJ, a Salva-tion Army guest who sampled all soups in the competition and cast his

vote after every chef chal-lenge. “I liked trying the different soups and it was fun voting on your favou-rite. I looked forward to coming in for lunch and knew we might get to try something a bit different. I hope we get to have this here again.”

The Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort and Convention Centre is sponsoring the final event, as well as provid-ing the Grand Ballroom, staff, and food at no cost, ensuring 100 per cent of proceeds from ticket sales go directly towards the Salvation Army homeless shelter project, as well as the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation general en-dowment fund, which provides annual grants to local non-profits.

From Page 3Skills BC is a non-prof-

it organization that part-ners with government, educators, private indus-try and labour to pro-mote and celebrate skilled trades and tech-nologies. With the loom-ing shortage of skilled trades and technology workers in the province, Skills BC looks to encour-age students to explore trades and technology career options by provid-ing them with positive and exciting hands-on experiences.

Competitions will be taking place in 13 regions across BC. Winners of

the regional competi-tions will advance to the Provincials in Abbotsford in April where they will have the chance of ad-vancing to the National and World Skills compe-titions.

College of the Rockies’ Regional Transition Co-ordinator and co-chair of the Skills BC Steering Committee Brian Conrad says, “The competition serves to celebrate and reward students for their excellence in trade or technology skills and to create an interactive and engaging environment for the many young peo-ple who attend the com-petitions as spectators.”

In an effort to further encourage youth to dis-cover trades, two hun-dred grade five and six students from Cranbrook

will be bussed to the Col-lege to observe the skills competitions and to test out a trade with one of the exhibitors on-site. Local grade four and five students will be creating spaghetti bridges and bringing them to the event to be tested by Col-lege physics instructor Jim Bailey.

“These events are part of the provincial initiative to raise awareness of technical trades and of the rewards of these ca-reer options. We encour-age parents and the pub-lic to also come to the College to check out the activities,” notes Conrad.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

“Every time I call (my mother),” said Rus-sian opposition lead-

er Boris Nemtsov recently, “she gives me a talking-to: ‘When will you stop being rude about Putin? He’ll kill you.’”

Now Nemtsov is dead: four bullets in the back as he was walking home in Moscow with his girlfriend on Friday night. The protest march against Putin and the war in Ukraine that he was planning to lead on Sunday became a memorial march instead.

So, two questions. Did Pres-ident Vladimir Putin order the assassination? And if he didn’t, then who did, and why?

The hit was carried out with professional skill only three minutes’ walk from Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, in an area that is infested day and night by militia (po-lice) on con-stant alert to break up d e m o n s t r a -tions. You could put to-gether a feature-length film with the footage from the countless CCTV cameras that tracked Nemtsov’s walk across the square and down to the bridge where he died.

It took accurate intelligence to know where Nemtsov would be on Friday night, and serious organisation and planning to carry out the killing in such a heavily policed area. That points to members of the mili-tary or security forces, though not necessarily to ones who were acting on official orders. Because the first thing to say about this murder is that it did not serve Putin’s purposes.

No doubt the Russian presi-dent disliked and despised Nemtsov, but neither he nor any other opposition leader posed any threat to Putin’s power. Thanks in large part to his seizure of Crimea and his military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Putin is currently en-

joying an 85 percent approval rating with the Russian public. Why risk upsetting this happy relationship with the first pub-lic killing of a senior political figure in more than a decade?

It’s much more likely that the killing was carried out by serving or former soldiers or intelligence officers who took it upon themselves to eliminate an “anti-patriotic” politician who condemned “Putin’s War” in Ukraine. In the superheated atmosphere of nationalist paranoia that currently pre-vails in Russia, such people could easily imagine that they were doing just what Putin se-cretly wanted.

Putin is too clever to want that, and immediately con-demned the killing as “vile and cynical.” It was a curious choice of words: “vile”, of course, but

why “cynical”? The reason be-came clear when various senior regime members began hinting that the murder was a “provoca-tion” by the

Western intelligence services or even by Nemtsov’s own op-position colleagues, killing him to stimulate dissent and bring the Russian state into disre-pute.

This murder will have no permanent impact either on Russia’s internal politics or on its relations with the rest of the world. The paranoid style is now so deeply entrenched in Russian politics that people who support Putin (i.e. most people) will either believe the nonsense about Nemtsov’s murder being a “provocation”, or be privately glad that Putin acts so decisively (as they imagine) to protect Russia from its myriad enemies.

As for the rest of the world (or at least the “western” part of the world), it has already written Putin off as a man you can do business with. The Rus-sian leader is, in many West-erners’ eyes, an expansionist

warlord who can only be con-tained by sanctions and threats. It may even take a new Cold War to stop him. Paranoia, alas, is a communicable disease.

The Western narrative that seeks to explain how, in less than a year, we have arrived at a point where the United States is contemplating supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine to kill Russian troops, has several large gaps. The first is that the revolution on the Maidan in Kiev last winter overthrew a le-gitimately elected Ukrainian president only a year before the next elections were due.

Putin initially accepted that outcome (with the elections moved up to only one month in the future), which was bro-kered by the European Union. In other words, he accepted the illegal overthrow of the pro-Moscow president, Viktor Yanukovych, so long as free elections followed rapidly. Quite possibly because he thought Yanukovych’s sup-porters in the east might boost him back into the presidency again.

That same thought may also be why the revolutionaries in Kiev broke the deal and insist-ed on Yanukovych’s immediate

removal from power. It was only then that Putin concluded that he was faced with a West-ern plot to whisk Ukraine into NATO and create a strategic and political threat on Russia’s southern frontier.

There was no such plot: NATO has not the slightest de-sire to assume responsibility for the defence of Ukraine. But there was a great deal of open Western rejoicing at Russia’s discomfiture, and Putin lost his customary cool and responded with the annexation of Crimea and then the encouragement of pro-Russian rebels in south-eastern Ukraine.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Lord Acton. “All great men are bad.” In that sense, Putin is a bad man, and more dangerous for being both paranoid and increasingly iso-lated. (His circle of advisers has dwindled to a handful of hawks.) But he is not planning to conquer even Ukraine, let alone the rest of the former Soviet empire, and he almost certainly did not order Nemtsov’s death.

Letters to the editoridlewild dam

As a daily visitor to Idlewild Peace Park I was disappointed to hear the news that City Council has decided to decommis-sion the dam and drain the lake.

Perhaps what disappoints me most is how such a significant discussion was had behind closed doors.

Mayor Pratt’s Monday night an-nouncement on the decision and the press release the following day did not mention the likelihood of the dam to fail. Is this level of closed-door secrecy a pre-view of how the new Mayor and Council intend to arrive at Cranbrook’s conten-

tious decisions to avoid the democratic process?

If high consequence dams are to be inspected annually does the City have a report by MFLNRO recommending im-mediate decommissioning? The Infor-mation Package for the Five-Year Finan-cial Plan certainly did not provide any indications that an engineering project to this magnitude was on the radar. The City has allocated $660,000 of the Reserve Fund to “Idlewild [sic] Lake dredging/dam repair” yet with a $2.5 million price tag estimated for the project I can’t help but wonder how long the lake will be left as a trickle if the City is relying on city

groups and the RDEK for the remaining money?

As a park visitor, I feel the benefits as-signed to preserving the lake have been under-valued. I want to know what the Urban Systems 2014 report presented as other options for the dam’s future and how City Council selected this route as the most reasonable plan.

If this was not an easy choice for Mayor Pratt and Council, and our views are val-ued, can the city provide us with more information before draining the lake?

MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2015

Next Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. we spring forward into Daylight Savings Time — Summer Time as they call it in Britain.

Springing forward means more light in the evening, less in the morning. But there are a growing number of people who be-lieve Daylight Savings should be abolished altogether. Just stop it. Who would care? Certain-ly not residents of Creston or Saskatchewan, who simply refuse to get on board.

Faced with having to wake up an hour earlier on work days, I tend to agree. Because suddenly 7 a.m. is 8 a.m., and your body, having become used to the slow increase of light in the morning must suddenly readjust to waking in the dark again. Did you know studies have shown that the risk of having a heart attack in-creases in the first three days after switch-ing to DST?

I did not know that either, but I do now, having decided to delve into research about Daylight Savings Time. I now know more about DST than I really wanted to and find myself more confused than ever.

For instance:A study by the U.S. Law Enforcement

Assistance Administration found that crime was consistently less during periods of Daylight Saving Time than during com-parable standard time periods. Data showed violent crime down 10 to 13 per-cent. It is clear that for most crimes where

darkness is a factor, such as muggings, there are many more incidents after dusk than before dawn, so light in the evening is most welcome. Score one for the continu-ation of DST.

Studies link DST to reduced road inju-ries. A joint Transport Research Laborato-

ry and University College of London study predicted that fewer people would be killed and injured in road acci-dents if one hour of daylight was transferred from the morning to the afternoon. Score two.

But conversely traffic ac-cidents increase on the Monday following the start of DST. Tired drivers is the main reason. Remove the point.

But put it back again because the tour-ism industry believes DST makes people stay out later, spending more money on festivals, concerts, golf etc.

Confused yet?Daylight Savings has been around for

about 100 years, first appearing in Germa-ny then Britain during the First World War, the rationale being that it would minimize the use of artificial light, saving fuel for the war effort. But ancient civilizations are known to have engaged in a practice simi-lar to modern DST where they would ad-just their daily schedules to the sun’s schedule. For example, the Roman water clocks used different scales for differ-ent months of the year, according to time-anddate.com

The switch to DST was not easy and led to much argument in jurisdictions all over the world.

One intriguing argument against it was put forward by Lord Balfour in Britain.

“Supposing some unfortunate lady was confined with twins and one child was born 10 minutes before 1 o’clock. ... the time of birth of the two children would be reversed. ... Such an alteration might con-ceivably affect the property and titles in that House.”

In the spring, for one night there is a gap when no babies are born at all: from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. — a baby black hole.

In November 2007, Laura Cirioli of North Carolina gave birth to Peter at 1:32 a.m. and, 34 minutes later, to Allison. How-ever, because Daylight Saving Time revert-ed to Standard Time at 2 a.m., Allison was born at 1:06 a.m. Thus the older child was born later than the younger.

Here is an even more interesting DST nugget of knowledge.

In September 1999, the West Bank was on Daylight Saving Time while Israel had just switched back to standard time. West Bank terrorists prepared time bombs and smuggled them to their Israeli counter-parts, who misunderstood the time on the bombs. As the bombs were being planted, they exploded — one hour too early — kill-ing three terrorists instead of the intended victims — two bus loads of people.

I have lost count of pros and cons at this point. I am so confused. I hope I remem-ber to set my clock ahead this Sunday.

Sunday Funday in FernieKimberley Dynamiters defeat Ghostriders in Game 1Taylor rocc a

Sports Editor

The second round of the KIJHL playoffs kick-started Sunday in Fernie and the Kimberley Dy-namiters picked up where they left off in round one, earning a 5-2 victory over the Fernie Ghostriders to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eddie Mountain Divi-sion final.

“We played a really good first period and then the second [peri-od], a lack of discipline -- too many penalties -- kind of got them going and they played hard

after that,” said Kimber-ley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Sun-day. “It was exactly what we expected. It was great for the fans, great for the area. This is going to be a barn-burner of a series. Game 1 was definitely a barn-burner.”

The Dynamiters capi-talized in the first period, building a quick 2-0 lead.

“Our first period was somewhat chaos,” Fernie head coach and general manager Craig Mohr told Sara Moulton of the Fernie Free Press. “Cred-it to them. They came out and played a great first period. They got on us, they were getting to loose pucks before us.”

Braden Saretsky tal-lied a power-play marker before Coy Prevost blast-ed a puck past Ghostrid-ers goaltender Jeff Orser for a two-goal advantage after 20 minutes.

Justin Peers got the hosts on the board late in the second period, tak-ing a Cole Keebler pass and snapping a shot low past the blocker of Nitros goalie Tyson Brouwer.

As much as stealing home ice from the Ghostriders features as a key storyline for the Dy-namiters after Game 1, perhaps the key to how the series plays out from here comes in the status of Brouwer.

Brouwer did not re-turn for the third period after suffering what Bancks classified as a lower-body injury.

Brody Nelson fin-ished the game with Brouwer out of action.

“[Brody] is a quality

goaltender who hasn’t had a lot of playoff op-portunity,” Bancks said. “He was ready. He made one of the best saves I’ve seen all year and he was very calm in there. I’m excited for him to get the opportunity. I feel awful for Tyson because he was on a roll.

“That’s hockey. Someone’s misfortune is opportunity for some-one else. I believe in Brody. He will carry us.”

Brouwer will be re-evaluated Monday.

Ghostriders defence-man Dan Burgess tallied his first KIJHL goal with a long point shot that found a way past Nelson 11:14 into the third peri-od, tying the game 2-2.

With time winding down and 553 fans in the Fernie Memorial Arena preparing for overtime, Eric Buckley took a long stretch pass from Alex Rosolowsky before breaking in and going high glove on Orser.

Buckley’s goal gave the Nitros a 3-2 edge with 4:23 remaining.

Game 2 between Kimberley and Fernie is set for 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Fernie Memorial Arena.

“We go to Game 2 and we said all year we don’t lose two in a row. We worked on that all year for reasons like this,” Mohr said. “[Mon-day] is a new day. We get back to it. We’ve got to play better than them and get a win. That’s what’s beautiful about the playoffs.”

The Kootenay Ice wrapped a four-game eastern road swing by splitting a two-game set with the Brandon Wheat Kings this past weekend.

Friday night, the Ice used the shootout as the avenue to victory for the second game in a row, edging the Wheat Kings 3-2 courtesy Jaedon De-scheneau’s skills-com-petition tally. The Ice previously defeated the Regina Pats 5-4 in the shootout Wednesday.

Saturday, the Wheat Kings exacted revenge, knocking off the Ice 6-4.

“I liked our team’s play [Friday] but [Satur-day] I didn’t think we had any competitive-ness,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill Sunday afternoon. “Some of our guys had the mentality that they were satisfied with only having to get two points. It was right there for us.

“We know how des-perate we are for points. I’ve said before, some-times this team isn’t committed. We’re only going to go as far as they want to go.”

Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin turned in a 32-save, first-star perfor-mance to backstop his team to victory Friday. The 20-year-old native of Sherwood Park, Alta., also turned aside three of four attempts in the shootout, the lone goal coming off the stick of R i h a r d s Bukarts.

Bukarts forced the ov e r t i m e p e r i o d with his 28th of the s e a s o n with 3:27 to play in regulation after Ice forward Matt Al-faro had put the Ice ahead 2-1 midway through the third period.

Ice captain Sam Re-inhart opened the scor-ing with a power-play tally in the second peri-od, before Wheat Kings forward Morgan Klim-chuk tied the game 1-1 in the final minute of the second.

Saturday, it was Peter Quenneville’s time to shine as the 20-year-old

Edmonton native tallied scored twice, including the game-winning marker, in a 6-4 Wheat Kings win.

Hoflin was yanked after giving up three goals on 11 shots, as Jayce Hawryluk, Bukarts and Ivan Provorov com-

bined to chase the Ice net-m i n d e r after only eight min-utes of ac-tion.

Keelan W i l l i a m s came on in r e l i e f , t u r n i n g aside 28 of

the 30 shots directed his way.

Despite the efforts of Williams, a two-goal re-sponse from Tim Bozon and a third-period rally fuelled off goals from Rinat Valiev and Jaedon Descheneau, the Ice came up short as Klim-chuk sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

Goaltender Jordan Papirny made 27 stops for the win Saturday.

The Ice get back to

practice Tuesday in preparation for a Friday home date against the Red Deer Rebels.

With eight games re-maining on the slate, the Ice sit in the Eastern Conference’s first wild-card slot, holding a sev-en-point cushion on the Edmonton Oil Kings. The Oil Kings have two games in hand on the Ice.

“We want to be con-sistent with out play,” McGill said. “I’d like to see a few players play with more courage in hard areas of the game so that when we go into the playoffs, we can rely on everybody.

“I shouldn’t have to squeeze it out of them. It should come from with-in the group. It should come with having the will to win and having the will to succeed and do really well. At this point, I’ve said it before, the team’s got to take over from the coaching staff at some point and we haven’t seen that yet.”

For the Kootenay Ice, the final eight games of the season all come against Central Division opponents: Calgary Hit-men (2), Lethbridge Hurricanes (2), Medi-cine Hat Tigers (2), Red Deer Rebels (2).

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll want to start a conversa-tion, but you might find it dif-ficult. An unexpected situation will open up many possibilities for you. Be careful when dealing with your personal finances. Try not to be so willing to say “yes” immediately. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. BORN TODAY Author Dr. Seuss (1904), pol-itician Sam Houston (1793), singer/songwriter Jon Bon Jovi (1962)

Dear Annie: My husband’s sister con-trolled his mother’s finances. “Carol” paid the nursing home with her mother’s credit card and gained reward points, which she used for vacations while Mom was still alive. My husband was the one who han-dled doctor visits, brought Mom to our home for dinner and did all of the neces-sary errands. Carol told me she would not care for Mom if her money ran out. When Mom died, she left a small estate that took Carol over a year to distribute, and she kept a few thousand dollars in a sepa-rate account. Carol recently announced that she is going to have a memorial for Mom, and we would rent a nice cottage on a lake so we could scatter Mom’s ashes where she had enjoyed many summers. That’s fine. But Carol proceeded to put a deposit down on a big cottage, made a list of everyone she wanted to attend and then informed my husband that we would have to get our own cottage at our own expense. I have never seen my husband so angry and upset. Once he had calmed down, I suggested he call Carol and tell her off. Instead, he said this is just her personality and forget about it. My husband has always been the whip-ping boy for Carol. He tells me to find it in my heart to forgive, but I’m tired of forgiv-ing this type of cruel and selfish behavior. I refuse to go to this memorial, because I view it as one last vacation on Mom’s dime. I told my husband to go without me, but I know I’ll resent it if he goes, and he’ll resent me if he stays. I really need some help deal-ing with this last slap in the face. -- Stunned Once Again Dear Stunned: You are thinking of this as a favor for Carol, but it is really for your husband. He wants to attend the memo-rial and have your emotional support. By refusing, you are only hurting him. Carol won’t care whether you are there or not. We agree that she is behaving terribly, but it serves no purpose to rile up your husband by emphasizing Carol’s mistreatment and selfishness. It won’t change her. It will only make your husband more unhappy. Please go with him and let him deal with Carol as he chooses. Dear Annie: I am eight months pregnant. It floors me how many friends say, “Wow, you’re getting so big” every time I see them. Recently, I overheard someone tell a preg-nant woman, “You look a lot bigger than with your last one.” Most women I know are not thrilled about gaining weight, even during pregnancy, and it is easy to be self-conscious about our changing shape. We don’t need such insensitive comments. I know these people aren’t trying to be hurtful, but who wants to be told they’re huge? If it can’t pass as a compliment, please keep it to yourself. -- Pregnant Not Fat Dear Pregnant: People somehow can’t help themselves. They speak before their brains are totally in gear and blurt out of-fensive comments without meaning to. We hope your letter will encourage folks to think twice, but in the meantime, try to show forbearance. It’s good practice for when you are raising children. Dear Annie: I would like to weigh in on “More Than a Little Grossed Out,” whose cousin’s 14-year-old son still sleeps with Grandma. The boy may believe this is ap-propriate because he has been conditioned to think this way by his mother and grand-mother. It may have started when he was a hard-to-settle infant and was then perpetu-ated to satisfy their needs. Whether or not there is abuse, it is inap-propriate and keeps this boy infantilized. I hope the family can see the potential for harm in what they are doing. -- Appalled in Ithaca, N.Y.

Bertha Price 1934 – 2015

Bertha Price beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother left this world to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus on Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Although our hearts are sad and we will miss her terribly, we can take comfort that she is safe in the arms of her Lord, free of pain and suffering and able to rejoice.

Bertha was a woman of great compassion and strength. Everyone who met and knew her were drawn to her bright presence and sense of humour. She could make you laugh when you least expected it. Bertha always tried to make the best of difficult circumstances, she was admired by all her family and friends and even those she met briefly.

Bertha was born on March 20, 1934 in Unity, Saskatchewan to Joseph and Theresa Stolb. She moved to Kelowna, BC with her family at the age of 2 and remained there until the age of 18. At 18 she moved to Cranbrook where she met her husband John “Jack” Price. Bertha and Jack were married on December 27, 1954 and raised seven children. Bertha worked in the lab at the Cranbrook Hospital for 35 years. She retired in 1993 with many fond memories of her co-workers and patients.

Bertha is survived by her children Debra Price, Martin (Debra) Price, Laura (Monte) Bissett, Diana Graalman, Glenda (Paul) James, Sonya Parsons and Trevor (Janice) Price; seventeen grandchildren; ten great grandchildren; her sister Maggie Price, sister Margaret Bell and many nieces and nephews and friends who love and admired her. Bertha was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Theresa Stolb; husband John “Jack” Price; her sister Jean Campbell and her brother Luke Stolb.

There will be a graveside memorial service for Bertha on Monday, March 2, 2015 at 11:00 am in Westlawn Cemetery.

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

Black pressA sharp drop in oil prices and

continued low natural gas prices have led to reduced forecasts of drilling activity in Western Cana-da for 2015. In Victoria, critics of the B.C. government’s push for liquefied natural gas exports have begun to claim that delayed in-vestment decisions by LNG pro-ducers are the beginning of the end for the industry in B.C.

David Keane, president of the BC LNG Alliance, has worked for major industry players and now represents an association of seven international proponents, Kitimat LNG, LNG Canada, Pacific North-west LNG, Prince Rupert LNG, Triton LNG, Woodfibre LNG and ExxonMobil.

This week he discussed B.C.’s prospects with Black Press legisla-ture reporter Tom Fletcher.

TF: What’s the impact of the recent low oil prices on these kinds of investments?

DK: I remind people that these companies are not going to be making long-term economic de-cisions based on the spot price of crude oil, regardless of whether it is $120 a barrel or $45 a barrel. They’re going to make their long-term economic decisions based on their long-term forecasts.

I still think that B.C., in spite of the fact that the price of oil has come down, is in a very good po-sition to be able to capture some of the increasing demand for LNG that’s going to be taking place over the next decade. There are a number of reasons for that.

We have a tremendous natural gas supply base, we have a highly educated workforce, we have a very supportive provincial and federal government in terms of producing the natural gas, devel-oping LNG facilities and export-ing it to the big Asian markets.

Another point I think is worth noting is that we’re in competi-tion with the U.S. Gulf Coast, Aus-tralia, East Africa, Middle East and Russia, and when you look the North Coast of B.C., we get about a 25 per cent increase in production capacity simply be-cause of the colder ambient tem-perature. So the same amount of investment that you might make in Australia or East Africa or the U.S. Gulf Coast, in British Colum-bia you get a 25 per cent uplift in production.

Last but not least is the prox-imity to Asian markets. When you look at how close we are to those markets, I firmly believe that we’re going to capture a good bit

of the increasing demand that will occur in Asia.

TF: Premier Christy Clark re-fers the U.S. being our big compe-tition now. Shell recently made a decision to cancel an Australian project and indicated they were concentrating on B.C. and a U.S. site. Is the U.S. the main competi-tion?

DK: I think so right now. When you look at the U.S. Gulf Coast, their LNG tankers have to go through the Panama Canal, and there are still long distances to get to the Asian markets.

TF: One barometer of how things are going is gas drilling ac-tivity in Northeast B.C. Can you comment on that?

DK: If we get just one of these large LNG facilities to declare a final investment decision, that will require the largest single in-vestment ever in British Colum-bia. And I’ve been saying when I’m asked that we’ll get seven, because we have seven members, that will go to final investment decisions over the next few years, and I think that will increase drill-ing activity dramatically.

We have our internal market in Canada, and our external mar-ket is the United States, where the demand for Canadian natural gas is declining. So we have to find a way to get our natural gas to mar-ket, which is liquefaction and transporting it to market, primar-ily across the Pacific.

TF: Your alliance is beginning an advertising campaign. What’s the focus of that?

DK: The advertising campaign

is meant to help inform British Columbians about what natural gas is, how it’s safely produced and safely transported. It has been safely transported in B.C. for 60-plus years. It’s to help in-form people about the benefits that will accrue to the province and to them as a result of devel-opment of a robust LNG industry, and about all of the safety as-pects, from natural gas produc-tion, to pipelines to the liquefac-tion facilities themselves, to the marine transportation of LNG.

TF: Are pipeline rights of way being settled?

DK: Chevron just concluded its 16th agreement with the 16 First Nations that are along the Pacific Trails pipeline, which will serve Kitimat LNG. All of the pipelines are working hard with their First Nations partners and I think that if we as an LNG indus-try can demonstrate long-term sustainable, real economic value to the First Nations, and when we demonstrate that LNG can be produced in a safe and environ-mentally sound manner, I think First Nations will support the de-velopment of the industry.

TF: The new CEO of Petronas is coming over for another visit soon. Is that an indication that they’re getting close, or that this slump in oil prices isn’t as big a deal as some people make it out to be?

DK: I can’t talk specifically about that. But I’m encouraged by what I see with all of our mem-bers, in terms of the work that they’re doing to move their proj-ects forward.

B.C. ‘still on track for LNG exports’
