The warm weather continues but with not much precipitation over the weekend, the flood-ing in parts of the Re-gional District of East Kootenay appears to be easing.
Kimberley itself expe-rienced few problems.
“We have some resi-dents requesting sand-bags and reporting ponding on streets, and full crews are working overtime to mitigate flooding issues,” said
City CAO Scott Sommer-ville on Friday. “Some streets are being wind-rowed to the centre to keep storm drains open. We are asking that resi-dents not shovel snow on top of storm drains.”
Around the RDEK, there was some slough-ing near Fort Steele Farms and overflowing ditches on the highway as well, says RDEK Infor-mation Officer Loree Duczek. There are signs posted on the highway warning of water.

Members of Western Financial Group showed their support for anti-bullying initiatives by wearing pink for a day. This was con-tinued Friday night during the second intermission of the Kootenay Ice/Medicine Hat Tigers game with the “Stand Up to Bullying” puck drop at Western Financial Place. Numbered pink hockey pucks were handed out to the first 3,000 fans entering the arena. During second intermission, fans “stood up”against bullying and threw their puck onto the ice. The individual whose puck landed closest to the target during the toss won a private suite for 10 people plus a $250 food credit for a 2014 Kootenay ICE playoff game. As part of the festivities, Western gave away $1,500 in school bursaries. Local schools in attendance which showed the most school spirit towards stopping bullying had the chance to take home one of three $500 Western Financial Group bursaries.
Br adley WoodsThe snow is starting
to melt away and mem-bers are getting excited about the start of the new season. Already you can find the range busy with shooting (ri-fles and the “Bull”) on the weekends. We are all excited to see how we do competing against each other and if we can bring our scores up enough to raise a class! The schedule for the new season is as fol-lows:
• March 22: Small Bore. March 23, Hi Power.
• April 6: BRSA will host an introductory shoot to silhouette for non-members.
• April 12: Small Bore. April 13, Hi Power.
• May 17-20: B.R.S.A. To host the BC Provin-cial Championships. Matches to start at 9 am.
• June 21: Small Bore. June 22, Hi Power.
• July 26: Small Bore.• August 23: Small
Bore. August 24, Hi Power.
• Sept 6: Small Bore. Sept 7, Hi Power
• October 25: Small Bore
• November 15: Fun Shoot and Yearly Wind-up. Match to start at 12:00 pm.
All matches start at 10 am unless otherwise noted. Anyone can par-ticipate in a club match,
even non-members (we expect you’ll likely want to join because you will have had so much fun and will realize what a great group we are!) We do ask that participants arrive by 9 am to register which allows us to orga-nize the match and gives everyone a chance to warm-up and check settings on scopes. Starting promptly at 10 allows the day to prog-ress in a timely fashion. We shoot a match in the morning and again in the afternoon, with most shooters compet-ing in two classes of guns (so two matches in the morning and two in the afternoon). Lunch is usually available for a
few dollars. Match fees are $10 per gun for the whole day.
If you’re new to sil-houette and feel ner-vous about trying it, then our Intro Shoot on April 6 is perfect for you. Members will be on hand to coach and even let you try some of our rifles. The event will start at 10 am. We are very proud of our grow-ing contingent of junior shooters and many of our members relish in the opportunity to men-tor a new shooter (young or old!) Don’t be shy.
Another important date to mark on the cal-endar is Sunday May 4. That is the day of our
annual range clean-up. Members gather for a work bee as we paint and mow and repair and dig and rake! This has become a memora-ble day as we have a lot of fun making our range look great. Work starts at 9 am.
Membership fees for the BRSA are $90 for the year (April 1 to March 31). Additional depen-dant family members may join for $15 each, which covers insurance costs. In addition to in-surance (which includes liability protection for members if ever in-volved in a shooting ac-cident) and ongoing club expenses, dues cover your participation
in 4 club matches, scheduled throughout the season. Juniors compete for free. Mem-bership for those 65 years and up is $35.00 but does not include any match fees. Mem-berships can be pur-chased from Rob McK-eeman at 250-426-2794. Memberships can also be purchased at any club match.
A wealth of informa-tion about Metallic Sil-houette shooting can be found on the Internet. For information about the BRSA please contact Rob as noted above. New members are al-ways welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the range.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new
super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.
Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.
• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.
• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.
• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.
• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

More than 3,000 kindergar-
ten-grade three students learn
about the magic of winter ecology
For the Bulletin
Columbia Basin - Now in its 7th year, Wildsight’s Winter Won-der program continues to educate, amaze, and connect students across the Columbia Basin, as they learn about the joys, secrets, and won-ders of our winters.
Nearly 160 field trips are booked this year, up from 140 last winter. The program takes almost 3,100 students between Kindergarten and Grade 3 on a half-day field trip
to explore winter wild-life ecology, snow sci-ence, and weather - all concepts embedded in the current BC educa-tion curriculum for these grades.
“Requests for these popular programs al-ways seem to increase,” explains Monica Nissen, Wildsight’s Education in the Wild Program Man-ager. “This year, sadly, we had to turn away classes. Despite adding an additional 20 field trips this year, we have more demand than we can accommodate.”
“Across Canada, kids are spending less and less time outside. Win-ter Wonder gets kids outside, connecting them with the magic of winter ecology and their backyards. Our team of twelve professional out-door educators bring the curriculum to life for
students.”Winter Wonder edu-
cators show up in cos-tume, and ‘Frosty Flake’, ‘Jill Frost’ or other magi-cal characters lead the class through a range of hands-on activities, both in and out of the class.
“Textbook versus our own backyard - where do we learn best? Our own backyard, of course. That is what this program provides,” says teacher S. Faucher from Fernie’s Isabella Dicken Elementary School.
Wildsight gratefully acknowledges the fi-nancial support of the Columbia Basin Trust, Fortis BC, TD Friends of the Environment Foun-dation, the North Face Explore Fund and the BC Gaming Commis-sion.

Teachers say endorsing strike is bargaining tool; school closures
not imminent
CArolYn [email protected]
Teachers across B.C. voted 89 per cent in fa-vour of a strike last week.
Both the union (BCTF) and the employer (BCPSEA) acknowledge that a strike vote is a tool in the bargaining process and will not necessarily result in teachers walking off the job.
“In collective bargain-ing, both employers and unions have tools avail-able to increase pressure at the bargaining table and I respect the process,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender.
“A strike vote does cre-ate additional uncertain-ty for students, parents, support workers and teachers. That’s precisely why we need long term stability in our schools and why we need to pur-sue a long-term agree-ment at the bargaining table.”
Last week, Kimberley
Teachers Association spokesperson Sally Struthers told the Bulletin that the vote did not mean a strike.
“We want to reassure parents that we consider job actions and timing very carefully,” Struthers said. “We want to negoti-ate a deal at the table, that’s our goal. We will work very hard to get a negotiated settlement.”
“There will be no job action tomorrow, there will be no job action next week,” BCTF President Jim Iker said. “Teachers now have 90 days to acti-vate the strike vote with some sort of action. There is no set timing for when we will begin. It will de-pend entirely on what is happening at the negoti-ating table and whether or not the government and employers’ associa-tion are prepared to be fair and reasonable.
We will work very hard to get that negotiat-ed settlement without any job action. A strike vote is a normal process in labour relations and helps apply pressure to both parties during nego-tiations.”
However, the two sides remain quite far apart in terms of class
size, composition and
staffing levels. While BCPSEA sand the Minis-ter of Education say they has offered a 6.5 per cent wage increase over six years, BCTF points out that the offer is not retro-active even though the contract ran out last June, it starts with a 0.5 per cent increase the first year, nothing for the next year and then various 1 and 1.5 per cent increases, keeping the BCTF well behind most other prov-inces

Intervention’ is a true life and
death saga for humanity’s sur-
vivalIn recent times, one
of the main questions asked by people nowa-days is there truly life out there in the universe. In-deed the question has been asked in many so-cial circles throughout
the globe. Be it in Sci-ence Fiction conven-tions to class rooms. In “Intervention” author Lloyd Freestone explores the possibilities and dangers of interplane-tary life.
“Intervention” is set in the near future and earth is in danger of being destroyed. The human race fearing utter annihilation accepts aid from a powerful race of aliens. Humanity is
saved by the aliens, but only at the price of being made the aliens foot sol-diers for their intergalac-tic wars. An uneasy peace settles in, but soon suspicion and paranoia takes hold of both fac-tions. On earth, Gerry Stanhouse a man ab-ducted by the aliens years ago is the main contact for the aliens and is tasked to keep ne-gotiations between the two races. The fragile
peace is soon in danger of being shattered when Gerry finds out the hid-den motives of the aliens. In truth, Gerry does not really care too much for both sides, ex-cept for the fact that he is in love with Shareena, the alien ambassador to earth and any conflict would surely tear a rift between them.
An immersive and creative book filled with believable characters, intrigue, and action. “In-tervention “captures the true essence of good Sci-fi.
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to www.Xlibris.com.
The book will be available at Available at Coles Bookstore and Lotus Books in Cran-brook, and available on-line at xlibris.com, ama-zon.com, barnesandno-ble.com
Lloyd Freestone lives in Kimberley,Canada with his wife of thirty six years, Connie. At the present time, he works in a sawmill, but is looking forward to retirement so he can spend more time with his grandson. He started writing as a hobby but that hobby soon turned into an ob-session that came to fru-ition by being published.

The situation in Wasa remains of some concern.
“We still have signifi-cant pooling of water in and around the Wasa area that has not im-proved in the past two days. The main chal-lenge for us is that with the area being so flat, there is nowhere for the
excess water to go so we are not seeing things dry up as quickly as they are in other parts of the re-gion,” Duczek said Sat-urday. “There has been some water flowing across a section of Wasa Lake Park Drive as snow melts from the up-hill side of the roadway. With the help of a resi-dent, our Emergency Program personnel
have diverted some of that runoff into a culvert that opened today. This has reduced the amount of water on the road, which remains open.”
The RDEK also warns that with high tempera-tures continuing and rain in the forecast, ice conditions on lakes and creeks will be unpre-dictable.

“Everything has a moral if you can only find it.”
Lewis Carroll
“Genius may have its limitations but stupidity is thus not handicapped.”
Elbert Hubbard
It is amazing how resourceful we hu-mans can be when faced with the daily problems that beset us. That is why we’re still around polluting the planet, unlike a few million other spe-
cies that failed.Of course, some of us get
into situations that are in-clined to multiply the daily problems already lurking around the next corner in life.
Take, for example, that fast-flowing, icy creek that had grown steadily in size and volume as the day had warmed and the snow melted. This particular problem evolved when six of us, that other mad March day, skied into the shores of frozen Cooper Lake near the head of the Moyie River.
All in all, it had been a fun ski trip, de-spite lousy weather, and we’d made it suc-cessfully to the lake shore and started a fire to keep us warm for lunch time.
Then disaster — in the form of Tony’s dog Jessie — struck. She had apparently declared war on the key-log of the fire, a
large branch of fir tree, and so attacked fe-rociously and managed to pull the offen-sive branch free. The fire promptly col-lapsed and died; we humans, feeling damp and dispirited, reluctantly packed up, put on our skis and set off homeward.
But then, the innocent stream that we’d crossed earlier in the day had grown into a wide torrent, fed by melting snow, and I, being a natural dawdler, stood back and watched the performances of my compan-ions as they attempted to cross without getting thoroughly wet.
Firstly, Jake, always prag-matic as well as long-legged and tall, threw his skis across the torrent then, with a loping stride, ran at and over the water. Hip-pety-hop. His wife, Jill, ap-plauded with soggi-ly-gloved hands and also attempted to toss her skis
over the creek but one didn’t make it and slid back towards the stream. Jake, the faithful husband, rescued it and soaked himself to one knee in the attempt.
Jill and the other two women checked the creek by running up and down the bank looking for weaknesses but, appar-ently, found none.
Tony, resolute, prepared to jump with his skis in his arms but Jessie got in the way by attempting to worry his heels as he ran. He made a complete ass of himself and cursed the dog soundly. His wife, Moira,
tut-tutted him.Tony, however, is one of these people
who crash joyously through life with gusto most often associated with natural disas-ters. I couldn’t believe my eyes when he prepared to cross a second time by jump-ing the creek with his skis on. Moira held on to the dog.
Tony made a noble effort by climbing a nearby rise and launched himself from the crest. He made good speed to the creek bank, crouched with poles ready, then leaped. He made it; well, half of him did; he landed astride the torrent.
Meanwhile I followed Joan when she spotted some rocks just below the surface and tip-toed timorously hippety-hop to the far side, and thus we were able to rush to the rescue of Tony and drag him all the way over. But cruel fate had other plans; his skis started to travel downstream and further apart.
My beloved spouse, on some sort of impulse, flung her skis individually like javelins across the creek, then, without warning, raced forward and leaped. She cleared the torrent scattering the others like nine-pins and terrified the dog.
Meanwhile, as Tony’s backside grew closer and closer to the water and I was collapsing in hysterical laughter, Joan rushed forward with Jake to the rescue. They both grabbed Tony and pulled him over to where all three collapsed in a soggy heap. Jessie, the dog came and sat on them.
Damply, the party limped homeward.

Letters to the editoranimal alliance
I am responding to the “Damaged Traps” letter to the editor by Bill Roberts. First, I would like to clarify that Animal Alli-ance and the BC Deer Protection Society work closely together regarding the deer cull and we will continue to do so in the fu-ture. We are committed to assisting munic-ipalities to develop management strategies that allow for the peaceful coexistance with deer and other wildlife.
Mr. Roberts states that he could not find a single person that would give two cents for the opinion of a person in Toronto. Aside from being a silly comment, the fact is that communities in B.C., including Cranbrook, Kimberley and Invermere, turned to Hele-na, Montana, to find ways to kill urban deer. Why is it okay to consult an American source outside of the community for killing purposes but not for alternative approaches based on information garnered interna-tionally? If you just want to hate Toronto, fine. But we are a national organization and it would be more productive to judge mat-ters on merit, and not on some sort of silly grudge.
Second, I did not say that we are telling people not to vacation in Cranbrook, Kim-berley or Invermere, just that we were going to let those people know how the deer were being treated. If communities have to hide their activities from the public, afraid of re-percussions, they should reconsider their approach. In fact, it should be noted that Kimberley Council has voted not to spend any more money in culling but to invest in an education programme. Kimberley should be roundly praised for these initia-
tives.In my discussions with staff, I offered our
assistance, if that was required. I offered to approach the province requesting the nec-essary changes to the Wildlife Act to give communities alternative management tools.
Finally, with regard our Mayor in Toron-to — he clearly has serious problems which he needs to address. However, under his watch, Council has brought forward many progressive animal protection initiatives in-cluding the movement of three elephants from the Toronto Zoo to a sanctuary in Cal-ifornia and a non-lethal approach to human/coyote conflicts. Yes — surprise, surprise — we have wildlife issues just like you.
Maybe you would like to come to Toron-to and advocate your approach. I can say this — you would be treated with dignity and respect by our Council, just as I was by your Council. You should do the same.

ruby sinclairOn behalf of my brothers and myself, I’d
like to thank the citizens of Cranbrook for naming our mother, Ruby Sinclair, one of “Cranbrook’s Most Beloved Citizens” again this year.
While Ruby was in palliative care in the Cranbrook hospital very near the end of her life, a visitor commented that she would soon be “...in a better place.” Our mother opened one eye and, with great effort, in-formed the man that she was already in the
BEST place and had been ever since she had moved to Cranbrook in 1961.
The love affair is definitely mutual!
Lorie SinclairJaffray, B.C.
Fatal blow Stephen Harper is quoted as saying in
1997 “It’s past time the Feds scrapped the Canadian Health Act”.
On December 19, 2011, Finance Minis-ter Jim Flaherty announced that the Canada Health & Transfer Accord would not be re-newed on expiry, March 31, 2014. No dis-cussion! No Parliamentary debate! No con-sultation with the Provinces!
The “Accord” would be replaced by the Canada Health & Transfer( CHT), a Federal commitment to continue funding but on a diminishing scale, resulting in a funding loss estimated at $52.5 billion by 2024 at which time the Accord would be “reviewed”.
This unilateral decision by Ottawa strikes a huge, and probably fatal, blow to our Ca-nadian Medicare system. Without Federal financial and supervisory input, the indi-vidual Provincial plans could well disinte-grate leaving Canadians at the mercy of for-profit corporate providers.
A recent opinion poll found that 94 per cent of Canadians favoured a comprehen-sive national health-care plan; they must be very worried by these developments!
Where is the outcry from Opposition benches?

An Indian election is a marathon, not a sprint. The voting will start in a month’s time, on 7 April, but the vot-
ing will move around the country on nine phases, ending on 12 May. Then the votes will all be counted — there are 814 million eligible voters — and the result will be known on 16 May. But a lot of peo-ple think they know the re-sult now: Narendra Modi of the BJP will be prime minis-ter, and India will swing hard right.
The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party — Indi-an People’s Party) is a socially conserva-tive, Hindu nationalist party that has only had one full term in national office, in 1998-2004. That time, it led a broad coali-tion that restrained its more extreme sec-tarian impulses. This time, however, many Indian observers claim to detect a “Modi wave” of support that might carry the BJP into power on its own. That would certain-ly make for interesting times.
Narendra Modi is best known for two things: the remarkable economic growth and relative freedom from corruption of his home state of Gujarat, and his alleged complicity in the massacre of more than 1,000 Muslims during religious riots short-ly after he became chief minister of Guja-rat in 2001.
The prosperity of Gujarat is obviously a political asset for him. The problem is that the his alleged religious extremism is also an asset in the view of some of his poten-tial supporters. Indeed, that is probably
why Modi has never expressed any regret or offered any apologies for the riots, an omission that many see as disqualifying him for high political office.
But the ruling Congress Party is weighed down by corruption scandals and slowing economic growth, and Congress’s candidate for prime minister is none other than Rahul Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great-grandfather have
all held the job in the past. But Rahul’s political ideas seem half-formed, his rhet-oric struggles under the burden of words like “empowerment”, and he is seriously lacking in novelty value.
Hence the “Modi wave.” The BJP cur-rently leads Congress by a wide margin in the opinion polls: a January poll gave it 34 percent of the vote, almost twice as much as it got in the last national election in 2009. Voters prefer Modi to Gandhi as prime minister in virtually every state — and among 18 to 25-year-old voters the BJP outpolls Congress almost two-to-one.So the pundits are speculating on how a BJP government would behave if it were led by Narendra Modi and had no need of coalition partners. There is no precedent for that. Last time the BJP government was a complicated coalition led by Prime Min-ister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a poet and intel-lectual of moderate views, and none of its more extreme nationalist and Hindu posi-tions got translated into actual policies.
If it were different this time, then India
would be moving into unknown waters, and the possibilities would be as alarming as they were extreme. But that may just be Indian journalists trying to inject a little more tension and excitement into the story. The reality is probably rather less exciting.
34 percent of the vote is much better than the BJP got last time, but it doesn’t get you a majority in the parliament. In fact, it leaves you about fifty seats short of a majority, which tumbles you back into the real world of coalitions and deals, and having to put aside your cherished sectar-ian goals in order to make the deals work. Just like last time, even if your name is Narendra Modi.
There are 39 parties in the current par-liament, and there may be even more in the next one. Most of them would be will-ing to join a coalition government in re-turn for concessions on whatever local or regional issues they or their voters care about, but they will also have red lines that must not be crossed or they will leave the coalition.
Assuming that the outcome of the elec-tion does leave the BJP as the biggest party, but without an overall majority, those red lines will probably confine Nar-endra Modi to relatively moderate policies on religious issues. If not, then India is in for a wild ride, and at the end of it the country may no longer be known for its tolerance.

getting hooked for Nick Schneider, who played out most of the final pe-riod.
Less than 90 seconds into the game, the Tigers took a penalty and Fran-ko drew blood for a early lead. Descheneau dou-bled it three minutes later, scooping up a re-bound from the point and firing it home. That pushed the 19-year-old sniper to 40 goals—the first time a Kootenay Ice player has cracked that number since Steve Da Silva in 2007/08.
Naturally, Deschene-au brushed off his ac-complishment when in-formed.
“I never knew that, actually,” said Desche-neau. “I guess it feels nice and it’s a credit to my linemates for getting me the puck.”
Vannelli put Medi-cine Hat up by the end of the period, putting a point shot blast past Skapski.
In the second period, Dirk beat Langhamer through the five-hole after a pretty passing play, while Descheneau potted his second of the game after getting him-self alone in front of Langhamer and deking a backhander into the net.
The Ice kept pouring it on in the third period with an early goal from Tyler King, but Valk managed to answer back for the Tabbies with a powerplay effort just over six minutes into the frame.
The win over the Ti-
gers was especially sweet, as Medicine Hat is shaping up to be a potential first-round playoff opponent. The players also fed off the energy of Anti-Bullying Night, which helped swell the attendance to over 2,900 fans.
“It was great,” said Franko. “By far the big-
gest crowd since I’ve been here and it was awesome. It was elec-tric, it was loud and all those little kids out there were making noise and it makes it easier to play, for sure.”
Kootenay also got some reinforcements back in the lineup with the return of Kyle
O’Connor and Jon Mar-tin on Friday.
However, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Kootenay Ice are headed to the WHL playoffs for the 16th straight season.
The franchise clinched their post-sea-son berth on Friday with a 5-2 win over the Medi-cine hat Tigers, and also defeated the Regina Pats 3-1 the following night.
Friday evening was also Anti-Bullying Night, as students came out in style wearing pink and showing off their school spirit. Gordon Terrace, T.M. Roberts and St. Marys were the recipients of a $500 prize for their school spirit efforts.
Jaedon Descheneau led the way with a pair of goals and an assist, while Zach Franko, Jag-ger Dirk and Tyler King also provided some scoring for the Ice. Tommy Vannelli and Curtis Valk replied for Medicine Hat.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor
The Dynamiters and the Thunder Cats traded wins over the weekend to keep the series even at a game apiece heading back into Kimberley.
Creston won the opener on Friday by a score of 4-1, but the Ni-tros were able to respond with a 4-2 win the follow-ing night.
The Dynamiters will host the Thunder Cats at the Civic Centre in Kim-berley on Monday and Tuesday evening for Game Three and Game Four.
The Nitros got into a ton of penalty trouble on Friday night, giving up 10 powerplays to Creston as the Thunder Cats skated to a 4-1 win.
Matti Jmaeff and Car-son Cartwright scored first period goals for the Thunder Cats, while Brandon Formosa and Seth Schmidt made it a four goal lead on a pair of powerplay goals in the second frame.
Eric Buckley an-swered back for Kimber-ley in the final period on a powerplay goal, but that would stand as the only goal from the Nitros side.
Dynamiters goalten-der Jeremy Mousseau stood between the pipes, making 36 saves in defeat while Brock Lefebvre notched the win with 16 saves.
Despite getting out-shot again on Saturday, the Dynamiters re-bounded with a 4-2 win after scoring a trio of goals in the middle peri-od.
Creston opened the scoring on a powerplay goal from Formosa for a 1-0 lead after the first frame.
However, it was all Ni-tros in the second period, with Jason Richter and Bryce Nielsen scoring powerplay goals, while Bryce Perpelitz added an even strength marker for a 3-1 lead after 40 min-utes.
Jmaeff tallied halfway through the final frame with an even strength ef-fort to make it a one-goal game, but Nielsen found the empty net with a minute remaining in the game to seal it up for a Dynamiter win.
Tyson Brouwer stood in the Nitro crease, turn-ing away 27 shots, while Creston netminder Kyle Michalovsky turned away 25 pucks.

Schacher fitting in with new WHL teamTRE VOR CR AWLEY
Sports Editor
It was a homecoming for local WHL defenceman Isaac Schacher when the Pats faced off against the Kootenay Ice on Saturday night.
Even though Regina ended up losing 3-1, Schacher, a Kimberley native, was excited to play in front of family and friends with his new team.
“It’s always nice to be back at home, see some family and friends,” said Schacher. “It’s al-ways nice being in the home rink, see familiar faces, but too bad we couldn’t get the two points to-night.”
Schacher, who played former-
ly with the Kimberley Dynamit-ers, was called up to the WHL with the Victoria Royals after his second season in the KIJHL. He spent most of the current WHL campaign in Victoria before get-ting traded to Regina for a pair of draft picks in January.
“It’s been great,” said Schacher. “Victoria was great to me, but getting traded to a new team, they’ve really accepted me and brought me in as one of their own and in their family.”
Between the two teams, Schacher has suited up for 49 WHL games this season, scoring once and collecting eight assists with a plus-18 rating.
“Tonight, I got a little more ice
time because we’ve had some key guys out,” Schacher said, “but just trying to play solid defensively and move the puck well and join in offensively when I can.”
In the last five years, the Pats have only made it to the post-sea-son once, but they clinched a playoff spot last weekend and are trying to lock down second place in the Eastern Conference.
“We’re just really doing the right things right now,” continued Schacher. “We’re doing all the lit-tle things—even tonight, we played a solid game, it was a good effort—just a little a bounce here and there really hurt us, but over-all, we’ve been doing the right things the past little while.”

Peel left in the first period after getting boarded, while Cross had to leave after getting knocked to the ice during a fight in the sec-ond frame.
Despite that adversi-ty, the Ice were able to earn the win, with goals coming from Luke Philp, Dirk and Descheneau.
Calgary Flames draft pick Morgan Klimchuk answered back for the Pats.
“Obviously, it was a chippy game, especially in that second period,” said Dirk, “but we just came together, stuck to the game plan that the coaches laid out for us and that’s what led to us winning tonight.”
Dirk scored first on a powerplay resulting from the boarding pen-alty by Rylee Zimmer, who drilled Peel into the Kootenay zone end boards.
The two teams held each other scoreless in the second period, but Cross had to head to the dressing room after get-ting knocked to the ice
and leaking blood fol-lowing a fight with Pats enforcer Jesse Zgraggen.
Moving Jordan Steenbergen down from the fourth line, the Ice had to play with four de-fencemen and 11 for-wards for the rest of the game.
Philp doubled the Kootenay lead just over the halfway mark of the final frame on another powerplay goal, while Klimchuk made it inter-esting by putting Regina on the board with just over three minutes to go.
Kootenay took a late penalty and the Pats pulled goaltender Daw-son MacAuley for six at-tackers against four Ice defenders, but it was Descheneau who found the back of the empty net after clearing the zone with a lofty back-hander.
Skapski again picked up the win with 27 saves, while MacAuley, who was the sole reason the score wasn’t more lop-sided in favour of the Ice, turned away 28 shots.

Canada’s Josh Dueck celebrates after racing in the Men’s Downhill - Sitting Skiing at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games on March 8, 2014 in Sochi, Russia
tre vor Cr awleySports Editor
Kimberley native Josh Dueck won a silver medal in downhill sit-skiing, finishing only 0.39 seconds behind the gold medallist at the Paralympics in Sochi on Saturday.
It is the second silver medal for Dueck, who also skied to the same result in slalom at the Vancouver Games in 2010.
“This is fantastic,” Dueck said, who posted a time of 1:24:19. “I’m really about perfor-mance and I took a fast line down the hill and
took some chances and I got pretty lucky… I crossed the line and was thrilled. Second is awe-some.”
Dueck’s silver medal on Saturday was espe-cially significant, being that it marked the 10-year anniversary to the day since a freestyle ski-ing accident landed him in a wheelchair.
Though there was a long wait at the start from course delays, the extra time at the top of the run allowed Dueck to mentally prepare for the race by harnessing the energy and thinking about his family back
home in Canada.“It was more about
letting all that go and just skiing,” said Dueck, who raced with a photo-graph of his daughter placed over his heart.
Initially, Dueck looked like he was head-ed for gold after topping the leaderboard. Racer after racer tried to beat his time, and eventually, Akira Kano of Japan managed to edge into first place with a run of 1:23:80.
While Dueck’s racing ability speaks for itself, he also gave a nod to his equipment, noting that sit-ski technology has
continued to develop since the Vancouver Games.
“The equipment has been huge,” Dueck said. “We’ve invested a lot of energy in keeping this equipment competitive with the rest of the world and maybe even a little better.
“I had the ability to trust in that, point it down the hill, and have a good time.”
On Sunday, Dueck competed in the su-per-G portion of the pa-ra-alpine skiing events, and was poised for a gold medal until a light-ning-fast run was de-
railed at the final gate when he caught an edge and crashed.
Despite the result, Dueck was still upbeat about his performance.
“It was actually fan-tastic,” said Dueck. “I was one turn away from having a great run. You’ve got to be happy with that. Right now, I’m happy for our team.”
He will be competing in super combined on Tuesday.
“Obviously, I left something behind on the hill today, and I’d like to find it,” Dueck added. “Heck yes, I’m ready.”

Daily Townsman
Friday, March 7th, 2014On the third day of our trip, we had to get up
at 6 a.m. in the morning to play our second game against Penticton at 8:30 a.m.
During this game we did a better job of exe-cuting our plays and stopping the other team on defence. It was a successful game for us because we accomplished many of the goals we have been aiming for all season.
The score was closer compared to our first game, but we have yet to come out on top.
After the game, we went to a laser-tag arena. This activity was one of the most fun-filled ex-periences I’ve ever had. The arena had differ-ent levels to climb up and down, bridges made of netting to navigate across, and bright neon lights to confuse us.
We played three rounds, fifteen minutes
each, and it was exhilarating. Refuelled by dinner, our next activity was go-karting at a place called Fast Track. They had only been open for three weeks.
We underwent a safety briefing through a video explaining all the rules of the track. Once we were allowed to race, we had a blast. Both our team and the parents were smiling ear to ear.
For some girls, this was their first driving experience. The karts were so fast because they were low to the ground and many of us learned how to drift around the tight corners. Overall, we had an incredible day packed with experiences that created everlasting memo-ries.
Saturday, March 8th, 2014We played our third game against Argyle on
the fourth day of our provincials. It was anoth-er early morning game, but this time we played
in a different gym. The gym was in a separate building called
the Fieldhouse and a basketball court was laid down on a rink. This game was the best game we had played so far. Unfortunately, our efforts became effective too late in the game. We lost, but now we know exactly what we have to do going into our last game.
After the game, we were in for an adventure. Every year Coach Nutini has set up an “Amaz-ing Race” for us. The race takes us all around the city by using clues that require us to find various locations. We travel by foot, sky-train, and even sea bus. Usually we have to to ques-tion locals for information in order to solve the clues and get ahead of the other teams.
This a great way to grow outside of our com-fort zones. Sometimes we have to eat gross foods, videotape a team member doing some-thing silly in a public place, or ask strangers to take pictures of us by monuments.
The teams this year were: 1) Heidi, Brette, and Ine. 2) Claire, Reili, Megan Tadey, and Megan Sternig. 3) Shaylee, Marlize, and Hunt-er. Hannah helped organize the race this year because she was injured.
Some of the challenges we had to do in-cluded taking a picture by the Gassy Jack stat-ue, getting into the Langara College gym, and eating black fungus, squid tentacles, and tofu.
Heidi, Brette and Ine won this years race but I know everyone had fun in the competi-tion. Coach Nutini’s “Amazing Race” has al-ways been one of my favourite parts of provin-cials and it will be a memorable experience for our entire team in the years to come.

Koe pounces on B.C. misses to coast to 10-5 Brier win
C anadian PreSSKAMLOOPS, B.C. -
Calgary’s Kevin Koe did it the hard way again.
After struggling a lit-tle to make the final game, Koe emerged with his second Canadian men’s curling champi-onship, after a dominat-ing 10-5 win over John Morris and British Co-lumbia.
“That’s the way we kind of do it sometimes,” Koe said. “We can’t seem to get firing on all cylinders all the time.”
Alberta capitalized on B.C.’s mistakes to score three big three-enders. If not for the needs of television, the handshakes would likely have come in eight but they played nine ends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a flair for creating tension, as people find you to be unpredictable. However, a role reversal seems to be at play: A partner or loved one could decide that impulsiveness is a great way to go. Strap on your seat belt! Tonight: Do some yoga or take a walk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) How you handle the key peo-ple in your daily environment reflects who you are. You intu-itively know what others want or need. Even still, your best bet is to allow others to ask for your help before rushing in to fulfill an anticipated need. Tonight: Hang out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are able to juggle your fi-nances with the best of them. You are likely to discover how difficult a situation can be, es-pecially if it revolves around a friend or loved one. A meeting also could be provocative, but on a different level. Tonight: Pay bills first.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) While others play out their Monday-itis, you seem to be full of unusual and effective ideas. Test them out on several people before launching into action. Your sense of well-being will emerge when dealing with a loved one at a distance. Tonight: Only as you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not want to share too many of your thoughts right now; instead, listen carefully to a partner or friend. This person will have a lot of great ideas to share, and you could get feed-back that might surprise you. Unexpected news heads your way. Tonight: Not wanting to socialize. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You seem to know what to do in order to achieve specific results. Listen to a loved one when dis-cussing an unpredictable associ-ate or partner. This person sees the issue differently from how you do. You will like what’s about to happen. Tonight: Make plans with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Others expect you to come to the rescue for them when they aren’t able to help themselves. You could be a little ticked off by this attitude. Your plate is full, and you have a lot of ground to cover. Refuse to take on any extra work for now. Tonight: Do something just for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are bound to make a differ-ence by expressing a more com-plete perspective of a problem. Know that you don’t need to be so vested in the outcome. Others will be impressed by your drive and determination. Tonight: Let your mind drift -- you need some R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone gladly would take up all of your time and attention, if you would allow it. Only you can decide if this is OK. State your boundaries clearly. If a loved one is involved, do not be surprised if you receive a volatile response. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invita-tion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others can’t seem to get enough of you. However, you have a
strong need to go a certain way, and you don’t want anyone holding you back. You could have some difficulty explaining this desire to a needy friend or loved one. Tonight: Carve out the correct situation for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You seem more than capable of staying away from problems to-day, as long as you don’t take an unusual financial risk. Incoming news could shock you, or you could surprise someone else. To-night: In the whirlwind of living. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be taken aback by a sudden and unexpected finan-cial change. Tap into your cre-ativity in order to find the right solution. As a result, you’ll find the right person with whom to connect regarding a project in the near future. Tonight: Act like there is no tomorrow! BORN TODAY Actress Sharon Stone (1958), gymnast Shannon Miller (1977), former U.S. congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (1903) ***
Dear Annie: I switched doctors six years ago -- and my world fell apart. My new doc-tor insisted on all kinds of new tests, and I’m glad she did. Simple blood and urine tests let me know that there was a good possibility my kidneys weren’t functioning well. I didn’t know that there are rarely any symptoms until the kidneys are failing. I didn’t know that one in three American adults is at risk for kidney disease. I didn’t know that high blood pressure and diabetes are two of the leading causes of this disease. But I learned quickly that early detection and proper treatment can slow its progress. I learned so much in the following months: why I need to watch my weight, why regular exercise helps and why I need to make sure my high blood pressure is under control. I’ve been able to maintain the same degree of kidney function since being diagnosed, but not without lots of information and changes in my lifestyle. March is National Kidney Month. March 13th is World Kidney Day. Won’t you help me join the National Kidney Foundation in urging Americans to learn about the risk factors and simple blood and urine tests for kidney disease? There are many free kidney health screenings around the country. The National Kidney Foundation at kidney.org provides information about these screen-ings and about staying healthy. Thank you. -- Gail Rae-Garwood, Glendale, Ariz. Dear Gail Rae-Garwood: Thank you so much for sharing your story. We hope our readers will take your advice and check for screenings in their area or discuss their kid-ney health with their personal physicians. We are sure your letter will help many. Bless you. Dear Annie: We are in our late 60s. We have four children, and between them, there are 10 grandchildren, ages 2-15. They all live far away, so we don’t get to see them often. For Christmas and birthdays, we spend quite a bit of time and money buying, or-dering, wrapping and mailing presents. We never receive a thank-you note, even when we include a self-addressed envelope. We know you’ve addressed this issue many times. We don’t want to stop sending pres-ents altogether. Should we send a check and stop spending so much energy on gifts? Should we discuss it with the parents, even though we suspect that would create prob-lems? -- Frustrated Grandparents Dear Frustrated: It’s perfectly OK to call the parents (and any grandchild) to ask whether your gift was received, saying you worried it was lost en route. Young children need to be taught to thank those who are kind enough to remember them with gifts, and you can try to instill this, even though it is really the parents’ job. And if it would make you feel less put out to send a check, we doubt they would mind. But also suggest to the grand-children that they acknowledge gifts via email or text. It may not be as proper as a handwritten note, but it is certainly better than nothing, and you are more likely to get a response. Dear Annie: I think “Grandpa in South Dakota” could teach his voracious reader of a grandson cursive writing himself. I have heard of schools that have Cursive Clubs be-cause it is no longer taught. It would be a fun project to do with a grandchild. -- I Would Dear Would: An excellent idea. Schools have only so many hours in a day and cannot cover everything. We are sorry to see cursive go, but we understand why and think it’s a great idea to learn these skills outside of school.

AssociAted PressNEW YORK — The most
dangerous parts of a flight are takeoff and landing. Rarely do incidents happen when a plane is cruising seven miles above the earth.
So the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jet well into its flight Saturday morning over the South China Sea has led aviation experts to assume that whatever happened was quick and left the pilots no time to place a distress call.
It could take investigators months, if not years, to deter-mine what happened to the Boeing 777 flying from Malay-sia’s largest city of Kuala Lum-pur to Beijing.
“At this early stage, we’re fo-cusing on the facts that we don’t know,’’ said Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer with Boeing who worked on its 777 wide-body jets and is now di-rector of the Airsafe.com Foun-dation.
Military radar indicates that the missing Boeing 777 jet may have turned back before van-ishing, Malaysia’s air force chief said Sunday as authorities were investigating up to four passen-gers with suspicious identifica-tions. The revelations add to the mystery surrounding the final minutes of the flight. Air force chief Rodzali Daud didn’t say which direction the plane veered when it apparently went off course, or how long it flew in that direction, Some of the in-formation it had was also cor-roborated by civilian radar, he said.
If the information about the U-turn is accurate, that lessens the probability that the plane suffered a catastrophic explo-sion but raises further ques-tions about why the pilots didn’t signal for help. If there was a minor mechanical failure — or even something more se-rious like the shutdown of both of the plane’s engines — the pilots likely would have had time to radio for help. The lack of a call “suggests something very sudden and very violent happened,’’ said William Wal-dock, who teaches accident in-vestigation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.
It’s possible that there was either an abrupt breakup of the plane or something that led it into a quick, steep dive. Some experts even suggested an act of terrorism or a pilot purpose-ly crashing the jet.
No matter how unlikely a scenario, it’s too early to rule out any possibilities, experts warn. The best clues will come with the recovery of the flight data and voice recorders and an examination of the wreck-age. U.S. investigators from the FBI, the National Transporta-
tion Safety Board and the Fed-eral Aviation Administration and experts from Boeing are heading to Asia to assist in the investigation.
Airplane crashes typically occur during takeoff and the climb away from an airport, or while coming in for a landing, as in last year’s fatal crash of an Asiana Airlines jet in San Fran-cisco. Just 9 per cent of fatal ac-cidents happen when a plane is at cruising altitude, according to a statistical summary of commercial jet airplane acci-dents done by Boeing.
Capt. John M. Cox, who spent 25 years flying for US Air-ways and is now CEO of Safety Operating Systems, said that whatever happened to the Ma-laysia Airlines jet, it occurred quickly. The problem had to be big enough, he said, to stop the plane’s transponder from broadcasting its location, al-though the transponder can be purposely shut off from the cockpit.
One of the first indicators of what happened will be the size of the debris field. If it is large and spread out over tens of miles, then the plane likely broke apart at a high elevation. That could signal a bomb or a massive airframe failure. If it is a smaller field, the plane prob-ably fell from 35,000 feet intact, breaking up upon contact with the water.
Some of the possible causes for the plane disappearing in-clude:
• CATASTROPHIC STRUC-TURAL FAILURE. Most aircraft are made of aluminum which is susceptible to corrosion over time, especially in areas of high humidity. But given the plane’s long history and impressive safety record, experts suggest that a failure of the airframe, or the plane’s Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines, is unlikely.
More of a threat to the plane’s integrity is the constant pressurization and depressur-ization of the cabin for takeoff and landing. In April 2011, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff from Phoe-nix after the plane’s fuselage ruptured, causing a 5-foot tear. The plane, with 118 people on board, landed safely. But such a rupture is less likely in this case. Airlines fly the 777 on longer distances, with many fewer takeoffs and landings, putting less stress on the airframe.
• BAD WEATHER. Planes are designed to fly through most severe storms. However, in June 2009, an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed during a bad storm over the Atlantic Ocean. Ice built up on the Airbus A330’s airspeed indicators, giv-ing false readings. That, and bad decisions by the pilots, led the plane into a stall causing it to plummet into the sea. All 228 passengers and crew aboard died. The pilots never radioed for help.
In the case of Saturday’s Ma-laysia Airlines flight, all indica-tions show that there were clear skies.
• PILOT DISORIENTATION. Curtis said that the pilots could have taken the plane off autopi-lot and somehow went off course and didn’t realize it until it was too late. The plane could have flown for another five or six hours from its point of last contact, putting it up to 3,000 miles away. This is unlikely given that the plane probably would have been picked up by radar somewhere. But it’s too early to eliminate it as a possi-bility.
• FAILURE OF BOTH EN-GINES. In January 2008, a Brit-ish Airways 777 crashed about 1,000 feet short of the runway at
London’s Heathrow Airport. As the plane was coming in to land, the engines lost thrust because of ice buildup in the fuel system. There were no fa-talities.
Loss of both engines is pos-sible in this case, but Hamilton said the plane could glide for up to 20 minutes, giving pilots plenty of time to make an emergency call. When a US Airways A320 lost both of its engines in January 2009 after taking off from LaGuardia Air-port in New York it was at a much lower elevation. But Capt. Chesley B. “Sully’’ Sullen-berger still had plenty of com-munications with air traffic controllers before ending the six-minute flight in the Hudson River.
• A BOMB. Several planes have been brought down in-cluding Pan Am Flight 103 be-tween London and New York in December 1988. There was also an Air India flight in June 1985 between Montreal and London and a plane in Sep-tember 1989 flown by French airline Union des Transports Aeriens which blew up over the Sahara.
• HIJACKING. A traditional hijacking seems unlikely given that a plane’s captors typically land at an airport and have some type of demand. But a 9-11-like hijacking is possible, with terrorists forcing the plane into the ocean.
• PILOT SUICIDE. There were two large jet crashes in the late 1990s — a SilkAir flight and an EgyptAir flight— that are be-lieved to have been caused by pilots deliberately crashing the planes. Government crash in-vestigators never formally de-clared the crashes suicides but both are widely acknowledged by crash experts to have been caused by deliberate pilot ac-tions.
d i r k M e i s s n e rCanadian Press
VICTORIA — Now that contract negotia-tions with British Co-lumbia teachers have reached the next phase with an 89 per strike mandate, the educa-tion minister says he’s looking forward to see-ing contract demands from the union.
Peter Fassbender said Friday government negotiators have been essentially negotiating with themselves be-cause their offer is the only one on the table.
The minister said he wants talks to reach the stage where each side has the others’ propos-als.
“Until we get an offer and their full pro-posal from the BCTF, it’s very difficult to move anywhere — until you know where the other goal post is,’’ he said. “It’s kind of like looking down a football field without knowing where the goal post is at the other end.’’
But B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said the union tabled its demands al-most a year ago, asking for wage increases that include cost-of-living adjustments and salary catch-ups to other provinces. The contract demands also call for smaller class sizes and more specialist teach-ers.
“What we’re looking at in salary is a cost-of-living adjustment so we can keep up with the cost of inflation, and we want to have an import-ant discussion with the employer in terms of comparability to our colleagues across Cana-da,’’ he said. “Our wages have fallen way behind compared to teachers in Manitoba, Saskatche-wan, Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick. That’s the important discussion for us.’’
Statistics Canada re-ports in 2010 that the minimum annual start-ing wage for a B.C. teacher was $41,963, while in Alberta, the same wage was $53,838
and the starting wage in Ontario was $42,030.
Iker said union ne-gotiators continued bargaining Friday and are prepared to be at talks scheduled for next week.
“We look forward to having that (wage) dis-cussion and tabling proposals back and forth at the bargaining table,’’ he said. “We also look forward to reach-ing a fair deal for teach-ers which includes bet-ter supports for our students. We want to see smaller class sizes for our students come September and more specialist teachers in the system.’’
“I’m hoping that’s the back and forth we can have with the gov-ernment,’’ said Iker.
In January, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the government’s move to strip class size and composition from the collective agreement was unconstitutional.
However, the gov-ernment went back to court last month and received a temporary stay of the ruling.
Following the re-lease of the strike vote late Thursday, Iker said no immediate job ac-tion was planned. He said earlier this week that part of the union’s negotiating strategy in-volves rotating strikes to provoke a settle-ment.
The initial govern-ment wage offer added up to 6.5 per cent over six years, followed by indexed increases.
Fassbender said the government remains committed to reaching a lengthy settlement with the teachers.
Premier Christy Clark has said she con-siders a 10-year con-tract a long-term deal, but the union immedi-ately shot down that possibility.
The province’s 41,000 teachers have been without a con-tract since June 2013, and outstanding issues include wages, class sizes and class compo-sition.

Too early to say why a Malaysia Airlines plane vanished but here are some probable causes
In this photo released by Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, a patrol vessel of Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency searches for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane off Tok Bali Beach in Kelantan, Malaysia, Sunday, March 9, 2014. Military radar indicates that the missing Boeing 777 jet may have turned back, Malaysia’s air force chief said Sunday as scores of ships and aircraft from across Asia resumed a hunt for the plane and its 239 passengers.
