CAROLYN GRANTRails 2 Trails is a shared amenity between Kim-

berley, Cranbrook and the RDEK which is extremely well-used.

And with the number of people who cycle, run, walk and roller blade on the trail, R2T Society Presi-dent Rob McIntyre is hopeful he will see a good turn out at the Annual General Meeting this Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m. the Heritage Inn, Cranbrook.

“We had a great group at the AGM in Kimberley last year,” McIntyre said. “43 people came out and we thought that was fantastic. We’re hoping to get more than that on Tuesday. We’d like to beat 43 this year.”

A volunteer board of directors from the Kimber-ley/Cranbrook/Wycliffe area manages the NorthStar Rails 2 Trails. The board’s mandate covers three areas of trail management: seasonal maintenance, grant/operational fund sourcing and trail promo-tion. The board works closely with cities of Cran-brook and Kimberley and the RDEK to tackle large-scale and long-term trail repairs.

If you’d like to have some say in trail management or just give a little back if you enjoy using Rail-s2Trails, attend the AGM on Tuesday.

RCMPTwo subjects are fac-

ing arson charges after major fire in February.

Cranbrook Fire Ser-vices along with RCMP and BC Ambulance re-

sponded to a structure fire on Feb. 27, 2015 at 6:32 am in the 1400 Block of 30th Ave N.

The complainant heard a loud explosion and saw that the vehi-

cles in the driveway were on fire and was spreading to the house. All occupants of the home were able to es-cape the fire by jumping off the rear balcony to

the home. The home, all its

contents and three ve-hicles were destroyed in the fire and damage is estimated to be around $800,000.

After an extensive in-vestigation by the Cran-brook GIS Section with the assistance of the Fo-rensic Identification and Cranbrook General Duty members, two

males were identified as suspects in the arson.

Drew Austin Waters, age 19, and Jordan David Normoyle, age 22, have both had their first appearances in

court and have both been charged with two counts each of Arson Damaging Property.

Their next court ap-pearance is set for June 8, 2015, in Cranbrook.

Two arrested for February fire

CANADIAN PRESS RCMP say a 21-year-old woman has been

charged with arson after a person suffered critical burns in an apartment fire in Creston, B.C.

Police say several people were rescued from a basement suite when the blaze broke out last Thurs-day.

They say one person was airlifted to hospital in Vancouver and is listed in critical condition.

Investigators say the blaze was highly suspicious, and a woman was arrested on Monday.

Elisha Jimmy is in custody pending a court ap-pearance scheduled for next week.

A development out by Shadow Mountain Golf Course is getting an infrastructure up-grade as ground broke on Fri-day for a new sewer system that will connect with the city of Cranbrook.

River’s Crossing Ltd. which is being connected to the mu-nicipal system, will replace an

existing system with in the de-velopment where sewage is piped to centralized tanks that are regularly emptied by pump trucks.

“It’s very exciting for our team and the city to be taking this step,” said Marty Gunder-son, the project manager at River’s Crossing. “It means residents will no longer have

to depend on the present pump and haul system.”

Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt was pleased to see progress on the River’s Crossing develop-ment.

“My fellow council mem-bers and I are deeply commit-ted to economic development in the region and this project is a symbol of what can be ac-

complished when business and government partner to-gether to make things hap-pen,” Pratt said.

The mayor added that the project, which will require ap-proximately four kilometres of pipeline, will utilize local la-bour and companies.

For the townsmanAt their February 7, 2015, concert,

the Symphony of the Kootenays con-ducted a survey of both audience members and orchestra musicians as to their spending habits associated with symphony concert events. The results may surprise a lot of people.

Symphony of the Kootenays con-certs generate significant economic benefits to the Cranbrook economy. The survey showed that combined per concert spending is over $20,000 by both audience members and mu-sicians. The 95% range of error on this estimate is between $18,200 and $29,900.

Spread over a four-concert Sym-phony season, spending associated with Symphony of the Kootenays concerts is estimated at over $90,000 (range: $72,936 to $119,720). The money is spent primarily on dining, drinks, retail shopping and accom-modations.

“These survey results show that the economic benefit of performing arts events, in this case a professional symphony orchestra that regularly performs here in Cranbrook, goes well beyond the price of admission,” says Symphony of the Kootenays President, Ian Adams.

Surveys were made available to each of the 512 people attending the concert at Key City Theatre in Cran-brook, BC. The concert, entitled A Night at the Movies, featured the music of film composer John Wil-liams from blockbuster movies in-cluding Jaws, E.T. The Extra-terrestrial and the original Star Wars series. A total of 51 surveys were returned from the audience, representing 133 peo-ple (26%) attending the concert. That the results were very positive perhaps should not have been a surprise – after all, Hollywood loves a good end-ing.

A similar survey was provided to musicians. “Our musicians are really making an impact. For many of them, Symphony of the Kootenays concert weekends are an opportunity to meet with friends and colleagues and play some great music,” says Adams. “This is a unique orchestra. We have no full time musicians and most do not re-side in Cranbrook. Many stay in ho-tels, they are dining out and shopping during their weekend stay in Cran-brook.”

Total per concert spending is al-most evenly split between the audi-ence and its musicians.Over half of the audience survey returns (30 of the 51 responses) indicated that they spend an average of $39.20 per per-son on other hospitality services (din-ing, drinks, etc.) before or after each concert. Musicians spend an average of $121 per person during their stay in Cranbrook. Estimates in the report are supported by statistical ranges

that are accurate 19 times out 20. The report is attached to this press re-lease.

Both audience members (17.6%) and, especially, out-of-town musi-cians (78.1%) indicated that they shop while in Cranbrook for Sympho-ny concert events, spending an aver-age of $29 and $74 per person, re-spectively. Most audience members who live more than an hour’s drive from Cranbrook typically overnight here following the concerts. While many musicians are placed with bil-lets and some audience members stay with friends, a large proportion rent hotel rooms.

These results clearly show that Symphony of the Kootenays does more than enrich the lives of thou-sands of Kootenay area residents through varied and wonderful music. Our survey demonstrates that sym-phony concerts also provide a signifi-cant economic benefit to Cranbrook’s hospitality sector as well as retail and other businesses.

“This spending shows that many people attending Symphony of the Kootenays concerts like to make an evening or weekend of the event. This benefits many businesses in town,” notes Adams. “Even conservative es-timates indicate that we’re leveraging well over 50 per cent of our annual budget in spin-off sales here in Cran-brook. We think that speaks volumes for the value of arts and culture to this town.”

About the Symphony of the Kootenays:

Cranbrook is among the smallest municipalities in Canada to support a professional symphony orchestra.

Symphony of the Kootenays (SOTK) was formed in 1975 as the Kootenay Chamber Orchestra. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary season in 2015-16. That is a major achievement.

Symphony of the Kootenays has among the lowest public funding per-centages in the country, averaging around one third of its revenue from public sources from grants.

Just over 50 per cent of the Sym-phony’s musicians live in the Koote-nays, while the remainder travel from southern Alberta, primarily Calgary and Lethbridge. The first time the symphony rehearses a program as an orchestra is the day before the perfor-mance. Musicians are in Cranbrook from Friday through Sunday and spend money on food, entertain-ment, lodging and retail shopping.

The Symphony of the Kootenays next performance will take place July 4, at the Kimberley Alpine Resort. Tickets for “Symphony on the Moun-tain,” are available at Centre 64, in Kimberley, Lotus Books, in Cran-brook or online at www.symphon-yonthemountain.com.

tion for a hungry and ap-preciative crowd has cir-culated the Province of BC causing a bounty of food vendors to sign up for the Taste of Cran-brook Food Court at the Central Fairgrounds of this year’s Sam Steele Days Community Festi-val.

“The Taste of Cran-brook event is now 11 years old and we have been popular from the beginning, each year be-coming more exciting,” declares Sam Steele So-ciety Director and entre-preneur Corinne Friesen.

“Once again many fa-vorite food vendors and area restaurateurs will be out in full force show-ing off their latest yummy delights.”

A diverse culinary expo will take place rep-resented by 17 East Koo-tenay sustenance spe-cialists and joined by another four unique vendors from Winlaw, Nelson, Cherryville and Castlegar. Never will there be a greater oppor-tunity in Cranbrook to sample a wider array of tantalizing tasties in one location. Enjoy live music while you snack, wander through the Sam Steele Market and let the kids play for free in the Kids Fun Zone. On Saturday, June 20,

to the communities where we work and live.

“To be a company that people want to exist and create value for our community is what drives us. Seeing our children enjoy Sam Steele Days just like we did when we were kids is a pretty special feeling and having our compa-ny involved only adds to that.”

The Sam Steele Soci-ety Director will pass the torch following this year’s event.

This is an especially exciting and emotional year for Corinne as it is the last year she will be the Director of the Taste of Cranbrook. “It is with much regret that I leave this position. I have en-joyed the years of plan-ning and working with the many professional volunteers involved with the Sam Steele Society.”

Various volunteer positions are available for anyone who feels they can contribute to our city’s favorite festival event and work as a team with others who admire our unique Koo-tenay culture and heri-tage. Support within the Sam Steele Society for new members is excep-tional. You’ll learn that you can do it and have a lot of fun too. Just show up with your positive at-titude and see the in-credible results. Inter-ested persons can call the Sam Steele Society Office (250) 426-4161 or email your message to [email protected]

There’s abundant flavour to savour at Sam Steele Days

from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 21, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Rotary Park in cen-tral Cranbrook will come alive with numerous fun activities for all ages. We have an amazing annual Festival thanks to the many volunteers and supporters.

Spring Honda has partnered with the Taste of Cranbrook for the past three years.

“Being involved in big community events like the Sam Steele Days Taste of Cranbrook, the Canada Day Celebration

and The Spring Honda Fun Run have all been very positive experienc-es for our business,” says Corey Spring, co-owner of Spring Honda. “We feel fortunate to be able to sponsor events that everyone in the commu-nity can take part in. It gives us a sense of pride to see local families en-joying their time togeth-er at an event we had a part in making happen. Grass roots community event sponsorships allow us to follow Honda Canada’s corporate leadership and give back

Over last fall and this spring, River’s Crossing has been completing other infrastructure projects such as road-work on the west side of the development that carried a roughly $1 million price tag, ac-cording to Westpoint Capital CEO Munir Vi-rani.

In addition to the $2.5 million investment into the sewer system, the company plans to further invest $500,000 into marketing and ad-vertising to promote the development.

With the current in-frastructure plans in place, Virani envisions the potential for up to 600 homes in the River’s Crossing community, and lots are starting to sell.

business has been rec-ognized for supporting diversity in the work-place. This month it is JJ’s Laundry Depot.

The acknowledge-ment comes from Cran-brook Society for Com-munity Living’s (CSCL) Employment Options Team by way of a Diver-sity @ Work sticker.

The Employment Options Team presented the sticker to Joanne Wannop and her crew at JJ’s Laundry Depot on Wednesday, May 6.

JJ’s Laundry has 18 employees, three of which are part of the CSCL program.

The Diversity @ Work sticker is awarded after an employer has em-ployed an individual with a developmental disability for a minimum of three months.

The sticker, which is displayed in the win-dow, encourages the community to patronize businesses that partici-pate in diversification.

The BC EmployNet team, along with the Provincial Networking Group, developed the program to recognize employers who support a diverse workplace.

BC EmployNet is a unified network com-mitted advancing em-ployment support prac-tices.

The Provincial Net-working Group Inc works to address social services needs in vari-ous regions across B.C.

The CSCL seeks to enrich the quality of life for individuals with de-velopmental disabilities.

velopment was sold to Westpoint Capital in January 2014 and re-branded River’s Cross-ing. The Shadow Moun-tain golf course itself is separately owned by a group based in Edmon-ton.

Despite the troubled past of the develop-ment, Virani notes that

the completion of vari-ous infrastructure proj-ects is making the com-munity more attractive to potential home-buy-ers.

Long-term, he be-lieves the development will be successful be-cause of the location and factors such as the St. Mary’s river, the mountains and the golf course.

“Because of those three fundamentals, River’s Crossing is going to be successful in the long run because it’s a desirable place to live and it’s a desirable place to play,” Virani said. “I have no doubt in my mind that in the long-term, it’s going to be successful, it’s just a matter of time.”

C h r i s t o p h e r Horsethief is optimistic that a newly released smartphone iOS app will help the future gen-eration keep the Ktu-naxa First Nation’s an-cient language alive.

He developed the “KtunaxaFont” app with a phonetic keyboard op-tion that allows users to write on Facebook, Twitter and iMessage in traditional Ktunaxa characters with full and small glottal stops (a sound made by ob-structing air flow in the middle of a word), hard consonants (¢, k, m, n, p, q and t) and the raised dot (a, i and u) for long vowels.

“It was intended to empower Ktunaxa speakers to utilize their language in tech envi-ronments such as Face-book, Twitter, texting and iMessage,” said Mr. Horsethief. “Previously Ktunaxa speakers had to cheat by using English characters, which means they were actual-ly learning an inaccu-rate writing convention at the same time they were trying to learn to write Ktunaxa — this

enne and the Navajo Nations.

Mr. Horsethief re-ceived a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Western Washington University’s Fairhaven College, a Masters in Applied Eco-nomics from Washing-ton State University’s School of Economic Sci-ences and a Ph.D. from Gonzaga University’s Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies.

He is an assistant professor at the Union Institute and University in Ohio, U.S.A., an ad-junct professor at Gon-zaga University in Washington, U.S.A. and has been an instructor of Ktunaxa Language at the College of the Rock-ies since 2011.

The Ktunaxa Nation Council sponsored the project to make the in-formation available free of charge.

“The Ktunaxa lan-guage is thousands of years old, a unique lan-guage not related to any other in the world, it connects us to each other, to the earth and to our ancestors,” said Donald Sam, Ktunaxa National Council Tradi-tional Knowledge and

Ktunaxa language revitalized through smartphone app

has an adverse impact on second language ac-quisition.”

The app was ported to Android, which made the Ktunaxa font avail-able on the top two mo-bile operating systems representing about 95 per cent of the mobile device market, accord-ing to Mr. Horsethief.

“The Ktunaxa app was the prototype for a series of keyboard apps that could empower mobile users from other Indigenous speech communities,” he said. “Currently, the Ktunaxa keyboard app is the Number One download, with Maori as Number Two and Interior Salish Number Three.”

In addition, he has designed Apple Store Fronts for Eastern Cree, Western Cree, Chey-

Language Sector. “Speaking the Ktunaxa language, we honour our ancestors and com-mit to perpetuating our traditions and culture on to future generations. The Ktunaxa recognize that we live in two worlds. We are taught to hold onto our tradition-al ways, but also live in a world of hustle and haste, a world of elec-tronics and material things. Revitalizing the Ktunaxa language and protecting it from ex-tinction is of utmost im-portance to me, and uti-lizing the latest in tech-nology makes it relevant to the youth I am trying to inspire.”

Mr. Horsethief be-lieves it’s critical to em-brace modern technolo-gy as a way to preserve First Nation history and culture.

“The Ktunaxa speech community has been a leader in using tech to drive language revital-

ization efforts,” he said. “Several projects, dating back to 2005, have pushed the envelope of coding languages and network architectures to gain insights into speech community activity. This work has driven ac-ademic scientific re-search in the fields of collective intelligence, leadership science and group dynamics. We will continue to use new tech in new ways to en-sure beginner speakers can speak old words and live traditional val-ues.”

Mr. Horsethief is working toward build-ing relationships with each nation to have each community spon-sor the development of their language’s key-board app so the infor-mation can be free to the community, which means the apps are downloaded twice as often as the $5 apps he initially creates.

Letters to the editororphaning cubs

To the bear ‘hunters’ who killed a moth-er bear near McGinty Lake last Thursday night:

The so-called bear ‘hunt’, where an ani-mal is chased up a tree by hounds, then shot by hunters below, is hard to under-stand for many of us, especially during the spring months, when young cubs are with the sows.

When the chase is on, sows chase the cubs up a tree to safety, and often are driv-en by the hounds away from the cubs.

One such ‘hunt’ occurred near Dry Lake and McGinty Lake in Meadowbrook last Wednesday night. The baying of hounds crashing through the bush, the roaring of trucks following, and then four shots, followed by four more. Obviously many of the shots fired into the air missed, and the bullets went … where? The final shot was followed by the hoots and hollers of excited males, obviously proud that they were able to hit a stationary animal cor-nered in a tree.

The result: as of Saturday night, one of the sow’s orphaned cubs was still huddled in a tree on private property near where the hound chase began, and another cub has disappeared into the gulley between Dry Lake and Mcginty. Conservation Offi-cers are trying to lure the cub down from the tree to traps, so it can be used to lure its sibling, and perhaps both of them can be saved at a wildlife rehabilitation centre.

Bear hunters: please consider not hunt-ing in the spring. If you feel the need to do this, please take the time to ensure you are not killing sows, as the cubs are likely not with them after a long hound chase.

Wildlife managers, please consider halting this barbaric hunt again, as it was in the early 2000’s. Filling the freezer is one thing. Orphaning cubs for a trophy is something else.

omar KhadrWhen is a murder not a murder?I have a problem understanding why

Stevey Harper and the US Military have such a hate on for Omar Khadr.

Khadr was 15 when his dastardly deed led to his incarceration and subsequent inprisonment at Guantunamo Bay. Child soldiers are supposed to be treated differ-ently than adults, an agreement that Cana-da signed on too. Khadr qualified for pro-tection under the conditions of that agree-ment.

Would Harper say “let the dogs have at him” if the situation was reversed and it was a 15-year-old Canadian soldier that had tossed the grenade, killing a Taliban soldier and then held in prison and tried as a war criminal. I find it unlikely, although Harper’s track record in helping Canadi-ans out of country suggests it a toss up whether he get his fingers dirty or not.

Khadr’s trial and conviction was at the hands of a US Military court, not a civilian trial and at the very least, from all ac-counts, heavily biased towards a finding of “guilty” from day one of the hearings.

The Canadian courts have ruled that Khadr should be freed from incarceration and we now see Harper and his minions having hissy fits that the courts saying

enough is enough. Khadr has served 15 years for his

“crime”, which he said he pled guilty to in order to get out of the continued mistreat-ment he endured in Guantanamo, a plea which he is apparently going to court to have withdrawn on the basis that it was made under duress.

Part of being a soldier, regardless of country, is signing up knowing they may die in action, what they don’t sign up for is being brought to trial for murder if they are captured by the enemy. The US Military and Mr. Harper may have set a president that has put our servicemen and women in harms way!

I wish to make clear that I am not writ-ing in support or non support of Mr. Khadr, however I would appreciate your readers to consider my question, “when is a mur-der not a murder”?

City/river’s CrossingWhere is the justification for Cran-

brook’s involvement in this entire project located miles from town? Surely there is far greater reason and justification for spend-ing within the city itself. As a taxpayer I never have or will condone the dubious spending of money beyond city boundar-ies nor am I likely to. There are far worthier projects deserving taxpayer monies within our fair city.

Hell has officially frozen over. That’s right—the New Democrat Party

won a majority government in Tuesday’s provincial election in Alberta.

It even snowed the day after polls closed, which makes that joke all the more amusing.

I don’t mean that as a partisan dig, but after 44 years of power, the Progressive Conservatives are outside looking in.

And not just out, but they’re not even the Official Opposition—the Wildrose Party holds that honour.

The PC’s weren’t just de-feated. They were crushed.

As an interested observ-er of political affairs across the provincial border, I can’t say I was too invested in the election. The result, however, is very inter-esting for a number of reasons.

Most significantly, the PCs, which have ruled provincial politics since 1971, are relegated to third-party status behind the Wildrose Party. In the same vein of signifi-cance, it was the NDP that won a majority government—a party that has never in the history of the province ever ruled in the legislature.

With polls giving the NDP a big lead in the days leading up to the election, I was naturally skeptical. I’ve seen what happens when the NDP is given a big lead in polls right before a provincial election.

Like B.C.’s recent results, I figured Al-bertans would break and go back to the devil they knew (relax, it’s just an expres-sion).

You got to feel a bit for Jim Prentice. A federal Conservative MP for six years

where he held a few cabinet positions, Prentice resigned in order to dip into pro-vincial politics and bring the PC party back to respectability following the spending scandals of former Alberta premier Alison Redford.

Right around when he took over last year, the global price of oil tanked and the energy industry has been struggling ever since. As a re-sult of the drop in oil prices, Prentice predicted a $7 bil-lion revenue shortfall in this year’s budget.

While that may have rubbed Alberta voters the wrong way, there was also the scandal—if that’s the appropriate term—of Wildrose leader Danielle Smith abandoning her party and crossing the floor to join the PCs.

If voters were bitter over the Redford scandal and leery about trusting the Wil-drose Party, which party did that leave?

I’m not necessarily suggesting that the NDP won because the other parties dropped the ball; the NDP obviously ran a good campaign and Premier-designate Rachel Notley has good name-recognition due to her father Grant Notley, who led the provincial NDP party from 1968-1984.

What’s interesting about the NDP result is that it’s been a long time coming to the pendulum shift.

Let me explain. In B.C. the NDP were elected in 1991

and ruled for just over nine years. At the

end of that, the pendulum shifted, and the B.C. Liberals won a landslide in 2001. After 13 years of Liberal governments, It seemed like that pendulum was about to shift again in 2013, but the polls leading up to the election proved to be—shall we say—an incorrect barometer of public opinion.

Even at the federal level; Brian Mul-roney and the Conservatives ruled in the 1980s, the pendulum shifted in the 1990s and the Liberals formed government, then the pendulum shifted again in 2006 when the Conservatives got back in.

What makes the recent result in Alberta so historic, is that the PCs ruled for 44 years and obviously survived those pendu-lum shifts. Until now.

Moving forward, two things will be of interest to political observers. The first is obviously how the NDP fares with a major-ity government, how they run the province and what their priorities are.

The second will be to see how the PCs recover, especially now that they’re leader-less, as Prentice fell on his sword and im-mediately resigned following Tuesday’s results.

In the context of federal politics, it’ll also be interesting to see if the NDP wave in Alberta translates into federal NDP sup-port when Stephen Harper calls an elec-tion widely expected for the fall.

Regardless of where you sit on the polit-ical spectrum, that orange glow you see from the east is a new dawn for Alberta politics.

Alberta boundSaretsky signs with AJHL’s Canmore Eagles

Townsman File PhoTo

Braden Saretsky, pictured with the Kimberley Dynamiters during the 2014-15 KIJHL season, is taking his talents east after signing with the AJHL’s Canmore Eagles.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

It didn’t take long for folks around the Koote-nay International Junior Hockey League to notice Braden Saretsky after he arrived in Kimberley fol-lowing a trade with the Summerland Steam.

Apparently hockey minds outside the KIJHL were watching intently as well.

Friday, the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Ju-nior Hockey League (AJHL) announced Saretsky had signed with the team.

“I’ve wanted to play Junior ‘A’ hockey my whole life and I’m very excited about the op-portunity to play in the AJHL,” Saretsky said in an Eagles press release. “My coach, Jerry Bancks, told me to go play for a team that likes you, and Andrew Milne showed some real commitment

to me, so that’s where I’m going to play. I’ve visited Canmore as a kid and really liked what I saw. I can’t wait to get there and start the sea-son.”

During the 2014-15 KIJHL campaign, Saretsky blossomed with the Dynamiters. Acquired from the Steam in exchange for forward Tyson Kling-spohn Nov. 29, Saretsky put forth 14 goals and 41 points in 25 games with the Nitros. In all, the 19-year-old West Kelow-na native rattled off 19 goals and 54 points in 44 games this past season.

“I’m very happy for [Braden] that the Can-

more Eagles will give him an opportunity to play Junior ‘A’ hockey and potentially earn a U.S. scholarship,” Bancks said in an Eagles press release.

While his regular-sea-son numbers were great, it was Saretsky’s big-game ability in the play-offs that solidified the fact he would be fielding calls from Junior ‘A’ clubs in western Canada upon completing the season in Kimberley.

The 5-foot-11 for-ward showed his versa-tility, producing from both the wing and the centre position, tallying 18 goals and 29 points in 22 KIJHL playoff games. Those totals were good enough to lead the Ni-tros in playoff scoring as the team went on to claim Kimberley’s first KIJHL title since the Kimberley Knights won it all in 1980.

If not for the out-

standing play of goal-tender Tyson Brouwer, Saretsky likely would’ve laid claim to the Dyna-miters Playoff MVP award.

At the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup in Mission, Saretsky added one goal and three points in four

games.“Everyone wants a

winner on their team and Braden is a winner,” said Andrew Milne, Ea-gles head coach and general manager, in a team release. “Braden is a hard-working, com-mitted player and we are

thrilled that he is coming to join the Eagles.

“Jerry [Bancks] runs a very good hockey pro-gram down in Kimber-ley, so I’m confident that Braden can suc-cessfully make the jump to Junior ‘A’ hockey.”

The Eagles finished

the 2014-15 season sixth in the AJHL’s Viterra South Division with a re-cord of 27-31-2.

Having the goal-scor-ing prowess of Saretsky should only help to im-prove the Eagles chances in the competitive AJHL South.

Playing the Kelowna Rockets at any time is an uphill battle.

Heading to B.C., trail-ing the Rockets 2-0 in the best-of-seven Western Hockey League champi-onship series, the Bran-don Wheat Kings are fac-ing a mountain.

Nick Merkley’s short-handed goal mid-way through the third period broke a tie and sent the Rockets on their way to a 5-3 victory over the Wheat Kings in Game 2 of the Ed Chynoweth Cup final on Friday at Westman Place.

The goal was Merk-ley’s second of the game and came less than four minutes after the Wheat Kings rallied from two goals down to knot the score at 3-3 on a pair of Peter Quenneville mark-ers. In both games, Bran-don has scored first, fall-en behind 3-1, rebound-ed to tie the score and then given up the win-ning goal.

“It is frustrating,” said Quenneville, the Wheat

Kings’ captain. “I think we’ve struggled in the first two games to create a gap in the score for us. Scoring that first goal early again like we did and failing to get the next one or even another one after that, and then giv-ing up that goal bang-bang in a situation where we’ve kind of got the mo-mentum back and we’re believing that we can come back and win this game. Unfortunately, it kind of takes the wind out of your sail when you give up those goals.”

Merkley had a three-point night, also assist-ing on Leon Draisaitl’s empty-netter. Rourke Chartier and Gage Quinney also scored for Kelowna, which hosts Game 3 on Monday.

Tim McGauley opened the scoring for Brandon only 1:20 into the game, scoring on a Jayce Hawryluk pass only seconds after fan-ning on his winger’s first setup attempt. Chartier tied the game with a quick shot from the slot off a feed from Draisaitl, then Dillon Dube found

Merkley in front for the go-ahead goal.

Quinney struck 27 seconds into the second period before the Wheat Kings began to rally. They fired 19 shots in the middle frame, but Kelowna goalie Jackson Whistle stood tall on his way to a 38-stop night, including a big glove

save to deny McGauley on an odd-man rush.

Quenneville tied the game in the third with goals less than four min-utes apart, scoring an even-strength goal on a one-timer, then adding his eighth power-play goal on the playoffs, scooping up a loose puck after Morgan Klim-chuk’s shot hit a skate.

With another power play, the Wheat Kings were charging hard. Hawryluk’s shot on a 2-on-1 was deflected by Whistle and the game

took another turn as the play was reversed, with Merkley slipping past the pressing Brandon ‘D’ and deking out Wheat Kings goalie Jordan Pa-pirny, who finished with 26 saves.

“It was pretty exciting to see Nick score,” Whis-tle said at the post-game media conference. “When they scored their third goal, you’re just trying to stay calm. You kind of forget about the goal and look forward to the next shot, keep the next shot out and keep hitting it back.”

The Rockets are scheduled to host the next three games, if the series goes that far, and Wheat Kings head coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon wants to see a continua-tion of the progress he saw on Saturday.

“I think we were bet-ter in Game 2 than we were in Game 1,” he said. “We’ve got to stay on that path. That’s playoff hockey, the games are going to be close. You need to get on the right side of it. I don’t think it’s

going to matter where the games are played, but certainly we’ve got to get the result in Game 3 on Monday.”

McGauley, knows the odds are stacked against his team right now, but he said the players need to keep their spirits high.

“It’s tough. We’re in a bit of a hole right now but it’s been done be-fore,” he said. “Teams have been down two games to none and come back to win cham-pionships, so we know we can’t hang our heads, can’t be negative or anything like that. We’ve got to make sure we bounce back strong and that’s what we’ll do.”

ONE-TIMERS: Atten-dance matched Game 1, with a full house of 5,502 … Both teams dressed the same lineup as Game 1, with the Wheat Kings scratching C/RW Reid Duke, D Kale Clague, LW Quintin Lisoway, C/RW Stelio Mattheos, D/LW Mark Matsuba and D Mark Taraschuk … Rock-ets scratches included LW Tyrell Goulbourne.

TORONTO - Mike Napoli and Pablo Sando-val homered as the Bos-ton Red Sox defeated Toronto 6-3 on Sunday at Rogers Centre to end the Blue Jays’ three-game winning streak.

Napoli hit a three-run shot in Boston’s four-run first inning and Sandoval added a two-run blast in the fifth off Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey. Chris Colabello had three hits for Toron-to, which fell back to the .500 mark with the loss.

Clay Buchholz worked 6 1/3 innings for the Red Sox (14-17), who picked up their second win in nine games. Koji Uehara pitched the ninth inning for his sixth save.

Dickey’s knuckleball had little movement in the early going and the Red Sox took advantage. Mookie Betts led off the game with a triple and scored on a Dustin Pe-droia groundout.

Hanley Ramirez and Sandoval reached later in the inning before Na-poli turned on a 1-1 pitch for his third homer of the year.

Buchholz (2-4) also started off slowly but the

Blue Jays couldn’t inflict any damage. He walked three batters in the opening frame before escaping when Kevin Pillar hit into a forceout.

Toronto (16-16) scratched out a run in the fourth inning. Edwin Encarnacion reached on a single, moved to second on a Pillar groundout and scored when Colabello lifted a single into centre field.

Buchholz appeared to be in some discom-fort after closing out the frame. Red Sox manager John Farrell and a team trainer came to the mound during his war-mup pitches in the fifth and the right-hander stayed in the game.

Devon Travis lashed a two-out double in the inning and scored when Josh Donaldson hit a double. Jose Bautista grounded out to leave Donaldson stranded.

Dickey (1-4) allowed six earned runs, seven hits and three walks over six innings. Reliev-er Ryan Tepera made his major-league debut in the seventh and worked a 1-2-3 frame capped by a brilliant Donaldson pickup of a Ramirez hot shot to the left side.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t lose your focus. You can accomplish a tremendous amount if you just keep your attention on the matter at hand. Use care with a neighbor or sibling, as misunderstandings could start up from out of the blue. Tonight: Take some much needed personal time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others seem to be asking a lot of you. For some reason, you’ll feel obligated to meet each request or challenge. Slow down and look at what you really want to do. You could be overwhelmed by others. A late afternoon meeting will be significant. To-night: Hang with a pal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to see the big picture. How you handle a situation could change after some detachment. You’ll gain new information through new insights. Observe a tendency to get frustrated when others don’t seem to get your message. To-night: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relate to one person directly, and make sure that your mes-sage is properly conveyed. Not everyone attaches the same symbolism to a word. Reiterat-ing a statement several different ways likely will add power to your words. Tonight: Respond to an odd but interesting idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be concerned about an associate or a special loved one. Much information sudden-ly could come forward. A friend will want things to go his or her way, which is likely to put your friendship at risk. Exhaustion surrounds you. Tonight: Nap first; decide later. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try another approach or do something very differently from how you have done it in the recent past. A boss could start becoming more argumentative and difficult. You might want to distance yourself, as this person needs to work through a person-al issue. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more in touch with

a problem than you are aware. You can make light of it, but ultimately you will need to deal with the issue at hand. A con-versation with a dear friend will give you another perspective to work with. Tonight: Make sure to get enough exercise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home. In fact, if you can work from home, you could be much more content and happier. An associate might be challenging you a little too much for your taste. Work with the person’s ideas rather than negate them. The results will be better. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to notice someone get quite hostile or angry in a situation, whether it happens now or in the next few weeks. A person who reacts that strong-ly probably feels insecure or judged. It would be wise to give him or her some space for now. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be taken aback by a situation that surrounds your finances. Communication will

be necessary once you decide which way to go. Others seem to be somewhat combative in your daily life. Find out why. Tonight: You don’t need to go far to have a deep conversation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be ready to head in a new direction. An issue could arise that you and your associ-ates don’t agree on. You proba-bly will have to stall some in or-der to maintain a cohesive bond. Be gracious. It is better to move ahead with support. Tonight: Clear out some shopping. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Play it low-key throughout the day. You will note an intense, busy pace in the morning that could become frantic by midday. A problem with a family mem-ber is likely to flare up. Someone close to you could decide to put on war paint. Tonight: You feel better and better.

Dear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and ap-parently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She married someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce be-cause of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them. My wife died a year ago. A few months later, Hazel contacted me. We hit it off right away. She lives three hours away, so we take turns visiting every two weeks. We get along very well, except when the subject of Larry comes up. Hazel says her relationship with him is over now that I’m in the picture, but I discovered that he had stopped by again with a gift. She said she didn’t let him in the door. The other day, she slipped and called me “Larry.” She apologized, but you can imagine how that made me feel. I’m starting to be-lieve I’m her rebound guy. I think she is crazy about Larry and if his wife should die, she’d be at his door in a heartbeat. Is it possible for Larry and Hazel to be such good friends without something more going on? He even told her about his erectile dysfunction, but I worry that may have come from first-hand knowledge. Hazel says she loves me and has for years, but the “green-eyed monster” has taken over my heart, and I don’t know how to get rid of these jeal-ous feelings. -- Very Confused Dear Confused: Your jealousy is not completely unfounded. Hazel rejected Larry not because she dislikes him, but because he is married. If that obstacle didn’t exist, there is indeed the possi-bility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he seems to be quite interested in her. Their relation-ship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that is why you react so negatively toward him. You are not the rebound guy. You’re the backup. Hazel needs to tell Larry to pay more attention to his wife -- no more gifts, no more surprise visits, no more intimate confidences, and the friendship must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to him is stronger than it should be. Ei-ther give her time to see whether she becomes more connected to you, or let her go. Dear Annie: “Like Pregnant Not Fat,” I am amazed at how rude people can be to pregnant women. I am pregnant with my second child and have been asked, “Was this preg-nancy planned?” It is such a personal and nosy question, it stuns me. Any suggestions on how to respond? -- Ex-pecting Mom in the Midwest Dear Expecting: The default response to nosy, intrusive questions is, “Why do you need to know?” But if any of our readers has a better one, we’ll be hap-py to print it.

S t e v e H u b r e c H tColumbia Valley Pioneer

Canfor Canal Flats mill employ-ees finally had some positive news, even as mass layoffs finally took ef-fect earlier this week.

The layoffs, which were first an-nounced in February, came into ef-fect on Monday, May 4th, but the week prior, mill employee Daniel Bybee — who had expressed critical opinions of how the company was handling the situation in previous Pioneer stories — had some positive feedback on Thursday, April 30th.

“It’s a way brighter picture than it was,” said Mr. Bybee. “There’s some good things.”

Chiefly among these positive de-velopments is that Canfor and Local 1-405 of the United Steelworkers District 3 union (which represents the mill workers) have agreed to early retirement packages for 15 workers who have more than 30 years of service at the mill.

“That opens up 15 jobs for other people to stay,” said Mr. Bybee, add-ing he’s also heard that 10 Canal Flats mill workers have been accept-

ed to transfer to positions in Can-for’s Radium Hot Springs mill, al-lowing them to stay in the valley.

Mr. Bybee added that the mill workers had recently been given a crew list, and it will be down to 100th on the seniority list before people will be getting laid off.

“It looks like almost all the trades-people will have jobs and there are six people on the call-out list. It’s good,” he said. “Some of the younger employees (who will be laid off ) are going back to school for trades, such as heavy duty mechanic or electri-cian.”

Others getting laid off, including Mr. Bybee, have been doing inter-views at another pulp mill.

In the meantime, the company held a barbecue to thank the work-ers on Thursday, April 30th.

“It’s nice for them to recognize it’s been a stressful time and that we need to say goodbye,” said Mr. Bybee.

The layoffs will eliminate an en-tire shift at the Canal Flats mill. Prior to the layoff, there were two shifts.

Good news for a change for Canal Flats mill workers
