Highways petition

The waste water treatment plant is the big one when it
comes to infrastructure replacement
C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor
As some Kimberley residents may be aware, the replacement of Kimberley’s waste water treatment plant, with a cost of $26 to $36 million, looms on the horizon.
A recent inspection by the Ministry of Envi-ronment on Kimberley’s plant has found some issues of non-compliance that need to be dealt
with, but eventual replacement is inevitable. Manager of Operations Mike Fox has advised that the City needs to come up with a five to seven year plan for replacement.
Mayor Don McCormick says Council is very aware of the issue.
“With the recent inspection the MOE has come back with some issues. The plant is old,
things need to be replaced,” McCormick said. “They expect us to take action. Council ap-proved money this year for an engineering study to look at partial replacement or phased re-placement. Our intent is to get that done. We have applied for a grant.”
Kimberley is not alone in facing this major replacement, McCormick says.

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald delivered a petition to the BC Leg-islature on Monday. The petition contained nearly 1,000 names of people who are con-cerned about the state of maintenance on the highways in the East Kootenay, Macdonald said.
“I was pleased to present this petition on behalf of the people of the East Kootenay re-gion who are very worried about the state of our highways,” said Macdonald. “I took this opportunity to bring this issue to the attention of the Minister of Transportation, Todd Stone.”

Recruitment for Committees 2015City of Cranbrook
There is one opportunity for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook Advisory Planning Commission.
The Advisory Planning Commission advises Council on matters respecting land use, community planning or proposed bylaws and permits. One position is available.
Membership is open to residents of the City of Cranbrook.
Terms of reference for the Advisory Planning Commission are available on the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca
Interested individuals are invited to submit a Volunteer Application form available at City Hall or the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca.
Applications will be accepted at City Hall (attention Maryse Leroux) or by email [email protected], no later than Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. local time.
Cranbrook Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The City of Cranbrook is in the process of updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The � rst phase of the planning process is to collect information and input from the community so that the plan can be responsive to community interests.
The public is invited to provide their feedback at an open house, Wednesday May 13th, taking place from 4:30 to 8pm. During the open house, there will also be opportunities to participate in an interactive workshop, from either 5-6 pm or 7-8 pm. This will take place in the vacant lease space located at Western Financial Place.
In addition to the public open house, user groups will be contacted for focus sessions taking place between May 12-14th.
If you have any questions, or have a group interested in attending a focus group, please contact Chris New at (250) 489-0251.
From Page 1“We have proposed changes to the
petition process to require the Minis-ter to see it. Right now there is no re-quirement for a formal response. But I directed it to the Minister of Trans-portation in the Legislature.”
Still a petition is a good tool, he says.
“A significant number of people signed the petition and also wrote comments,” he said. “It’s one more tool pushing the government to do the right thing.”
Macdonald says the state of winter
roads is one of the biggest concerns raised in his office, and that he has raised the issue with the Minister and his staff many times.
“All politicians from this region have not only heard from their con-stituents on this but have experienced it ourselves. Bill Bennett and myself drive these roads. This isn’t an incon-venience. It’s an important safety issue.
“It is clear from this petition that people are fed up. It’s time for the gov-ernment to take real action to make our highways safe.”
Macdonald delivers roads petition
Townsman sTaff A Jaffray man was
sentenced to six months in jail to be served in the community in connec-tion with the death of a tragic gun accident that killed a teenaged family friend.
George Phillips was sentenced in Cranbrook Provincial Court on Tuesday morning, as Judge Grant Sheard added other conditions such as a one-year pro-bationary period and a two-year firearms ban as part of his ruling.
Phillips was charged with careless storage of a firearm and storage of firearm contrary to regu-lation.
On June 16, 2011, Mi-chael Voth died in a resi-
dence in Jaffray from a gunshot wound after friends were handling a shotgun that was not properly secured in a gunsafe.
Sheard delivered his ruling after hearing a joint submission from crown and defence law-yers a few weeks ago.
In March 2011, Phil-lips' daughter received a death threat on her cell phone. Due to the dis-tance between Cran-brook and Fernie—the closest RCMP detach-ments—Phillips loaded a shotgun and left it hid-den behind a door and clothes in the bedroom for family protection.
There the shotgun stayed until the incident, when Phillips and his
wife were out for the eve-ning, shopping in Cran-brook.
In addition to the shotgun, five other guns were seized by RCMP that were not secured be-cause Phillips had been hand-loading his own shells the day before.
In addressing the Voth family, Sheard noted that Voth's death and the impact state-ments from family mem-bers are a reminder of the importance of gun safety and the tragic conse-quences that can result from an improperly stored firearm.
He also added that the sentence is not meant to be a measurement of the value of a human life.
for The BulleTin
Kootenay-Columbia Green party candidate, Bill Green, says the federal budget tabled last month is a hodge-podge of promises that have little to do with the future of Canada’s future economic and social health.
“I’m deeply disap-pointed that the bud-get does very little to support the growth of the green economy,” says Green. “That is the economy we need to have in the future, in the Kootenays as well as across Canada. We have to do more to build a low carbon, sustainable and equi-table economy now.”
Green is most con-cerned about the gov-ernment’s decision to open up a whole new category of accelerated tax write offs to pro-mote fracking and liq-uefied natural gas (LNG), completely vio-lating the Prime Minis-ter’s own pledge to the G-20 to stop subsidiz-ing fossil fuels.
“Why do we need to subsidize the LNG in-dustry with a 30% Cap-ital Cost Allowance for LNG equipment when we really need to level the playing field for low carbon, renewable sources of energy. The phrase ‘climate change’ isn’t even mentioned in the federal budget!”
Green says munici-pal infrastructure funding promised in the budget, which is
Green Party candidate deeply disappointed with federal budget
desperately needed and should be green-focused, won’t kick in for another two years. He also frustrat-ed that the Harper ad-ministration gave little attention to the crises in First Nations educa-tion.
“For First Nations, this is very much a ‘sta-tus quo’ budget,” says Green, “and the status quo for First Nations is unacceptable, particu-larly when it comes to education and health care in remote and rural communities.”
In a recent press re-lease, Elizabeth May, Green party leader and Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Is-lands, slammed the Conservative govern-
Kootenay Columbia Green candidate Kimberley’s Bill Green.
ment’s priorities. “The Harper ad-
ministration is set to spend more money on the celebrations of Canada’s 150th birth-day than on the crisis of First Nations educa-tion,” May wrote. “It is remarkable that in a budget tabled seven months before the ne-gotiation deadline for a comprehensive cli-mate treaty, the words ‘climate change’ are nowhere even men-tioned.”
“Having put all their eggs in the bitu-men basket for so long, the Harper administra-tion reacted to low oil prices like a bunny in the headlights – delay-ing the budget by
months, while ignoring economic opportuni-ties,” May continued. “In the Green Party’s pre-budget submis-sion, we had urged the minister to move quickly to provide needed boosts for those sectors of our economy that benefit from the low dollar – specifically tourism, film and television pro-duction, and manufac-turing. While the bud-get acknowledges that tourism is a significant sector of our economy, no funding is commit-ted.”
Green was nominat-ed as the Kootenay-Co-lumbia Green Party candidate last Decem-ber. The 62-year-old fisheries biologist, who has lived and worked in this region for the past two decades, is committed to reviving our democracy, build-ing a green economy, reconciling with First Nations, expanding green infrastructure, reducing Canada’s car-bon emissions, and es-tablishing Canada as a global beacon of peace.
Jaffray man sentenced for role in gun death
From Page 1“I know there are a lot
of other community’s waste water treatment plants have the same issue. The standards re-quired have gone up so much, the code they were built to can’t keep up.”
The problem is, there is not enough money in provincial, federal or municipal coffers to re-place all those plants.
“This whole infra-
structure problem is not easy,” he said. “The money isn’t there to fix all the problems.
“Every year our proj-ects replace stuff that is broken. The issue isn’t the amount of capital but that we are spending less than depreciation. We need to get to the point where we are not digging the hole any deeper.”
It’s not necessary to replace everything, he says, just to get to the
point where you have a 50 per cent depreciation on assets.
“I’d be happy at that point. It’s an asset man-agement issue.”
Council has approved the beginning of an asset management plan, Mc-Cormick says, which is something the federal and provincial govern-ment will be looking for to accompany grant ap-plications.

Hi there. Wel-come to the first article
on growing food and botanicals in Kimberley using today’s new meth-ods of mulching, per-maculture, and pollina-tors. Kimberley has a short growing season and some summers are scorchers, so some folks have given up garden-ing. Today we know a few ways to improve our yield, garden sustain-ably, and eat organic food for the cost of our labor.
I dream of savoring a just-picked salad, warm tomatoes from the vine, and fresh peas from the vine (mine are up). I love fresh herbs, vegeta-bles not available from
local stores (like sun-chokes) and as many free raspberries as I can eat. And most import-ant for me, more of my food is organic, fresh and tasty. Plant what you love.
The new knowledge for vegetable, fruit and herb growing mimics natural ecosystems.
This involves minimal tilling, natural fertilizers and using mulches to hold soil moisture in our hotter summers, just as Mother Nature drops leaves and small branches to cover the soil, providing ecologi-cal niches for soil or-ganisms. It can be bio-intensive, it is or-ganic and uses open-pollinated seeds so that you are able to save and acclimatize your seeds to our East Kootenays climate. Avant-garde includes planting pollinators, protector plants, bio-ac-cumulating plants and nitrogen-fixers. It can be done in the ground or in containers.
Lasagna gardening is an easy way to start a garden plot, seen last summer at the Open
Gate Garden. They had a good harvest of pota-toes (a good starter for loosening the soil) on their very poor soil. The time-consuming part is collecting the materials, then layer them up and plant right away.
A lasagna garden can be created on bare soil or grass (avoid crab or couch grass which will infiltrate your space) by putting down a layer of thick newspapers or flat cardboard boxes, then a layer of dry leaves or weeds, then enough soil to plant, perhaps 8 inches. My first lasagna bed two years ago con-tained carrots, arugula, Chinese broccoli, straw-berries and flowers to attract pollinators and all were successful.
Containers can be used if you don’t have ground. Lettuce, rad-ish, beet, strawberry, parsley and mint will grow in pots that are at least 8 inches deep and 14 inches wide. One broccoli plant or tomato does well in a five gallon pail with holes in the bottom. The challenge with pots in our hot days is watering, which can be twice daily, or move them into a spot with part shade.
We are in Zone 3b/4b (I think) and our last frost is usually at the end of May. So vegeta-bles which are frost ten-der like tomatoes, corn,
melons, and squash can be planted indoors now (6 weeks before frost). Outdoors you may plant peas, snow peas, pars-nip, beet, carrot, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, chard, lettuce, parsley, radish, spinach, cilan-tro, sunflower and leek at this time. Don’t start the rest early because we want vegetables to have no slowdowns in growth, and though they will grow indoors they need to be placed into bigger and bigger containers before you can put them outside.
Today more vegeta-bles are started indoors than in years past, even lettuce and beets are transplanted from cells. Remember to clean all indoor equipment well (3 Tablespoons bleach to 1 gallon water to ster-ilize) and purchase ster-ilized soil to give them a safer start. Try seeds from Kimberley Public Library’s Seed Library, they’re free, grown here and open-pollinated.
Join me for a discus-sion of what food is growing in Kimberley right now, and what to plant now, what’s work-ing and what to grow now on Thursday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. in the upstairs board room of the Kimberley Public Library. Blissful growing, everyone!
KIMBERLEY, BC - The City is encouraging residents to think about emergency prepared-ness this week. It is im-portant to be ready for any emergency, but part of being prepared in-cludes knowing what types of disasters can happen in your area. In Kimberley, our geo-graphical location and some of the unique fea-tures of our community play a role on what we need to be prepared for including flood, wild-fire, or extreme weather.
During this past year’s budgetary pro-cess, Council agreed to create an “Extreme Weather Reserve” fund-ed from savings in the snow removal budget each year. The fund had a healthy $40,438 trans-ferred to it using monies that weren’t spent in the 2014/15 snow season. The reserve will top out at $100,000 with funds being utilized when the community experiences unplanned costs due to

Emergency Preparedness
Weekextreme weather. “His-tory tells us that it is not ‘if’ but rather ‘when’ we will need to respond to an emergency. Having funds available to re-spond to the communi-ty need, just makes good sense,“ said Mayor Don McCormick when asked about the reserve.
Another part of being prepared is having an emergency kit prepared ahead of time. If an emergency happens in our community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach peo-ple. Be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a mini-mum of 72 hours. This is especially important for those that have special needs. It is a good idea to establish a network of neighbours, friends and family who can help you during an emergency or evacuation. “There are some great resources online to assist with res-idents looking to pre-pare their own kits at home, such as www.get-prepared.bc.ca, “ says Kimberley Fire Chief, Al Collinson.
Emergency Pre-paredness Week is May 3rd to 9th this year; it is an annual event that takes place each year during the first full week of May. This national event is coordinated by Public Safety Canada, in close collaboration with the provinces and terri-tories and partners. More information is available by visiting the City’s web site at www.kimberley.ca

T here was supposed to be a referen-dum in Burma this month. It would have addressed all the cynical claus-
es that the military regime wrote into the 2008 constitution to safeguard its own hold on power. But that isn’t going to happen: not now, and probably not before the na-tional election that is due in October or November of this year. There are even people in Burma who wonder wheth-er the election itself will be held on time.
“I would just like to re-mind you,” said Aung San Suu Kyi, for almost thirty years the leader of the pro-democracy movement in Burma, “that I have been saying since 2012 that a bit of healthy scepticism (about the army’s real intentions) would be very, very good.” Speaking to The Guardian newspaper last month, she warned that “too many of our Western friends are too optimistic about the democratisation process.”
She certainly got that right. Since Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 2010, her supporters abroad (who include most leaders of democratic countries) have as-sumed that democratic reforms were well underway. So they ended the sanctions against the military regime, and their citi-zens swarmed into Burma to invest in an almost completely undeveloped economy.
China and other non-democratic coun-tries piled in too, of course, and an enor-mous economic boom is transforming Burma. Foreign investors have profited mightily, and ex-generals and other people with close ties to the military have benefit-ed even more. There is even a more or less free press. But democracy? Not so much.
Former general Thein Sein is still presi-dent, and a parliament controlled by mili-tary officers and regime supporters re-mains in place. Suu Kyi’s National League
for Democracy (NLD) will doubtless win most of the seats if the election is actually held next autumn, but the constitution written by the military bars her from the presidency on the ludicrous ground that her two sons are foreign citizens. (Her late husband was British.)
That is one of the reasons why changing the constitution has be-come a key issue. Another is the provision that gives unelected military officers one-quarter of the seats in parliament, which gives them a veto on any changes to the constitution. The re-gime did not really decide
to hand power over to the civilians; it made just enough cosmetic changes to convince foreigners that it was now acceptable to invest in Burma.
A large majority of ordinary Burmese revere Aung San Suu Kyi (she is the daugh-ter of independence hero Aung San), and five million of them signed a petition ask-ing for an end to the constitutional ban on her being chosen as president. The regime simply ignored it, and it looks like it is get-ting away with it. The foreign investment just keeps coming.
The referendum on constitutional changes is in the hands of the current par-liament, which is packed with regime sup-porters who were elected in a vote boycot-ted by the NLD. It was originally promised for this month, but no date has yet been announced. Neither has anybody revealed exactly which of the 201 sections of the constitution where changes were pro-posed will actually be put to a vote.
Which of the eight versions of a new clause about Suu Kyi’s eligibility for the presidency will be in the referendum, if it actually happens? Nobody knows, and it is basically the regime that will choose. Maybe none of them will. And it is now
practically certain that the autumn elec-tion will be held under the old constitu-tion.
It is possible that Thein Sein, the cur-rent president, is really trying to get his more recalcitrant military colleagues to accept democratic reforms and is just meeting a lot of resistance. The military have had absolute control of Burma for the past fifty-three years, after all, and a lot of them have got very rich out of it. But Thein Sein actually doesn’t sound like he’s very eager for full democracy himself.
In an interview with the BBC in March, he insisted that the army must remain ac-tive in politics — “Serving the interests of the people means being involved in na-tional politics” — and that the role of the military would only change gradually “as the political parties mature in their politi-cal norms and practice.” In other words, the army itself will decide if and when to stop running the whole show.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the military will cling to power for as long as possible, but it is remarkable how the foreign supporters of democracy in Burma have gone along with the pretense. US President Barack Obama, for example, has visited Burma twice since 2012, but the harshest thing he had to say was that “I don’t understand a provision that would bar somebody from running for president because of who their children are.”
It’s probably too late to reinstate sanc-tions now, so the Burmese are effectively on their own. The only recourse that might work is massive non-violent protests of the sort that happened in 1988 and several times since. The trouble with that is that the Burmese army has never been reluc-tant to shoot its own fellow citizens.

Stocking the shelvesKootenay Ice prepare for 2015 WHL Bantam Draft Thursday morning
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
For the first time since 2002, the Kootenay Ice will go without a first-round selection at the WHL Bantam Draft. De-spite the lack of a first-round pick, there’s still plenty of opportunity for success at the WHL’s an-nual restocking.
“In any draft, you want to get the best players. It’s pretty sim-ple,” said Jeff Chynoweth, Kootenay Ice president and gener-al manager, Tuesday af-ternoon. “It’s always tough. It’s a crapshoot. You’re dealing with 14- and 15-year-old boys. They change over time. Going into every draft, you’re hoping to get minimum three players and possibly up to five.
“We’re going to try to get the best available player. One thing about the draft, with 22 teams, you get 22 different opin-ions. Everyone rates players differently.”
The WHL Bantam Draft gets underway Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. from the Deer-foot Inn in Calgary, though the Ice are slated to sit out the first round of selections after Chynoweth dealt his team’s 2015 first-round pick in the trade that brought Tim Bozon to Cranbrook from the Ka-mloops Blazers on Oct. 22, 2013.
The Saskatoon Blades won the 2015 WHL Draft Lottery, but the team swapped its 2015 first-round selection with the Spokane Chiefs in ex-change for forward Col-lin Valcourt at the 2013 trade deadline.
Called to the podium to open the festivities, the Chiefs are expected to select the consensus top-ranked player head-ing into the draft -- 5-foot-10, 161-pound defenceman Ty Smith of Delta Hockey Academy.
As for the Ice, Chynoweth and director of scouting Garnet Ka-zuik, will call their first name in the second round with the 33rd-overall selection.
Kazuik was unavail-able for comment prior to Tuesday press dead-line at 5 p.m.
Barring a transaction to acquire a first-round-er, or any other draft choice, the Ice have 10 picks to make from the second round through the 12th round and Chynoweth expects to use each one.
The Ice have a prov-en track record of un-earthing diamonds in the rough.
Perhaps the most re-cent example exists in the form of defenceman Cale Fleury, the 2014-15 Alpine Toyota Rookie of the Year and Rocky Mountain Diesel Scho-lastic Player of the Year.
Fleury, a native of Calgary, was a fourth-round pick, 78th overall, at the 2013 WHL Ban-tam Draft.
If you go deeper in time and deeper into the draft, you’ll find the likes of well-tenured Kootenay Ice, including Jon Martin (2010, sev-enth round, 135th over-all; 246 WHL games), Jagger Dirk (2008, 11th round, 235th overall; 310 WHL games) and Ryan Russell (2002, 11th round, 204th overall; 263 WHL games) just to name a few.
“Because of the age of these players, they al-ways develop and ma-ture at different stages of their hockey life,” Chynoweth said. “That big guy sometimes takes longer to develop. It takes a lot for our scouts to see that. That’s a good scout to project that player down the road.
“Having the experi-ence and having gone through like a lot of members of our [scout-ing] staff have, you’re hoping that, in the long run, that sixth-rounder might be as good as your second-rounder.”
Each of the WHL’s 22 member clubs has the opportunity to replenish its system with graduat-ing bantam-aged players (born in 2000) through Thursday’s draft.
“It’s a big day. I al-ways say the two most
important days are ban-tam draft day and sched-ule day,” Chynoweth said. “It’s a very import-ant day for our organiza-tion as it is for every other team in the league.”
Coverage of the first round of the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft can be found streaming live online at whl.ca Thurs-day morning beginning at 8:30 a.m. (Mountain).
Players eligible for the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft include 2000-born play-ers who reside in Alber-ta, B.C., Manitoba, Sas-katchewan, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Alas-ka, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Ne-vada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklaho-ma, Oregon, South Da-kota, Texas, Utah, Wash-ington or Wyoming.
Mendel to join Vees2014 first-rounder committed to BCHL Penticton for 2015-16
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
With a significant roster overhaul set to hit the Kootenay Ice heading into the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season, the team will need to go about retooling without the ser-vices of 2014 first-round selection Griffin Mendel.
According to Jeff Chynoweth, Koo-tenay Ice president and general man-ager, Mendel has committed his ser-vices to the Penticton Vees of the BCHL (Junior A) for the 2015-16 campaign.
“It’s tough, but every player has choices to make,” Chynoweth said Tuesday. “Griffin, his family and his advisors have made that [decision] for his 16-year-old season. They haven’t closed the door moving forward.
“From our end, we’ll recruit ac-cordingly. It’s always tough to recover from [losing] any player like that. But you’ve still got to prove yourself in the Western Hockey League. Most coach-es don’t care what round you’re draft-ed in. They want the best players.”
Mendel, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound de-fenceman from Kelowna, spent the
2014-15 season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy after being selected by the Ice with the 11th-overall pick of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft.
He stood as a strong candidate to join the Kootenay Ice blue line this coming season, with defencemen Tan-ner Faith, Lenny Hackman, Tyler King and Tanner Lishchynsky caught in the 20-year-old squeeze, in addition to 1995-born Rinat Valiev who will likely graduate to the pro ranks within the Toronto Maple Leafs organization.
WHL clubs are only permitted to carry three 20-year-olds.
Outside of five 1995-born defence-men, the Ice retain five 20-year-old forwards (Ryan Chynoweth, Jon Mar-tin, Luke Philp, Jaedon Descheneau, Sam Reinhart) and 1995-born goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin.
With Valiev and Reinhart set to go pro, that leaves three over-age slots for nine others to compete for as the ros-ter currently stands.
The 16-year-old Mendel sipped his first cup of Junior A coffee by getting into a pair of games with the Vees during the 2014-15 season, notching two penalty minutes.
Taylor rocc aThe Kootenay Ice
head towards the 2015-16 WHL campaign with an overload of 1995-born, over-age players, and it’s a problem plagu-ing teams right across the league.
“We’re facing a prob-lem like most teams in the Western Hockey League,” said Jeff Chynoweth, Kootenay Ice president and gener-al manager, Tuesday. “There’s an abundance of 1995-born players available and most teams are already set with what they have.
“It’s going to be a tough age group to move.”
With 11 over-age
players on the roster heading into the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft Thursday, Chynoweth hopes to find a return on some of his impending 20-year-olds, but isn’t holding his breath.
During 2014-15, no team in the WHL de-ployed more 1995s than Chynoweth’s outfit.
Defencemen Tanner Faith, Lenny Hackman, Tyler King, Tanner Lish-chynsky and Rinat Valiev join forwards Ryan Chynoweth, Jon Martin, Luke Philp, Jaedon De-scheneau and Sam Rein-hart, as well as goalten-der Wyatt Hoflin, in the 1995-born age group.
Reinhart and Valiev will likely turn pro, and
Faith and Descheneau stand to do the same, should they be offered contracts from their re-spective NHL clubs.
Even if all four move on, that still leaves seven players competing for a total of three 20-year-old slots.
“It’s going to be tough, but if we can make the right deal and give us some prospects and some good picks, we’ll consider doing that this week,” Chynoweth said. “But I don’t expect that to happen.
“As good as our 20-year-olds are -- I think they’re very good hockey players -- there’s a lot of teams that are in the same boat.”
Based upon regu-lar-season active rosters according to the WHL website, a total of 150 players born in 1995 suited up at some point during the 2014-15 sea-son. That’s an average of 6.8 players per team, but considering you can’t split a player into frac-tions, we’ll call it an av-erage of seven 1995-born players per squad.
With a total of 689 players listed on WHL rosters at some point, the 150 soon-to-be over-agers accounted for 21.8 per cent of all players in the league last season.
That’s a number far too big to simply redis-tribute across the league.
There will be a num-
ber of 1995-born players graduate from the WHL and on to the pro ranks, while some will fall back to Junior A clubs, but that won’t necessarily be enough to free up op-
portunities for 1995s be-fore training camp.
With all 22 of the WHL’s member clubs congregating in Calgary for the 2015 WHL Awards Wednesday and
2015 WHL Bantam Draft Thursday, there’s no better time for trade talks and negotiations.
Whether that brings a flurry of movement re-mains to be seen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be more driven than you realize. With a group of friends, you will see how driven you all are to arrive at a common goal. In fact, others might be tak-en aback by your insistence. You know what is happening, and you have an agenda. Tonight: Hang with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension builds as you try to field some curve balls. You also could decide to eliminate a responsi-bility that seems overwhelming. Others might have a similar response, therefore delegating it could be most difficult. Curb spending if possible. Tonight: In the limelight. BORN TODAY Actor George Clooney (1961), baseball player Willie Mays (1931), neurologist Sigmund Freud (1856)
Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 30 years. Before we met, I coerced a woman into having sex. I did not use physical force, but she did not give consent. By today’s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape. I have never told anyone about this, and there is little chance that we will ever encounter this woman. So my wife will never find out. Do I owe it to her to tell her? I believe that to do so could cause serious harm to our marriage. -- Anonymous and Conflicted Dear Anonymous: Society is much more sensitive these days (and rightly so) to instances of sex without consent, e.g., when the woman is drunk or when someone in a position of authority takes advantage of a subordinate. We are glad that this has been bothering you for 30 years. It shows that you have remorse. Ideally, you would tell your wife and have her support when you voluntari-ly go to the police, but you don’t seem likely to do that. You can discuss this with your clergyperson or a therapist, although depending on the particulars of the date rape and the state in which it happened, there may be mandatory reporting laws, as well as no statute of limitations on the crime. (For infor-mation on these laws, contact RAINN at rainn.org, or see a lawyer.) A thera-pist also could help you decide how to broach the subject with your wife. Is there a way to apologize to the vic-tim? This can be more healing than you know, for both of you. You might also contribute to an organization for rape victims. These things don’t at all make up for what you did, but they are a step in the right direction and better than doing nothing. Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters about bridal showers and baby showers and other occasions where gifts are given. Let me ask these young women who expect their family members to give gifts for every one of these events: Do you ever give your grandparents a birthday present? Do you ever send the great-aunts a Christmas card? When your uncle is ill, do you send flowers or a get-well card? Life is not about how many gifts you can get. These young men and women should count the number of gifts they have received from their grandparents, aunts, uncles and other close friends and family members since their high school graduations and then consider what they have given in return. -- Tired of the Gimme Generation Dear Tired: Amen. Too often the re-cipients of largesse think the gravy train only runs in one direction and they don’t need to show similar consider-ation to an older generation. But what relative wouldn’t be thrilled to get a birthday card from a great-niece or a holiday card from a grandchild without prompting? If you have older relatives or friends and have never thought about send-ing them a card or a gift or making a phone call on their special days, please remember all of the considerate things they have done for you over the years, and ask yourself how you could express similar kindness.

On April 27, 2015, Doris passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 97 years.
She was born Gwendoline Doris Temple on November 8, 1917 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the second daughter of the late Leah Ellen and James Edward Temple. Doris was the beloved wife of the late
David Ironside Pyle for 60 years. The two of them loved to snowshoe, hike, canoe, camp and garden together. Doris was blessed with good health her entire life and at the age of 50, got her drivers licence when she enthusiastically took up golf.
Retiring to Cranbrook, BC, Doris and Dave enjoyed a wonderful friendship with John and Sally Flowers. When Dave passed, Doris moved to the Churchill Retirement Residence, Edmonton, where she met her second husband, the late Clifford Schweitzberg. Both in their 80’s, they enjoyed seven years together, dancing, travelling and watching old movies.
Doris will be greatly missed by her children, Joanne (Larry) Pollock, Shirley Al (Jon Warland) and Bill (Anita) Pyle; her grandchildren, Stacey (Graham) Drexel and Jeff (Michelle) Pollock and her great-grandchildren, Mathew, Christina and Addison. Doris was predeceased by her two husbands, her grandson, Joey Reader; her parents; her siblings, Ruth Renton, Barry Temple and Grace Gorrie.
The family would like to thank the staff at Laurier House Lynnwood for taking such good care of Doris these past five months, especially her “girls.”
At Doris’s request, there will be no funeral. A private family gathering will be held at a future date to celebrate Doris’s well lived life. She was loved.

Irene Jarrett 1920 – 2015
Irene was born on January 29, 1920 in Atherton, Lancashire, England. She came to Canada with her parents Gladys and Joe Shaw as an infant, and arrived here in 1925. She had great memories of the years at Top Mine; such sunny incidents as being awakened one morning by the squeaks of an animal in trouble right with them in
the tent. After searching for some time they found the squirrel trapped in one of the coils of the bed spring.Irene and Doug were married in 1940 in the United Church manse. St Andrew’s did not have their own minister at the time but were supplied by the Cranbrook church. They had two boys, Danny and Darryl. Both were baptized in St. Andrew’s. In 1976 Darryl died suddenly and in 1983 Doug died after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her son Danny who lives in Kimberley and is involved with Mark Creek Market; 3 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren.Church work was always a central place in Irene’s life; as a teen, a young mother and in later years. She had been involved in many ways as a; teacher, superintendent of the Sunday School, Women’s groups, Church treasurer, Camp Wasa leader and director and Vacation Bible School. She would tell of how she was so busy doing things she thought she should for God that she left God out of her life. She made herself the focal point. She taught Sunday School curriculum and never knew God was a personal God. She began to feel there must be something else. God was saying to her, “you haven’t found what you are seeking by works” but she was too busy to hear Him. But things began to happen in her life. She experienced a kind of “burnout” and so she withdrew from some of her activities. Then her son died unexpectedly and she rebelled against God. But it was through this testing that she found God. She hurt so badly – she reached out to God and He was there! He had always been there. It was at this point she accepted Jesus as her personal Saviour. When her husband died, her faith in Jesus who was with her all the time, kept her from another rebellion and carried her through another testing time. She learned that it is not what you do for God that is important but your personal relationship with Him. To God be the Glory.A memorial service for Irene will be held on Sunday, May 10, 2015 at 1:00 pm at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kimberley.

The grade five class from St. Mary’s School made a quadruple batch of spaghetti sauce and on April 29 they presented the sauce to Captain Linda of the Salvation Army and Tara Fiedler-Graham of Street Angels. The students also donated dry pasta and fix-ings to make a delicious spaghetti dinner for those in need in our community. Both Captain Linda and Tara spoke to the students about how important it is to get involved in the community by donating time and food to programs like the Salvation Army and Street Angels. The grade fives learned a lot about the extensive network of community programs in Cranbrook that provide for families in need.
