Eritrean refugee arrives in Cranbrook

TRE VOR CR AWLEYScanning the faces in the crowd of pas-

sengers heading into the arrival section of the Canadian Rockies International Airport, a local family began to wonder if their friend had missed his flight.

However, smiles broke out as one of the last travellers, a young man, descended

down the stairs to make his way into the building.

His name is Nahom Teklemichael and he is a refugee from Eritrea.

After a long journey from South Sudan in Africa, Teklemichael arrived in Vancouver on Wednesday and into Cranbrook on Thursday where he will begin a new life in Canada.

Just in time for his 22nd birthday on Mon-day.

Teklemichael was sponsored by East Koo-tenay Friends of Burma, and while he isn’t

from the small Southeast Asia country of the same name, he has a personal connection with some local volunteers with the group.

Kim Eaton and Barb Ryeburn were in Er-itrea—a small country in the Horn of Africa—volunteering as teachers in the mid-2000s where they met Teklemichael, who became close friends with their oldest son, Lukas. They’ve remained in contact ever since that trip—including through Teklemichael’s ex-perience fleeing Eritrea for South Sudan.

Recently, the EK Friends of Burma was

able to secure sponsorship to bring him over to Canada. Now, he will be living with the same family who befriended him in his home country so many years ago.

Now that Teklemichael is here in Cran-brook, the EK Friends of Burma will be there to help him settle into a new life.

“We’re excited, but we’re scrambling,” said Ryeburn. “We need to get supports in place. We need to find him a job, he probably wants to go to school as well.

Tre vor Cr awleyThe addition of two

provincial ridings is being recommended as a preliminary report was submitted to the Legis-lature from the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission on Thurs-day.

The creation of two new ridings will be in the Lower Mainland, however, a number of proposed tweaks were made to boundaries across the province.

The report, authored by Justice Tom Melnick, Beverley Busson and Dr. Keith Archer, can be viewed online and is open for public feed-back. Following a two-month period, the re-port will to the legisla-ture for review before a final report is written and approved by the province.

The commission, which is guided by the legislation contained within the Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion Act, added two rid-ings to the Lower Main-land, but maintained the same number of rid-ings in the electoral areas of North Region, the Cariboo-Thompson Region, and the Colum-bia-Kootenay Region.

The Electoral Bound-aries Commission Act stipulates that the North Region must contain eight ridings, Cari-boo-Thompson Region must have five, and Co-lumbia-Kootenay Re-gion must have four.

“This has, of course, influenced in large mea-sure our ability to pro-pose electoral districts that are equal in popu-lation,” said the report. “It has also influenced our decision to propose 87 electoral districts, an increase of two from the current number, and the maximum allowable by the Electoral Boundar-ies Commission Act.

“Further to these two additional electoral dis-tricts, we propose changes to 49 of the cur-rent 85 districts. Most of the changes are relative-ly minor. Substantial changes are proposed in the Lower Mainland, particularly in Rich-mond and Surrey where we added a district to each community.”

One relevant pro-posed change to the Kootenay East riding is including rural resi-dents on the east side of the Kootenay River be-tween Fort Steele and Wardner.

Report recommends tweaks to riding boundariesCurrently the Koote-

nay River serves as the boundary and residents out in Bull River area are a part of the Columbia River Revelstoke riding.

When the commis-sion came to Cranbrook for public feedback, Wardner resident Jenny Byford brought up the concern that students in Bull River are going to school in Cranbrook — which is in the Kootenay East riding — even though they’re living in a different electoral area.

“Students from Wardner on the west bank and Bull River and Fort Steele on the east bank attend the same secondary school in Cranbrook,” reads the report. “However, as Wardner is in Kootenay East and Bull River and Fort Steele are in Co-lumbia River-Revel-stoke, young people in this area don’t have a shared political experi-ence and some believed this led them to be less likely to participate in the electoral process.”

The boundary was slightly modified to in-clude parts of the east side of the Kootenay River, including the hamlet of Bull River, as it continues up north to Height of the Rockies Provincial Park.

“By using the East Kootenay Regional Dis-trict Electoral Area C and the Southeast Koo-tenay School District boundary in this area, these towns east of Cranbrook will be in-cluded in the same elec-toral district (Kootenay East),” said the report. “Following this bound-ary also has the effect of moving a small area around the airport west of Cranbrook into Koo-tenay East from Colum-bia River-Revelstoke. “While these changes affect only a small num-ber of people, it will pro-vide more effective rep-resentation for these communities.”

Those changes to the Kootenay East riding af-fect the border of the Columbia-River Revel-stoke riding, but those are the only changes to the latter district.

From page 1“There’s a lot of set-

tling in we need to do and we’re always look-ing for people who are interested in getting in-volved as volunteers to help out.

“Donating clothes, donating funds—be-cause we’re responsi-ble for his costs for a year—also just to meet him, befriend him.”

While Ryeburn and the EK Friends of Burma have sponsored many individuals and families for relocation in the region, the arriv-al of Teklemichael is special because of their relationship when Rye-burn was volunteering in Eritrea with her fam-ily in 2005.

Eritrea has official languages of Arabic and English, but also use a dialect known as Tigrigna, which is spo-ken by much of the local population.

While their son, Lukas, was attending school, the family learned that his teach-er had instructed the rest of the class to treat him like an outcast.

“Lukas learned from Nahom that the teach-er had spoken to all the students in the class and said, ‘Shun this boy, don’t befriend him, treat him badly, he’s a foreigner’,” Rye-burn said. “…he was trying to sell this to the students in the class and Nahom spoke up, which was really brave of him and in the end, the teacher failed him.

“Nahom’s a smart boy, he didn’t deserve to fail, but the teacher did that because he spoke up to defend Lukas.”

Ryeburn and the family left Eritrea in 2007 but remained in contact with Teklemi-chael and his parents, who were well-known and celebrated across the country for their ef-forts fighting for inde-pendence from Ethio-pia back in 1993.

However, Ryeburn said the government ended up persecuting the family and took their business which was a catalyst for Tekle-michael’s eventual de-sire to flee the country.

In addition to the persecution, all Grade 12 students must com-

plete a year of obligatory military training in a fa-cility near Sawa, which is an environment ram-pant with all sorts of abuse.

“A lot of people we meet, they flee when they can, especially to avoid Sawa, because it’s extremely hard on them,” said Ryeburn.

Though the group operates as EK Friends of Burma, don’t be con-fused by thinking that they only help Burmese refugees. The group, which has volunteers across a broad region including Rossland, Fernie and Calgary, has also sponsored refugees from Columbia and Pal-

estine.For more informa-

tion on the East Koote-nay Friends of Burma, or to wish Teklemichael a happy birthday, give Ryeburn a call at 250-426-6559.

Letters to the editorarts and Culture

“I support the arts and culture” be-came a well-worn phrase during Cran-brook’s municipal election in the fall of 2014. The first real test of that “support” is now in front of our recently elected Mayor and Council.

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) want to turn historic Fire Hall No. 1 into a vibrant new home for Arts and Culture, which would also continue the revitalization of our down-town. Our newly elected municipal gov-ernment has a great opportunity to make this happen. How?

Take the notion of selling the Fire Hall off the table. This is an important piece of our history and our culture — it should remain as a public building.

Lease the Fire Hall to the CDAC and structure the lease so that if the Arts Council ever becomes insolvent, the building and all of the improvements re-turn to the city without any compensa-tion. A new roof, improved access for those with disabilities, and a greatly im-proved interior are not future liabilities for taxpayers.

If there are deficiencies in the CDAC’s Business Plan, have city staff work with them to correct the deficiencies and im-prove the Plan. This is common practice and demonstrates a partnership ap-proach to improving our community. Improve proponent’s proposals is an im-portant role for staff.

Include funding in the 5 Year Finan-cial Plan to support the CDAC and their efforts to secure a long-term home. This demonstrates to potential grant funders and donors that Cranbrook really does support the arts. As a community we have borrowed and invested millions of dollars in recreation facilities to support healthy bodies. There is much to be said for investing in supporting creativity and healthy souls.

There are hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants available in support of arts and culture. If that money doesn’t come to Cranbrook it will go to other communities. Having it come here sup-ports our economy at no additional cost to local taxpayers.

There is a real opportunity here to ensure that “I support arts and culture” aren’t just hollow words …

Wayne StetskiCranbrook

dragged into conflictIn 2003, Stephen Harper wrote a ser-

vile letter to the Wall Street Journal, apol-ogising to the Americans because the Canadian government of the day had re-fused to become embroiled in the Bush/Blair War in Iraq. Twelve years later, he

has achieved his ambition: to play Ste-phen the Lionheart, Crusader.

He talks transparency, but misled Parliament in October 2014 about Cana-da’s engagement in the Middle East. He preaches law and order, but has broken international law. Saudi Arabia, flogger of bloggers and beheader of witches, is now Harper’s comrade-in-arms.

He has shown an appalling ignorance of the riptides and cross currents of cen-turies-old, tribal, religious and territorial conflicts stretching from Peshawar to Aleppo.

He cannot support Syrian president Assad against Sunni Muslim ISIS be-cause Iran-backed Assad, a Shia Alawite Muslim, is an enemy of Sunni Saudi Arabia. He cannot support the opposi-tion to Assad because it is aligned with al-Qaeda. He cannot support the an-ti-ISIS Shia militias in Iraq because they are subsidised by Shia Iran, the religious adversary of the Saudis, to whom Harper just happens to be selling $15 billion worth of armaments.

It all seems very complex, but appar-ently not for our prime minister. With a blinkered, biblical certainty — and an eye to October’s federal election — he has dragged us into a conflict with 20,000 religious fanatics who are proxies in the Iran-Saudi Arabia power struggle and who have simply filled the geo-strategic power vacuum created by the Bush/Blair War of 2003: 500,000 Iraqi men, women and children dead since then, and the Iraqi nation’s total degradation, a human catastrophe for which Harper has given his tacit, but unequivocal, support.

In the last analysis, he has led Canada into a war which is, in reality, Harper’s personal crusade; which has no credible or legal justification; which is unafford-able; which is constantly changing and has already escalated; which has neither well-defined objectives, nor boundaries, nor exit strategy.

And for which there is no end in sight.

eK boy and proudIn 1981 I moved to Kimberley for two

years. So much for that plan! This whole region’s co-operative spirit from sports to arts to aid here and abroad stimulates best-of-the-best from us. A wellspring of ‘inspired duty’ fuels the work of our agencies big and small, from Lions and Rotary to Wildsight to local food banks to museums and libraries. Linked with strong examples, I offer them to prepare a request and an idea.

The East Kootenay Music Teachers Association, alone among two dozen branches of B.C. REGISTERED Music Teachers, draws any and all keen teach-

ers — not just “innies” with formal cre-dentials. Not using whose-student-wins-what to compete (believe me, it’s com-mon elsewhere), we create enriching programs for us and our students in a supportive community.

For hundreds of the world’s trauma-tized refugees, sponsor groups from Golden to Creston have given a superb welcome to Canada — far more inclusive than the usual big-city experience. A vis-iting Immigration officer pointed in awe at our off-the-charts refugee record, by far the top among B.C. regions. A main instigator for much of it, Shauna Jimenez, lives in massive metropolitan Wasa! The Cambodia Support Group has had direc-tors from Golden, Wasa, Cranbrook, Kimberley and elsewhere; and many community or church groups have their own great records of success.

As a musician and arts promoter I’ve been active in Fernie, Sparwood, Jaffray, Cranbrook, Lister, Creston, Kimberley, Wasa, Fort Steele, Invermere, Edgewater, Golden … Most recently I was the pianist for a show about local history in Inver-mere — where Pat Morrow, past-Kim-berley man and Mount Everest victor, now lives. We burst with pride as our heroes tote the Stanley Cup to the peak of splendour, top the world in physical excellence, and celebrate the ABLE in disabled (I mean you, Gerry and Annie Johnston.)

I’m based in Kimberley but a happy, proud and inspired East Kootenay resi-dent. Request: Let Calgary and Edmon-ton have big-city-Alberta rivalries. Let’s not, please, fall into those traps! For every toxic pit in one of our towns there’s a salvage yard in another; but they no more define our value than did an ap-pendectory scar define Marilyn Mon-roe’s true worth.

Idea: Scott Joplin was the King of Rag-time! At its heyday c. 1893-1917, many E.K. towns were in intense growth spurts. For 2017, the centenary of Joplin’s death, let’s create region-wide what no big city could have - a Super-Festival with each centre doing its own thing (C’mon Yahk! C’mon Edgewater!) and interlinked to draw people from far and wide.

Like the narrow point of the hour-glass, Ragtime drew many European and African influences into a focused, de-fineable style that spread out to influ-ence even today’s music. I’ll anchor a Regional Rag Fest if people will get be-hind it; we could promote not just music but lifestyle, local history, science and schooling - you name it. For now, please e-mail ekrag@hotmail.com to state your interest.

Let’s be what we are — a great region full of wonderful places to live and visit, supporting each other as only we can.

T he Sunni Arab countries that started bombing Yemen on Wednesday night last week seem to think they

are fighting an Iranian-backed plot to ex-pand Shia power and influence in the Arab world. Most other countries find that hard to believe, but even if the Sunni countries are right, wars often have unintended con-sequences. This military in-tervention is likely to have results that Saudi Arabia and its friends don’t like one bit.

They’ve all shown up for this war. Saudi Arabia and the other monarchies of the Arab world (Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and even Morocco) have all committed aircraft to bombing Yemen. Egypt, Jordan, Sudan and Pakistan have offered to send ground troops. And the United States (which just pulled the last American troops out of Yemen) promises to provide “logistical and intelligence sup-port.”

In practice, however, this coalition of Sunni Arabs and Americans is unlikely to commit large numbers of ground troops to Yemen: the country has been the grave-yard of foreign armies from the Romans to the Ottomans. But if they don’t do that, the (entirely unintended) result of their bomb-ing may be to facilitate the take-over of most of Yemen by al-Qaeda and/or ISIS.

Sunni paranoia about the rise of Shia power has its roots in the American inva-sion of Iraq in 2003. So long as the Sunni minority ruled Iraq, it limited the influence of Iran, the paramount Shia power, in the Arab world. With the US overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the destruction of Sunni supremacy in Iraq, Iran’s power au-tomatically soared — and so did its influ-

ence in Shia parts of the Arab world.Iran didn’t have to do anything partic-

ularly aggressive for paranoia to take off in the Sunni countries of the Gulf. Of the 140 million citizens of countries that border on the Persian/Arabian Gulf, about two-thirds are Shias. With a Shia-dominated government in Baghdad, Saudi Arabia and

the smaller Sunni Arab monarchies felt terribly ex-posed and began to see Shia plots everywhere.

They see such a plot now in Yemen. The Houthi mili-tia, drawn from the warlike Shia tribes of northern Yemen, have taken control

of all the country’s big cities and most of its thickly populated agricultural heartland in less than one year. This is not actually all that rare an event in Yemeni history, and it never required help from Iran before, but now the hand of Iran is suspected every-where.

That’s why Sunni countries from all over the Arab world piled in so readily. They really believe they are fighting the Iranian bogeyman, although there is al-most no evidence of direct Iranian support for the Houthis. (Nor is it easy to think of any strategic reason why Iran would be interested in Yemen.)

The historical pattern is that these peri-odic conquests of the country by the north-ern tribes usually recede again after a while, because Shias are only a third of the population and the northern tribes who provide the manpower for the Houthi mil-ita are only a fraction of the Shias. But this time nobody is willing to wait for the local Sunni backlash in Houthi-occupied parts of Yemen to push the northerners out.

The “coalition” is now bombing the Houthis all over the country. How inten-

sively and how accurately remains to be seen, but if they really succeed in breaking the Houthi grip on central and southern Yemen, they will create a power vacuum that will NOT be filled by the “legitimate” president of Yemen, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, whom they are allegedly trying to restore to power.

Hadi’s forces have utterly disintegrated, and Houthi fighters now occupy the tem-porary capital that he established in his home city, Aden. (The real capital, Sanaa, has been in Houthi hands since Septem-ber.) Hadi left Aden by boat on Tuesday, which suggests that he has left the country entirely — unless he plans to create anoth-er provisional capital on, say, the island of Socotra.

So if the coalition bombs the Houthis out of Aden, but does not commit ground troops of its own, the real winners will be the al-Qaeda forces that wait just outside the city. Much the same goes for Taiz, the third city, and even for Sanaa itself: it is al-Qaeda or ISIS jihadis who stand to prof-it most from a Houthi retreat.

The only other force in Yemen that could offer any opposition to the jihadis is the fighters who have rallied to the support of exiled ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh since he returned to the country. But Saleh is allied to the Houthis and he is a Shia himself, so it’s hard to see the coalition switching its support from Hadi to him.

Yet it’s also hard to see the coalition committing a big army to Yemen. Every-body who has done that has regretted it. So while Sunni planes bomb Shia fighters, the jihadis may step in and sweep the board. An unintended outcome, of course, but not an unforeseeable one.

game #2 summary

All squared up: Ice, Hitmen series tied at 1-1tre vOr cr awley

Townsman Staff

Adam Tambellini was the overtime hero, saving the Calgary Hitmen from a potential two-game deficit on Sunday after-noon.

Tambellini managed to beat Kootenay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin glove side while down low in the face-off circle to end the second game of the series between the two teams at 3-2.

Earlier, on Friday eve-ning, the Ice came out and stunned the Hitmen 4-3 in their own building to pick up the first win of the seven-game series.

Tambellini’s OT marker came after the two teams battled each other to a 2-2 tie over three periods of tight, in-tense hockey.

Sam Reinhart picked up his first goal of the playoffs, while Jaedon Descheneau potted his

second. Calgary scoring was also provided by Pavel Karnaukhov, who notched a pair over the course of the game.

Hoflin made 30 saves during the game, includ-ing five stops in OT, while Brendan Burke and Mack Shields shared goaltending duties for the Hitmen, collectively making 35 saves.

Despite the loss on Sunday, Ice head coach Ryan McGill was happy

with the effort from his team and said the game could’ve gone either way.

“I loved our competi-tive level. I think it’s easy for these kids to think that we got a game, we’re okay with the split,” said McGill.

“[But] I thought our competitive level in the second period was real good. Throughout the whole game, I thought it was good because it’s easy to say we got a game and lets just get back home.

“Our guys did a good job, we were right there.”

After a scoreless first period, Calgary jumped to the lead when Kar-naukhov scored a pow-erplay goal, jumping on a juicy rebound on his backhand.

However, the Ice struck twice late in the frame in quick succes-sion, as Reinhart notched his first of the 2015 post-season campaign, tipping a shot from D-man Rinat Valiev. De-scheneau followed up minutes later, scoring after toe-dragging a Cal-gary defenceman and sneaking a shot under-neath the arm of Burke.

Opening up the third period, Hitmen coach Mark French—in an un-expected move—re-placed Burke with Mack Shields, who went un-beaten in 19 shots for the rest of the frame and OT.

At the 9:29 mark, Kar-naukhov got his second of the night, finishing a backdoor play from Radel Fazleev that evened up the affair.

Despite outshooting Calgary 11-6 in OT, it was Tambellini’s effort that proved to be the game-winner.

Earlier, on Friday eve-ning, the Ice got a four-goal effort—including a pair from Luke Philp, to steal the first win of the series at 4-3.

Jaedon Descheneau netted the game winner on a shorthanded goal, while Tyler King round-ed out the scoring for the Ice.

Jake Bean, Kenton Helgesen and Connor Rankin replied for the Hitmen.

Hoflin stood between the pipes, turning away 29 shots for the win, with

Hitmen’s Burke making 27 saves in defeat.

Kootenay won the special teams battle, scoring once in three op-portunities with the man-advantage, while only giving up one goal on the penalty kill and adding a shorthanded effort to the scoresheet.

While Kootenay got the lead early on Friday, and never played from behind, the Ice had to play catch up on Sunday, coming back from an early one-goal deficit.

McGill said getting a lead is always good, but battling back from be-hind shows character.

“That’s important, but also the fact that they scored the first goal to-night [Sunday], I thought was really good of our team to come back and score again, obviously real quick, two goals real quick to get the lead going into the third,” said McGill. “It shows a lot about our team and the fact that we can play with a lead or without a lead.”

With some good early pressure, the Hitmen kept the Ice busy in their own zone for the open-ing five minutes or so.

However, when the Ice got their first real scoring opportunity, they made no mistake, with Philp putting home a rebound off a shot from Descheneau at the top of the face-off circle.

Seven minutes later, on Kootenay’s first pow-erplay, Philp teed up King at the blueline, who blasted a slap shot past Burke.

In the dying seconds of the period with a pow-erplay of their own, the Hitmen escaped with a one-goal deficit as Bean took a cross-ice feed and snuck a short-side shot past Hoflin.

After a furious sec-ond-period start from the Ice that included at least three quality scor-ing chances, the Hitmen were able to tie up the game as Helgesen slid a backhander past Hoflin after Radel Fazleev dan-gled around in the Koo-tenay zone.

But the Ice jumped ahead again with 2:43 re-maining in the frame, and it was none other than Philp who banged home a slick behind the net feed from Matt Alfa-ro.

With Ryan

Chynoweth in the box in the third period, Tanner Lishchynsky got the puck to Austin Vetterl in the neutral zone, who skated in on a shorthanded odd-man rush with De-scheneau. Vetterl slid the puck over and Desche-neau slid it past Burke for a two-goal lead.

With 10 minutes re-maining in the game, the Hitmen scrambled for a response and got one three minutes later when took advantage of a de-fensive zone turnover and beat Hoflin from the high slot.

Though Burke head-ed to the bench with just under a minute left in the game, the Ice held off the Hitmen in the dying sec-onds to claim the open-ing win.

Last year, the Ice over-came the Hitmen in the first round of the playoffs in six games, but that—according to McGill—is ancient history.

“We don’t bring any lessons from last year, we bring lessons from the last month and a half of the regular season,” said McGill.

The Ice host Game 3 on Tuesday evening at Western Financial Place.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The last time the KIJHL championship found a home in Kimberley, there wasn’t a single player on the 2014-15 Kimberley Dynamiters around to see it.

After 35 long years, the KIJHL title is return-ing to the Kimberley Civic Centre as the Kim-berley Dynamiters skat-ed to a 5-1 victory to clinch the champion-ship banner in Game 6 at McArthur Park Arena in Kamloops Sunday night.

“I am absolutely thrilled for this group of guys. They’re a great group on and off the ice,” said Kimberley Dyna-miters head coach Jerry Bancks Sunday night. “I’ve known some of these kids since they were in diapers. I know what they’ve put into it and they’ve had ups and downs in their hockey lives. It’s so nice they came together and they’ll have a memory [like this] for the rest of their lives.

“We only hope we can carry on from here and create some more memories.”

Trevor Van Steinburg scored two goals in Game 6, forward Eric Buckley registered the game-winning tally and goaltender Tyson Brou-wer steered away 35 shots to backstop his team.

“I’ve never won something this big be-fore,” Van Steinburg said. “It’s a huge, excit-ing moment. I’m speechless. So happy to be spending it with these boys.

“We battle harder than anyone. We had a game plan from the start and we picked up a few guys in the new year. We all bought it. It’s huge.”

Winning in Kam-loops wasn’t an easy task for the Dynamiters — in fact, Game 6 was the only game in the KIJHL championship in which the visitors came out on top at McArthur Park Arena.

After claiming a 2-0 series lead on home ice, the Nitros travelled to Kamloops and dropped Games 3 and 4 at McAr-thur Park Arena, before sneaking out a 3-2 dou-ble-overtime victory in front of 1,358 fans back on home ice in Game 5.

With a 3-2 series lead, the Nitros returned to Kamloops intent on tak-ing the KIJHL champi-onship trophy home with them Sunday night.

“Their coach made it pretty obvious we can’t win in this building and that’s pretty good fuel for the fire,” Bancks said. “When you have ath-letes like Jason Richter, Tyler Kinnon and peo-ple like that, it’s a mis-take to tell somebody they can’t do something.

“They were pretty fired up.”

Richter was named player of the game as he registered a goal and an assist.

“You can’t describe it. It’s a great feeling,” Richter said from the ice at McArthur Park Arena. “You’ve got a sense of satisfaction in your mind. You look around the group and realize we gave it all we’ve got. We all love each other and came together as a group.

“We’ve got tons of character. Every guy on this team team could probably wear a letter on any other team…We just have great character and I think that’s what took us this far.”

Special teams were a difference maker in the deciding game of the championship series as the Dynamiters scored twice with the man ad-vantage. Defenceman Justin Meier added a shorthanded, empty-net goal to ice the victory.

Storm captain Felix Larouche was ejected from the game in the second period after in-curring a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for board-ing Nitros forward Brady Revie.

The Dynamiters made good on the ex-tended advantage, as a point shot from defence-man Jordan Busch was redirected by Buckley and found the back of the net to give the visi-tors a 2-1 lead.

Moments after the Larouche major expired, Van Steinburg drove the net and took a pass from Coy Prevost in a play reminiscent of the over-time-winning goal in Game 5. Van Steinburg redirected the feed past a helpless Jacob Mullen to give the visitors a two-goal bulge and all the insurance they needed after 40 minutes.

A back-and-forth first period saw both goal-tenders fall victim to heavy traffic in front.

With Larouche serv-ing the back half of a double-minor for high-sticking, Richter found a little time and snapped a blistering shot over the shoulder of

Mullen to open the scor-ing.

As was the case nu-merous times in this se-ries, the Storm respond-ed on the following shift.

After a scoring chance in front of Brou-wer, the puck came back to Storm defenceman Cameron Trott. The 17-year-old Langley product fired a long floater that found iron before bouncing in past a screened Brouwer to tie the game 38 seconds after Richter opened the scoring.

Unfortunately for the home side, that’s all the offense they were able to muster with their season on the line as Brouwer stood tall and the Kim-berley Dynamiters cruised the rest of the way.

“There’s really no words to describe it,” Brouwer said. “I’m so proud of this group. From when I got here in early August I knew this was going to be a special group. I’m speechless.

“The character on this team is why we got to where we are.”

The last time the KIJHL championship found a home in the halls of the Kimberley Civic Centre it was after the 1980 Kimberley Knights defeated the Trail Smoke Eaters.

For the 2015 KIJHL champion Dynamiters, they had to work their way through an impres-sive line of top-seeded opponents in order to stake out the champion-ship banner.

After knocking off the Creston Valley Thunder-cats in the Eddie Moun-tain Division semifinal, the Nitros rolled through three division champi-ons.

It took six games for the Dynamiters to beat the Fernie Ghostriders — the Eddie Mountain Division’s regular-sea-son champions.

From there, the Ni-tros moved on to ground the Beaver Valley Nite-hawks — the Neil Mur-doch Division’s regu-lar-season champions — in a five-game Koote-nay Conference final.

Lastly, the Nitros weathered the Kam-loops Storm — Doug Birks Division champi-ons — in a six-game KIJHL championship series.

On top of that, each of those division cham-pions were directed by respective divisional coaches of the year — Craig Mohr (Eddie Moutain Division coach

of the year), Terry Jones (Neil Murdoch Division coach of the year) and Ed Patterson (Doug Birks Division coach of the year).

That speaks to job done by Bancks and his entire staff as much as it speaks to play of the

team. For Bancks, who has

been quick to pass credit on to his players all sea-son long, he is just as deserving of recognition for the work he has done to guide this team.

Throughout the post-season run for the

Dynamiters, fan support across town has been a common thread of con-versation and some-thing the players and coaching staff regularly reference.

“It’s phenomenal. The town is alive and excited for these kids

Kimberley Dynamiters are KIJHL Championsand part of it is the amount of time these kids spend in the com-munity,” Bancks said. “They’re not just hockey players. I’m so proud of where they are as young men.”

Fans have an oppor-tunity to meet up with the team, check out the KIJHL championship banner and trophy Monday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The 2015 KIJHL play-off MVP will be an-nounced Monday night at the Civic Centre.

“It’s huge. It carries us when we’re down,” Richter said of the com-munity support. “If we come off a tough loss, we see all the businesses, all the fans, all the families still tweeting about us. They’re still excited and they pick us back up. It means a lot. We have the best fans in the KI. We love it.”

After Monday’s cele-bration, the focus shifts to the Cyclone Taylor Cup.

Representing the KIJHL, the Dynamiters head to Mission for the provincial Junior B championship, which begins April 3.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll be energized and ready to tackle someone who is standing in your way. Allow yourself some freedom in how you approach this situation. Being flexible could become a high priority. Tonight: You are extremely verbal and direct. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can be very direct, but will that serve you well? Perhaps detaching and understanding more of what might be happen-ing with each individual would be better. You will find a solu-tion that works for everyone involved. Tonight: Head home, and buy a treat on the way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel awkward in a dis-cussion that makes you feel out of sorts. Worry less. Understand that your ability to reach out to this person has not changed -- he or she simply has turned inward. Tonight: Get together with a friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Sometimes you become pos-sessive. Security has always been a primary concern for you. Ask yourself what it will take to make you feel safer and more confident. You might need to have a discussion with several people who know you well. To-night: Pay bills first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll realize that you are on a very expansive and fortunate path. Stop for a moment and look at everything that has oc-curred in recent months. Is there an area of your life that you might want to change? Start putting more energy there. Tonight: Respond to someone’s call. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t push yourself too hard. You might be irritated about the fact that you aren’t getting the information you want. Resist causing an argument; you can get the same information from someone else. Tonight: Take a step back, and observe what’s happening around you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can’t always make ev-

eryone happy, but you have a tendency to try hard to do so. Trying to be a ray of sunshine is natural, but it is not your job to make others happy. Trust that you have the wherewithal to handle any issue. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take charge of a matter that affects others, and they will appreciate your efforts. Try not to be too demanding! The unex-pected could throw your sched-ule into chaos. Relax, and let go of any controlling instincts for now. Tonight: A must appear-ance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow yourself to see the big picture, even if an issue triggers you. Do whatever you need to do in order to avoid letting let a situation control you. You have the power and strength to ride out this matter. Your inner strength and discipline will emerge. Tonight: Relax to a good movie. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with someone directly, rather than push others away.

Not everyone understands the issues you are dealing with, nor do they need to. However, hav-ing a confidant might be im-portant, as you’ll need someone to bounce ideas off of. Tonight: Togetherness works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and gain a bet-ter sense of direction through active conversation with a partner. You might realize that you’re not as dependent as you had thought you were. Listen to a dear friend’s suggestion, and everything will work out. To-night: Say “yes” to an invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Without much effort, you seem to have put yourself in a pivot-al position. Stay levelheaded when dealing with key people in your life. Aim for what you want in a meeting. A discussion will help others understand your direction. Tonight: Take a hard look at your finances. BORN TODAY Singer Celine Dion (1968), foot-ball player Richard Sherman (1988), musician Eric Clapton (1945)

Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old boy, and I’m too embarrassed to talk to my parents about this. I have been best friends with “Danny” since the first grade. We are like broth-ers. A few weeks ago, Danny and I were at my house, and he said he had some-thing to tell me but was afraid of my re-action. I finally got him to confess that he thinks he is gay and in love with me. I was shocked. He said he wanted to kiss me to see what it was like. I didn’t want to, but agreed to try. We sat on my bed and kissed for about a minute. I wasn’t grossed out by it, but it seemed weird and uncomfortable. When I told him that, he bolted. The next day at school, I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t even look at me. After a few days of this, he finally came by my house. We talked about what happened, and I told him it doesn’t matter that he’s gay, because he is still my best friend. But he said if I can’t be his boyfriend, he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. He said it would hurt too much. I told him I can’t change the fact that I’m straight. He said he hates me and left. I don’t know what I did wrong. Dan-ny won’t even speak to me. I finally worked up the nerve to tell my older brother, who said it’s just like when you get dumped by a girl -- you don’t really want to be friends with her afterward. I can’t accept losing my best friend over this. What can I do to get him back? -- Confused Best Friend Dear Confused: Your brother is prob-ably right that Danny is too hurt to be around you right now. He also may be embarrassed by his admission that he loves you. That made him vulnerable, and he has retreated to protect himself. He also may not know how to behave around you, no matter how accepting you are. He, too, is confused. We suggest you give Danny some space. He needs time to process the re-jection and then decide whether he can still be your friend. Continue to act as normally as possible around him. We hope he eventually can find his way back, but please understand that not all friendships go the distance. Dear Annie: Would you please do everyone a favor by reminding them to keep to the right side on sidewalks, concourses, escalators, etc.? It would improve our ability to go from one place to another. Walking in airports or at sporting events can be very difficult. You have to buck the traffic coming toward you. -- R.M. in PA Dear R.M.: You make an excellent point. When driving, we keep to the right. If we did the same when walking busy streets, concourses and stadiums, etc., we could prevent a lot of pedes-trian accidents. And one more thing: Please don’t hog the sidewalk by walk-ing with six of your friends side-by-side. It’s annoying.

Lillian was born in Dapp, Alberta to Mary and Richard Davies. The family moved to Vancouver in 1938 where Lil attended Little Flower Academy. She graduated from senior high and pursued her nursing career at St. Paul’s Hospital graduating in the class of 1955. In 1953 Lil met Garry, the love of her life. In 1968 Garry and Lil moved with their four girls to Kimberley where they started a business partnership at the Canadian Hotel. Lil went on to become a successful realtor with Lytle Agencies. After retiring from Holmes Realty in 1993 Lil was very active in sports, she loved curling, golf, badminton, and bridge with the girls. Lil was very involved with the community as President of the Chamber of Commerce and volunteered for numerous activities.

In her later years Lillian enjoyed many happy summers at the family cottage at Wasa Lake watching her daughters raise their own families, playing with her grandchildren, and visiting with family and friends. She always loved to look at the Rocky Mountains from the deck, reminiscing with the love of her life, Garry, and friends and family that dropped by. Lillian loved to play a competitive game of bocce. Most of all Lil loved to have fun with all her family and friends, she loved to make people laugh with her quick wit humour.

Lillian is survived by her husband Garry, her daughters Lee (Simon), Cathy, Kim (Brian), Kari (Noelle), her grandchildren Chelsea, Camille, Carling, Lauren, Nolan, her great grandson Matteus, and a large extended family.

A funeral service will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 2:00pm on Wednesday, April 1st, 2015 in Kimberley, BC. Reception to follow at the Catholic Church hall. The family would like to extend an invitation for everyone to join them in celebrating Lil’s life.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the BC Children’s Hospital or the local food bank.
