Each year the Kim-berley RCMP detach-ment, in consultation with community stake-holders, selects policing priorities.

This year’s priorities, based on the Provincial Policing Priorities are Crime Reduction, Orga-nized Crime, Family Vi-olence, Road Safety, and First Nations.

Cpl. Chris Newel, Acting Kimberley De-tachment Commander, visited City Council last week to seek guidance on this year’s priorities.

Council generally agreed with the priori-ties, though it was noted that there were few First Nations issues in Kim-berley.

However, there was a suggestion around road safety.

Councillor Nigel Kitto said he was con-cerned with little police presence at peak traffic hours on the very busy Kimberley Cranbrook corridor of Highway 95A.

Newel explained that the corridor was under the auspices of the East Kootenay Traffic Unit.

However, “I don’t be-lieve we are getting the service on that corridor we should,” Newel said.

Newel is still seeking input on 2015/2016 pri-orities though he said, unless there are local unique issues, the local police priorities should align with these provin-cial priorities.

CRANBROOK - On Sun-day, April 19, 2015, the Wild-fire Management Branch con-ducted an ecosystem resto-ration burn near Cherry Creek in the East Kootenay. Wildfire Management Branch fire crews were monitoring the area again Monday day and extinguishing any hot spots within the fire’s perimeter.

Wildfire Management Branch staff determined that the weather forecast, the vent-ing index and wind direction were all favourable prior to igniting the fire.

Smoke is an inevitable side-effect of burning and as the temperature drops later in the day, smoke tends to settle in valleys. As evidenced from the amount of smoke that was produced on Sunday, there was a significant build-up of forest fuels within the project’s

boundaries. The majority of the smoke seen in Kimberley and surrounding areas dissi-pated within a few hours.

This burn project will help increase biodiversity in the area, improve badger and Lewis’s woodpecker habitat

and expand winter grazing grounds for a variety of ungu-lates.

For the townsman

Springtime Spruce Up Cranbrook is a community clean-up and beautification initiative. Through the effort of many volunteers, we will remove litter and debris from parks, the creek, neighbor-

hoods, streets, schools and public areas including in and around business premises.

All of the schools within the City of Cranbrook have been actively involved in cleaning up their school yards each year with loads of

garbage bags being collected. Several local clubs, organiza-tions, Chamber members, Downtown Business Associ-ation and other citizens have been supportive of this pro-gram.

As part of Cranbrook’ s

Springtime Spruce Up cam-paign, this activity is de-signed to increase participa-tion by encouraging busi-ness owners and citizens to take 20-minutes and spruce up the area around their business or home. Twenty

minutes can make a differ-ence! A clean and litter-free community can attract tour-ism and promote economic activity, as well as encourage a sense of pride amongst cit-izens.

Please help do your part

by registering yourself, your business or organization with Leisure Services as a participant in this year’s Springtime Spruce Up cam-paign. Call 250-489-0220 today and we will provide you with some bags!

Two new vehicle incentive programs were recently introduced with the intention of reducing emissions, and to help B.C. consumers save thousands of dollars while doing so. During the Vancouver International Auto Show last

month, the province unveiled the second phase of its Clean Energy Vehicle for British Columbia (CEVforBC™) Program. As of April 1, Consumers can save up to $5,000 towards the purchase or lease of a new battery electric or plug in electric hybrid vehicle, and up to $6,000 for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. But the potential savings don’t stop there. When combined with newly introduced SCRAP-IT program, total savings could be up to $8,250 for an electric vehicle.

The SCRAP-IT program gives consumers a $3,000 rebate on a qualifying new electric vehicle when they hand in a vehicle from the year 2000 and older. All scrapped vehicles and their components are permanently and properly recycled. (Check out scrap-it.ca for qualifying vehicles.) The province is also earmarking funds to expand the charging and fuelling infrastructure for electric vehicles across the province. Recent statistics released by the provincial government show that traditional fuel-powered vehicles are responsible for 45 percent of B.C.’s household greenhouse gas emissions. A clean energy vehicle would reduce emissions by about 5.6 tonnes per year (with comparison to a 2000 model year or older vehicle). What’s more, compared to a new internal combustion vehicle, a clean energy vehicle reduces emissions by about three tonnes per year.

The provincial government is spending $10.6 million from its Innovative Clean Energy Fund over the next three years on the second phase of the CEVforBC™ program. The money is broken down as follows: • $7.5 million for point-of-sale incentives for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. • $1.59 million for investments in charging infrastructure and hydrogen fuelling infrastructure. • $1 million for incentives for commercial fleet purchases of clean energy vehicles. • $500,000 for research, training, and public education of clean energy transportation technology. As B.C. has the highest per-capita electric vehicle sales and the largest charging infrastructure in Canada, it would only make sense for our province to continue to lead the charge in a market transition to the use of clean energy vehicle technologies.

A recent study from the University of Michigan shows plug-in electric hybrid vehicle owners are “very satisfied” with their purchase and 83 per cent planned to buy another once it’s time to replace their current vehicle. The study also showed that a third of non-owners plan for their next car purchase to be a plug-in electric hybrid. If you’re thinking about a plug-in electric hybrid or electric vehicle, I encourage you to head down to your local auto dealer to get more information and test drive one. You’ll be impressed with the ride, longevity, and how easy they can be to maintain – especially with the new incentives.

As many Kimberley residents are aware, the remaining board members of Kimberley Summer Theatre have been working very hard over the past year and a half to deal with debt left from the 2013 season. They have al-most reached their goal and hope that a good turnout for their next fundrais-er will put them over the top.

That fundraiser is a Spaghetti Din-ner this Thursday and Friday night at Centennial Hall in Kimberley.

The dinner, featuring Shirley Ros-si’s homemade pasta, was a huge hit last year, so much of a hit that the de-

cision was made to do two nights this year — takeout night Thursday and eat in night Friday.

On Thursday, April 23 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. you can head down and pur-chase a spaghetti dinner and home-made noodles for only $13. Contain-ers are provided.

On Friday, it’s spaghetti again, along with garlic bread, salad and des-sert for a sit down dinner for only $16. That goes from 5 to 8:30 p.m. and in-cludes a beer and wine bar.

You can purchase tickets by calling 250-427-4561 or 250-427-7067. Buy them early, that pasta is popular!

TOwNsmAN sTAFF Protests against the Federal

Government’s proposed Bill C-51 were held throughout the region on Saturday.

According to the Govern-ment of Canada, Bill C-51, also known as the Anti-terrorism Act, 2015, was designed to, “en-courage and facilitate informa-tion sharing between Govern-ment of Canada institutions in order to protect Canada against activities that undermine the security of Canada.”

Civil liberty groups and other critics have claimed the bill stretches the definition of secu-rity to potentially include peaceful protests, further re-stricts freedom of expression, and raises privacy concerns, since the act would allow feder-al institutions such as Health Canada and Revenue Canada to share private information with

the RCMP.“The response to this bill,

which many people call the Se-cret Police Bill, has been over-whelmingly negative,” said Wayne Stetski, the NDP candi-date for the riding of Koote-nay-Columbia. “So many peo-ple have taken time out of their Saturday to attend events and collect petition signatures be-cause they know the impor-tance of standing up for our rights.”

Anti-C51 events were held in Revelstoke, Invermere, Cran-brook and Nelson, with protest signs, giant postcards, speeches and petitions.

“I spent the afternoon in In-vermere where I had the oppor-tunity to address canvassers be-fore they headed out into the community,” Stetski said. “And a number of people drove down from Golden to participate.

“Reaction to this terrible leg-islation cuts across partisan and generational lines. The more people know about Bill C51, the more they dislike it.”

Opposition parties submit-ted 111 recommendations for improving the Bill but the Harp-er Conservatives rejected every one of them, Stetski said.

“It is the responsibility of our Member of Parliament to speak up for our best interests, even when it is in opposition to what Stephen Harper tells him to do. On this issue, the current MP shows little interest in repre-senting the people who live here.

“This is one of the reasons I am running to be the Member of Parliament for Kootenay Co-lumbia. I will speak out loudly against any attempts to degrade the rights of the people I will represent.”

Across Kootenay Columbia, people are speaking out against C51

MLA Report

From Page 1This project is tied to

the Artesian Pasture prescribed burn that took place in the fall of 2014. Together, they will help protect Kimberley and surrounding com-munities from the possi-bility of catastrophic wildfires in the summer months.

Historically, the Rocky Mountain Trench has had an open valley bottom with very few trees present. Low-in-tensity fires tended to burn every five to seven years in the valley bot-tom, while fires burned at about 20-year inter-vals at higher elevations.

In the absence of fire in recent decades, these areas had become over-grown. A build-up of forest fuels (combusti-ble materials such as underbrush, pine nee-dles and wood debris) can increase the risk of more intense and dam-

aging forest fires. To report a wildfire

or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell-phone.

mation on current wild-fire activity, burning re-strictions, road closures and air quality adviso-ries, visit: http://www.bcwildfire.ca

Planned burn responsible for smoke

BC Liberals can’t be trusted

when it comes to land deals

Norm macdoNaldMLA Columbia River

Revelstoke

My report this week is about land. The value of land, the way govern-ment decisions on land can benefit their friends, and the way that zoning of land can drastically af-fect its value.

Recently, the Opposi-tion brought forward facts around the massive selloff of government lands on Burke Moun-tain, lands that were sold primarily to balance the provincial budget. Sell-ing off surplus lands as a way of making ends meet is short-term thinking that few citi-zens would support. This becomes even more questionable when it is discovered that these very valuable lands were sold at huge-ly discounted prices to a friend of the BC Liberals.

These lands were val-ued through a govern-ment-commissioned as-sessment at $128 mil-lion. Instead of following the advice of the real es-tate professionals to keep the lands on the market for the length of time needed to ensure a full value offer, the BC Liberals decided to stop the sale. The whole par-cel was then purchased for only $83 million. That’s $43 million dol-lars of revenue to the Crown that was lost.

But who was the suc-cessful bidder? A BC Lib-eral donor who has do-nated nearly $1 million to the party.

This situation re-minded me of the im-portance of proper over-sight of all government’s dealings with real estate, and the dangers of our current system for man-aging changes to lands within the Agricultural

Land Reserve (ALR).Municipal zoning de-

cisions, for example, are made by elected and ac-countable officials in a very public process fol-lowing strict rules. This is the way every zoning decision should be made.

And this is why so many people are con-cerned about the BC Liberals’ meddling in the ALR. Decisions made around releasing lands from the ALR in the Koo-tenays are no longer re-quired to meet a strict standard; the rules for changes are now ill-de-fined and do not put ag-riculture as a top priori-ty. Land released from the ALR can increase significantly in value, so these decisions must be made with the greatest of care.

But to add further fuel to the fire, the peo-ple who will make these important decisions are political appointees who will operate without clear guidelines, public process, or oversight. This could result in deci-sions that do not put the best interests of the pub-lic first.

So much depends on governments develop-ing legislation and pro-cesses that ensure that public interest is para-mount. Unfortunately, that has not been the record of this govern-ment.

MLA Norm Macdonald

By Tom FleTcherBlack Press

The B.C. government has killed 11 wolves in the South Selkirk Moun-tains and another 73 in the South Peace region in the first year of a five-year plan to protect dwindling caribou herds.

The South Selkirk program left seven to 10 wolves alive because they were not targeting caribou, and their movements continue to be tracked. That moun-tain caribou herd is down to 14, compared to 18 last year and 46 in 2009.

The South Peace herds have also seen significant losses from wolves, with 37 per cent of adult mortalities con-firmed as wolf kills. Four herds in the region, the Quintette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Sid-ing, were targeted in the wolf removal program.

The 700-member Graham herd, the larg-est in the South Peace, is

being left without pro-tection as a control group.

The program to shoot wolves from the air was a last resort after targeted hunting and trapping of wolves proved inadequate, sometimes splitting up wolf packs and increas-ing predation of cari-bou.

The South Selkirk herd has been subject to intensive protection ef-forts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. In

2007 the province banned logging and roadbuilding in its 2.2 million-hectare B.C. range and restricted off-road recreatioin to re-duce human distur-bance.

In the Peace region, restrictions were ap-proved in 2012 to pro-tect 498,000 hectares of high elevation winter range.

The modern pro-gram began in 2003, after decades of man-aged hunting and other

wolf control measures.For the first part of the

20th century, B.C. of-fered a bounty on wolves that ended in 1955. Be-ginning in 1950, baits laced with poison were used in bait stations and later dropped onto fro-zen lakes and rivers, which killed other spe-cies as well as wolves.

Large-scale poison-ing in wilderness areas was suspended in 1960, but targeted baiting to protect livestock contin-ued until 1999.

Wolf cull ends for year with 84 killed

The B.C. government has completed the first season of a five-year targeted cull of grey wolf populations.

Letters to the editorgood for Business

The arts is good business.That’s the impression I was left with

following a recent Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce meeting where the keynote speaker was James Moore, federal Minister of Industry and Conservative MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam.

In response to a question from Cran-brook Councillor Danielle Cardozo, Moore pointed out that the arts and culture sector represents 640,000 jobs nationally, and that the arts and culture industry in Cana-da is three times the size of the insurance industry and two times the size of the for-est industry.

Interesting numbers!Which leads me to the pressing need for

a decent home for a public art gallery in Cranbrook, the subject of much discussion in recent letters to the editor.

Personally, I would love to see the for-mer Fire Hall, a heritage building, repur-posed as a public art gallery. It would be a boon to downtown revitalization and, as Minister Moore’s numbers show, the arts can translate into good business.

But arts and culture are also about more than numbers. There has been some chatter about wants versus needs in recent letters. For me, arts and culture fill a very real need.

Every city needs things like arenas and swimming pools and trails to address the needs of our bodies. Every city needs things like libraries and schools and col-leges to address the needs of our minds. And every city needs things like theatre companies and choirs and symphony or-chestras to address the needs of our souls.

Cranbrook has many of these things in abundance. About all we need now is a permanent home for a public art gallery. Fill the potholes, as funds permit, by all

means. But fill our souls too. Public art is part of that.

It’s not something I want. It’s something I need.

Sandra AlbersCranbrook

Fire Hall/CdaCIt is disappointing to read much of the

misinformation that many people in Cran-brook choose to believe about Cranbrook and District Arts Council and Fire Hall #1. Good decisions are based on weighing the pros and cons of true facts and not hear-say.

I thank Ms Dodgson for her letter of April 14th for it provides an opportunity to correct much of what is erroneously be-lieved.

In addition to the corrections made by Mr McColl in a letter to the Townsman, Cranbrook and District Arts Council Soci-ety has been in existence for forty years, not ten and prior to that under the guid-ance of Ms. Muriel Baxter it was the Koote-nay Fine Arts and Craft Society, giving it a history of 70 plus years in Cranbrook.

The new council has removed the funds once planned to assist in the restoration of this historic building but Cranbrook and District Arts Council has offered to take the restoration on, at no cost to the City. We have, in fact, been exploring every avenue available for funding and have so far been successful without any help from the City.

Grants are paid to many organizations including the City of Cranbrook. The Spray Irrigation upgrades would not have been possible without two thirds grant funding from the Federal and Provincial Govern-ments and to date that would mean the City has received approximately 20 million dollars in grants for that project. That is a

pretty big hand out. The funding we re-ceive from grants set aside for Arts and Culture are miniscule by comparison and if we don’t get them in Cranbrook, they go to Fernie, Kimberley and elsewhere. You can see the positive result of that in those communities.

Most BC Communities value and pro-mote the arts by owning buildings, fre-quently historic or heritage, to showcase the visual arts. The Municipalities of Kim-berley, Fernie, Invermere, Nelson, Revel-stoke and Salmon Arm all, for example, own buildings specifically for the Visual Arts. Nelson alone, a community much smaller than Cranbrook owns the build-ings which house the Capitol Theatre, the Civic Theatre, Kootenay School of the Arts and Touchstones Museum. These com-munities take pride in their artists, their work and skills. In return these communi-ties gain balance becoming attractive to all.

Using the argument that we should buy the building as some have suggested, maybe minor hockey should buy the Me-morial Arena and library users should buy the library.

You may have voted for this Mayor and Council, Ms. Dodgson but do you sincerely believe they are all comfortable revoking an agreement, that was years in the mak-ing, included two previous Councils and one on which many volunteers have put hours of volunteer time into? CDAC for its part has acted in good faith in order to preserve a heritage building that would remain in city hands and become a much needed amenity accessible for all taxpay-ers? They will not give up now.

T he B.C. Liberal government’s sale of Crown properties to help balance its election budget was the domi-

nant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table.

They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view prop-erties in Coquitlam. The buyer was a prominent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the B.C. Lib-eral Party since 2000.

The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. As-sessment Authority value on these forested proper-ties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market.

(This sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined territorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission.)

The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on plati-tudes rather than retreat and find some answers.

Premier Christy Clark weighed in, ar-

guing that the budget would have bal-anced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three successive budgets. They downplayed the notion of land sales being rushed.

Then the NDP produced a string of emails sent between senior officials responsible for sell-ing two big properties across the street from the legislature.

“To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An

opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and preparation,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfor-tunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank by March 31, 2013.”

Then came a disclosure about a prop-erty in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land.

The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the

end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million.

The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office develop-ment.

De Jong cited another big health prop-erty in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted.

But it’s now clear that these and per-haps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality.

It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of inter-national finance.

Surplus asset sales have a long tradi-tion in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demand-ed.

T he first thing to do, if you want to cut the number of refugees from Africa and the Middle East dying while

trying to cross the Mediterranean, is to drop leaflets all along the Libyan coast teaching them about ship stability. Don’t all rush to one side when you spot a ship that might save you, the pamphlets will say, because your boat will capsize and you will drown.

That’s what happened last weekend off the Liby-an coast, where a boat filled with at least 700 ref-ugees overturned when the people aboard spotted a Portuguese freighter and tried to attract its attention. (One survivor says there were 950 people aboard, in-cluding those locked below decks. ) At least 650 people died — half a Titanic’s worth of casualties — although the boat in question was only 20 metres (70 ft.) long. Only 28 people were saved.

Exactly the same thing happened with another boat crammed with refugees the previous week, and another 400 people drowned. Counting another 300+ people who drowned in another disaster in Feb-ruary, the death toll right now, before the peak summer season for refugee cross-ings, is around 1,500. That’s a full Titanic. It’s not getting quite as many headlines, though.

So the second thing to do is to lock the European Union’s foreign ministers into a room and refuse to let them have caviar and champagne until they agree to do something about the silent massacre in the Mediterranean. Something quite ef-fective was being done until late last year, but they deliberately stopped it.

Until late last year the Italian navy (praise be upon it) was running an opera-tion called Mare Nostrum that went all the way to the edge of Libya’s territorial waters

to pluck refugees from the sea. The opera-tion cost 9.5 million euros a month ($10.3 million), but it rescued 100,000 people from leaking boats or the open sea. More than half of the 170,000 refugees who landed in Italy had cause to thank the Ital-ian navy, and only one in a hundred died.

The number of refugees arriving in Italy each month is around the same this year, maybe a little higher — but ten times as many people are dying on the way. That is because the European Union’s gov-ernments, rather than shar-ing the cost of the Mare Nostrum project, asked

Italy to shut it down and substituted their own “Triton” operation.

Except that “Triton” is in no way an adequate substitute. It only gets a third of funding Mare Nostrum had, and it is only supposed to operate in Italy’s coastal wa-ters, not farther out where most of the ref-ugee boats capsize or founder. Even this year, with the Italian navy theoretically excused from duty, it has saved twice as many people as the pathetic “Triton” op-eration. Which, by the way, was INTEND-ED to be pathetic.

The argument the European govern-ments made was that if you didn’t give the refugees the hope that they would be saved by the Italian navy, fewer of them would come. Right, so if you’re fleeing the civil war in Syria or the ghastly dictator-ship in Eritrea, and you learn that the danger of dying on a Mediterranean cross-ing has gone up from one percent to ten percent, you’re going to decide to stay in war-torn Libya instead?

Were the European governments lying to themselves, or just to everybody else? The latter, almost certainly. They were under pressure at home to stop the flow of migrants, they didn’t want to share the

burden of saving them with the admirable Italians, but they couldn’t just say “Let them drown.” So they came up with that preposterous argument about deterring the migrants by making the crossing more dangerous, and shut Mare Nostrum down.

“In many countries in Europe at the moment,” said Laurens Jolles, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) representative in Italy, “the (po-litical) dialogue and the rhetoric is quite extreme and very irresponsible....It’s a fear of foreigners..., but it is being exploited for populist or political reasons, especially in election periods.”

Too true. Take, for example, Katie Hop-kins, columnist for The Sun, a down-mar-ket right-wing British red-top (tabloid newspaper) owned by the estimable Ru-pert Murdoch. Last Friday, in an article headlined “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”, she wrote: “NO, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.”

“Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. They might look a bit “Bob Geldof’s Ethiopia circa 1984”, but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb. They are survivors....It’s time to get Austra-lian. Bring on the gunships, force migrants back to their shores and burn the boats.”

Saying that sort of thing is how she earns her living, but it also expresses the true sentiments of a politically significant minority not only in Britain but in most countries throughout the European Union. When the UNHCR appealed to the EU to resettle 130,000 Syrian refugees, Germany said it would take 30,000, Sweden (with a tenth of Germany’s popu-lation) took 2,700 –and the other 26 EU states only took 5,438 between them.

So the drownings will continue.

The drownings will continue

White Tigers pounceCranbrook taekwondo club wraps season

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Cranbrook’s White Tiger Taekwondo wrapped up its 2014-15 competition season with a trip to Kelowna for the Kees Taekwondo Invitational the week-end of April 10 to 12.

The White Tiger had a successful run at the event, claiming eight gold medals and 11 sil-ver medals.

“The competition was good for all students and all levels,” wrote Master Steve Desjardins via email. “The black belts had some really good competitors there to compete. Overall, ev-eryone had fun and en-joyed the competition.

“This was a real good tournament for some of our students, who for them, it was their first time competing.”

A total of 120 com-petitors took part in the tournament, seeking out medals in six differ-ent events: poomsae,

power break, high-jump kick, flying side kick and weapons.

According to the World Taekwondo Fed-erations, poomsae is a series of movements for offense and defense techniques in accor-dance with fixed pat-terns.

White Tiger students Erica Palmer and Sarah Jewsbury each earned gold medals in their re-spective divisions of poomsae competition.

Rhy Palmer and Ethan Sawatsky laid claim to silver medals in poomsae as well.

A total of three White Tiger athletes earned gold medals in full-con-tact sparring. Erica Palmer, Tanner Swanson and Ken Jewsbury were all rewarded for their ef-forts in each of their re-spective divisions.

Rhy Palmer, Nolan Palmer, Hunter Chiz, Sarah Jewsbury and Ainsley Zmurchyk con-tributed to the medal hunt, with each earning

silver medals in their re-spective sparring divi-sions.

In power break com-petition, athletes are scored by how many boards they break using standard techniques.

Nolan Palmer was awarded with gold and Rhy Palmer with silver in power-break compe-tition.

In high-jump kick competition, Kihwan Kim claimed gold with a 7-foot-6 leap. Sarah Jew-sbury was awarded sil-ver for her efforts, while Sawatsky narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing fourth.

Kihwan Kim also claimed gold in flying side kick competition.

Dawson Thomas fin-ished fourth in tradi-tional Korean weapons form competition.

The successful week-end in Kelowna con-cludes the season for White Tiger Taekwondo. The next campaign of martial arts gets under-way in the fall.

Former Ice Stoll arrested on drug charges

associaTed PressLAS VEGAS - Los An-

geles Kings centre Jarret Stoll is accused of hav-ing cocaine and Ecstasy with him when he was arrested on a felony drug charge at a Las Vegas Strip resort swim-ming pool, police said.

The 32-year-old Stoll was arrested Friday af-ternoon after security guards conducting a routine search to enter the MGM Grand hotel’s Wet Republic pool com-plex found what investi-gators believe to be 3.3 grams of cocaine and several capsules in the back pocket of his shorts, according to a police arrest report made public Monday.

Police are testing the powder and the cap-sules of what investiga-tors suspect is MDMA, also known as Ecstasy. Combined, police put

the value of the drugs at about $600.

Stoll’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, was unavail-able Monday for imme-diate comment. Ches-noff said Saturday he hoped the public wouldn’t prejudge his client.

Stoll was released on $5,000 bond late Friday from the Clark County jail in Las Vegas.

His July 1 court date in Las Vegas will be on the same day the 12-

year NHL veteran be-comes an unrestricted free agent.

Kings spokesman Jeff Moeller declined to comment Monday.

Stoll is a two-time Stanley Cup winner and has been dating Fox Sports reporter Erin An-drews since late 2012.

The Kings missed the playoffs this season, and players went home for the summer a week ago.

Stoll spent his major junior hockey career in Cranbrook as a member of the Kootenay Ice.

In 245 career WHL games with the Ice, Stoll racked up 124 goals and 286 points.

He ranked as the franchise leading scorer until surpassed by Sam Reinhart this past sea-son.

Stoll was the captain of the 2001-02 Memorial Cup champion Ice team.

Dear Annie: I am a small-business owner. It’s challenging, but I have wonderful customers who seem to like our service. So, I’d like to ask your readers a question: Is there a business establishment that you enjoy going to? A restaurant that is part of your life? A store where you always are treated well? You can help them stay in business by writing a positive online review. It’s human nature to complain when things go wrong, but it’s rare to post something to let people know when things go right. My business has only a few online reviews, and they are negative posts from customers who were not happy with some small thing. I always try to make amends, but even so, the review is never removed. For every bad thing that happens in my business, there are so many good things and so many happy customers. They thank me over and over, yet they don’t write reviews, even when I ask. So, please, if you like a business, let the world know. “Like” them on Facebook. Post a review on Yelp or TripAdvisor or Google. You don’t have to write a lot, just a couple of positive sentences. It will make more difference than you realize. -- Business Woman Dear Business: It’s human nature to write only when you have a complaint or a disagreement. (We should know.) When people are satisfied with the service they are getting, they rarely think to say so, but you are right that small businesses depend on good word of mouth. Please, folks, if you have had a pleasant experience with a business or service, say so in an online review. It means a great deal to them. Dear Annie: When I was growing up, the rule was that if you had to cancel an appointment, you would call to let the person know that your plans had changed. Now that everyone has cellphones, it seems that the rules have changed. A couple of friends stood me up on my birthday because my cellphone was turned off. They said they didn’t come over because I hadn’t called to verify that I was actually going to be there at the appointed time. But we had already made these plans a week before. I thought I only needed to call if I was NOT going to be there. Am I out of touch with how things are done now? -- Sad Birthday Girl Dear Birthday Girl: It was wrong of your friends to assume you had canceled, but even if they apologize for their rudeness, it won’t change how they respond when they cannot get ahold of you next time. The problem is, so many plans are transient these days. People expect to be able to reach you at any moment of the day or night in case something changes at the last minute. But it also means people need constant verification to be sure the plans are still on. We think they would be happy to reschedule, and we hope you will let them.
