Dedicated volunteer recognized with prestigious provincial award Years of giving come back to honour Hebert with B.C. Community Achievement Award BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
While others are focused on receiving their Old Age Security at 65, Anne Hebert began giving something back. A long time resident of Trail, Hebert launched herself into a career as a volunteer after she retired, dedicating her time to four community organizations, and has continued to do so for almost 20 years. Now 84, Hebert’s contribution was recently recognized by the province when she received a 2012 B.C. Community Achievement Award, the only person in the Kootenay and Okanagan region to receive one — and part of a 40-person provincial contingent so honoured. And she earned it. On any given week Hebert performs a multitude of services for others, always willingly and always with a smile. For 18 years she has volunteered at the Salvation Army Family Services (Kate’s Kitchen) and the Food Bank, hosts the birthday parties at the Poplar Ridge Pavilion, and serves as a director of the Trail Branch of the BC Senior Citizens’ Association. She also helps out the Anglican Church food bank, canvasses for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, mans a Christmas kettle for the Salvation Army and was an Eagle for 35 years, volunteering extensively with their many projects. “I can’t say, ‘No.’ When people ask me to do something, I can’t say, ‘No,’” Hebert said with a chuckle. “And my health is fairly good so I can

The two raised four daughters in Trail, but after her husband’s health began to fail 34 years ago she took a job at Teck. When Hebert retired 15 years later and her children were grown, she put her efforts into volunteering. The community achievement awards honour individ-
uals who have made a significant contribution either as a volunteer or in the course of their work. Although she was nominated by Salvation Army Community Service manager Linda Radtke, there was plenty of support from the other organizations Hebert has worked with. Everyone wanted to write a letter of support for Hebert’s nomination, said Radtke, but she wouldn’t have had enough envelopes to mail all of the letters. “She’s such a humble person, she does everything
behind the scenes and just keeps on serving, never complains,” said Radtke. Once a week, Hebert makes a pot of her delectable, homemade soup at Kate’s Kitchen, and has been a mainstay of the Salvation Army’s kitchen since it began on Bay Avenue near the Eagles Hall 18 years ago. When that soup kitchen location was closed it moved over to the basement of the Salvation Army Thrift Store where it continued to operate, despite not having a full kitchen — but Hebert kept on cooking and never complained. Five years ago they moved into the well-equipped building on Rossland Avenue and Anne’s culinary skills flourished there, cooking for up to 60 people on any given day. “I thought she was amazing when she first came to work for us, as all of our volunteers are. But Anne just kind of stands out because she never complains,” said Radtke. “To have somebody so humble get this award is so awesome. I don’t usually do this because each one of my volunteers is special.” Hebert and other recipients of the 2012 British Columbia Community Achievement Awards will be recognized in a formal presentation at Government House in Victoria on April 25 — receiving a certificate and a medallion designed by B.C. artist Robert Davidson. The Community Achievement Awards are presented by the British Columbia Achievement Foundation, an independent foundation established and endowed by the Province of B.C. to celebrate excellence in the arts, humanities, enterprise and community service. Launched in 2003, the award winners are selected by an independent advisory council.
MLA preaching poverty issue Jagrup Brar visits Trail Tuesday to detail his month living on welfare and add rural perspective BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
A B.C. politician who explored poverty by living on welfare for one month is coming to Trail on a tour of the region to understand the challenges faced in rural parts of the province. New Democrat MLA Jagrup Brar, small business critic, will stop in Castlegar first on his two-day trip prior to hitting Trail on Tuesday and finishing up his visit in Salmo and Nelson with Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy. “I think it’s great that he’s coming. It’s exciting that he’s bringing a perspective with him that I don’t think many people in our shoes have experienced,” said Conroy. “What he did for a month in surviving on social assistance down in Surrey and the Downtown Eastside is pretty amazing.” Brar accepted a challenge from the Raise the Rates Committee to live on a $610 allowance – given to a single individual expected to work – for the month of January. In order to experience all of the faces of poverty, Brar started his journey at a shelter in Surrey before moving into a roaming house – a nine-bedroom home with a shared washroom and kitchen – in the same city before moving to the Downtown Eastside for the remainder of the month. There he stayed in a single room occupancy – a small room with a hot plate and no fridge – and again shared facilities. He met with stakeholders and activists, single mothers, teen moms, farm worker refugees, people with disabilities, mental health and addiction issues and seniors during this

credit for the other spouse. Then again, and this is the real stickler with this tax credit, even though the age tax credit may be lost for one spouse due to a pension split, the overall tax savings may outweigh the loss of that credit. Mathematically this is possible and has to be calculated. In general though, pension splitting is a straight forward procedure when a person is 65 or older and receiving eligible pension income that includes funds from annuity payments from a registered pension plan, retirement savings plan, retirement income fund and deferred profit sharing plan. Up to 50 per cent of the pension income can be split with the spouse. If younger than 65, only registered pension plan income or pension income received because of the death of the spouse can be split. The recipient spouse of income from a pension split can be any age, a point often missed that could cost thousands in taxes. A pension split can save

more than taxes, mitigate the old age security claw-back and maximize the age tax credit, it may also allow for double dipping when it comes to the pension tax credit. That is, if one spouse has no eligible pension income and because of the pension split now has pension income, that spouse becomes eligible for up to a $2,000 pension credit, in effect doubling the pension credit for the couple. Both spouses have to be 65 or older to qualify. Word of caution. Not all software programs will do the calculations for the various permutations to create the ideal pension income split. Read the software instructions and to be safe, do the calculations by hand, or have a professional do them. Finally, both spouses have to sign the T1032 that is required to be completed for both returns. Ron Clarke has his MBA and is a business owner in Trail, providing accounting and tax services.

REGIONAL MLA wants to hear local concerns FROM PAGE 1 time to listen to their stories. He found most people became down on their luck when the economy plummeted or they were hit with a life-changing tragedy, faced abuse or addiction problems. “This has been a kind of life-changing experience for me,” he said. “If I sit in my office in Victoria and read 200 well-written reports by experts about poverty, I probably will not get the sense of reality that I got by living it myself.” Though the ministry allocates $375 from the received allowance for housing, Brar soon learned that accommodation would be at least $450. Adding a $42 bus ticket and $25 monthly phone fee – needed as he was expected to look for work – Brar was left with just over $100. He opted to use the rest of this money for food only, relying on what basic toiletries he brought from home. Though he ran out of money on Jan. 25, he managed to get by on free meals from charities, some that he obtained through volunteer hours at the Carnegie Community Centre, a “living room” for the Downtown Eastside. “What I learned personally from this experience is
that I will not judge people based on what they look like,” he said. “In 31 days, I was able to maintain three meals a day and I had no fears, no guilt and no depression that I may stay in this situation for a long time because I knew that I would be out of this soon. Even after that, I lost 24 pounds in one month.” He found the key issues to be a lack of affordable housing, low welfare rates and backwards policies. One reoccurring complaint was the lack of incentive to find employment when the government deducts dollar for dollar what an individual makes.

Local youth pleads guilty to online luring charges BY TIMES STAFF
A Greater Trail youth has pleaded guilty to charges related to luring local teens online. The 17-year-old boy, who’s identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has admitted to 10 of the 47 charges including impersonation, Internet luring and extortion. Greater Trail RCMP first received two leads of an account user making physical threats to convince local boys around 13 years old to add him as a friend on Facebook. With further investigation, police found that the alleged online predator acted from June 2009 through to November of last year. He is set to appear in court on May 16 for sentencing.

dents would not disrupt a school’s structure, allowing the school district to react in advance of higher than expected enrollments. The bill does away with the requirement for school districts to have a contingency fund in place to hire more teachers at the end of September once classroom numbers were finalized. Without that requirement it would save the school district up to $500,000, money
they had to spend by law after the school year started. Now they don’t have to wait until late September to expand teaching staff, they can do it right away. “If we can take $400,000 to $500,000 off of our deficit and use the Learning Improvement Fund in these creative ways, we win both ways,” Ganzert said.

Police make arrests in Halloween murder BY ROGER KNOX Vernon Morning Star
Marie Van Diest believes her family can finally direct its anger at a face. The mother of murdered Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest was reacting to news that RCMP had arrested not one, but two individuals in connection with the death of her daughter Halloween night, and that a photo of the man suspected of killing her daughter was being released by police. Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick, operations officer for B.C. RCMP’s major crime section, announced that Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, a former resident of Cherryville, is facing a charge of second degree murder in connection with the death of Van Diest. Foerster’s father, Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, has been charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to murder in connection with Van Diest’s death.

ment was always scheduled to be completed within that time frame. But aboriginal leaders in British Columbia say they are becoming increasingly dismayed with the public hearing process and are now seriously considering bypassing the hearings and heading straight to court. Coastal First Nations spokesman Art Sterritt said the cancellation of a day-and-a-half of scheduled review panel hearings in the central B.C. coastal community of Bella Bella last week signalled to many aboriginals that Ottawa has already heard enough from Northern Gateway’s opponents. “My guess is they are now going to try and shut it down by the fall,” said Sterritt, whose organization is an alliance of about a dozen First Nations along B.C.’s north and central coasts and

But he said he believed they are aware of the government’s plans to modernize the regulatory review process, including keeping project reviews to two years.

FANG LIZHI
Chinese dissident dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING - Fang Lizhi, one of China’s bestknown dissidents whose speeches inspired student protesters throughout the 1980s, has died in the United States, where he fled after China’s 1989 military crackdown on the pro-democracy movement. He was 76. Once China’s leading astrophysicist, Fang and his wife hid in the U.S. Embassy for 13 months after the crackdown. In exile, he was a physics professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Fang’s wife, Li Shuxian, confirmed to The Associated Press in Beijing that Fang died Friday morning in Tucson. Fang inspired a generation, said his friend and fellow U.S.-based exiled dissident Wang Dan, who announced the death on Facebook and Twitter. “I hope the Chinese people will never forget that there was once a thinker like Fang Lizhi. He inspired the ‘89 generation, and awoke in the people their yearning for human rights and democracy,� Wang wrote. “One day, China will be proud to once have had Fang Lizhi.� After the June 4, 1989 military crackdown that crushed the seven-week pro-democracy movement, Fang and his wife fled into the U.S. Embassy. Fang and Li had both been named in Chinese warrants that could have carried death sentences upon conviction. American diplomats refused to turn them over to Chinese authorities.
MIKE WALLACE
Journalist remembered as tough interviewer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Mike Wallace didn’t interview people. He interrogated them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them. His reputation was so fearsome that it was often said that the scariest words in the English language were “Mike Wallace is here to see you.� Wallace, whose pitiless, prosecutorial style transformed television journalism and made “60 Minutes� compulsively watchable, died Saturday night at a care facility in New Canaan, Conn., where he had lived in recent years, CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco said. He was 93. Until he was slowed by heart surgery as he neared his 90th birthday in 2008, Wallace continued making news, doing “60 Minutes� interviews with such subjects as Jack Kevorkian and Roger Clemens. He had promised to still do occasional reports when he announced his retirement as a correspondent in 2006. Wallace, whose career spanned 60 years, said then that he had long vowed to retire “when my toes turn up� and “they’re just beginning to curl a trifle. ... It’s become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren’t quite what they used to be.� Wallace’s “extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has been a force within the television industry throughout its existence,� Leslie Moonves, CBS Corp. president and CEO, said in a statement Sunday. Wallace was the first man hired when late CBS news producer Don Hewitt put together the staff of “60 Minutes� at its inception in 1968. The show pioneered the use of “ambush

Such tactics were phased out over time - Wallace said they provided drama but not much good information. And his style never was all about surprise, anyway. Wallace was a 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:
master of the skeptical follow-up question, coaxing his prey with a “forgive me, but ...� or a simple, “come on.� He was known as one who did his homework, spending hours preparing for interviews, and alongside the exposes, “60 Minutes� featured insightful talks with celebrities and world leaders. Wallace said he didn’t think he had an unfair advantage over his interview subjects: “The person I’m interviewing has not been subpoenaed. He’s in charge of himself, and he lives with his subject matter every day. All I’m armed with is research.� Wallace amassed 21 Emmy awards during
his career, as well as five DuPont-Columbia journalism and five Peabody awards.
In all, his television career spanned six decades, much of it spent at CBS.

Downtown plan must draw people to core
A
ttending the Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting and dinner party on a recent Friday night and then strolling around downtown the next day felt like Trail’s version of “A Tale of Two Cities.” There were no guillotines to be seen downtown, but the signs of death were everywhere. This was in striking contrast to the chamber AGM, where youthfulness and optimism were ascendant among the candidates for the board of directors. Outgoing president Ron Clarke spoke of the chamber’s growing membership of over 250 businesses large and small, and all the events and services the organization provides. But outside the Riverbelle banquet hall, the streets told a different story. I counted over 20 shuttered small storefronts on Bay and Cedar Avenue and their side streets, which was more than the number of pedestrians spotted during a 30-minute mid-afternoon meander. Add to that the larger buildings that now stand empty: the old CM&S company store, which until recently housed a video store that has moved to smaller
quarters; the old Eaton’s building; the former Eagle’s and PLP premises; and the fortress-like C.S. Williams Clinic. Fields will soon be joining the vacant monuments to the city’s economic past, when 13,000 people lived in Trail and bigger commercial centres were not an easy drive away. The long-awaited consultant’s report on the future of the city’s core is to be released this month. Let’s hope the city, chamber, economic development office, regional district, Teck and other large companies, building owners, small businesses, the Columbia Basin Trust, senior levels of government, non-profits and Trail citizens are presented with a plan they can get behind and get on with, because it is a big job that needs doing. To start, downtown desperately needs a facelift. Just about every building calls out for a power wash, while many require at least paint jobs and decent signage to make their fronts look respectable. The fact McDonald’s is pretty much the best-looking building tells you all you need to know about the state of the core. While beautification is not the cure for what ails the

area it is an obvious place to start and should facilitate a change in attitude of businesses and customers. Attitude adjustment is no small thing in downtown, where an atmosphere of doom prevails. While seeing few cars and almost no people on the streets, I did come across one nonautomotive business with used tires for sale in its front window. Other businesses were closed for no apparent reason. With the exception of that stretch of Cedar Avenue where Shoppers’ Drug Mart is located, most blocks don’t beckon potential customers. There is a certain amount of chicken and egg here: businesses won’t invest until they can foresee a decent return and consumers won’t come unless they are inter-
ested. This is where government intervention is needed in the form of tax incentives and a major student works program to get renovation costs in line with shortterm returns on investment. Perhaps the skills centre and development office could put together a program to ease or eliminate the paperwork burden on contractors who could utilize subsidized student laborers. The city should move ahead with a museum, library and visual arts centre on its Esplanade lands, which incorporates commercial and residential space. I know that outdoor summer dining on the waterfront sounds like intergalactic travel by Trail standards, but surely someone can make this happen? The local partners in the Greater Trail Community Centre (what’s left of the regional recreation function) need to invest in a marketing plan for the Charles Bailey Theatre and utilization of the portion of the building rented to Selkirk College. In addition to condos on the river, how about turning the Ferraro Foods parking lot into a housing project with a medium- or highrise building atop the cars? Downtown needs more
people not living below the poverty line walking the streets and using the services on a daily basis. Ultimately, the planners have to entice more people to live not just downtown, but also in Trail and its suburbs. The Community in Bloom committee has done some preliminary tracking of the astonishing number of people who earn their loot from Trail’s major employers but live in Castlegar and beyond. Proximity should be a natural advantage in attracting new workers to settle in Trail, but apparently the limited housing stock and other factors not. Research needs to be done on what these people want and how we can encourage developers to build it for them. When more people want to live in Greater Trail, as well as shop, eat, and entertain themselves here, then we will have a community we can enjoy even more than we already do.

Uptown Shopping in Downtown
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
April 9 - 15
Business owner has a valid point Re: Business Owner Frustrated (Letters to the Editor, Trail Times April 4) … that, I am sure, is how many business owners in Trail feel, and have felt for many years. I think it is safe to say that most citizens in our area have watched the businesses in the downtown core vanish over the years and wondered why is it so prevalent here. Castlegar seems to be flourishing very well. Nelson is, in many ways, nothing short of a phenomenal with people scurrying about, at all times of the day. There are shops, restaurants, offices, not only on the main street, but on the side streets and alleys as well. Each one of those businesses seem to have people
coming and going, stopping and making use of whatever the establishment is at all hours of the day. There are people walking about not just during business hours but also during what would be seen as the slow times. Have you ever driven around Nelson on a Sunday afternoon? It is busier there than any time of the day, any day of the week here in Trail. While it is true that the “downtown” that many of us remember is a thing of the past in most communities, it is also hard not to ask why Trail has become what it has while two communities close by have not... I wonder, could it have anything to do with those ‘closed door decisions’? Situations like the one
that Mr. Berukoff has encountered could easily cause one to throw in the towel and close the doors of an already struggling small business. It is often said that the dictatorship that some council members exhibit may have something to do with the growth… and shrinkage of the local business community. Maybe if some of the money that is so quickly passed out on studies of how to improve the downtown core was used to help the downtown core there could be some growth. Maybe then Trail could really become, more than we imagine or maybe even with a little luck a little more like we remember. Geri Coe Trail

Cummins will be going door to door in the by-elections, especially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning. He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was doorknocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown. The B.C. Liberals have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition. That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning. “She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

NATIONAL Boy rescued from washing machine THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - A Saturday afternoon of good, clean fun took an unusual spin when a Calgary boy playing hide-and-seek became stuck in a washing machine. Firefighters say the 13-year-
old was trying to hide in the toploading machine, and was almost completely inside it when he got jammed. His grandmother tried to free him then she called the fire department, and it took firefighters half an hour to get the boy out.
MacKay aware of extra cost of jets THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. - Defence Minister Peter MacKay says he was aware two years ago that it would cost closer to $25 billion to buy a new fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets. That’s about $10 billion more than the nearly $15 billion the government has maintained would be the price of the 65 radarevading aircraft. MacKay was asked on CTV’s Question
Period whether he was aware of the higher internal number. He said the higher number takes into account the ongoing cost of pilots’ salaries and other costs associated with operating the current fleet of CF-18 jet fighters. “Yes, and it was explained to me just that way, that the additional $10 billion was money that you could describe as sunk costs, that is what we’re paying our personnel, and

the fuel that is currently being expended in CF-18s, jet fuel, maintenance costs, what we are currently spending. So not part of a new acquisition,” MacKay said. Auditor General Michael Ferguson issued a scathing report this past week that slammed the military for keeping Parliament in the dark on the true cost of the procurement. He pegged the eventual cost of the project at $25 billion. Ferguson also suggested to reporters that cabinet ministers would have known the true cost of buying the new planes was much higher than the numbers they were using publicly.
The Conservative government has faced heated attacks from the opposition, including calls for ministerial resignations. MacKay dismissed a suggestion that he should resign over the matter. “This money has not been spent. No money is missing,” he said. Opposition MPs appearing on the same program rejected MacKay’s explanation. NDP critic Jack Harris accused the government of deliberately misleading Canadians on the true cost of the project, including during last year’s federal election campaign. “They can’t paper this over. This is going to haunt them.”

Vees take first two from Kings BY EMMANUEL SEQUEIRA Penticton Western News
A lucky crash helped the Penticton Vees take a 2-0 series lead against the Powell River Kings in the BCHL championship final Saturday. After taking a D.J. Jones pass, Vees forward Bryce Gervais was hauled down on his way to Kings goalie Sean Maguire. As Gervais was forced to the ice, he was also directed into Maguire who was taken out. The puck went to Steven Fogarty, who fired a bad angled shot into the net to give the Vees a 2-1 lead. The goal also proved to be the winner. Fogarty said because Gervais was pushed into the
A small but potent Salmo Judo Club contingent brought home a bounty of medals from a judo tournament in Edmonton last week, including a trip to the nationals for two of the athletes. Five members of the Salmo club joined more than 1,500 competitors at the Edmonton International Judo Championships to battle for a spot on the provincial team. When the dust settled, an impressive four of the five Salmo athletes picked up medals: Arianna DeGeorgio, Corbin DeGeorgio and Justine Goulet all won gold medals, Tia Lundgren took home silver and Trennin Lifely just missed the podium with a fourth-place finish. However, based on accumulated points, Lifely qualified for Team B.C. in the 66-kilogram juvenile men’s class and Goulet was named to the juvenile 40-kg. women’s, ensuring each a ticket to the nationals. “They as well as the other Salmo Judo Club team members were shining with beautiful techniques and well-thought-out game plans,� said Sensei Sandy Vaughan-Sydnam in a release. “The team is developing a great name for itself and many other instructors and coaches admired the work of our club.� The event, like others during the season, is a selection tournament, where athletes accumulate points to qualify for their provincial teams and the opportunity to compete in the Canadian Nationals in Toronto in July. Afer a 4 a.m. departure from Salmo and a long bus ride, the first challenge for the team was making the weigh-in. “It’s always stressful before the tournament to make sure everyone on the team makes the appropriate weight division,� said Vaughan-Sydnam. A pound over or under can disqualify a competitor or put one at the bottom of a weight division with larger players, in addition to paying a fine. Fortunately, the club members all made weight and went on to great performances. Anyone interested in joining the Salmo Judo Club may do so at any time during the season, visit a class or call 357-2029 for more info. The club hosts the Kootenay Classic Judo Tournament at the Salmo Youth and Community Centre on Apr. 28, the public is welcome.
goalie, the play wasn’t whistled for goalie interference. As the play developed the New York Rangers draft pick said he didn’t feel pressure on the play. “It was a tough angle but I got it in,� said Fogarty. In Game 1 Friday, Vees forward Travis St. Denis netted a goal and an assist and was named the games’ first star in leading Penticton to a 3-1 victory. The Trail native has three goals and eight assists in 13 playoff games and sits in eighth in scoring. After a shaky start Saturday, Fogarty said the Vees got better in the second, which then set up for a stronger third period.
Matt Scarth opened the scoring at 7:21 of the first period. The Vees didn’t equal the score until the second when Joey Benik beat Maguire on his glove side. As Benik cut into the Kings zone, he said he used a player as a screen then fired a wrist shot on goal, which deflected off Maguire’s glove. Vees goalie Chad Katunar had another strong game making 29 saves and earning first star honours. Kings coach Kent Lewis said his team hasn’t played “good enough� following two games. “Their goalie played better than ours,� said Lewis. “We had some brain cramps that
gave them goals.� Lewis felt his team carried most of the play and killed crucial penalties as the Vees went 0-for-5 on the man advantage. “We just have to be more opportunistic,� said Lewis, adding that he will alter some things for Game 3 in Powell River. “Two goals in two games is not enough.� During the third period, the Vees were forced to shut down the Kings offensively with only five defencemen. Troy Stecher got hurt 27 seconds in as he was hit on his knee and needed help off the ice. Games 3 and 4 now shift to Powell River on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sudden death decides Masters THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Trapped in the trees, Bubba Watson had no chance. Good thing he’s one of those guys who never hits the ball straight. Unable to even see the green from where he was standing, Watson curled a shot from out of the pine straw and safely onto the 10th green to win the Masters on the second hole of a playoff Sunday over South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen. Watson won his first major and cried hard on his mom’s shoulder as they embraced on the 10th green. He won by hitting a most-memorable wedge shot, one that may have trumped the historic double-eagle 2 that Oosthuizen dropped in on the second green to take the lead early in the final round. Both players finished regulation at 10-under
278. With his bubble gum-pink driver and his allwhite outfit, Watson is one of those guys who stands out and he did, indeed, at Augusta National.. After missing a 10-foot putt that would have won it on the 18th green in the first playoff hole, he pushed one so far right, it was actually behind the gallery. No punching it out on this day. Instead, he lined it up, curved it in and when Oosthuizen couldn’t get up and down from in front of the green, Watson simply had to two-putt to capture the green jacket. He almost made the first one, rolling it a few inches past the hole. As the crowd began cheering, he held out his hand to playfully calm down everyone, then tapped it in. The tears started flowing immediately.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CURLING
Canada squeezes past Scotland in final THE CANADIAN PRESS BASEL, Switzerland Canada’s Glenn Howard defeated Scotland’s Tom Brewster 8-7 to win the gold medal Sunday at the world men’s curling championship. Howard made a draw to the button in the extra end for the victory. “Surreal is the best word I can come up with,” Howard said. “I can’t believe we actually pulled this thing off.” Brewster had a chance to win it in the 10th end but his stone slid out and he settled for one. In the extra end, Canada lead Craig Savill hit two nice ticks
and teammates Brent Laing and Wayne Middaugh came through with the necessary takeouts to set up Howard’s winning throw. “It’s for the world championship and there’s a lot on the line but Glenn makes it 99 times out of 100,” Middaugh said. “That’s why he’s throwing the last puck and there’s nobody better to have doing it.” It was the second straight year that Brewster had to settle for silver. He lost to Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton in last year’s final in Regina. Scotland opened the scoring with a steal in the first end after Howard was heavy with

his raise. Howard scored three with a takeout in the third end but Brewster pulled even with a draw for two in the fourth. Howard drew for one in the fifth and Brewster hit the button for a single in the sixth. Howard regained the lead in the seventh with a delicate tapback at the edge of the eight-foot to score two. Brewster answered with a deuce of his own in the eighth end after Howard’s takeout rolled near the fringe of the 12-foot. Canada regained the lead with a single in the ninth before the dramatic final two ends.

NCAA HOCKEY
B.C. wins frozen four THE NELSON STAR The Boston College Eagles downed Ferris State 4-1 Saturday night to earn its fifth national championship in program history. Nelson Minor Hockey graduate Isaac MacLeod is a sophomore defenceman with the Eagles who celebrated their win before a huge crowd at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Junior goaltender Parker
Milner recorded 27 saves en route to being named the 2012 Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player. “I feel honored and privileged to be a part of the BC program, the university and specifically the hockey program,” senior captain Tommy Cross told media after the game. “This was the best team I’ve ever been on. We just had something in our mind that the season was only going to end one way and that was our main focus.” - with files from Boston College

Consider telling a version of the truth to fiancée Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my wonderful girlfriend of four years. The wedding is scheduled to take place in September, and I just made the worst mistake of my life. My fiancée’s grandfather recently was diagnosed with cancer. My fiancee and her brother left town for two weeks to spend time with him. I stayed home, and so did “Angie,” my future brother-in-law’s wife. Angie has three difficult children, including a daughter with special needs. It is very stressful for her. The day before my fiancée returned, Angie completely collapsed. I helped her get her kids in bed, and we talked for hours about the pressure she’s under. We had a couple of glasses of wine to relax. Honestly, Annie, I never imagined things would go the way they did, but we slept together and are now tormented
ANNIE’S

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
with guilt. We promised it would never happen again and that we’d take it to our graves. The problem now is that I can’t look at my fiancée without thinking what a terrible person I am. How could I do this to her? I don’t think I can marry her after what I’ve done, but I don’t know how to break it off, either. What are my options? -- Worst Fiancéºe Ever in Toronto Dear Fiancée: One option is to tell the truth, possibly wrecking your engagement and Angie’s marriage. Another option is to say nothing, although both you and Angie would have to be able to live
with the guilt, and it would take time before your relationship with her could normalize. (And there’s no guarantee the truth wouldn’t come out later.) You also could simply walk away from the engagement, devastating your fiancee. Or you could tell a version of the truth: that while she was out of town, you got drunk and slept with another woman. You don’t have to name the woman or give the impression that you knew her. Beg your girlfriend for forgiveness, and ask her to go with you for premarital counseling. If she dumps you, so be it, but at least you both will know why. Dear Annie: My brother recently passed away. We are a well-known family in the community and received many cards, memorials and flowers. It was such a tribute, and we were very grateful. It was quite a task thanking
everyone, but it would have been so much easier if you could tell your readers to: Sign the card with your first and last names. If sending a gift or flowers, please also list your address. We called the florist, but they didn’t always have addresses. It is especially hard when there are multiple friends or families listed on one card and some live out of town. Please tell them. -- Barbara in Nebraska Dear Barbara: People often mistakenly assume that you will know who “Ted and Sheila” are, not considering that you might know more than one couple with those names, or that their handwriting is so illegible you aren’t sure if it’s “Ted and Sheila” or “Tom and Stella” -- or their address is unlisted. Please, folks, your kindness is much appreciated, so allow the recipients to thank you properly. Dear Annie: I
read the letter from “Distraught Daughter,” whose mother has started drinking again and becomes abusive when blotto. I was an alcoholic for 30 years and now am sober. Along with recommending AA
and Al-Anon, suggest they take pictures of the alcoholic. My boyfriend took a picture of me at my worst, and it was shocking. I always cleaned up the next day and didn’t remember anything I did. I insisted that what
people said couldn’t be true. That picture helped me get sober. I wish someone had videotaped me 30 years ago when I was drunk, hostile and vulgar. I might have gotten sober earlier. -Sober Now

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Tuesday, April 10, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A lovely day! Explore something new and different. Visit places you’ve never been before. You’re eager for adventure and an opportunity to learn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an excellent day to sit down with others and discuss inheritances, insurance matters, banking, taxes, debt and shared property. Boring perhaps, but you’ll accomplish much. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because the Moon is directly opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is not a big deal. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This could be an extremely productive day at work because you find it easy to get the cooperation you want
from others. Your words will be like a hot knife cutting through butter. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Tackle any kind of creative project today, because you feel energetic and imaginative. Enjoy sports, the arts, movies, show business and anything having to do with playful times with children. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with family members or time spent alone at home will delight. You have a warm feeling in your tummy about life in general. Discussions with parents will be harmonious. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Keep in mind that you need more sleep now, because the Sun is far away from your sign. However, relations with others are especially smooth today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This can be a productive
day at work. You have no trouble encouraging others to help you or join your projects. In turn, you likewise will be supportive of them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Love affairs, special occasions, social events, parties, sports and playful times with children are tops on the menu for you today. Basically, you want to have fun!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Home and family are your primary focuses today. Entertain at home if you can. Or simply enjoy quiet time by yourself. This is an excellent day for real-estate deals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because you’re in such a positive frame of mind, this is a great day to teach, write, act, sell, market or promote anything. It’s also an excel-
lent day for those who drive for a living. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Business and commerce are favored today. You’ll enjoy shopping as much as you’ll enjoy earning your money. Trust your money-making ideas. YOU BORN TODAY You’re independent and aware of your needs and what you want in life. (And you’re not afraid to go after them.) If the

LOCAL THE HUNT BEGINS
DANIELLE CLARKE PHOTO
The dash for chocolate covered Easter eggs drew an enthusiastic crowd of seven, eight and nine years olds on Saturday at Waneta Plaza. While the younger kids did their search in the lower parking lot, this group scoured the upper lot. Meanwhile, the Easter Bunny made an appearance and posed for photos with the participants.
