Chamber’s message received City Hall hopes to make it easier to do business in Cranbrook SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
The City of Cranbrook is trying to alleviate some of the issues identified in last October’s Barriers To Business report. The online survey was put out by the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce
for all past, present and potential business people to show the city what makes it difficult to do business here. The survey came about after Mayor Wayne Stetski asked the Chamber to tell council what is and isn’t working for businesses in Cranbrook.
The Chamber analyzed the survey data and presented the city with a report called “Removing the Barriers to Business in Cranbrook”. Since then, City Economic Development Officer Kevin Weaver has met regularly with Chamber representatives to discuss three subject areas the
report identified. One of those areas is the new development and building permit process. The report recommended that two application processes be combined, Weaver told Cranbrook city council on Monday, March 18.

East Kootenay Friends of Burma, an all volunteer organization which has been sponsoring refugees to Canada, and new homes in the East Kootenay, for many years will continue to do so, says Shauna Jimenez, despite the fact that provincial funding to help with that very thing has gone to another agency. As reported in the Tow nsman/Bulletin last month, the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour, Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced funding to enhance the integration of immigrants into B.C. Communities — part of the Ministry’s Welcoming Communities Program (WCP). Locally, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) received $107,000 to help achieve this goal in
Cranbrook. Kimberley CBAL received a further $80,000 on top of that to help new immigrants to the area settle and acclimatize. Friends of Burma applied for this funding and was turned down. Barb Ryeburn of EKFOB wrote to the Tow nsman/Bulletin shortly after the announcement and said, “While our application to provide these services via the Welcoming Communities initiative was not accepted, it does not mean that CBAL will take over the services we provide. “We are, however, disappointed that because our application was rejected, we will not be able to expand our services for refugees.” Jimenez says EKFOB has approached CBAL with proposals for partnership but has been told ‘no, thank you’.

The thaw has begun: The waters of Boulder Creek have already began to flow with more urgency now that spring has arrived. The vernal equinox of 2013, generally considered the official end of winter, was this year calculated to occur March 20, at 5:02 a.m. MST, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. The word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning “equal night.” Days and nights are approximately equal everywhere and the Sun rises and sets due east and west. As well, today, March 21, is the day when the sun has transitted into the astrological sign of Aries. So today marks the first day of the astrological year.

Sharp-eyed RCMP officer nabs alleged car thief Cpl. Chris Newel
A subject is in custody and stolen vehicle recovered after an off duty police officer checked an abandoned vehicle on Highway 95A on March 19.
The officer had been to an appointment in Kimberley and was on his way back to Cranbrook when he noted a vehicle parked on the side of the highway, near Porteous Road,
that wasn’t there earlier. He also saw three subjects walking along the highway not far away. Upon checking the vehicle he saw that the
ignition was damaged. Believing the vehicle to be stolen and the subjects walking away involved, he went after them and made an arrest. He called for assis-
tance and officers from Cranbrook and Kimberley responded and commenced an investigation. The van had been stolen from Calgary. One subject is cur-
rently in custody and appeared in Cranbrook Court Wednesday, March 20. He has several outstanding warrants from other provinces. A 26-year-old male
from Calgary has been charged with Possession of Stolen Property. The other two subjects have been released.
City aims to streamline Continued from page 1 “We are examining more comprehensive changes that may be warranted. One of the recommendations proposed is to combine the development permit and the building permit application process. That’s something that may involve bylaw amendments,” said

Downtown Commercial vacancy rate 25 per cent S a lly MacD onal d Townsman Staff
Twenty-five per cent of Cranbrook’s downtown commercial space is currently empty, council heard from Chief Administrative Officer Wayne Staudt on Monday, March 18. With the help of a local realtor, the City of Cranbrook has conducted an inventory of vacant downtown commercial properties, and the diagnosis is a little grim. “There is approximately 100,000 square feet of commercial space that is vacant in the downtown core which equates to roughly 25 per cent of the commercial property available,” Staudt told council. “But if you have a look at that 100,000 square feet, it is (largely) limited to three properties — in particu-
lar, the old Super Valu, the Giant Tiger store, and the rest of the Cranbrook Mall,” said Staudt, adding that those three stores make up about 60 per cent of the vacant 100,000 square feet. The remaining vacant stock consists of various smaller properties, and of those properties only 10 per cent are considered prime for quality and marketability. According to the report in Staudt’s administration update, on average, leases on commercial properties in downtown Cranbrook are around $5 to $8 a square foot. Property taxes are around $2 to $5 a square foot. To make the redevelopment of a vacant commercial property economically viable, the lease rate would need to be about $24 a square foot.
steps they need to take to set up that business, and also in One Call, a service where the city would report all of its underground utilities and infrastructure so construction workers can call one central line before they dig to ensure they won’t hit anything underground. Another theme in the Barriers to Business report is business and economic development support products. To that end, Weaver said the city is putting together a Doing Business in Cranbrook Guide. “We are going to be compiling a Doing Business in Cranbrook guide, which will be building on some stuff through the development permit and building permit process and putting that into some good clean documents that can be printed and also available through our website and smart phone apps,” said Weaver. This year, Weaver said he will do a review of the city’s economic development strategy on council’s request. In the meantime, economic development will continue to market the airport industrial park, development of a Business Retention, Expansion and Attraction program, targeted downtown revitalization opportunities, supporting the Chamber’s tourism destination marketing, and the Asia Pacific Initiative with South Korea and China.
College of the Rockies’ Nursing students (left to right) Louis Gauer, Taylor Arkles, Tim Middleton, Brittany Blackmore and Jamie Sweet would like to extend their gratitude to the College of the Rockies, The Drive and local businesses and organizations for their support in their efforts to raise awareness of fluoride in water.
COTR nursing students to raise fluoride awareness Submit ted
College of the Rockies’ firstyear Bachelor of Science in Nursing students are aiming to raise awareness of fluoride in our drinking water. As a requirement of their program, the students were tasked with planning a health-promotion project. They determined that increasing knowledge of the benefits and potential risks of fluoridation was important as Cranbrook is one of the few remaining communities in British Columbia that continues to fluoridate drinking water.
The students’ campaign to raise awareness ties in with World Water Day on Friday, March 22, a day intended to celebrate global awareness of drinking water in communities. Currently, B.C. has the lowest incidence of fluoridated water in Canada with only six communities continuing to add fluoride to their water supply. “In order to heighten understanding of the fluoridation issue, we are displaying posters within the College and around the community,” Group member Jamie Sweet sid. “We also en-
courage the public to listen to The Drive on Friday, March 22, when the station will be airing arguments on both sides of this issue.” The students will measure whether they were effective in raising awareness of this issue by conducting a poll targeting their fellow students within the college. It will be a simple questionnaire poll that will be conducted Monday, March 25th by the group.

Friends of Burma will continue settlement work Continued from page 1
“EKFOB has successfully sponsoring and settling refugees for the past 18 years, and prior to that, many were involved in the sponsorship of refugees from Cambodia giving many local residents 30 years of experience and expertise in refugee settlement,” she said. “EKFOB has an excellent history of successful sponsorship, settlement and retention of refugees in Kimberley and Cranbrook. Notably, we also support and mentor sponsorship and settlement groups in Creston, Rossland, Fernie, Nelson and Calgary.” Jimenez says some local service providers who do have a working relationship with EKFOB have questions and concerns regarding future settlement services for refugees due to the recent announcement. “As the only current group responsible for
sponsoring and settling refugees to our communities, East Kootenay Friends of Burma is extremely disappointed and appalled to be intentionally excluded from the Welcoming Communities Action Plan (WCAP) and the generous funding available to communities for providing exactly the services we have provided for the past 20 years,” Jimenez said. “A p p r o x i m a t e l y $200,000 will be provided for Welcoming community initiatives in Kimberley and Cranbrook. We understand and support the approximately $70,000 that will be distributed to a variety of individuals and groups for different welcoming initiatives. The majority of the remaining funds, however will apparently be utilized for settlement services of newcomers to Kimberley and Cranbrook. Some of these funds could

years and will continue to do so. In the case of this funding, which was to be used in a broad way for much more than refugee settlement, CBAL followed the Ministry’s guidelines, applied for the funds and went through a process that involved community participation to develop an action plan for immigrant settlement and welcoming communities. “FOB’s proposals during this process were unreasonable and

CBAL has the full support of the Ministry. We value and honour the work that FOB volunteers do.” Jimenez says FOB will continue to do that work, despite what may be duplication of service with the new funding. “EKFOB volunteers were consulted regarding this most unfortunate funding outcome and decided EKFOB will continue to provide all settlement services to refugees in our communities for the duration of their residency, despite exclusion from WCAP funds. EKFOB’s continuing non-funded settlement services include and are not limited to; providing assistance with housing and utilities, access to medical services, access to educational services, obtaining language tutors to assist with inhome ESL, organization and facilitation of therapeutic recreational and social activities, attendance at local community events, establishing host family networks, and liaison with all agencies listed here in our current network of holistic support for refugees. “These services are provided and will continue to be provided by a strong network of volunteers with the expertise, experience and dedication necessary to retain refugees in our rural communities, as demonstrated over the past 20 years. “We hope this clears up any misunderstandings and look forward to continued contact with service providers as mentioned above and once again commend our many volunteers who dedicate countless hours to the settlement of refugees in our communities, despite being excluded from this recent funding.”

Family law aims Canadian Cancer Society seeks to prevent disputes canvassers for coming campaign Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA — A major overhaul of B.C.’s family law is now in force, aimed at reducing disputes over shared parenting responsibilities and division of property when couples split up. The Family Law Act was passed in 2011 with support from both the B.C. Liberal government and the NDP opposition. It took effect March 18. One of the main changes is extending property division rules of marriage to unmarried couples who have lived together in a “marriage-like relationship” for at least two years. Those rules mean property acquired during a relationship is divided equally, unless the couple sign an agreement to split assets differently. Debts accumulated during the relationship must also be shared, including mortgages, loans from family members, credit card and income tax debt. As with a divorce, inheritances and property brought into the relationship by each partner are not shared. Attorney General Shirley Bond introduced the changes as a way to keep family breakups out of court, and to take the “win-lose” terminology out of parenting. The traditional terms, “custody” and “access” of children, have been dropped from the Fami-

ly Law Act, replaced by “parental responsibilities,” “parenting time” and “guardianship.”
Justice Minister Shirley Bond The new act also makes it an offence for one parent to violate an agreed schedule for shared parenting. The law also requires parents who wish to relocate to give 60 days’ notice to those authorized to have contact with children. That applies whether the children are involved in the
relocation or not. When the changes were debated in the legislature, NDP justice critic Leonard Krog spoke in support, noting that B.C. has one of the highest levels of family disputes in Canada. “If we can keep people out of court, if we can let them settle their affairs in a more friendly and amicable way, then this is all to the good,” Krog said. “It means that people can get on with their lives. It will mean less emotional damage to children.” Details of the new rules and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the B.C. government website at www.justicebc.ca/en/ fam/. The site also has contact information for family justice centres that offer counselling at no charge.

If you want to make a difference in the fight against cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society needs you. With Daffodil Month just around the corner, Door to Door canvassers are needed this April to help the Society raise funds for the best in cancer research, prevention and support programs. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and for some who have needed support, a great way to give back to the Canadian Cancer Society. Cranbrook resident Lori Konkin had no idea that she would be able to get support when her mother was diagnosed with Cancer on December 31, 2008. “It was nice to know

Seniors, stop worrying about your pocketbooks. by Kathleen Thomas For many seniors, there are common concerns about lifestyle as they age. Many wonder how they will manage their own homes in their older years or what kind of personal care they might be able to afford. For seniors on a limited income, these concerns can be especially pressing as limited resources tend to mean fewer options. Fortunately, a new model of retirement living is helping to alleviate those fears. Retirement living communities across the country are working with provincial, federal and local authorities to make seniors of all income levels equally welcome in their facilities. In Kimberley, Garden View Village has made a commitment to low-income seniors a priority. Garden View Village is a well-crafted seniors’ community boasting beautiful suites ranging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts. These maintenance-free living suites incorporate supportive features to promote independence and 24-hour emergency monitoring service for added peace of mind. Kitchens include a fridge and stove and each suite is equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning controls. Beyond the suite is access to a variety of common areas which include a games room, spa room, library, dining room, cof-
fee room, crafts room, hair salon and lounges. All areas are easily accessible, full of interesting people, engaging activities and share a wonderful sense of community. Rents for allotted low income suites start as low as $500 per month at Garden View Village and include weekly housekeeping, a wide selection of recreational and social activities, 24 hour emergency monitoring, shuttle bus service, and hot, delicious meals prepared by on-site chefs. Each meal is served by cheerful wait staff in a central dining room, with a cozy fireplace where guests and families are always welcome. In addition to the hospitality services, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing they don’t have to worry about extra bills because all utilities including water, sewer, heat, air conditioning and cable are also included. Garden View Village is within walking distance of the beautiful Cominco Gardens and is a five minute drive to the shops, restaurants and services in the Platzl, as well as to the town’s medical clinic. The region provides many recreational opportunities, including award-winning golf courses, beautiful nature parks and world-class resorts. For more information you can call Garden View Village at 250427-4014 or visit goldenlife.ca
there were people out there who had been through the same thing,” Lori said. “This was my first experience and it happened so quick, it was overwhelming and it was nice to know there was support.” Lori’s mother had an inoperable form of cancer and for Lori, the support she received at the Canadian Cancer Society went beyond the Financial Support Program. “I came to the office and talked to someone about financial support which was a huge relief,”
she said. “Her meds changed so often, it meant so much to keep her comfortable. I was waiting while paperwork was being filed; there were papers that needed filing in the office and I spent half an hour stuffing envelopes. That was a nice break from what else was going on in my life.” Today, Lori is the new Volunteer Chair for the 2013 Door to Door Campaign. The Society is asking Cranbrook residents to join the fight this April and donate some time
to the Door to Door campaign. Volunteers are the heart of the Canadian Cancer Society. If you have a few hours to spare this April and want to make a difference in the fight against cancer, sign up as a Door to Door canvasser today.

It wasn’t until almost two decades after his death that the truth about Carter was made known. ‘The Transformation of a Klansman’ written by Dan Carter (a history professor and Carter’s own cousin) appeared in the New York Times. This time, everyone took notice. So where does this leave ‘The Education of Little Tree?’ Is it possible to like the book, but not the book’s author? Oprah didn’t think so, removing it from her highly influential book list. Neither did author Sherman Alexie (an actual Native American), who eloquently stated “Little Tree is a lovely little book, and I sometimes wonder if it is an act of romantic atonement by a guilt-ridden White supremacist.” Yet the guilt just isn’t there. “Ultimately I think it is the racial hypocrisy of a White supremacist.” Mike Selby is Reference Librarian at the Cranbrook Public Library

The City of Cranbrook appreciates your concerns towards your mom’s and other people’s safety and realizes that it can be difficult for those with mobility challenges to maneuver up and down the stairs. Western Financial Place was built with these concerns in mind and has numerous locations that have been designated for persons with disabilities and or mobility challenges. We will not be adding hand railings to the stairs at Western Financial Place as the Fire Department has significant concerns due to the staircases being too narrow to accommodate such modifications. We strongly encourage all persons that are experiencing difficulties with the stairs to utilize the designated areas for persons with disabilities or mobility challenges. Please feel free to contact me with any of your concerns. I can be reached at 250-4890254 or via email at paulsen@cranbrook.ca Stacy Paulsen Facility Operations Manager City of Cranbrook
Budgets, etc The provincial election letter writing campaign is on and unfortunately the
public will not always know when a letter provides accurate information. With that in mind, please note the following correction to Mr Werk’s March 15 letter. A budget is an estimate of expenses and revenue for the upcoming year. A comparison of legal budget documents over the past 20 years will show that the BC Liberal government met or exceeded nine of 10 budget targets while the NDP failed to meet even one budget target in 10 years. The documents also show that the NDP experienced seven consecutive credit downgrades while the BC Liberal government earned seven consecutive credit upgrades and currently has seven of only two AAA credit ratings in Canada.

Two breaches As I read “Both Big Parties Have Betrayed Us,” I couldn’t help but notice columnist Tom Fletchers’ attempt at setting up a false equivalency between the two breaches. Is he too in the “secret” employ of the BC Liberal Party, as so many others apparently are? Briefly, the significant difference is that the NDP went to the Comptroller to make sure they were following the rules, since it was he, not the NDP, who administered the fund. The Comptroller signed off on the legality of the fund. When Auditor General Doyle expressed concern in his preliminary draft report of 2010, even though the plan had been approved by the
Comptroller of the Legislature and met the standards that both the NDP and the Liberals operated under, the NDP stopped. The AG removed any references to it and altered his final report to reflect this. The BC Liberals, on the other hand, were caught using taxpayers money, not once but three times (remember the “Risky Dix” website fiasco?). They were funding blatantly partisan political operatives for the benefit of the party, Their Ethnic Outreach program involved using private emails to avoid detection, with party workers warning one another to keep the program hush-hush, as they knew it contravened the very guidelines they had sworn to uphold. Personal demographic information was gathered from thousands of citizens attending a variety of non-partisan ethnic festivals and gatherings, and forwarded to BC Liberal operatives or further use. When the scheme was discovered, the Premier said no taxpayer funds were used. Shortly after, the Liberals acknowledged that there had been taxpayer money spent, and were shamed into repaying it. Mr. Fletcher’s weak attempt to equate the two is further exposed as false by the fact that another investigation, this time by the Privacy Commissioner is currently under way. Her investigation, unlike the report of the Premier’s deputies, will have the power to look at party and caucus involvement and thus be much more thorough. John Balfour Cranbrook
Misplanned official bank robbery
C
ould a failed bank robbery in Cyprus cause the collapse of the euro? It’s hard to imagine how anything that happens in Cyprus, with less than one million people, could bring down the common currency shared by 300 million Europeans, but there are few human behaviours as infectious as a run on the banks. Strictly speaking, the Greek-Cypriots are not having a bank run, because their banks have all been closed since last Saturday and the cash machines will only give out 500 euros (about $650) per customer. But there would certainly be a nationwide bank run if they reopened the banks without strict limits on cash withdrawals and transfers overseas. A financial disaster in remote Cyprus will not directly affect the fate of the rest of the European Union, but any suspicion that the bail-out of a EU country might involve the actual confiscation of money in people’s bank accounts is financial and political dynamite. The terms of the Cyprus bail-out have just confirmed that suspicion. The banks in Cyprus had certainly got too big for their boots. They had grown fat on the deposits of Russians, many of whom were using the island republic as “a gigantic washing machine” to launder illegal funds. And they had lent out far too much money, especially to Greek banks and companies: their loans amounted to eight times the entire country’s national income. Everything seemed all right until
Greece’s economy crashed and needed not one but two bail-outs. During the second one, last year, foreign investors holding Greek bonds were forced to take a “haircut”: they had to agree to a 70 per cent cut in the value of their holdings. That gave Greece a little relief, but it plunged the Greek-Cypriot banks into a nearly terminal crisis. So now it was Cyprus’s turn for a 17 billion euro bail-out — but this time it was not the bond-holders got a “haircut”; it was Gwynne who the depositors. Cyprus was ordered to Dyer raise 5.8 billion euros of the bail-out money itself. It was to do it by confiscating 6.75 per cent of the money in the savings accounts of everyone with less than 100,000 euros in their account, and 9.9 per cent of the money in all larger accounts. In most people’s eyes, that is just straight theft. Worse yet, people in other EU countries realised the awful truth: EU bail-outs CAN cause bank runs. If there’s going to be a run on the banks, you want to be first at the counter. If you think there might be an EU bail-out for your country, you should get all your money out right away, just in case. And while Cyprus is too small to be significant, much bigger EU countries like Italy and Spain, with one-third of the eurozone’s population, are also potential candidates for a bail-out. Bank runs in those countries could spell the end of the euro. How did the geniuses who designed this bail-out get it so wrong? They included the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the International
Monetary Fund, but the real culprit appears to be Germany. Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German Finance Minister, insisted on targeting bank accounts in Cyprus (although they have never been directly raided in any other bail-out), and the rest of the geniuses went along with it. So Greek-Cypriots took to the streets in protest, and they didn’t go home when the government promised to exempt accounts with less than 20,000 euros in them. Newly elected President Nicos Anastasiades urged parliament to back the bail-out, but in the vote on Tuesday not a single MP supported it. The whole deal is dead, and Schaeuble is now warning that the banks in Cyprus may never reopen if it is not resurrected in some form. Cyprus’s finance minister is off in Moscow to see if the Russians will bail the country out. But the real crisis may be happening in other EU countries that are vulnerable to a bailout, including Italy and Spain. The geniuses swore that the Cyprus bank heist was a one-off, and that no such measure would ever be imposed on another EU country. Nobody in Spain or Italy believes them, of course, and the wealthy and well-informed will already be moving their euros to accounts in other countries. The less rich and knowledgeable will just be taking their money out of the bank and hiding it in socks under the mattress. Could all this end up with bank runs that bring down the euro itself? It’s still unlikely, but it’s certainly not impossible. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press
DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
Ice bench boss nominated for Eastern Conference Coach of the Year, Reinhart to All-Star team TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
For the 15th consecutive season, the Kootenay Ice are into the playoffs. Though it didn’t seem likely before the Christmas break, the team rallied in the second half and climbed out of the Eastern Conference basement to nab the eighth seed for the post season. The team’s remarkable play, led by the steady hand of head coach Ryan McGill, was enough to get the Ice bench boss the nod for the Eastern Conference Coach of the Year, as the WHL announced conference nominees for league awards on Wednesday. Kootenay Ice sniper Sam Reinhart, who accumulated 85 points with 35 goals and 50 assists, was named to the second All-Star team, alongside Cody Sylvester (Hitmen) and Hunter Shinkaruk (Tigers). Alex Roach (Hitmen) and Keegan Lowe (Oil Kings) joined up on the blue line, while Laurent Brossoit (Oil Kings) got the goaltending nod. However, the team is focusing on a bigger task at hand, namely their first-round opponents in the Oil Kings, which begins on Friday at Rexall Place in Edmonton. The two teams met each other six times over the regular season, splitting the record with three wins apiece. Both teams also recorded a shutout victory. Puck management is the mantra for the Kootenay squad as they prepare to face the top-seeded Oil Kings. “For us, we have to manage the puck properly,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “We have to make sure we’re very careful with the puck, but I don’t want to use the word careful, you just have to make sure that we’re making the right decisions with the puck because of how active their defence is in their transition game, how good their powerplay is, how good their team game is.

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill directs a drill while defenceman Joey Leach springs into action during practice at Western Financial Place on Tuesday afternoon. “They come at you in waves, so if we manage the puck properly and get to positions properly, we want to make sure we’re good offensively, but at the same time, we want to make sure we’re good defensively.” The Oil Kings were two goals outside of leading the Eastern Conference in overall team scoring—second only to the Saskatoon Blades. Michael St. Croix and Dylan Wruck both topped out near the century mark for points, while threats also come from Henrik Samuelsson and sophomore Curtis Lazar. To put it in perspective, the Oil Kings have nine NHL-drafted players on the team—four of them from their parent club, the Oilers. However, if the regular season record between the two clubs is
any indication, it should still be a tight series. Ice rookie Collin Shirley is looking forward to his first post-season run in his inaugural year in the WHL. Despite his youth, Shirley has managed to play his way onto the front line alongside Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau for a large chunk of the season. “I’m really excited, obviously it’s something I’ve never been a part of yet, so I’m looking forward to the opportunity
and what we have here,” said Shirley. The young forward said the team isn’t looking to switch up anything major going into the series, but rather needs to focus on the intricate details of the game to be successful. “For the last little while, since after Christmas, we’ve just been playing great hockey,” said Shirley, “and I think that just comes from doing the little things, paying attention to detail and just filling roles
that McGill asks you to do—that’s what you got to do—so I think everyone’s doing that, everyone’s starting to buy in and that’s key for us.” ICE NOTES: The Regina Pats won the lottery for the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, meaning they move up from the fourth to the second overall pick. The Vancouver Giants, which had the poorest record in the league, retain the first overall selection. Kootenay is in line for the ninth overall pick.
Bears part ways with Urlacher ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO - The Chicago Bears are parting ways with veteran linebacker Brian Urlacher after 13 years. General manager Phil Emery said Wednesday that the team couldn’t agree on a contract with
Urlacher, for years the heart and face of the franchise. He is now a free agent after missing the last four games of the season with a hamstring injury. The eight-time Pro Bowler started 180 games from 2000 through
2012, recording a team-record 1,779 tackles. The ninth overall selection in the 2000 draft has 41.5 sacks, 22 interceptions, 16 fumble recoveries and 11 forced fumbles. He was the AP’s defensive player of the year in 2005.

NHLPA says it will speak to players on visors Neil Davidson Canadian Press
TORONTO - The National Hockey League Players’ Association plans to canvas its membership on visors. Mathieu Schneider, a special assistant to NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, said some 72-73 per cent of NHL players currently wear shields. “By the sheer numbers of players wearing them, you’re seeing a big change in visors,” said Schneider. “I’m certainly an advocate - and a bit of a hypocrite myself because I played my entire career without one. But the game’s extremely fast. Guys come into the league now having had to wear a visor before. We’re definitely going to look at talking to the guys about grandfathering them in.” That might involve polling the players on

the issue. The last time they did that, in 2009, players were “heavily” against grandfathering in visors, he said. “Obviously a lot of time has passed (and) a couple more injuries,” he noted. Schneider was involved in a day of meetings with NHL GMs, who talked about everything from embellishment and goalie equipment to trying to maintain the integrity of faceoffs. The NHLPA rep was part of a larger group discussion on player safety and other rules issues. The issue around faceoffs involves “cheating” - having players kicked out to buy time, Schneider said. “They want to bring back the integrity of the faceoff and try to take away as much of the cheating as possible,” he said.

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Parks Canada confirms that a body has been recovered from a crevasse in Yoho National Park near Lake Louise, Alta. Mark Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. fell into the crevasse seven days ago after becoming separated from two fellow skiers during bad weather. The same poor weather delayed a rescue operation for days. Rescuers had reached the edge of the crevasse but couldn’t search it before blizzard conditions forced a retreat. Rescue crews had to shovel through several metres of snow to reach the body.

VERNON, B.C. — A 52-year-old North Okanagan man can thank a cool-headed RCMP officer for waiting an extra split second, possibly saving the man’s life. Mounties were responding to reports of a domestic assault in Vernon, B.C., on Monday when they spotted the man using a hammer to smash the windows of a car. An officer ordered the man to drop the weapon but instead, the suspect turned on the Mountie and began to advance in what police describe as a threatening way. An RCMP release says the officer drew his gun but held his fire as the man, still brandishing the hammer, turned away. That’s when the officer switched to pepper spray and took the suspect into custody. The man is expected to face charges of uttering threats and assault.

GABRIOLA ISLAND, B.C. — A recovery operation is underway off a BC Ferries dock on Gabriola Island, B.C., after a car slammed through a metal gate, roared over the open deck of a ferry and plunged into the water. The vehicle sank under about 50 metres of water, prompting the RCMP to call in the navy for help in accessing the vehicle, said Mike Corrigan, the CEO of BC Ferries. “It’s a very sad situation, it was a six-foot barrier gate there, a metal barrier gate that this vehicle rammed through at a high rate of speed,’’ Corrigan said in an interview. The incident happened at about 3:45 a.m. Wednesday. The MV Quinsam ferry had been “home ported’’ at the Gabriola Island dock

The small island is located about five kilometres east of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. The Quinsam is an open car-deck ferry, with both the front and back ends of the boat open. Corrigan said a night watchman witnessed the incident. He said the watchman wasn’t sure if there was a person inside the
vehicle adding, “I’m assuming it’s not your everyday recovery operation.’’ Corrigan said he expects the RCMP to give some indication of when BC Ferries can resume operations later. In the meantime, a water taxi service was set up between the island and Nanaimo to ferry commuters. “Gabriola’s a small community, it’s come together under this potentially-tragic set of cir-

YELLOWKNIFE — A Northwest Territories man was just scratching what he thought was an annoying old itch earlier this week when it turned out to be a knife blade that had been buried in his flesh for almost three years. “I jumped in a cab and went straight to emergency,’’ said Billy McNeely, 32. It all goes back to an April, 2010, birthday party in McNeely’s home town of Fort Good Hope, N.W.T. McNeely said a fight broke out between himself and another man over an arm-wrestling contest that ended up with McNeely being stabbed five times. “They stitched me up and bandaged me up,’’ said McNeely. “They never took X-rays.’’ Ever since, McNeely has had a lump in his back where the knife went in. Doctors and nurses told him nerves had been damaged in the stabbing. But the old wound never stopped nagging. “I always had back pains. There was always a burning feeling with it.’’ The injury was constantly itchy and irritated. It set off metal detectors. That was explained away as a

Some hydraulic lines to the ferry’s apron were damaged, but the crew would be able to operate it manually until the lines could be fixed, she said in an email.
metal fragment that had lodged in his bone. On Monday, while McNeely and his girlfriend were asleep in bed, the pain came back. “I sat up, I tried to rub it and scratch it the way I always did, and then the tip of my nail caught a piece of something solid, something sharp. “My girlfriend got up and she started playing around with it and she manoeuvred my back in a certain way and the tip of a blade poked out of my skin.’’ Doctors dug out a blade measuring about seven centimetres long. “I’ve got it in my pocket right now,’’ he said. McNeely said he’s recovering well and doesn’t seem to have suffered any permanent damage, despite the physical work he does as a carpenter. But he’s not happy with the way he was treated by the N.W.T.’s health system. He said he explained his problems numerous times to doctors and nurses, but nobody ever thought to get to the bottom of his complaint. “I walked around for close to three years with this thing in my back,’’ he said. “They brushed me off.’’

The Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues, a collaboration of government representatives, rural physicians, the BC Medical Association, and regional health authorities, has made recommendations to the Ministry of Health, based on the degree of difficulty the community has experienced in recruiting hardto-fill physician positions.
2
East Kootenay Regional Hospital received $100,000 from the Province to attract a much needed anesthetist. Doctors receive $50,000 to come & another $50,000 after one year of service but must repay money if they don’t stay 3 years.

This is a pilot project and if successful, the provincial government will inject further funds into the program to assist other rural communities. There are already other incentives to attract physicians to rural communities, such as contracts for services in Sparwood & Elkford.

VANCOUVER — They’re the stuff of myth and B-grade horror movies, giant tentacled sea monsters roaming the deep in search of prey. Giant squid have tuned up on East Coast shores for hundreds of years, and now new research is shining some light on the B.C. sea monsters. An international team headed by Danish researchers tested DNA samples from 43 giant squid from around the world — including a specimen from Newfoundland — and were stunned to find that there is likely just a single species of the massive cephalopod. The genetic diversity among the samples was lower than almost any species ever reported, said Tom Gilbert, a researcher from the Natural History Museum of
Denmark at the University of Copenhagen. “That lack of diversity and no population structure is just crazy. We just cannot explain it easily once you start thinking that this is an animal that lives everywhere,’’ Gilbert said in an email interview. The study, published Wednesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, left researchers with several theories, including that the creatures may have come close to extinction and then rebounded. Giant squid, or Architeuthis, are one of the largest invertebrates on Earth. They are found in oceans from New Zealand to Ireland, and can reach a maximum of 18 metres in length, according to the article. Until recently, the creatures were so rare that they remained largely lore, including

bled sinker of ships, the Kraken,’’ says the article. One of the earliest recorded sightings was in 1785 off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. There were unconfirmed reports of giant squid off the B.C. coast four years ago, but repeated requests for information and interviews with Fisheries and Oceans Canada researchers were not successful. Until 2006, when researchers managed to hook a live giant squid using bait near the Ogasawara Islands, south of Japan, the only known specimens had washed up dead on beaches. In January, Japanese scientists made headlines around the world when they captured video images of a giant squid in its natural habitat for the first time. The
video, filmed from a manned submersible in the Pacific Ocean last summer and aired on the Discovery Channel this year, showed the three-metre cephalopod about 900 metres below the surface. The researchers have several theories, including that the population may have shrunk to near-extinction and then expanded. Why? They suspect that a decline in predator populations, such as the near-extinction of whales in the 19th century, may explain it but could be too recent. Cephalopods in general are very sensitive to climatic effects, said the article, and they have shown to increase dramatically when food competitors have been depleted by heavy overfishing.

Do not be surprised if you see some of your friends rubber-necking. Tonight: Make a gesture to keep the peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You express yourself without hesitation or thought. Do notice a tendency to personalize what others are saying, and avoid making mountains out of mole hills. You easily might take a comment the wrong way. Listen to what someone else is sharing. Tonight: Speak your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen to news carefully, as it likely will have relevance to you. You will discover a different path to the same point. Listen to your sixth sense on this matter. A loved one feeds you a lot of information. Check the facts -he or she might be off. Tonight:
Treat a friend to dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A compliment could make your day. You might not be yourself right now, and others could be wondering what is going on with you. Investigate a new possibility with care, and be willing to accept responsibility if the option interests you. Tonight: It is your call. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t worry if you feel as if you are dragging your feet and have no energy. This, too, will pass. A call from someone at a distance might surprise you. Thoughts about a future visit and perhaps a more interesting situation come forward. Tonight: Get some much-needed sleep. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to head in a new direction. Your concerns about what responsibilities you can pass on in order to lighten your load will be significant. You will discover more options, given detachment and time. Tonight: A partner lets you know how much he or she cares. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Someone looks to you as a person who can be counted on. You could discover how interested you are in how this person handles him- or herself. If you are attached, your partner will capture your attention. Realize what is happening. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What starts as a challenge could end in a different type of scenario that might surprise you. Knowing what it is you seek and heading in that exact direction will make a big difference. Do not settle, even if someone is pushy. Tonight: Sort through invitations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are a sign that is known to be creative. Today, you’ll revel in others’ acknowledgment of your originality. If you are single, you could meet someone quite unique. The love temperature heats up, no matter what your status is. Tonight: Start the weekend early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know that you do make a difference, no matter how you look at
a personal matter. You might be considering an investment that seems too good to be true. If this deal involves your family, you are more likely to be successful. Tonight: Invite a special person over. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You express yourself with a precision that is quite unique. How you feel when in the company of others adds to your desirability. Who can resist someone with an ear-to-ear grin? People become more accommodating when you are like this. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to your inner voice about a purchase; otherwise, you could go a bit overboard. You have no idea how much your attention is appreciated. Someone might offer you a deal that he or she thinks you can’t resist, but you might want to consider resisting. Tonight: Your treat.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Many years ago, my wife and I lived near my parents. After three years of putting up with their too frequent and always unannounced visits, we moved slightly farther away. My Dad is the worst offender. Mom caters to his every whim. Dad is extremely selfish and really never cares whether he intrudes. After we moved, the drop-in visits became less frequent, but now the constant phone calls drive us crazy. I have nicely explained to Mom that after a hard day at work, we turn off our landline so we can have some quiet time. I told her not to worry if we don’t answer. I also told her that if there is an emergency, she can call our cellphones. The problem is, Dad goes ballistic if he cannot reach us and immediately tells Mom to call our cellphones. We have been married 29 years and have grown children. We wouldn’t dream of dropping in on them unannounced or constantly calling when we know they want some peace and quiet. I call my parents twice a week to check on them. They are both in excellent health. Am I supposed to account to them every single day? Why do they do this, and how can we get some peace while keeping the peace? -- Perplexed Dear Perplexed: You have two simple options: Either call your parents once a day to check on them and let them hear your voice, or turn your cellphones on vibrate and call them back when you feel like it. Both choices are perfectly reasonable. Many grown kids call their parents daily just as a kindness. We think it’s worth five minutes of your day to reassure your folks that you are OK -- and to stop them from driving you nuts. Dear Annie: For many years, I have used the same beautician to cut my hair. She became a good friend in the process. However, about a year ago, my hair just wasn’t “cooperating” with her cuts, so I tried a different beautician and loved the results. Now I’m torn. I’d like to continue with the new stylist, but I don’t want to lose an old friend. How do beauticians feel about their clients when they try someone else’s styles? And how do I tell my friend without hurting her feelings? -- Uneasy About Switching Dear Uneasy: We imagine your friend wouldn’t be thrilled to know you have given your business to someone else, although if she sees you as a true friend and not simply as a paying client, she will get over it. But why don’t you first show her your new style and ask whether she can duplicate it? It could solve the problem with less angst. Dear Annie: I read all the responses to “Your Husband” about who is at fault in the bedroom. I’ve been married for 27 years. I am in good shape, work 50 hours a week, do a lot of the cooking and help clean. My wife works part time out of the house. Yet, when it comes to a relationship in or out of the bedroom, she ignores me. I have tried to get her to talk, but she won’t. I have tried to do little things to show her that I love and appreciate her, but she always takes them the wrong way. It makes me a little gun shy to keep asking. Men have feelings, too. We need attention from our spouses as much as they do. I have thought about what it would be like to find a little on the side, but have resisted. There is an old saying that I once read: “A woman makes all the rules, and a man is not to know the rules. If she suspects he knows the rules, she is to change all or some of the rules.” It’s not so funny now. -- Irritated in Clarendon Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Money launderers staying ahead of Canada’s effort to catch them Canadian Press
OTTAWA — Canada is losing the battle against money laundering and terrorist financing, according to a new Senate Committee report. Money laundering in Canada in 2011 was estimated to be worth between $5 billion and $15 billion, and 287 cases of terrorist financing were uncovered between 2007 and 2011. The Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce came to their conclusion after a year-long review of Canada’s mechanisms for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The committee found Canada’s policies to be lagging behind the criminals they are supposed to be catching. It recommended that a supervisory body, led by the Department of Finance, be established to keep a closer eye on Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regime. This body would update Parliament annually in regards to its investigations, prosecutions and spending.
Financial institutions must currently report transactions exceeding $10,000. The committee recommended that this threshold be eliminated for international electronic transfers. Funding of terrorism is often done with multiple deposits of smaller sums of money. The committee also suggested that this body could funnel seized money into a special fund used to finance anti-laundering efforts, effectively using the launderers’ money against them. Money laundering is the process whereby illicitly produced money is made “clean,’’ and much harder to trace. The practice is often linked to terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime. It’s been a criminal offence in Canada since 1989. Since then money laundering has become much more international and Canada’s counter-measures have struggled to keep up. In recent years, debit and credit card fraud has been gradually overtaking mass marketing fraud.

Thieves tapping Maine maple trees A s s o c i at e d P r e s s
PORTLAND, Maine — Thieves are illegally tapping maple trees on private property in Maine and stealing sap that is used to make maple syrup. Forest Ranger Jeff Currier says the Maine Forest Service has gotten a dozen complaints from landowners find-

ing taps in their trees with buckets or jugs underneath to collect the sap. Currier says he first started getting sap theft reports about five years ago, but says the number of complaints is up this year. No arrests have been made, but the culprits could face theft, malicious mis-
chief and trespassing charges. A typical tap produces enough sap to yield about a quarter-gallon of syrup. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says a gallon of Maine syrup has sold for about $50 a gallon on average at retail in recent years.

Deer bolts from trunk, shocks cops Associated Press
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Talk about junk in the trunk. A public safety officer checking a suspicious car parked behind a southwestern Michigan motel early Tuesday was more than a little surprised when a deer climbed out of the trunk, stumbled onto the road and bolted into nearby woods. The driver told Kalamazoo officer David Miller he hit the deer on the road — thought he had killed it — and was taking it home for his family to eat. Squad car dashboard camera footage shows Miller opening the trunk, then quickly trying to close it as he spots the deer. The animal escapes from the trunk, rear first, stumbles and rolls, then dashes off. Lt. Stacey Geik says the collision probably just stunned the deer.

Bill Bennett OUR CHOICE FOR THE EAST KOOTENAY Victoria is a long way from the East Kootenay, both in distance and in culture. Sometimes it seems that the things we value in rural BC aren’t priorities in the Lower Mainland. That’s why we need an MLA who is strong, passionate and knows how to get things done. Bill hikes, hunts, fishes, quads, snowmobiles, skis and golfs. Bill Bennett understands outdoor issues and shares our values here in the East Kootenay and he’s proven he’ll stand up for them. That’s why his constituents have nicknamed him “Kootenay Bill” For a strong voice in Victoria, on May 14th GO WITH BIll.
