Groups call for ban on new Elk Valley coal mining
U.S. report shows high levels of selenium in Elk River; Province, Teck considering water diversion and treatment strategies BARRY COULTER
A U.S. study released earlier this month has found that high levels of selenium have leached into the Elk River from the region’s open pit coal mines.
An environmental group coalition is as a result calling for a moratorium on new coal mining in the Elk Valley. Dr. Ric Hauer of the Flathead Lake Biological Station of the University of Montana
issued a March 2 study comparing water quality in the Elk and neighbouring Flathead River Basins. Commissioned by Glacier National Park, the study found nitrogen levels at 1,000 times the
background rate, sulphate levels at 40-50 times the background rate, and selenium levels at 7-10 times background rate. A press release from the Sierra Club of B.C. said the
researchers tested above and below mines “and used the pristine water quality of the nearby Flathead River to determine background levels and ascertain what aquatic life would normally be pres-
ent in the Elk River were it not so polluted.” “The science is clear: selenium from the mines has polluted the river to levels known to be dangerous to fish,” said John Bergenske, Executive Director of the East Kootenay environmental group Wildsight. “The selenium bio-accumulates and could lead to fish population collapse because it affects reproductive organs in fish. Eating them could also affect human health.”
“The science is clear: selenium from the mines has polluted the river to levels known to be dangerous to fish.” John Bergenske Wildsight
“We understand the concerns of the Americans, and we need to take a valleywide approach to this problem.” Terry Lake BC Minister of Environment
would have a meaningful, positive influence on agriculture and the agricultural economy of the East Kootenay,” said Struthers.
“There should be a moratorium on new coal mining in the Elk until the far-reaching impacts of existing mines are addressed,” said Sarah Cox, Interim Executive Director for Sierra Club BC. “Projects like the Line Creek coal mine expansion and proposed Bingay coal mine would only increase toxic pollution in the Elk. We need to take a big step back and look at how this area is managed as a whole.” “The high concentrations of sulphates and selenium in waters downstream of coal mines represent a significant threat to the ecological integrity of these streams and rivers,” the U.S. report said.

PHOTO COURTESY FORT STEELE HERITAGE TOWN
The Fort Steele Spring Camp was held this week, Monday, March 18 to Friday, March 22. The children have taken part in learning what happens at Fort Steele on a daily basis. They’ve been learning how to cook, bake, blacksmith, livestock duties, carpentry work (where they have made their own bird houses), and now they are experts in their sewing techniques thanks to the dress shop ladies. Local artist Marilyn Oliver came out to guide the children with some small projects. Their week ended with some acting in the Wildhorse Theatre. These are just some of the activities the children have been taking part in. Fort Steele has one-day Pro-D camps coming up in April and May, so call for more information at 250-417-6000.
Survey seeks direction for local agriculture
Complete a survey online to influence the first stages of the EK Agricultural Plan before March 31 SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Agricultural producers, consumers, retailers and suppliers can take part in surveys for the East Kootenay Agricultural Plan.
Dave Struthers, consultant for the agricultural plan, gave Cranbrook city council a run-down of the broad process at the Monday, March 18 meeting. “The purpose of the plan
here in the East Kootenay is really focused on action oriented, practical recommendations that are things the regional district can feasibly implement,” said Struthers. “It has some pie-in-the-sky
elements, but the real focus of it is to try and come up with some practical things that are within the purview of the regional district – policies, regulations, initiatives they could undertake that

Lace up those joggers – it’s time to register and prepare for the Spring Honda Fun Run. Coming up on Saturday, May 11, the five-kilometre and 10-kilometre race brings runners, walkers and their families together for a fun event. “The Fun Run has been under the Spring Honda umbrella for three years. This is a
branch out of the EK10K which has a long history. It had a twoyear lull then we took it over,” said Rhiannon Chippett, one of a team of four volunteer organizers that also includes Christie Kennedy, Tegan Bova and Charlotte Spring. The Fun Run, sponsored by Spring Honda, is a fundraiser for the B.C. ALS Society. ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) is a
progressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed. “The other three girls, their families have all been impacted by ALS. That was a charity that was close to their hearts so that’s what was picked,” said Chippett. This year’s event will begin at 9 a.m. with a kids race for children too young to take part
in the 5K or 10K race. “We are hoping to get more kids involved. It’s just going to be a toonie with no advance registration,” said Chippett. “It’s the same day as the Children’s Festival this year so we are hoping lots of people will come up to our event first.” The main race will begin at 10 a.m. Starting at the College of the Rockies track, the route takes runners past East

United Way says thanks for 2012 campaign An appreciation breakfast recognized those who donated and the funded agencies that support Cranbrook and Kimberley Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
After topping out its $115,000 campaign goal for 2012 at $123,000, it was time for the United Way of Cranbrook and Kimberley to celebrate on Thursday, March 21. The organization held an Appreciation Breakfast at The Heritage Inn on Thursday morning to bring together the businesses that gave so generously in 2012, and the agencies that use that funding to provide services to residents of Cranbrook and Kimberley in all stages of life. “We realized a number of successes in 2012,” said Donna Brady Fields, United Way’s executive director. “We are very pleased with that and it is due to our workplace campaigns, mainly out of Canfor but also our various local campaigns. “Community support is crucial to our annual campaign and we challenge each of you to support United Way and encourage the community to get involved.” United Way recognized each of the businesses that contributed to the successful 2012 campaign, with special mention to Canfor which saw 80 per cent of employees take part in the workplace campaign, and Falkins Insurance which began a workplace campaign in 2012. Other organizations in Cranbrook and Kimberley which were recognized for a workplace campaign are: Community Connections Society of Southeast BC, Cranbrook Society of Community Living, Finning Cranbrook and Sparwood, RBC branches in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Creston, Fernie and Sparwood, ICBC, SNC Lavalin, BC Hydro, Bank of Montreal, BC Assessment, Canadian Pacific Railway, CIBC, College of the Rockies, HSBC, Regional District of East Kootenay, Service Canada and TD Canada Trust. Mayor Wayne Stetski,
a director of the United Way board, thanked all those who made donations in 2012. “You really do make Cranbrook a better place to live,” he said. “Thank you for caring.” During the breakfast, the 13 agencies that United Way funded through the 2012 campaign were individually recognized for the services they provide to the community. Those agencies are: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook; Bellies to Babies; the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club; Cranbrook and Kimberley Daybreak programs; the F.W. Green Memorial Home; Kimberley Special Care Home; Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice; Cranbrook Hospice Society; the Hospice Society of the Columbia Valley; Cranbrook Society for Community Living; the East Kootenay PARTY program; and Options for Sexual Health. “United Way has been consistent supporters of the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club and on behalf of the children we support, I would like to thank you for donating to us,” said Club executive director Gord Johnston. “Without the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club wouldn’t survive – we wouldn’t be where we are today.” “It’s not just that cheque,” said Dana Osiowy of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook. “We get a lot of support and mentorship from United Way.” Board chair Bev Campbell explained the impact of United Way in Cranbrook, Kimberley and all over Canada. “Few people who donate realize they are part of a Canada-wide event. The money that is donated is spent in the community and one in three people benefit from the services we provide,” said Campbell. “We are so passionate about United Way because of its impact on the community.”

Survey seeks agricultural input Continued from page 1 A steering committee for the plan was struck 18 months ago. Since then, it has completed an agricultural land use inventory of around 7,000 parcels inside the Agricultural Land Reserve in the East Kootenay – what, if anything, is growing on those parcels, and a description of the land, for example whether it is forested, sloped, grassland etc. At the moment, the steering committee is seeking public
input before it finalizes a background report which will contribute to the final agricultural plan. There have been eight public meetings across the East Kootenay, with 170 people taking part, Struthers said. “The key themes that came out of that discussion are not unique to the East Kootenay and are prominent in agriculture communities throughout
B.C. and the rest of Canada,” said Struthers. People raised concerns about the economic viability of existing farms and ranches, the growing disconnect between producers and consumers, agricultural extension and support services, marketing and branding, farm demographics and succession planning, government policies and regulations, and more. Surveys are online at www. ekag.ca until the end of March.

Baby teeth are important too • Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the toothpaste. • Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child. Healthy teeth and gums are important for your child’s health and well-being. Establish healthy habits early to set your child up for a lifetime of good dental health.
Keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confidence and play a significant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth. Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavities). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities. Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look. Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a problem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.
The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health. Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too. Set your child up for good dental health: • Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth. • Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older. • Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child. • Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specific time (after a bath or before a book); in a specific location (mom’s knee); or with specific cues (music, counting).
• Regardless of age, discourage grazing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sipping on milk-filled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fill them with water instead. • Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth. • The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fix. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly. • Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; difficulty concentrating; and avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods. • The first dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the first tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.
For more ways to help your child benefit from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit www.bcdental.org.
Teck mining operations in the Elk Valley.

Report claims high selenium levels in river Continued from page 1 “This should be of great concern to both Environment Canada and the U.S. EPA, as the Elk is a tributary to the Kootenai River and Lake Koocanusa, which flows into the U.S.A. in western Montana.” Terry Lake, Minister of Environment, told the Townsman Thursday that the Province is working on a “valley-wide solution,” in consultation with the other parties involved. “We’ve known this is a challenge for some time now,” Lake said. “We’ll all been sharing information, and what we’ve got is a hundred years of mining that has created a challenge — in particular with (selenium), which in the past we didn’t have the technology to measure. “We understand the concerns of the Americans, and we need to take a valley-wide approach to this problem. But if we were to shut down mining entirely, then we’d have a problem.” Lake said the Province had been in consultation with industry and federal and U.S. government counterparts, and a two-point solution is being considered. The first, Lake said, is to divert water away
from the waste rock, so that the acids and metals don’t leech into the water. The second is to treat the water — to create treatment plants, for example, to remove metals like selenium from the water. “This will take time and money,” Lake said. “But we all recognize the problem.” He added that Teck has been very cooperative in this matter. Teck Resources, which operates five coal mines in the Elk Valley, issued a statement to the Townsman Thursday. “At Teck, we take environmental issues very seriously,” it reads. “That is why we are taking action through our Valley-wide Selenium Management Action Plan, which is one of the largest water quality management programs of its kind in the world. The plan outlines significant measures, based on extensive scientific research, to protect aquatic health while supporting sustainable mining activities in the Elk Valley. Teck also referred to the water diversion and treatment strategies. “Over the next five years, Teck will invest up to $600 million on the installation of water di-

version and treatment facilities, investments in research and development to improve selenium management, and ongoing aquatic monitoring. “Our operations in the Elk Valley employ over 4,000 people directly and support thousands of families and communities that rely on the industry across our province,” Teck’s statement said. “We’re focused on working cooperatively to implement solutions that address this important issue, while also ensuring we can continue to operate responsibly and support jobs and economic opportunity in the Kootenays.” Groups calling for the mining moratorium are Wildsight, Sierra Club BC, CPAWS-BC and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. The four groups are also urging the B.C. government to dedicate a park in the southeastern one-third of the Flathead River Valley, adjacent to Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. “We need a comprehensive long-term plan that reconciles the region’s world-class wildlife and wilderness values with its coal resources,” added Wendy Francis, Program Director for Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. “The plan should ensure protection of human health, wilderness recreation, international fisheries, water quality and core habitat values, as well as wildlife connectivity from the Flathead River Valley to Banff National Park.”

Literacy begins at birth, and lasts a life-time Early literacy development begins the moment a child is born. Every touch, word and image helps build the skills each child needs to become a life-long learner. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in life and it is every parent’s wish to have his or her child become a confident and resilient adult. Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers and so they need the support and resources to help them be the best teachers they can. The often-used quote ‘play is the work of children’ is so true but one that parents, unfortunately, often forget when they are busy. To succeed a child needs to play. Play is not watching television, cartoons or movies — while many are educational and beneficial for a child without other supports or resources, they should be used in moderation. Ideally a parent will watch the program with the child, interacting with the characters along with the child and then encouraging the child to explore what they have learned by using their environment. If the program was about castles, then encourage the child to explore making their own — as simple (cushions surrounding a chair) or as complex (building something) as they are able. Parents of very young children encourage literacy through singing, speaking and playing with their children. Rhymes, stories, crafts — all provide everyday learning opportunities. Speaking to your child encourages the child to talk and helps the child develop language skill, and exposure to more than one language increases the child’s ability to develop verbal and
cognitive skills. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) manages the two StrongStart programs hosted at Amy Woodland Elementary School and Steeples Elementary School — both are free and welcome all pre-school aged children along with a parent or caregiver. Starting in April, Amy Woodland will be open Monday, Wednesday – Friday 8:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m and Tuesdays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a free light lunch provided. Thursdays at Amy Woodland are devoted to Science Camp and Wednesdays feature cooking. At Steeples join other parents and caregivers Monday – Tuesday and Thursday – Friday 9-12 noon and Wednesdays 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. for Evening StrongStart with a free light dinner provided and lots of gym time. Evening StrongStart ends April 24 when morning openings will resume. Tuesdays at Steeples is devoted to Arts Camp. Gym time for gross motor development is available throughout the week at both centres. There are other free family play programs in Cranbrook — check them out! When children reach kindergarten, they may know the alphabet, be familiar with the letters in their own name, be able to count to 10 and recognise single digit numbers. These skills are key milestones and family literacy programs assist parents in helping their child to further develop these abilities. Once a child enters school, parents want to be supportive as their children develop and mature and there are programs in Cranbrook to help parents continue to be a vital resource for their child’s development and success in life. In April CBAL presents a 10 week PALS program (Parents as Literacy Supporters)

geared for parents with children in kindergarten to Grade 2. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring together parents to learn tips and strategies to help their children succeed. Ktunaxa elders will attend to explore Ktunaxa culture and community with participants. This new free program starts Tuesday April 9, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at the Chief Joseph Centre on Baker Street. Dinner is provided and the whole family is invited to attend. A program for older children is CBAL’s popular Family Science Nights, starting April 9 at the Cranbrook Public Library, for children aged 9-12 who are having trouble in science and math or simply ‘don’t like it.’ Five areas of science are explored including math, chemistry and physics, all in a relaxed atmosphere and doing fun activities. Parents are provided with tips and strategies to help their children develop their scientific skills. This free program runs 6:15 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. for five sessions. This is not science club but a way to expose children and their parents to the fun side of science. For those needing help with school work, Homework Help is offered for any schoolaged child in Cranbrook at TM Roberts School on Tuesdays 3 p.m. 4:30 p.m. A qualified teacher is the facilitator with a specialty in French language. All CBAL programs are free. For PALS and Family Science Night, pre-registration is appreciated as space is limited. For more information about CBAL programs in Cranbrook or to register please call Katherine at 250-4172896 or email khough@ cbal.org.

Small parties stake out turf Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – As the NDP widens its lead over the governing B.C. Liberal Party in a new poll, the B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Green Party are hoping an early rollout of their policy platforms will help their support grow. An Angus Reid Public Opinion poll released Thursday showed the NDP the choice of 48 per cent of decided voters, up one point since February. The B.C. Liberals were down three points to 28 per cent of decided voters. The B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Greens were both up slightly in voter intention, tied at 11 per cent support. The poll surveyed 809 B.C. adults March 18 and 19, claiming a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 per cent. The B.C. Conservatives released their platform Thursday, describing it as a “living document” that could change before the May 14 provincial election. It devotes much of its 28 pages to criticizing the province’s 20-year record on taxes, spending and debt. As party leader John Cummins has signalled, the platform promises the elimination of the
Vancouver Metro
Green Party leader Jane Sterk
five-year-old carbon tax on fossil fuels. It emphasizes the disproportionate impact the tax has on rural and northern parts of B.C., but does not specify if offsetting income tax cuts would be reversed to make up the revenue to the province. The B.C. Conservative pledge to balance budgets is emphasized, but the platform doesn’t identify any reduced spending or tax increases. It decries the low health care spending relative to other provinces, and also calls for an unspecified increase in justice system budgets. The B.C. Green Party’s 40page platform contains many promises, from creating

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins
“green-collar jobs” to doubling B.C.’s park area to 20 per cent over the next 100 years. The Green platform is also described as a “living document,” released last November and updated at the end of January. It also lacks costing for an array of costly policies, including 24-hour medical clinics in rural areas and replacing all existing income assistance programs with a “guaranteed liveable income” for everyone. The Greens also vow to reduce taxes on businesses that promote health, phase out medical premiums and eliminate gambling in B.C.

Why Isn’t There a War on Easter?
W
hy haven’t these clever secularists tried to take over Easter just like they’ve allegedly hijacked Christmas? What’s taking them so long? Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly deciphered the secret scheme to de-Christian Christmas. On his Christmastime program last year he said, “I absolutely agree 100 percent that the diminishment of Christianity is the target and Christmas is the vehicle because the secularists know the opposition to their agenda—legalized drugs is in that as well—comes primarily from the Judeo-Christian traditionalist people.” Smother the Christmas and then couples with two grooms will get survivor benefits! Afterwards it’s meth and abortions for all! A reasonable plan. Every year O’Reilly and his ilk talk about this plot, evidenced by major retailers using the phrase “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” Of course “holiday” is a contraction of “holy days,” so their dander is clearly canned snow. But that doesn’t stop it from showing up every December. Part-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin recently announced her bandwagon hop onto the seemingly one-sided War on Christmas with her upcoming book, “A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas.” (Which is like saying, “A happy Administrative Assistant’s day IS a joyous Secretary’s Day!”) In a statement, Palin said the book “will encourage all to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our faith and ignore the politically correct
Scrooges who would rather take Christ out of Christmas.” Dickens’ Ebenezer Scrooge was a rich miser who had contempt for the poor and the working class. He would totally be against food stamps, social security and Medicare. In short, Scrooge, like Palin, would likely be invited to speak at CPAC and other Americans for Prosperity-sponsored conferences. Palin would hang out with Tina Scrooge in the greenroom. But let’s say those who Dupuy are convinced there’s an effort to downgrade Christmas by not commercializing the religious aspect enough are right—why have these cunning secularists left Easter untouched? Why does the outrage machine not crank up around the end of February to “take back Easter from the godless?” After all, Easter is named after the Teutonic goddess of fertility, Eostre. So Walmart using the term “Happy Easter” isn’t playing up the Christian part of the holy day. Eggs are pagan symbols of fertility. Same with bunnies (as in “reproduce like a”). It’s ripe to accuse secularists of trying to make it more about spring and re-birth than Jesus’ resurrection. So why haven’t they? I’ll try to answer that with numbers. Americans spend about $16 billion on Easter ($2 billion just on candy) and on Black Friday (Friday named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Frige), the day after Thanksgiving which marks the beginning of the Christmas buying season, Americans spend around $52 billion. In total we spend
in the area of $500 billion on Christmas. There is a “war on Christmas” because there are spoils to be had over Christmas. There’s a giant Christmas pie and each slice is worth fighting for. If Easter raked in nearly half a trillion in sales, the outragemeisters would suddenly claim it was under attack by pagans trying to obscure the Christian message by making it about pastel colored eggs. Yes, there would be books, possibly one by Palin’s ghostwriter, about the War on Easter and the over-commercialization of the holy day means you need to buy the book. Better yet, buy some as gifts—there’s a price break at 10! This stems from the prosperity gospel. It’s where Christians conflate Jesus with Ayn Rand and believe that wealth is a sign of god’s grace and poverty is proof of his contempt. It makes for profit-seeking prophets. So instead of indignation that materialism is corrupting the message of Christ, the umbrage is aimed at mall Santas having the gall to sit near signs reading, “Happy Holidays!” So why isn’t there a war on Easter? Because there’s really no money in it. It’s not worth the fight since there’s so little payoff. It’s the same reason no one has ever invaded Antarctica. But conversely, if there were a plan to destroy Christian holidays, Easter would be a great place to start. The self-appointed watchmen are too busy cashing in on Christmas to notice.

An undated aerial view looking south along Cranbrook St. towards Baker St. shows the close proximity of the Sash & Door Co. and accompanying sawdust piles (centre right) to the residential and business section. Kootenay and Van Horne Streets are mostly dirt roads while the former Central School stands prominently centre left. A few of the foreground houses remain today.
The Cranbrook Sash & Door Factory: The Early Years
It
JANUS: Cranbrook Then & Now
Jim Cameron is safe to say that Thomas Leask was a man of vision. Vision was what was required when viewing Joseph’s Prairie in May, 1898. For Thomas, it was the fact that a town was to be built. A town requiring lumber — lots of lumber. That required a lumber mill and that, in turn, fell handily under the domain of Thomas Leask. He wasn’t the only Leask to grab the future of Cranbrook by the lapels and give it a shake. His brothers George, John, James and Andrew all made their way to Cranbrook in the early days. They were hard-working, second-generation Scottish craftsmen and all were involved in the construction business: Thomas cut the lumber, George constructed the buildings, John, the tailor, constructed the clothes and both Andrew and James joined in where needed, including forays into the sale of general merchandise. Thomas’ main thought upon viewing the lonely prairie was to send for the sash and door machinery from his family mill in Ontario and get to work. He secured a plot of land on the west side of the railway tracks and by late October he had the necessary equipment
on the site. Manufacture of sashes (windows) and doors began soon thereafter with construction to enclose the Leask Brothers buildings to follow. It was not the only lumber company in town, of course, but its selling point was the manufacture of precisely-milled wood finishing products at a lower cost than imported items. By early 1899, the factory was running at full capacity and, being the only company of its kind in the southeast Kootenay, filling orders throughout the district. The following spring, J.C. Slater of Waterdown, Ontario, arrived to take charge of the inside millwork, leaving Thomas free to attend to outside business. The first of a number of brothers to move to the city, Mr. Slater soon formed a partnership with Mr. Leask. With additional Slater brothers Ferdinand, Ed, and William settling near the mill, the area gradually became known as Slaterville. In April, 1900, more land (five acres all told) and equipment was purchased in order to build a sawmill adjoining the sash and door factory. One week after construction began the Leask & Slater Lumber Co. was employing 30 men and turning out up to 20,000 feet of lumber per day. The enterprise received a commercial stamp of approval in September, 1900, when the CPR put in a railway siding at the mill, saving the half-mile wagon trip to load the railcars.
The Sash and Door Factory name, as such, came into existence in November, 1902, when Leask & Slater, at the top of their game, sold their interests to a co-operative association formed by their employees H. A. McKowan, C. Gaskill, E. Slater and M. Johnson. The original owners continued to run the sawmill until a buyer could be found. August, 1903, saw the sawmill and accompanying timer limits — approximately 9,000 acres — sold to John Hanbury’s manufacturing company of Brandon, Manitoba, although the sawmill continued under the management of J. C. Slater. The day of the small, independent lumber yard was slowly and inexorably drawing to a close. The Sash & Door Factory continued to grow and prosper, purchasing 8,000 acres of timber rights near Elko in the spring of 1904 and erecting a sawmill there. Later in the year a new ownership comprised of H.A. McKowan, Albert and William Slater, Allan Nicholson and John Spence re-formed as the Cranbrook Sash & Door Co., a name that would hold a place of prominence in the local lumber industry for decades to come. The entire factory was powered by a 50-horsepower engine which also ran the fire pump connected to hoses throughout the complex. The machinery included molders, planers, scroll saws, band saws, fret saws, lathes, sanders, mortise and tenon machines and trimmers and a drying kiln
with a capacity of 50,000 feet of lumber. The complex formed a visible skyline to the immediate northwest of the city which would remain for many years. By 1905, the Sash and Door Factory, employing about 25 men, was booming right along with the city of Cranbrook. Many of the older homes around town still feature products of the mill: windows and doors, fancy turnings, stairways, balusters, newel posts, grille work, church pews and windows, school and office desks, fancy brackets, porch work of all kinds, office and bar fittings, mantle pieces, gable ornaments, screen doors, lath, shingles, flooring, siding, ceilings, store fronts, carved wood work of all kinds and stained, coloured, leaded, plate, frosted and art glass. As the community grew in both size and wealth so, too, did the larger homes and businesses require appropriate adornment and the Sash & Door Co. was on the job. In the ensuing years Thomas Leask continued to work in the lumber and construction business throughout the district. It may be said that he died with his boots on, suffering a heart attack in February, 1930, while constructing a house opposite the old St. Eugene Hospital. Survived by his wife Ann (née Boyter), daughters Mary, Margaret and Dorothy and his son William, Thomas Leask along with his brothers and the Slaters, left an architectural legacy that may be viewed to this day throughout the city.

Lupul suspended two games for illegal check to Tampa’s Hedman TORONTO - The NHL suspended Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul for two games Thursday following his hit to the head of Tampa Bay defenceman Victor Hedman. The incident occurred 45 seconds into the third period of Toronto’s 4-2 win on Wednesday night. Lupul received a two-minute minor penalty for an illegal check when he hit Hedman in the head after the defenceman passed the puck in the neutral zone. It was just Lupul’s second game back after missing 25 contests with a broken arm. He scored three goals in those two games. Lupul will forfeit US$45,945.94 in salary. He has no history of supplemental discipline in his nineyear career. Canadian Press
Brodeur scores 3rd career goal in Devils’ 4-1 win against Hurricanes RALEIGH, N.C. - Martin Brodeur scored his third career goal and made 17 saves in his first game in a month, leading the New Jersey Devils to a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. Brodeur had been out since Feb. 21 with a pinched nerve in his upper back and neck. New Jersey went 3-8-2 in his absence. Peter Harrold, Adam Henrique and Andrei Loktionov also scored to help the Devils snap a threegame losing streak. Jeff Skinner had the Hurricanes’ lone goal while Dan Ellis made 19 saves.

Outage during Super Bowl caused by malfunction of relay device NEW ORLEANS - A partial power outage during this year’s Super Bowl occurred because a relay device with a design defect malfunctioned, an outside expert confirmed Thursday. Entergy, which supplies electricity to the Superdome, and the stadium’s management company hired forensic engineer John Palmer to perform an independent analysis of the Feb. 3 outage. Palmer is president of Palmer Engineering & Forensics in Kaysville, Utah. Entergy has said it believed the outage was caused by an electrical relay device that it installed specifically to prevent a power failure at the dome. Palmer’s report says the primary cause of the disruption was a malfunction or “misoperation” of the relay. Associated Press
IOC ‘greatly impressed’ with Madrid 2020 bid; says costs are reasonable MADRID, Spain - The IOC believes the $1.9 billion construction costs for holding the 2020 Olympics in Madrid are “attainable” for the recession-hit country. With Spain sinking into a second recession in three years and with unemployment at 26 per cent, the financing of Madrid’s Olympic project was always going to be a key factor. Madrid organizers say 28 of the 35 venues are already built, meaning construction and infrastructure costs will be relatively modest. Madrid is competing against Tokyo and Istanbul. The panel has already visited the Japanese capital and will be in Istanbul next week. Associated Press

Vancouver to host World Cup gold-medal game MONTE STE WART Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - B.C. Place Stadium will host the first-ever World Cup soccer final on artificial turf in 2015. The Vancouver venue was named Thursday as the site for the 2015 Women’s World Cup championship game. All other senior women’s and men’s finals have been played on grass, say organizers. “There’s a lot of factors that go into (choosing the final venue),” said Steve Reed, a national organizing committee member following a news conference across the street from the stadium, which seats approximately 55,000. “The final match, certainly, we wanted to maximize the number of participants, the number of people that are in the seats. B.C. Place obviously has that
capacity.” Canadian organizers and FIFA, the sport’s world governing body, made the decision on the final venue jointly. Reed looked forward to building on the success of the soldout 2012 CONCACAF women’s Olympic qualifying tournament that was held at B.C. Place. He said the stadium’s new retractable roof, which was installed after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and upgraded suites and seats which meet FIFA standards also appealed to the governing body. All games during the CONCACAF tournament in January 2012 were sold out as only lower-bowl seats were open. During the World Cup, all seats will be available. “We’ve got good facilities across Canada,” said Reed. “But, I think,
at the end of the day, FIFA looked at B.C. Place and determined that that was obviously the best (place) for them.” Montreal and Edmonton will host semifinal games in the tournament that runs June 6 to July 5 in six Canadian cities.
“The venue is as good as you get anywhere in the world.” Bob Lenarduzzi “Vancouver for the final was part of trying to reach our goal of 1.5 million ticket sales,” said Sandra Gage, the event’s chief marketing officer. “There are really three venues of the six host cities that are capable of reaching that number for us because of their capacities, so (they)
would be Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. “And, really, Vancouver is probably the newest stadium in Canada right now (of the host venues), with its refurbishment. So we felt that it was the appropriate place to (host) the final.” FIFA has frowned on using artificial turf in major men’s events and professional leagues, because of concerns about a greater risk of injury. But Gage said the use of artificial turf has not been an issue in the women’s game. The Canadians, seeded No. 1 in the A pool, will open group play with two games in Edmonton and then move to Montreal for their next contest. Other nations will have similar schedules of two home and one away game in their first three contests. “That is done with travel times, distance, time zones to ensure
that (the schedule) is fair across the teams,” said Gage. In total, 52 matches will be played over 30 days with games also scheduled for Winnipeg, Ottawa and Moncton. “Each of the groups will have a No. 1 seed in them, so all of the markets will have a No. 1 seed playing in them at least two times,” said Gage. Vancouver Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said the selection of Vancouver as the final venue was a testament to the support displayed for the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament. “The venue is as good as you get anywhere in the world,” said Lenarduzzi. “The province is one of the most beautiful places to visit. So to be hosting the world in July of 2015 is a very exciting prospect.”
Canada’s Homan locks down a playoff spot GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press
RIGA, Latvia - A mediocre start nearly derailed Rachel Homan’s rink at the world women’s curling championship. The Canadian team stuck together early on as they battled nerves, a tough field and some challenging conditions at the Volvo Sports Center. The result is a solid third-place finish in the round-robin standings and a fourgame winning streak heading into the Page playoff 3-4 matchup. “They’re all feeling very comfortable, calm, focused and confident,” said Canadian coach Earle Morris. “Those are the kind of feelings you hope your team has when you’re going into the playoffs.” Entering play Thursday, Homan controlled her own playoff destiny but was still flirting with the cutline. She beat China’s Bingyu Wang 7-4 in the morning and locked up the third seed with an 8-4 win over Japan’s Satsuki Fujisawa in the afternoon. Canada’s next game is Saturday afternoon. Russia and Switzerland will play a tiebreaker
Friday morning with the winner to face the United States in the second tiebreaker with the fourth seed on the line. Homan and teammates Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and Lisa Weagle have been steady all week. Most games have been tight but the Canadians have shone in pressure situations. “The good news about having close games all the time is you’re constantly playing pressure shots,” Morris said. “That bodes well because come playoff time, you’re used to the pressure and it means you’ll make the tough ones in the playoffs as well.” Scotland and Sweden finished 10-1 and will meet in the Page playoff 1-2 game Friday night. The winner advances to Sunday’s gold-medal game while the loser plays the 3-4 winner in the semifinal Saturday night. The semifinal winner will play for gold and the loser will play the 3-4 loser for bronze Sunday. The playoff draw will be tough with both
2012 silver medallist Margaretha Sigfridsson of Sweden and fourtime world junior champ Eve Muirhead of Scotland in top form. Homan’s Ottawa rink is playing at the tournament for the first time. She said her teammates were determined to turn things around after a slow start. “We’ve had so much experience beating the top teams that we knew we had the ability,” she said. “So we just have to believe in our ability and stick with that, don’t look any farther
than that.” Morris feels the Canadians have regained the form that helped them post strong results all season and at last month’s Scotties Tournament of Hearts. “When we came here I remember saying to the girls, ‘All you have to do is keep doing what you’re doing,”’ Morris said. “Then we stumbled out of the gate and didn’t do what we had been doing. But now for the last four or five games I’ve said to them, ‘Guess what girls? You’re back to playing like you did in
the Scotties. So from here on in, just keep doing what you’re doing.’ “So it’s back to that message.” The China-Canada game was a defensive battle over the first eight ends. China scored two in the ninth but Canada had the hammer coming home. Homan used her last throw to take out a stone by the four-foot ring to score four for the win. Against Japan, the Canadians surged to a 7-1 lead after seven ends and were never really threatened.
Nova Scotia earns women’s final berth at senior curling championships C ANADIAN PRESS
SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. - Colleen Pinkney came into the 2013 Canadian senior curling championships hoping to duplicate her rink’s 2009 success at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club, and so far it’s been basically a carbon-copy performance. Pinkney and her teammates - third stone Wendy Currie, second stone Shelley MacNutt and lead Susan Creel-
man - clinched first place in the round robin on Wednesday afternoon. Pinkney’s 11-8 win over Nola Murphy’s P.E.I. representative from Summerside improved the Truro Curling Club rink’s record to 9-0. “That’s good news, I wasn’t sure about that,” said Pinkney after being informed her win against P.E.I. guaranteed a first-place finish.
“We will have a day where we can get a little rested, and be ready for Sunday.” The first-place teams after the round robin in both men and women’s play earn a bye directly into Sunday’s championship games. The secondand third-place teams will play in the semifinals on Saturday. B.C. currently sits with a record of four wins and five losses.

WHL playoff preview: Teams on the cusp of post-season action Eastern Conference
the defence, led by Reese Scarlett, have to shut down Calgary’s many weapons.
(1) Edmonton Oil Kings (8) Kootenay Ice The Oil Kings will be looking to repeat as they prepare to defend their WHL championship from last year. Edmonton has a solid team, with depth up front, in their defensive corps and in between the pipes. However, Kootenay’s record in the second half of the season has been one of the best in the conference, and the two teams split their regular season record at three wins apiece in six meetings. Defence wins championships, and the Ice will have to generate their offence by transitioning from their defensive game. With nine NHL draft picks on Edmonton’s roster, the Ice are the underdogs in this series. Kootenay needs everyone to take their game to the next level if they hope to upset the defending champions. (2) Saskatoon Blades (7) Medicine Hat Tigers The Saskatoon Blades are the centre of attention for WHL fans this year as they host the Memorial Cup and have an automatic berth in the tournament. After struggling through the first half of the season, the Blades made some trades—before and at the deadline—and set a franchise record with an 18-game win streak in the post-Christmas stretch. Medicine Hat will be looking for another series victory over the Blades, as the Tigers swept Saskatoon in four games last post-season. Medicine Hat will rely on players like Elgin Pearce, Curtis Valk and Hunter Shinkaruk for scoring, but they’ll have to break through a stingy Blades’ defence. (3) Calgary Hitmen (6) Swift Current Broncos The Hitmen have made their way towards the top of the conference standings by playing a solid overall team game. They get scoring from their stars such as Cody Sylvester and Brooks Macek, but also get help from secondary areas of the front lines. Special teams—powerplay and the penalty kill— could be a liability for Calgary, as the Hitmen dropped three out of four games against the Broncos. Swift Current will rely heavily on star Adam Lowry, who led the team in scoring and is dangerous anywhere on the ice. Finnish import Eetu Laurikainen will be key for the team as he mans the crease, while
(4) Red Deer Rebels (5) Prince Albert Raiders After struggling for a bit in the first half of the season, Rebels’ owner Brent Sutter came in and took over from head coach and general manager Jesse Wallin. The result? After making more than a few roster moves, the Rebels climbed up the ladder to finish fourth overall in the conference. Key for the club will be the continued excellence displayed by goaltender Patrik Bartosak, along with the offensive abilities of captain Turner Elson and Tyson Ness. Rhyse Dieno, who wasn’t even in the WHL in the fall, came in after Sutter’s takeover, and finished the season with the team’s scoring title. Prince Albert, after a hiatus from the post-season, is back in it this time around, after finishing near the bottom of the league last year. The Raiders have five plus-20 goal scorers on the roster, which will have to get by Rebels’ rearguard Mathew Dumba and his blue line teammates. Western Conference
The Portland Winterhawks didn’t let the heavy-handed sanctions from the WHL over alleged player benefit violations bother them as they set a franchise record with their most successful season in club history. Brendan Leipsic and Nic Petan both ended the season tied for the league scoring crown, with 120 points each, while defenceman Seth Jones got the conference nod for rookie of the year. The Winterhawks, in ten meetings with Everett this season, only lost one game. The Silvertips managed to make it into the post-season, despite their struggles with goal production. Goaltender Austin Lotz will be busy in net, as his team in front of him will have to find a way to shut down the Hawks’ high-octane offense.
PITTSBURGH - The fear is gone. The doubt too for that matter. Ditto the hesitation. A year into his comeback from the concussion-like symptoms that nearly derailed Sidney Crosby’s career, the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar is back atop the NHL scoring race thanks to his unparalleled mix of artistry, speed and grit. It wasn’t the avalanche of points - 50 and counting heading into Friday’s game against the New York Islanders - that let Crosby’s teammates know their captain was back at the top of his considerable powers. No, the proof lay in the tight places around the net where Crosby makes his living better than anyone else. “To play down low in the defensive zone against him is a nightmare,” Penguins forward Craig Adams said. “It’s a long way back, but I can’t imagine a guy playing better than he is right now. You can’t get the puck from him.” Perhaps because Crosby doesn’t have to worry about getting knocked around so much anymore. Don’t get him wrong, the game has never been faster. The players have never been big-
Kamloops comes into this series as the favourite, but Victoria will want some revenge after getting swept last year at the hands of the same opponent. For much of the season, the Blazers line of Colin Smith, JC Lipon and Tim Bozon were in the top-five of the WHL scoring race. The Royals, which had struggled with key injuries over the season, will be missing Alex Gogolev, a key piece of their offence. Victoria rookie netminder Patrik Polivka is also untested in the WHL post-season, and the Royals will need a big performance out of him.
The Chiefs enjoyed another strong season in the Western Conference, and bolstered their roster at the trade deadline with the addition of Alessio Bertaggia and Stewart Coyle. While forwards such as Todd Fiddler and Mitch Holmberg are dangerous, it was defenceman Brendan Kitchton who took the team’s scoring title. The Americans will rely on Justin Feser, who surpassed the century mark for points, to spark the team’s offence. HIghly touted NHL prospect Eric Comrie won’t be in manning the crease, as he had his season cut short by surgery in January. Backup Luke-Lee Knight has been filling those shoes and will need to bring his best game to the post-season. By: Trevor Crawley

Huska, which ended with the B.C. divisional title. Kelowna has offensive threats from players like Myles Bell, Dylen McKinlay and Zach Franko. However, the team will be missing star forward Colton Sissons, who suffered an injury late in the regular season.

ger and he’s never drawn more attention. Yet thanks to a series of rule changes made by the league and a shift in attitude by the guys wearing the sweaters, players say the NHL is as safe now as it’s perhaps ever been.
“I know it’s changed from my first couple years, that’s for sure. The game is much tighter.” Sidney Crosby “I can only speak to the games we played in, there’s been a difference,” Pittsburgh defenceman Brooks Orpik said. “I think guys are a little bit more conscious, a little more respectful.” In the 2-plus years since Crosby sustained a concussion following a blindside hit from Washington’s David Steckel in the 2011 Winter Classic, the league has outlawed shots to the head entirely and given senior vice-president of player safety Brendan Shanahan great leeway in handing out punishment for dangerous plays. Though Crosby says it’s still too early to tell whether the steps taken by the league have made
any impact on the number of concussions sustained by players, he does see evidence of guys playing more under control. “I know it’s changed from my first couple years, that’s for sure,” Crosby said. “The game is much tighter.” Crosby pointed to the average number of penalties as evidence that sticks, elbows, etc., aren’t flying quite as much as they used to. Teams are averaging 3.6 power-play opportunities a game this season, down from 5.8 per game during Crosby’s rookie year in 2005-06. Part of the decline can be attributed to the decreasing amount of open ice. After offences flourished following the 2004-05 lockout, the pendulum has swung back to more conservative, defensive-minded schemes. The result is more clutching and grabbing, sure, but also a decision by players to avoid the kind of unnecessary penalties that can tilt games. It doesn’t always lead to thrilling hockey, but it can lead to smarter, safer play. “Obviously everyone needs to protect their heads and do the right thing in that mindset,” Nashville forward David Legwand said. “But we also want to win hockey games and play the right way.”

Scotland sets Sept. 18, 2014, as date for independence vote Associated Press
LONDON — Scottish leader Alex Salmond has set Sept. 18, 2014, as the date for an independence referendum that could radically alter the shape of the United Kingdom, calling it a historic opportunity to create a better country. Salmond announced the date of the long-awaited vote to the Scottish Parliament on Thursday, saying it would be a day when Scotland takes “responsibility for our country, when we are able to speak with our own voice, choose our own direction and contribute in our own distinct way.’’ Salmond’s nationalist party wants Scots to become independent, ending more than 300 years of union with England. The Scottish leader argued that becoming a separate country would give Scotland a “new, more

keep Scotland in the United Kingdom, saying independence would create a deeply uncertain future. Scotland and England united in 1707 to form Great Britain, but Scotland gained significant autonomy after voting in 1997 to set up the Edinburgh-based Scottish Parliament, which has power over areas including education, health and justice. London retains control of defence, energy and foreign relations.

A ‘No’ vote means a future of governments we didn’t vote for, imposing cuts and policies we didn’t support. A ‘Yes’ vote means a future where we can be absolutely certain, 100 per cent certain, that the people of Scotland will get the government they vote for,’’ he told parliament. The British government is campaigning to
Telescope that eyes Big Bang’s afterglow shows universe is 80 million years older than thought Associated Press
PARIS — New results from a look into the split second after the Big Bang indicate the universe is 80 million years older than previously thought but the core concepts of the cosmos — how it began, what it’s made of and where it’s going — seem to be on the right track. The findings released Thursday bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second.
The Big Bang is the most comprehensive theory of the universe’s beginning. It says the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom when, in a split second, it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light. The European Space Agency’s Planck space probe looked back at the afterglow of the Big Bang, and those results have now added about 80 million years to the universe’s age, putting it 13.81 billion years old. The probe also found that the
cosmos is expanding a bit slower than originally thought, has a little less of that mysterious dark energy than astronomers figured and a tad more normal matter. The $900 million Planck space telescope was launched in 2009. It has spent 15 1/2 months mapping the sky, examining light fossils and sound echoes from the Big Bang by looking at the background radiation in the cosmos. The device is expected to keep transmitting data until late 2013, when it runs out of cooling fluid.
Montana considers allowing people to scrape up dead animals off roads for food Associated Press
HELENA, Mon. — Elk, deer, antelope and moose: If residents of one U.S. state can scrape it up off the road, they can eat it. Montana lawmakers are poised to say just that after the state Senate gave its initial support Wednesday to a bill that would allow people to salvage roadkill for food. The measure is now a final vote from heading to Gov. Steve Bullock. Supporters say it makes no
sense to let the carcasses go to waste. “It really is a sin to waste a good meat,’’ said state Sen. Larry Jent. The measure calls for law enforcement officers to issue permits to individuals who would be allowed to remove the carcasses of elk, deer, antelope and moose off the state’s roadways. The Western state, sometimes known as Big Sky Country, has plenty of rural roads and big animals that
wander across them. Opponents question whether the meat would be safe and whether it would create liability issues for food banks that accept it. Sen. Kendall Van Dyk said law enforcement officers are not qualified to decide whether roadkill is safe to eat. Cattle ranchers like Sen. Jim Peterson questioned how roadkill could be harvested for food when the cattle industry must follow strict federal regulations.

Flaherty budget puts brakes on spending Bruce Cheadle Canadian Press
OTTAWA — When Jim Flaherty was a young man, they called it a brake stand — one foot on the gas and one on the brake, creating lots of noise and plumes of blue smoke but moving the vehicle sideways if at all. Stephen Harper’s finance minister is banking that all the torque in his eighth federal budget, delivered Thursday, will propel the Canadian economy forward in a burst sometime next year. It’s all geared to a fall 2015 election date, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper hopes to woo Canadian voters with the first balanced federal budget since 2008. In the meantime, Flaherty’s foot remains firmly on the government spending brake in a 2013-14 fiscal blueprint that shuffles priorities, re-allocates resources and cracks down on tax cheats but adds no new money while continuing dramatic cuts to direct program expenses. Canadians have faith, Flaherty told the House of Commons in his budget speech, “that their government will be a benign and silent partner in their enterprise, not an overbearing behemoth squeezing them at every turn.’’ The deficit for the current fiscal year that ends in two weeks is projected to be $25.9 billion — exactly as forecast in the fall fiscal update but up significantly from the $21.1 billion posited by Flaherty in last March’s budget. Part of that bump comes from a one-time, $2.4-billion increase in Ottawa’s nuclear cleanup liability. Total spending, including debt-servicing charges, will rise to $282.6 billion this year, up less than one per cent on the 2012-13 spending envelope of $280.1 billion. That’s effectively a cut after inflation and population growth are factored in. More significantly, direct program expenses — which exclude major transfers to other levels of government — are projected to plunge almost $4 billion this year and another $2.5 billion in 2014-15. The exact nature of
those program cuts remains something of a mystery. The budget was delivered the same day the departing parliamentary budget officer, Kevin Page, was in Federal Court trying to force the government to release departmental details of spending cuts announced in 2011. “It’s very much a status quo budget,’’ said economist Derek Burleton of TD Bank. “Reallocation is a key theme.’’ The centrepiece of the document is a revamped plan for skills training to better align the Canadian workforce with employer needs. “For the first time, the Canada Job Grant will take skills-training choices out of the hands of government and put them where they belong, in the hands of employers and Canadians who want to work,’’ Flaherty told the House of Commons. The plan won’t kick in until April 2014 and is contingent on negotiations with the provinces, who are expected to foot the bill for a third of each $15,000 training grant, with Ottawa and the employer also chipping in $5,000 each. Skills training was moved to provincial jurisdiction in the last decade, and Ottawa’s more direct intervention may be construed as a sharp change of course. And after years of corporate tax cuts, the government continues to wrestle with flagging business innovation, introducing a series of new adjustments in an effort to promote manufacturing development. Other budget elements: • A renewed infrastructure fund worth $47 billion over 10 years, again starting in 2014. • $241 million over five years linking training programs to First Nations people collecting income assistance. • $100 million over two years to support housing construction in Nunavut. • Additional tax breaks for adoption-related expenses. • A proposal to hike fees for processing visa and citizenship applications. With its emphasis on deficit reduction, personal skills training and catching tax cheats, it is a
deeply conservative document. A number of Flaherty’s key assumptions, however, are decidedly not conservative. The 2013-14 budget anticipates that closing tax loopholes and chasing tax cheats will rake in half a billion dollars this year and rise to $1.3 billion the year after. The Canada Revenue Agency
is supposed to manage that feat while absorbing a $19-million budget cut this year and another $58 million in 2014. Flaherty’s officials assume GST revenues — which grew 1.8 per cent in 2012-13 — will rise 4.9 per cent annually and that corporate tax revenues will jump by 5.5 per cent a year, on average.
And they book in big savings from program cuts that are still working their way through the federal government. To meet these targets, the budget document says the “government will introduce legislation as needed to consolidate operations and eliminate redundant organizations.’’
The Canadian International Development Agency is to be absorbed into the department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. The forecast is that the federal deficit will fall to $18.7 billion this year, then plunge to $6.6 billion in 2014-15 in time to be balanced for 2015-16.
The Conservatives dangled several pricey promises during the 2011 election campaign that were contingent on them balancing the books, including tax-splitting for couples with children under 18, doubling the annual taxfree savings account limit and doubling the children’s tax credit.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can’t possibly be more enthusiastic than you already are. Your fiery personality mixes well with the present moment, and your creativity reaches a new level. Your interest in a situation adds an element of curiosity and possibly some mischief. Tonight: Only what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Friends have an unpredictable edge that keeps you alert. You simply don’t know what’s going to happen next. Cheer up an overserious partner who cares a lot about you. You might find that you are at the beginning of a project once again. Tonight: Close to home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use your excellent skills as a communicator. You will find that an element of surprise runs through your dealings, particularly those with authority figures. You might not want to discuss an issue in the same way with the same person. Tonight: Where the action is.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Recognize the importance of indulging a loved one. Your positive attitude, coupled with the fact that it is Friday, helps you create the optimism and cheerful attitude you like to exude and also receive. Choose the right invitation for you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) As you probably already know, there is no other sign like Leo when it comes to living the good life. The Moon in your sign brightens up your Friday and gives you plenty of possible plans to consider. The unexpected lurks, and it promises some wild moments. Tonight: Just let it be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take your time making decisions right now. There is an element of the unexpected on the loose, so make sure to buckle your seat belt. A partner enjoys surprising you. Even if it doesn’t feel like a surprise, show this person your appreciation with a smile. Tonight: To the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Go where your friends are. You
For Better or Worse
will have a good time, even if you must do some work. You can’t suppress your playful energy, but you can justify it because of the impending weekend. Schedule a late lunch, and factor in a celebration. Tonight: Follow the crowds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to check in with a parent or an older friend before making weekend plans. Catch up on news with this person over munchies. Cut out early in the afternoon if possible. Know that you will be the leader of the gang, no matter where you are. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Distant drumming beckons you, and you will want to follow. Make calls early, clear your desk and head out the door as soon as possible. You are on the path of adventure. Be an explorer, and try out a new, offbeat spot. Confirm meeting times and places. Tonight: Play out a dream. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to your instincts when following through with a partner. An investment might fall in your lap. Know that you don’t need
to answer immediately, as you might want to weigh the pros and cons. Bring in an expert if need be. Tonight: Count your change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your unpredictability emerges when dealing with money. You might want to figure out how to stop this pattern. Seek out good advice, even if it means listening to something you might not like to hear. If you really do feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Often when people come toward you, they find you to be rather spontaneous. In fact, they never seem to know what to expect when they are with you. You could be experiencing a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Reach out to a close friend for his or her advice or feedback. Tonight: Where there is music.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I grew up with a sister who had substance abuse problems. While I studied hard, “Carla” dropped out of school and led a life of partying. My parents always made sure she was well provided for. Every time they gave her something expensive, my mother would say, “Don’t worry, you will get the same in my will.” Then one day, my parents told me they had signed over the family home to Carla. She told them I had agreed to it, but I never discussed it with her. But when I said this to my parents, they yelled and screamed and called me a liar. They said it didn’t matter anyway because they would make it up to me in the will. They then told me the value of the house for the sake of the will, which was a quarter of its actual worth. I suggested they get the house appraised, and they became angry. They also lied to our relatives about what happened, although when my parents die, it will be obvious that I received nothing from them. Annie, I have been a good son to my parents for my entire life. How can they do this to me? This hurts so much that it’s the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning. I am ready to walk away from my family. I deserve better. - Left-Out Son Dear Left Out: You do deserve better, but your parents feel so guilty and obligated toward Carla that they give her everything in a misguided attempt to protect her from herself. You cannot fix this. But you can forgive them and move forward. Accept that you are not likely to get an equitable share of their estate. If there is a specific item that you would like to have, it’s OK to ask your parents whether you can have it now, and tell them that you do not expect anything more. Once the inheritance is off the table, you will be able to have a relationship with your parents based on who they are and not on what you deserve to get as a reward for being a good son. Dear Annie: I’ve been invited to the wedding of an old college friend who is gay. I am a Christian and believe that homosexuality is a sin. I will send my regrets. My question is: Do I send a gift? I know that traditional wedding etiquette says to send a gift when invited, but would a gift say I approve of and support her decision? What should I do? -- Reluctant Gift Giver Dear Reluctant: A gift does not indicate approval of the marriage. If that were the case, quite a few people would not receive one. You send a gift to wish your friend well. If you do not wish your friend well, and you do not attend the wedding, you do not need to send a card or a present. Dear Annie: This is for “Disappearing Connections,” the recently retired aunt who decided to “unburden” herself of possessions and offered some of her clothing to a niece. She’s now miffed because the niece has not thanked her. Stop it! You offered your niece a bunch of clothes you no longer wanted, and she was kind enough to accept them. Now you are acting like it was a gift and she needs to send you a thank-you note for stuff you didn’t want anymore. Go find a hobby, and give your clothes to a charity. Trust me, your niece does not want to wear clothes from an old lady. She was just being kind by accepting them in the first place. -- Been There Dear Been There: There is NO excuse for not acknowledging receipt of a package, especially when the niece asked to have the clothes. And the clothes were indeed a gift, regardless of where they originated. How unconscionably rude to thank someone only for those gifts you like. The niece should have said the package was received and thanked her aunt for taking the time to send it. Period.

CrossWalking: Showing our love for the city
N
ext Friday, Christians from different churches in Cranbrook will join together for the ninth annual Good Friday CrossWalk. It’s a spiritual pilgrimage through the streets of downtown Cranbrook. This is worship in the streets! We pray for our city, its leaders and all who live here. We pray for our nation and for the world. The CrossWalk begins at 10 am on Good Friday at the Clock Tower. From there, we will carry a cross through the downtown core of the city and stop at several locations. At each stop, we read a passage from Scripture and we pray together. Our prayers will embrace the city and its people, leaders and gov-
ernments around the world, our legal system, our health care system, caregivers of all sorts and those who need to be surrounded with prayer and compassion and grace. We pray for the victims and perpetrators of war and hatred. We pray for all whose lives need to be held up in the light of God’s love. We end with prayers for the churches and other faith groups, all who seek to live with peace and compassion in the world. We pray that we might learn to live and work together with compassion for the good of all people. Why do we do this? We do it as a faithful witness to the grace and compassion of God. We hold up our city in prayer so that God’s love
might surround and embrace us all with healing grace. We journey together, bearing witness to Jesus who comes to our world with a different vision of what a whole and healthy life looks like. God’s vision for the world is of a community of compassion and companionship. It’s a world where power resides in service and self– giving love, not in might and coercion. It’s a vision of healing and restoration so that all people may live together in peace with justice. Two thousand years ago, the despotic rulers of the Roman empire promised to bring peace. Largely, Caesar did—but it was a peace wrought through violence. They conquered and subjugated other
Yme Woensdregt nations, and as long as the populations there did what Rome wanted, everything was fine. Jesus proclaimed a different vision of peace, which does not come through violence, but through justice for all people. He imagined a world of healing and wholeness for all people. He lived this vision of peace which opened its arms to embrace all
people. He challenged Rome’s power, and that’s why he was executed. Rome did not take such challenges lightly. In our CrossWalk, in our prayers, we give voice to that vision. We don’t ask God to come crashing into our world to set everything right. Rather, as we pray, we make a fresh commitment to live by the gospel values of compassion, peace, justice and wholeness. Canadian theologian Douglas John Hall talks about prayer as “learning to see the world through God’s eyes.” As we pray, we learn to view the world with compassion and grace. We learn to seek justice for all people. We seek to live on this earth as
responsible and faithful people who care for one another and who care for the earth as well. CrossWalking is one way in which we renew our commitment to walk in the way of Jesus. It is a way that leads to a cross, since walking this path faithfully will bring us into conflict with the world and its values. God invites us to be partners in what John Dominic Crossan calls “God’s great cleanup of the world”. We work in partnership with God, so that the gospel values of love and compassion and justice might triumph in our own lives and in the world. God has a deep, abiding and profound love for the world. Our prayers for the city and all its people, for peace
and justice, for hope and healing, reflects our longing to participate in God’s passionate love affair with the world. As we journey through the city, we feel the burden of the cross we carry. At the same time, we experience the reality of its liberating power. We renew our commitment to the crucified and risen Christ as we commit ourselves to serve Cranbrook in love. Join us on Good Friday, March 29. We begin at the Clock Tower at 10 am. Come journey with us. Come pray with us. Come show your love for Cranbrook. Come carry the cross with us. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook.
Archbishop of Canterbury enthroned M at t D u n h a m Associated Press
LONDON — The new archbishop of Canterbury was formally enthroned Thursday — and questions about the Church of England’s opposition to same-sex marriage greeted his promotion. Justin Welby is the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, serving as head of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the world’s 77 million-strong Anglican Communion. Welby was formally enthroned at the 900-year-old Canterbury Cathedral in southern England before politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron and religious leaders. Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, also attended. Dressed in a cope, stole and a gold-colored silk mitre, Welby symbolically struck the cathedral’s west door three times with the end of his staff to formally request admission to the cathedral. As the doors opened slowly, a choir welcomed Welby with a psalm. Earlier in the day, Welby talked to the BBC about some of the issues that have dogged his predecessors and led to deep divisions within the church. He acknowledged
that many gays have enduring relationships of “stunning’’ quality — a fact he said that has “deeply challenged’’ his own views on gay marriage. He also predicted in a Channel Five interview that there will be a
female archbishop in the future despite the failure to pass legislation backing the idea last year. From Rome, Pope Francis sent a message congratulating Welby and calling for a meeting in the near future.
“Please be assured of my prayers as you take up your new responsibilities,’’ the pope said. At right: Justin Welby, the new Archbishop of Canterbury (Guardian).

Passing mention in ‘Argo’ rankles New Zealand Nick Perry Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Thirteen minutes into the Oscar-winning movie “Argo,’’ CIA agent Tony Mendez asks supervisor Jack O’Donnell what happened to a group of Americans when the U.S. Embassy was stormed in Tehran. “The six of them went out a back exit,’’ O’Donnell tells Mendez, played by Ben Affleck. “Brits turned them away. Kiwis turned them away. Canadians took them in.’’ That’s the only mention of New Zealand in “Argo,’’ but it is rankling Kiwis five months after the movie was released in the South Pacific nation. Even Parliament has expressed its dismay, passing a motion stating that Affleck, who also directed the film, “saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened.’’ New Zealand joins a list of other countries, including Iran and Canada, that have felt of-
The Oscar-winning film Argo has caused outrage among many New Zealanders. fended by the fictionalized account of how a group of Americans was furtively sheltered and secreted out of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The strong reaction in New Zealand indicates the country remains insecure about its own culture, said
Steve Matthewman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Auckland. People are prone to bouts of unwarranted outrage when somebody from abroad says something bad about the country, he said, and simpering enjoyment when they say
something good. “It’s touched a really raw nerve,’’ Matthewman said. “We do seem in New Zealand to be oversensitive to how the rest of the world perceives us.’’ The movie’s New Zealand reference may not be totally fair but has an element of truth.
RCAF asked to help transport three Toronto zoo elephants to California Michelle McQuigge Canadian Press
TORONTO — The Royal Canadian Air Force is considering a proposal to move three Toronto-based elephants to a new home in California, a national zoo watchdog said Thursday. Julie Woodyer, campaigns director with Zoo Check Canada, said she personally requested help from the military in order to ensure the pachyderms are relocated as soon as possible. However, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Forces said Thursday that “no such request has been received.’’ “The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces receive numerous requests each year for the use of military resources,’’ Capt. Kendrah Allison said in an email. City councillors voted last November to transfer the only three elephants still living at the Toronto Zoo to the Performing Animal Welfare Society sanctuary (PAWS) in San Andreas, Calif. by year’s end. The move has been delayed in part due to the logistics of transporting the three huge animals, Woodyer said, adding those challenges prompted her to get the air force involved. “There is no commercial option that is fully pressurized and
has the height of the door to accommodate the tallest crate, which is 10 feet eight inches,’’ Woodyer said in a telephone interview. “This would be the ideal situation.’’ Woodyer said she attended a meeting with both zoo and air force officials on Thursday morning. She said all parties seemed receptive to the idea of leaving the animals in military hands for the move, but said the decision would ultimately lie with Defence Minister Peter MacKay. A refusal would mean the elephants would have to travel by ground, she said. Allison said Thursday’s meeting was intended to assess and better understand the issues involved should a request be made for military help moving the elephants. “A determination is made based on factors such as the impact on Canadian Armed Forces operations, the availability of personnel and equipment, and legal and financial issues, as well as the impact on competing commercial enterprises,’’ Allison said. Transportation logistics are the latest headaches to plague relocation efforts for the zoo’s elephants. City and zoo officials originally clashed over where
Toka, Thika and Iringa should be housed due to concerns about tuberculosis at PAWS. City council accepted an independent infectious disease report from a specialist veterinarian which found that PAWS is a safe facility and meets the requirements of the due diligence process. Woodyer dismissed concerns that the three Toronto elephants would be exposed to tuberculosis, saying the disease was confined to one animal that would not be coming into contact with any new additions. “It’s essentially akin to saying you wouldn’t go to hospital with your child with a broken leg because there was somebody in another wing that had TB,’’ she said. “It’s ridiculous.’’ The tuberculosis issue did not come up at Thursday’s meeting, she said. Woodyer said the move to PAWS must take place some time within the next three months before temperatures become too hot for the elephants. U.S. officials peg the relocation costs at up to US$1 million, but PAWS will not be on the hook for the cost. Animal rights activist and former “The Price is Right’’ host Bob Barker has vowed to pick up the tab.
Some in New Zealand have taken those words — “Kiwis turned them away’’ — as implying the country did nothing to help. Published interviews indicate that diplomats from Britain and New Zealand did help by briefly sheltering the Americans, visiting them and bringing them food, even driving them to the airport when they left. Yet those interviews also indicate that both countries considered it too risky to shelter the Americans for long. That left the Canadians shouldering the biggest risk by taking them in. Lawmaker Winston Peters, who brought last week’s uncontested motion before Parliament, said New Zealanders are unfairly portrayed as “a bunch of cowards,’’ an impression that would be given to millions who watch the movie. “It’s a diabolical misrepresentation of the acts of courage and bravery, done at significant risk to themselves, by New Zealand diplomats,’’ he said. Affleck could not be reached for comment this week. During Oscar media interviews last month, Affleck told reporters: “Let me just start by saying I love New Zealand, and I love New Zealanders.’’ He added that “I think that it’s tricky. You walk a fine line. You are doing a historical movie and naturally you have to make some creative choices about how you are going to condense this into a three-act structure.’’ But Affleck and his screenwriter, Chris Terrio, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar, did catch some flak from critics for taking major liberties, especially a heart-stopping — but fictional — airport finale that had gun-wielding Iranian Revolutionary Guards chasing the Swissair plane down the tarmac, with the plane lifting off just in the nick of time. (In reality, the airport exit went smoothly.) And after the film was made, Affleck took the step of changing the film’s postscript, the Toronto Star reported, to more generously credit Canada and its ambassador at
the time, Ken Taylor, who protected the Americans at huge personal risk and was uncomfortable with some details in the film. Matthewman, the sociology professor, said the line in Argo may have provoked New Zealanders because the country prides itself on being generous and hospitable. People have a reputation for doing things like picking up hitchhikers and inviting them into their homes for a week, he said. Small countries like New Zealand that are far from the world’s centres of power are often shaped by bigger countries like the U.S. and often look to them for affirmation, Matthewman said. It’s interesting to note the different reaction Affleck got in Britain, Matthewman said, which was arguably equally maligned in the movie. “They give the guy a BAFTA in Britain and bash him in New Zealand,’’ he said, referring to the best director prize Affleck won at the British Academy Film Awards. Some in Britain, however, have criticized “Argo’s’’ reference to that country, and some in Canada are upset the CIA gets credit at the expense of the Canadians, a claim backed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. The controversy was not reflected in box-office receipts. “Argo’’ has done well in New Zealand, earning just over $1 million. As of this week, the film has earned $92.3 million internationally and $135 million in North America. Prime Minister John Key, meanwhile, has tried to sound a note of reason. “New Zealand, I think, sees itself as a country that always wants to lend a hand to help people,’’ he told reporters recently. “But in the end, this is Hollywood, and they do make movies. And a bit like when they transfer a book to a movie, often it’s a little bit different. So, look, I think we’ve made our point and we should probably move on.’’ But the country doesn’t seem ready to move on quite yet.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is urging sponsors of Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to end their support after a dog was buried in snow by severe winds and suffocated to death. PETA says it sent a letter to sponsors Thursday, asking them to permanently pull out of the 1,600-kilometre race. Race organizers say changes are planned for care of dogs removed
from the race. They say it’s in response to the death of 5-year-old Dorado. The dog was found dead at a checkpoint last week, days after it was removed from running because it was moving stiffly. Changes planned include construction of dog shelters at two major checkpoints for withdrawn dogs and more frequent checks on the animals. PETA has long criticized the race as cruel.

“The number of birds hitting buildings is not decreasing and we support FLAP’s call to action,” he said. Mark Peck, ornithology technician at the ROM, says that several of the birds on display belong to at risk species such as Canada warblers, whippoorwills, and chimney swifts. Other endangered birds include the kinglet species, ovenbirds, white-throated sparrows and ruby-throated hummingbirds are all common victims of collisions.

what it once was over 100 years ago, but no one is sure. Roberta Stevenson, executive director of the BC Shellfish Grower’s Association, says otters are considered a protected species by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, but they shouldn’t be, because there are already too many wreaking havoc on wild shellfish populations. The Pew Fellowship will allow Salomon to work with local communities, First Nations communities and experts for three years, gathering oral histories and scientific data to figure out the positive and negative impacts of increasing otters.

VANCOUVER — The sea otter population on the West Coast is growing, and along with it the marine mammal’s appetite for shellfish. But as the sea otter rebounds from near extinction, First Nations and other shellfish harvesters along B.C.’s coast say it’s hurting their bottom line. Simon Fraser University Prof. Anne Salomon received a $150,000 fellowship to study how human interference on marine life is changing food chains along the coast of B.C. and Alaska Salomon says there is evidence showing the current number of sea otters is just a third of
fatalities to reflective windows, which keep skies visible and fool birds into believing they have a clear path ahead of them. “It’s a tragedy,” said Mesure. “These birds are simply passing through the region.” FLAP donated about half of the bodies currently on display at the ROM, which has been mounting a similar exhibit each year since 2008. Dave Ireland, managing director of the museum’s biodiversity programs, said the organizations share similar ideals.
gues reflective windows and other features of the city skyline pose grave threats to the avian population. Michael Mesure, co-founder and executive director of FLAP, said the display sends a powerful message. “It’s a very revealing moment because it acts as a constant reminder of the problem and you’re not even seeing the tip of the iceberg,” he said. Mesure said about a million birds are killed each year after colliding with city structures. He attributed many of the
