Big Brothers Big Sisters looking at expansion

West Kootenay may soon be offered mentoring for young people through the Cranbrook chapter SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s successful Big Brothers Big Sisters is considering whether to expand its boundaries to include the West Kootenay.

This year, the organization is conducting a feasibility study to assess if and how it could serve the West Kootenay from the Cranbrook office.

“I have been getting quite a few phone calls from the West Kootenay,” said Dana Osiowy, executive director of the Cranbrook chapter. “Big

Brothers Big Sisters of Canada were also getting those phone calls.”

“There’s no lose: if we say we are thinking of coming into a community, everyone thinks that’s awesome.”

Dana Osiowy Big Brothers Big Sisters matches volunteer mentors with young people across Canada.

Currently, there are

more than 33,000 children matched with mentors across the country.

The Cranbrook chapter launched in 1977, and today there are more than 100 matches.

Now, Big Brothers Big Sisters wants to provide that service to young people in the West Kootenay, too.

In this early stage, the charity is conducting a feasibility study to determine what that would look like.

THE RETURN OF CARA LUFT: One of Canada’s top musicians made Cranbrook’s mid-week a more pleasant one. Cara Luft played the first in a series of concerts to be held at Lotus Books in downtown Cranbrook on Wednesday, April 3, as part of her tour of B.C. and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

About 60 people took in the concert.

Singers, dancers, musicians and actors from all over the region are preparing for the annual East Kootenay Performing Arts Festival, which will be held April 10-26, 2013.

Now running for more than 40 years, the festival brings performers young and old to compete in public contests that will provide weeks of entertainment in Cranbrook.

“People who attend can expect polished performances, music, dance and poetry that they may be familiar with and some that they won’t know as well, but that will delight and entertain

them,” said Ellen Bailey, a member of the festival committee.

“They may see some students who are stars of tomorrow.”

The festival is divided into four categories, spread over 16 days.

Speech and Dramatic Arts performances will be held at First Baptist Church on April 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entrants will perform poems and dramatic scenes; among the highlights will be a performance from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar by Bud Abbott, as well as speech ensembles and choirs.

It was in the fall of 2008, after his first trip to Nepal, that David Stock broached the subject of forming a group to help the very poor people they had met there. His wife Patricia came up with the name and The Canadian Friends of Nepal was created.

With the help of 14 of their friends plus family, the money collected from their first fundraiser was sent to Nepal. At that time the group assisted nine families and the school in the village of their guide, Bishnu.

Since that time, The Canadian Friends of Nepal has grown to 73 people and family members who contribute at various times.

There are now 12 families and the school that the group supports.

In February of 2009 they presented their first slide show at the college to raise money for one of the two fundraisers they have each year.

David puts hundreds of hours into making the DVD travelogues and tries to make them as entertaining as possible.

In the Fall of 2011, Gordon Terrace School in Cranbrook offered to get involved and raise money for the little school in the village of Kutal, which is 32 kilometres from Kathmandu. Through many fundraising events and the collection of Canadian Tire Money ( which was doubled by the head office in Toronto) the school raised $6,000 that year. Work was begun on a three-room addition to the Nepali school that will be used

With the money raised they were able to construct the shell of the building.

This year Gordon Terrace School is helping again. Their goal is to help buy doors, windows, plaster, paint, school furniture and a washroom for the addition. Work has started on this part of the project and will be completed soon.

To help with the fundraising The Canadian Friends of Nepal will be showing the latest DVD presentation “Lost Kingdoms of Nepal … Burma … and Cambodia,” on Monday April 8, and Tuesday April 16, at 7 p.m. in the Lecture Theatre at the College of the Rockies.

Both shows are being sponsored by the Col-

They finished their trip by flying to Cambodia and doing an in depth tour of the Killing Fields and the ancient temples of Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. Words cannot begin to describe these World Heritage sites.

Admission to the travelogue is by donation and all funds received will be put into The Canadian Friends of Nepal June fundraiser. Also, Gordon Terrace School students and staff will be selling small 5 dollar cloth “travel bags” filled with soap, shampoo, and other travel essentials to raise money for their Nepal school project.

The Laurie Middle School Grade 7 Concert Band travelled to Penticton March 6, 7 and 8 to participate in the Okanagan Valley Concert Band Festival. More than 30 bands from all over the province performed and were adjudicated during the two-day festival, which included an outstanding evening concert by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Wind Ensemble from Surrey, B.C. Under the guidance of Mr. Scott Martin, Laurie performed very well at the festival, and they received an excellent adjudication from the panel of highly qualified music educators.

Osiowy said the study, which will be ongoing through the end of 2013, will look at non-profits in the region that could partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the fundraising capacity in the region, which communities Big Brothers Big Sisters could operate in, other mentoring projects that have been offered in the West Kootenay in the past, and whether there would be enough volunteer mentors to call on.

“We can do it any way we want it,” said Osiowy, adding that the program would be offered through the Cranbrook office, rather

than creating a new office over the pass.

“There is a network of mentors already,” she added.

The feasibility study is being funded by MasterCard, according to Osiowy.

“MasterCard want to support mentoring in rural communities, so this is the way they are doing it,” she said.

So far, Osiowy’s research has brought enthusiasm from the West Kootenay.

“There’s no lose: if we say we are thinking of coming into a community, everyone thinks that’s awesome,” said Osiowy. “It’s not expensive to run.”

Roadworks, ahoy!

Sally MacDonald

Expect traffic delays outside Cranbrook starting next week, as improvements begin on Highway 93/95 and 3/93.

Okanagan Aggregates will undertake road construction between the Fort Steele overhead and Haha Creek Road, Mayook, between April 8 and June 30, 2013.

The work will be done between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except long weekends.

The highway will be single-lane alternating traffic during that time, but only minimal traffic delays are expected.

Workshops teach a few simple home efficiency upgrades F o r t h e TOW N s m a n

Do you have a house that needs some energy efficiency upgrades, but don’t know where to start? Wildsight wants to help you get started with a hands-on learning workshop in their energy renovation demonstration homes in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

“There are many simple upgrades people can make in their own homes that will save them a lot of energy and money,” said Lars Sander-Green, of Wildsight’s Climate Solutions. “But it can be tough to figure out where to start and how to go about it.”

That’s where Wildsight’s workshops come in: participants will learn how to identify problems like air leaks and learn hands-on how to fix them.

Workshops run on April 6 and 7 in Cranbrook and April 13 and 14 in Kimberley, and participants are welcome to join for as a little as a couple hours or as long as the whole

Local contractor Evan Little will show participants the tricks of the trade. No tools or experience are required.

“We’ll cover simple steps like air sealing, weatherstripping, lighting upgrades, and insulation,” said Sander-Green. “But we’ll also talk about appli-

ances, heating, windows, wood stoves, water heating, and anything else in your home that uses energy.”

While gaining hands-on knowledge,

participants will also be helping out local homeowners Cathy Korven in Kimberley and Brian and Betty Clarkson in Cranbrook.

“We’ve selected two typical post-war houses that could benefit from the same simple upgrades that many in the area can,” said Sander-Green, “so that people can learn by doing.”

If you want to join the workshops, get in touch with Wildsight: lars@wildsight.ca or 250-427-2535, extension 227. Work party volunteers are eligible for a 20 per cent discount on high efficiency windows from Innotech and will learn about rebates available for wood stove exchanges, low flow toilets, and solar hot water heating.

And if you can’t make the upcoming workshops, Wildsight will have open houses in both demonstration homes on Earth Day weekend (April 20 and 21) to show off the energy upgrades.

One Book, One Kootenay shortlist announced For the Townsman

They came, they deliberated — and they deliberated some more.

The panel of learned librarians tasked with choosing the 2013 One Book, One Kootenay (OBOK) shortlist had a tough time, considering the wealth of talent throughout the Kootenays. But chose they did,

and the Kootenay Library Federation (KLF), host of the annual OBOK reader’s choice celebration, is ready to announce the selected books.

On this year’s shortlist: “The Dolphin’s Tooth: a Decade in Search of Adventure” by Bruce Kirkby, “Confined Space” by Deryn Collier,

and “Never Going Back”

by Antonia Banyard.

“It’s a great shortlist,” said KLF director Joanne Richards. “As always, I feel incredibly proud of the level of literary talent we enjoy in our region.”

“The Dolphin’s Tooth: a Decade in Search of Adventure” (McLelland & Stewart) follows Kimberley au-

thor Bruce Kirkby through 15 years of high adventure in some of the world’s edgier places.

From crocodile attacks while running Africa’s Blue Nile Gorge to rescuing a fallen Sherpa on Mount Everest, Kirkby, a Globe and Mail columnist and photographer, has travelled to 80 countries and embraced 18

Plan to keep your teeth— before and after retirement British Columbians are keeping their teeth longer. Most adults can expect to enter retirement with all, if not most, of their natural teeth.

However, regular brushing and flossing alone, even with an electric toothbrush, does not guarantee that you’ll still be eating apples at 90. Continuing to visit your dentist regularly for professional care after retirement is just as important to keeping your teeth well into old age.

Your mouth ages too. Even the most scrupulously clean mouth will likely end up with some form of gum recession (when your gums shrink and more of your tooth’s root is exposed and vulnerable to cavities) or dental disease. For example, 43 percent of adults 60–79 years of age have root cavities compared to 6 percent of adults 20–39 years of age.1 Dental conditions are often extensive in older adults and can cause pain, infection and tooth loss. The number of adults without any teeth rises from 4 percent among 40–59year-olds to 22 percent among 60–79-year-olds.1 Studies also show that BC adults have a higher combined rate of decayed (cavities), missing and filled teeth.2 Losing your natural teeth can affect your nutrition and enjoyment of a variety of foods; lead to slurred speech; and reduce self-esteem. Dental disease can also negatively impact your general health; there are links between poor oral health and other health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Adults over the age of 60 also have the highest incidence of oral cancer; other risk factors include a high consumption of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined.3 Oral cancers can be devastating but are very treatable if caught early; it is estimated that approximately 84

Good oral health is part of your overall health and vitality, supporting nutrition and self-esteem. Plan to enjoy better oral health for life with ongoing care and prevention, including regular dental examinations.

percent of oral cancers can be detected by a dentist.4 With planning and ongoing prevention, a 60-year-old can retain their vitality and their teeth for a long time.

Steps to oral health… for life Keep your teeth, gums and dental work clean & maintained. Brush daily, especially at bedtime, with a soft toothbrush or electric toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Please floss! Make sure you floss at least once a day, especially around dental work like crowns.

Speak to your dentist about any special care for your dental work. Your teeth, gums and jaw bones change with age. You may require some repeat procedures or need to have your dental work repaired or replaced well before you are in advanced age.

Keep up your regular dental exams and cleaning schedule—even after you retire from work. Plan ahead for all your extended health care needs, including dental care.

Consider investing in a private or group plan when you retire, or put aside savings to cover regular preventive care including dental exams and cleanings.

Early detection of oral disease through regular examinations by a dentist can help to stop or slow the progression of oral disease and lead to better outcomes. Your dentist will monitor the health of your soft tissues and teeth; screen for oral cancer; review any general health concerns; and monitor the ongoing fit and function of your dental work.

Keep it healthy. What’s good for your body is good for your mouth! Limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks you consume throughout the day. Choose nutritious snacks and drinks, such as cheese or nuts, and water. Rinse with water after eating or drinking.

Keep your dentist or certified specialist up to date. Your dentist or certified specialist is the doctor of your mouth.

Update them on any medications you are taking and/or changes to your health. Many chronic diseases directly affect your teeth, bones and soft oral tissues. For example, some medications can create ‘dry mouth’ which can increase your risk of decay.

Stay active, stay connected, eat a healthy diet, take care of your teeth—and don’t forget about your extended health care needs! Your healthy smile can stay with you…for life.

Performing Arts Festival at hand Continued from page 1 The Dance categories take place on Saturday, April 13 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Key City Theatre. Most dancers are aged between 10 and 18, and they will perform in solo jazz, lyrical, tap, modern and ballet styles. The Dance categories include solo, duets, trio and groups of up to 17 dancers.

Piano performances will take place Monday, April 22 to Wednesday, April 24 at the College of the Rockies lecture theatre, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day, with an evening session on Tuesday, April 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

During the evening session, attendees will be treated to Mozart’s piano concerto in A major, performed by three students who will play one movement each. Their teacher, Creston’s Audrey Johnson, will play the orchestral accompaniment on a second piano. That evening, you will also hear Alec Rowley’s Miniature Concerto – both the first and third movement; Berkovich’s Concerto; and Claire de

Lune by Debussy.

Voice categories will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church from Wednesday, April 24 to Friday, April 26. On Wednesday morning, the audience will hear performers aged 11 and under perform musical theatre pieces. That afternoon, you will hear classical recitals by intermediate performers.

Wednesday evening will feature the Vera Women’s Choir from Jaffray, and the Kimberley Community Choir.

The Thursday session will feature classical recitals by accomplished local performers, including several from Nelson.

Each class of performance will have its own adjudicator: Lisa Aasebo for Speech Arts, Yvette Rowledge for piano, Sandy Slemp for dance, and Sarona Mynhardt for vocal classes.

The adjudicators will recommend performers who win trophies or awards to perform at the B.C. Performing Arts Festival in Chilliwack on May 26 to 30.

Although registration for the festival closed

back in February, all ages can participate.

“We have entrants as young as six (including a kindergarten class in Speech Arts) and Bud Abbott, who is 90-plus, will be performing from Julius Caesar in speech arts,” said Bailey.

The Performing Arts Festival will have a grand finale in the form of its Showcase Gala Concert, held on Monday, May 13 at 7 p.m. at the Key City Theatre.

The adjudicators choose which performers take the stage at the showcase, Bailey said.

“They may be award winners or provincial nominees, or they may have delivered an outstanding and entertaining performance and not be eligible for provincials for one reason or another.”

The East Kootenay Performing Arts Festival was organized by the Fraternal Order of Eagles for its first 30 years.

It is now run by a committee of volunteers, with sponsorship from numerous businesses and community groups, with special sponsorship by East Kootenay Community Credit Union.

per cent, and it is “not realistic” that it would suddenly be contained to less than one per cent, Ralston said.

In response, De Jong pointed to a new report

by Moody’s Investors Service, praising B.C.’s “strong track record of meeting budget targets” and reaffirming its triple-A credit rating after studying the February budget.

“Which is more credible, is really the question,” de Jong said.

Ralston also questioned the $625 million budgeted for asset sales in the next two years, comparing it to the $381 million worth of provincial assets sold between 2001 and 2010. The finance ministry has only identified 16 of 100 properties up for sale, and

ceed with plans to create a 40 acre park at Cherry Creek Falls. The remaining 360+ acres of the tenure will be free from future mining and be available for recreational use.

The B.C. NDP has kicked off its election campaign with a more detailed attack on the B.C. Liberal government’s pre-election budget, estimating it conceals a deficit of $790 million.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston presented his version of the budget in an effort to show it is not balanced, as claimed

by Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

The NDP has signalled it will run deficits if it forms a government May 15. Ralston said the party will present its own fiscal plan next week, with taxes and spending aimed at keeping the deficit from rising beyond $800 million this year.

Ralston said further analysis of the February budget forecasts unrealistically low increases in spending, especially in the current fiscal year, where total spending is budgeted to rise only 0.8 per cent.

The average spending increase in the past four years has been three

The Meadowbrook Community Association has concluded an agreement that will prevent the proposed quarry at Cherry Creek Falls.

The MCA has raised sufficient funds to compensate the mineral tenure holder for forfeiting the tenure and to cover its other expenses in completing the transaction.

The Kimberley & District Community Foundation assisted the Association by collecting donations and issuing tax receipts. Kent Goodwin, KDCF Treasurer, is seen here presenting a cheque to MCA President Bob Johnstone.

The cheque amount of $22,460.44 comprised a KDCF grant of $3,000 plus interest and $19,450 in donations. In meeting its target of $55,000, the MCA received more than $30,000 in other grants.

President Johnstone expressed appreciation to the KDCF Board for its willingness to support this project both financially and administratively. He said the MCA was especially thankful to Treasurer Goodwin for his efforts in completing the tedious but necessary paperwork.

“Kent and I served on the founding board of the KDCF. I learned how community minded he is and how good

none have actually been sold yet, he said.

De Jong presented the government’s long-promised balanced budget in February, after a string of deficits triggered by the 2009 international financial crisis and the dismantling of the harmonized sales tax. He credited public service unions for agreeing to minimal wage increases and other strict spending controls for the low projected increase in spending.

De Jong also borrowed from the NDP’s plans to raise revenues, increasing the income tax rate on large business from 10 per cent to 11 effective April 1. NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to increase it to 12 per cent, and to impose an increase on personal incomes above $150,000 a year.

De Jong announced in February that personal income taxes for those earning $150,000 or more would rise 2.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent starting next January, but the increase would be rolled back after two years.

Equal is as equal does

he American nation held its collective breath recently, and turned not just blue but a veritable rainbow of colors as the U.S. Supreme Court spent a goodly part of two days hearing oral arguments on gay marriage.

Well, at least they were in the same room as arguments about gay marriage were oralled. In a position to eavesdrop on a series of gay marriage arguments, if they were of a mind to.

You can never really pin down which of the nine Phat Ebony Robes is hearing what. Court watchers long have presumed Justice Scalia underwent a powdered-wig strict constructionist-filter installation years back that insures nothing post-18th century funnels through to his cognitive cells. And if Antonin can’t hear it, as far as Clarence Thomas is concerned, it doesn’t exist. The others hear what they want to hear. Proving they do indeed represent America.

The Supremes will weigh in on the Defense of Marriage Act and the legality of California’s Proposition 8 sometime in June. Until then the suspense is killing us — thrillingly. Although the fact they’re using “opposite-sex marriage” to describe heterosexuality should already be counted as a victory. And like everything else that comes before the court, final disposition probably depends on which side of the bed Justice Kennedy wakes up.

Don’t tell the Berobed Ones (mustn’t allow deeper insecurity complexes to develop), but it doesn’t really matter how they rule, because gay marriage is on the fast track to be permanently woven into the fabric of our national diversity quilt.

The handwriting is on the wall. And the

penmanship is stunning.

Across the U.S., same-sex marriage polls have risen faster than property taxes in a tulip bubble. Pollster Nate Silver of The New York Times, the nation’s soothsayer, expects national support to increase 1.5 percentage points each A U.S. VIEW year. And let us lay thanks at the remote of the oneWill eyed HD beast, television.

Familiarity breeds tolerDurst ance. Gay celebs such as Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper have encouraged kids of today to live their lives openly. Allowing middle America enough interactive glances to realize the gay community doesn’t devote most of its waking hours attempting to engorge the Armies of Sodom brandishing pitchforks and sporting horns.

Like we were told. Over and over.

And forget the malevolent clowns of the Westboro Baptist Church, who make God laugh so hard he spits milk through his nose. Casual bigotry is dying off. Literally. Oh sure, there will always be prejudice, stupidity and fear but society is rapidly realizing that “gay” is just another adjective; like blonde or buff or stinky.

Whether its generational shifts, enlightened minds or disco going mainstream, the tide of tolerance is proving inexorable. Only a matter of time before gay marriage is universally accepted, and then it will seem perfectly routine until eventually it becomes mandatory. Dibs on Clooney!

Editor’s note: Yes, we know, the phones the phones …

Dear customers, and others who wish to communicate with us here at the Daily Townsman. Your anger is palpable, and you know what — we understand. Our phone system is messed up. In fact it’s been a little chaotic. But this state of affairs is temporary, very temporary. It’s all part of the chaos that comes with our self-reinvention that will make everything so much better. In the meantime, if you’re having trouble getting through to your desired party, please press zero when you hear the recorded voice welcoming you to the Daily Townsman.

Please bear in mind that we have been taking our building apart and putting it back together again for the past eight months. This process has included a new

roof, and new press, new walls, new floors, new machines of every description, and, yes, a new telephone system. And we are close — oh so close — to completion.

Once our new telephone system is installed, then there you will have it — a Daily Townsman like out of the pages of science fiction (the good, better-world kind of science fiction, not the terrible alien invasion kind). You will be amazed when you see our new offices. Come on down. And you will be astounded when you check out our new telecommunications. Give us a call!

But in the meantime, dear customer, be patient, be kind. It’s been frustrating for us too, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

Remember, dial zero. Talk to you soon.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Grass fire danger

As residents of Gold Creek (Area C), we would like to express our gratitude to the City of Cranbrook Fire Department for their immediate response in extinguishing an out of control grass fire that threatened our homes and outbuildings last week.

A neighbour’s grass fire jumped the fence and came dangerously close — within 50 feet of our homes and within five feet of our outbuildings. Within 40 minutes, the blaze was under control, but also three to four acres of our land was burnt. During that period, the fire travelled the entire length — 660 feet — of our properties.

Ironically, this was not the first time the

fire department was called out to this location. Two years ago, yet another neighbour’s grass fire was out of control and threatened our homes. Had we not called the fire department ourselves, we are not certain what the outcome may have been, certainly far different from what occurred.

Grass and brush fires are an integral part of being a rural property owner, but common sense and vigilance when initiating a fire need to prevail. Simple precautions such as informing neighbours and the fire department in advance are warranted — also having proper firefighting equipment and personnel on hand is a must.

Don’t underestimate the speed at which a fire can spread, and know that when a fire is started it creates its own wind. In this case, one neighbour had only stepped out for groceries and returned to find their open meadow land scorched — but this could have been a smoldering basement.

We are grateful to have access to the fine men and women of our local fire department and emergency services. Let us keep them safe and avoid a serious tragedy in the future.

o say that the Italians were discriminated against in the early years of our city would be a fair statement of an unfair fact.

It would appear that one of the first murders to occur in town, in March, 1899, was committed by Italians, which may have started things off on the wrong foot. A fight, carrying over from the nearby red light district, placed two Italians by the names of Felix Paste and Mike Messico (of which the spelling must be treated as suspect) near the CPR freight shed in the general area of the present day railway museum. In a case of mistaken identity the two men attacked a man they believed to be a recent adversary but who was, in fact, a young man by the name of Edward Ryan enjoying a late night on the town. He was fatally shot

by Paste.

Still, that’s really neither here nor there, for it soon became evident that violent crime was most certainly not restricted to any one nationality. If you were Italian (or Japanese or Chinese or French or Polish or Indian or Negro or Scandinavian or sometimes German or a whole lot of things that weren’t white-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant) you were going to eat a pretty steady diet of discrimination from Cranbrook’s self-perceived elite. As with all the “foreigners” of the early days, the Italians took their lumps while carving themselves an integral place in the community.

Food has a way of bridging nationalities so perhaps July, 1913, was a small turning point in local race relations.

On that particular evening local middleweight boxer Joe Uvanni knocked out challeng-

Mr. Uvanni, a cook by trade, proceeded to serve up what appears to be the first local public Italian spaghetti dinner. Many diners were enjoying the experience for the first time and failed to go the full ten rounds, but all agreed that it was a repast of

the first order.

As with many of the racial minorities of the city, the Italian community tended to stick to themselves in the early days, settling the area between Kootenay and Victoria Street north of 2nd Avenue North, in what became known generally as “Little Italy.” The land thereabouts was among the best for growing gardens, an activity the Italians practiced with relentless pride. Both the Venezia (Sam Steele) and Italia (King Edward) Hotels were

under Italian proprietorship and became the de facto social centres for the men.

The Italians weren’t the only ethnic group to define their residential territory.

There was Chinatown opposite the CPR station, Slabtown to the southwest, home to many of Slavic and French descent, Scotchtown (later Slaterville) and of course Baker Hill — home to the white Anglo-Saxons of the day.

Lance Armstrong drops out of swimming event after objections JIM VERTUNO Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas Lance Armstrong is pulling out of the pool.

Swimming’s international federation body raised objections to Armstrong’s participation in the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships at the University of Texas this weekend, U.S. Masters Swimming Executive Director Rob Butcher said Thursday. Armstrong had planned to swim three distance events.

“He doesn’t want to cause any more harm to any more organizations,” Butcher told The Associated Press. “His interest was around fitness and training. In light of FINA and the other political stuff, he will not be swimming.”

Although Butcher said Armstrong withdrew from the event, he likely didn’t have a choice after FINA raised objections to his participation. An Armstrong spokesman did not immediately respond to an email re-

questing comment.

The U.S Anti-Doping Agency banned Armstrong from sanctioned competition for life for his use of performance-enhancing drugs during a cycling career that included seven Tour de France titles. Butcher had said Wednesday that Armstrong, who is a U.S. Masters Swimming member, would be allowed to compete in his 40-44 age group because the master’s event did not fall under USADA drug testing rules.

Denmark upsets Canada 5-3 at men’s world curling championships MONTE STE WART Canadian Press

VICTORIA - This time, Brad Jacobs was not willing to take the blame for a loss.

Denmark’s Rasmus Stjerne downed Jacobs’ Northern Ontario rink 5-3 at the world men’s curling championships Thursday.

With one game left to play in the round-robin segment later Thursday, Canada (7-3) was still in position to finish first or second and get two cracks at qualifying for Sunday’s final.

“Nobody on the planet was beating Denmark today,” said Jacobs. “I don’t care who you are. They played phenomenal.”

A day earlier, he had blamed himself for his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., rink’s upset loss to Japan, a distant also-ran, and criticized himself again after ekeing out a win over Russia, another rink out of playoff contention.

“They had to come out and beat us to stay alive - and they did,” said Jacobs.

Despite the loss,

Canada (7-3) caught a huge break as Finland’s Aku Kauste upset Scotland’s David Murdoch 10-9. With the loss, Scotland (8-3) retained first place overall but kept Jacobs’ hopes of finishing first alive, pending his result against Sweden later Thursday.

The one-two Page playoff game and any necessary tiebreakers will be held Friday.

The loser of the opening playoff game between the first and second-place teams will get another crack at the final against the winner of the threefour game Saturday.

The Danes kept their playoff hopes alive as they finished

the round-robin segment with a 7-4 record.

“We had the luck and we had the breaks to win this game,” said Stjerne. “We had lost some games where we didn’t have the breaks.

Sometimes you get them. Sometimes you don’t.”

Stjerne secured the win as he made a great hit-and-roll shot in the ninth end. Nudging a Canadian rock off the button, he picked up two points to go up 5-3. The Danes were then able to run the Canadians out of rocks in the 10th.

“Really, it all came down to the ninth end,” said Jacobs. “I thought we were looking pretty good there -

and we weren’t.”

In other afternoon play, Switzerland beat Japan 8-5. The Swiss (5-5) kept their remote playoff chance alive while Japan fell to 3-8.

Meanwhile, the United States (5-6) completed its games with a 9-7 win over Norway. (5-5) In other early games at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, Sweden edged Denmark 7-6, the Czech Republic beat Japan 10-5 and Russia topped the United States 6-5.

The loss eliminated the Americans before they closed out play with their win over Norway in the afternoon.

Canada draws France 1-1 in soccer friendly C ANADIAN PRESS

NICE, France - Kaylyn Kyle scored in injury time as Canada salvaged a 1-1 tie with France in exhibition women’s soccer action Thursday.

Elodie Thomis gave France a 1-0 lead with a goal at the end of the first half, but Kyle can-

celled it out with a goal on the last play of the match.

Kyle had several chances in the last 30 minutes, including a pair of headers that were cleared off the line, before finally scoring in the 94th minute.

Goalkeeper Erin Mc-

Leod was named Canada’s player of the match.

It was the first meeting between the two sides since Canada beat France 1-0 in the bronze-medal match of the London Olympics, when Diana Matheson scored in the 92nd minute.

Sports Curling centre to host boxing event next weekend Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club is gearing up to host the B.C. Golden Gloves boxing tournament next weekend at the Cranbrook Curling Centre, which will include a few local athletes.

Eagles boxing coach Bill Watson is excited to display his local talent in a venue like the Curling Centre, which he hopes draws everyone from the curious spectator to the hardcore boxing fan.

“It’s going to be a great venue. There won’t be a bad seat in the house,” said Watson.

“We’ll be able to use upstairs as well, so people can look down over the ring and we’re going to have bleachers and ringside seats set up, so I think it’s going to be a great location and we’ll see how it goes.”

Watson is drawing boxers from clubs in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and hopes to have 75 entries—and he’s already halfway to his goal.

“My target is to get up to 75 entries, then we can run a good show saturday night and then finals and match bouts on Sunday,” added Watson.

“We’re more than halfway right now, and I know there’s a lot of clubs—keeping my fingers crossed—that are coming and haven’t sent any entries in.

“That happens a lot at these tournaments, where clubs will show up without sending in entries.”

Watson is hoping to set up bouts for four of his fighters in Dacun and Gage Duthie, Dylan Clark and Shannon Ryan. This will be the second tournament in Cranbrook since the Rumble in the Rockies in the fall, which also featured local boxers on the card.

“It’s an Olympic sport, it recognizes females now in the Olympics, so come out and see some great amateur boxing,” said Watson.

“You’ve got some athletes that have dedicated themselves to the sport and it is a huge commitment, especially when they get to the open divisions—they’re competing all across Canada.

“Your going to see all shapes and sizes and ages, starting right at 70 pounds, right up to the super heavyweight divisions, so come on out and check it out.”

Raonic and Pospisil to see singles action for Canada in Davis Cup Lyndon Little Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Martin Laurendeau showed that loyalty plays a significant role when he assembles Canada’s Davis Cup team.

The Canadian team captain pulled a bit of a surprise Thursday at the official draw for this weekend’s World Group quarter-final against Italy, picking 22-year-old Vasek Pospisil to replace the injured Frank Dancevic on the singles roster.

Dancevic, of Niagara Falls, Ont., was a hero of the February World Group tie against Spain with his opening-day victory over top-50 singles player Marcel Granollers. He was a surprise scratch from the Canadian lineup Thursday with a sore left knee.

Laurendeau could be leaving himself open to some second-guessing by selecting Pospisil over Ottawa’s Jesse Levine,

who is ranked 96th in the world - 44 places ahead of Pospisil.

But Pospisil has been a member of the Davis Cup squad since 2008 and has been an active team player the past three years. The veteran from Vancouver carries an overall record of 7-6 (4-4 in singles and 3-2 in doubles) into his eighth tie for Canada.

He was the hero of the 2011 victory over Israel which sent Canada in the World Group for the first time in eight years, winning all three of his matches including the decisive singles rubber.

Laurendeau didn’t directly address the loyalty issue, but he believes Pospisil is capable of pulling an upset against world No. 18 Andreas Seppi, a player he beat at last year’s Rogers Cup. “It was a captain’s decision,” Laurendeau said. “We’ll just let Friday’s singles play them-

selves out and then we’ll look at the situation.”

Pospisil will need his youthful legs as he is also scheduled to team with veteran Daniel Nestor in Saturday’s doubles and to play in the reverse singles Sunday. Laurendeau, however, indicated he could revise his Sunday lineup.

Pospisil will kick off the tie Friday with his singles match against Seppi, followed by No. 16 Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., against No. 31 Fabio Fognini.

The injury to Dancevic means Levine, 26, will making his debut on the official team roster, though unless Laurendeau makes a change on Sunday it doesn’t appear he will see any action.

Levine left Canada at 13 to live with his family in Florida and originally represented the United States internationally, but has recently opted to play Davis Cup for his native country.

The native of Surrey, B.C., finished the WHL regular season third in goals-against average (2.25), sixth in save percentage (.917) and seventh in wins (33) and shutouts (five).

He was selected by the Flames in the sixth round, 164th overall, of

That decision led to positive investments in Cranbrook, like Wal-Mart and Great Canadian Superstore and new commercial tax revenues for the City.

Bill and Christy are “glass half full” kind of people. They know how to get things done. A local example is the $70 million Bill has brought home for projects at our regional hospital. A provincial example is the once-in-a-lifetime liquefied natural gas opportunity that can generate thousands of good new jobs and revenue to pay for public services, an initiative the NDP refer to as “fantasy”.

BOSTON - Jaromir Jagr’s skills have diminished since he scored at least 30 goals in 15 consecutive seasons.

He’s content with what he has left, though, and so are the Boston Bruins.

“The game has changed, so I changed,” the five-time NHL scoring champion said at Thursday’s morning skate before his debut with Boston against the New Jersey Devils. “I’m not the guy who wanted to score the most goals in the league or most points in the league.

“Don’t take it wrong, I like to score. But there’s more important things, the whole picture of a team and to win as a team. I think in that kind of way I’ve changed a lot.”

His initial role may be bigger than anticipated when the Bruins obtained him from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, the day before the NHL trade deadline.

Colin Greenberg struck the left side of Bergeron’s head while they were racing for the puck.

The Bruins gave no timetable for Bergeron’s return from the fourth concussion of his NHL career.

“He sounded positive,” coach Claude Julien said. “You never know with those things. ... Some guys have progressed quicker than others. It’s really a tough thing to predict.”

At the morning skate, right wing Tyler Seguin moved to centre between left wing Brad Marchand and Jagr. Julien wouldn’t commit to sticking with that alignment.

“I don’t think what you see is necessarily what we’re going to get,” Julien said. “We’re going

to look and see what fits in best, not just for Jaromir Jagr, but for everybody else. It’s not just about him. I think it’s about fitting guys in areas where they can be good for us.”

Wherever he plays, Jagr should boost the Bruins’ mediocre offence that scored just 20 goals in nine games before the meeting with New Jersey. He scored 54 goals in 2005-06 and 30 in 2006-07, the last time he had at least 30.

His impact could be especially significant on the power play. Boston ranks 24th in the NHL in scoring with an extra skater, and none of their players had more than three power-play goals.

With Dallas, six of Jagr’s 14 goals were on power plays.

NFL mandating cameras in locker rooms for fans in stadiums only Barry Wilner Associated Press

NEW YORK - Hey, NFL fans, here’s a new view for you at the stadium: the locker rooms.

The NFL has ordered all teams to have cameras in their locker rooms next season, with video shown only on stadium scoreboards. It’s part of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s initiative for “enhancing the fan experience in our stadiums.”

The videos will be available on team apps as well.

Each team will operate the cameras and will determine what is shown on the video boards and apps. The Cowboys already have been making such videos available to fans.

“Our philosophy is to always look for ways to improve,” Goodell has said. “Our goals are to continually evolve the game to make it better and safer, serve our fans in new ways, and represent the NFL with integrity. We do that by emphasizing quality and innovation, including the latest technology as it applies to everything from equipment to

medical care to the stadium experience.”

NFL vice-president of business operations Eric Grubman said last summer that the cameras were coming. They have arrived.

“Then we will be offering unique content, as we already are doing with the video replays involving referees,” Grubman said. “I can see cameras in locker rooms or tunnels or coaches’ facilities before games. Fans want it, and clubs can do it.”

Teams also will be required to show all replays available during a video review on the video boards, not just those the home team would choose - ones that might be favourable to the host club.

Grubman has predicted more in-stadium improvements for fans, especially in the use of videos.

“We’re thinking of really advanced video in concourses and parking lots,” he said. “Fans want to know what is going on around the league, they don’t want those areas to be a zone of less information and it doesn’t need to be.”

Famed movie critic Roger Ebert dies at age 70 C aryn Rousseau Associated Press

CHICAGO — Roger Ebert, the nation’s bestknown film reviewer who with fellow critic Gene Siskel created the template for succinct thumbs-up or thumbsdown movie reviews, died Thursday. He was 70.

Ebert, a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, was also the first journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for movie criticism. He died Thursday at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, his office said.

Only a day earlier, Ebert announced that he was undergoing radiation treatment after a recurrence of cancer.

“So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.’’

Ebert wrote on his blog.

He had no grand theories or special agendas, but millions recognized the chatty, heavy-set man with wavy hair and horn-rimmed glasses.

social media, connecting with fans on Facebook and Twitter.

In early 2011, Ebert launched a new show, “Ebert Presents At the Movies.’’ He used a chin prosthesis and enlisted voice-over guests to read his reviews.

While some called Ebert a brave inspiration, he told The Associated Press in an email in January 2011 that bravery and courage “have little to do with it.’’

“You play the cards you’re dealt,’’ Ebert wrote. “What’s your choice? I have no pain. I enjoy life, and why should I complain?’’

Ebert joined the SunTimes part-time in 1966 while pursuing graduate study at the University of Chicago and got the reviewing job the following year. His reviews were eventually syndicated to several hundred other newspapers, collected in books and repeated on innumerable websites, which would have made him one of the most influen-

Above all, they followed his thumb — pointing up or down. It was the main logo of the televised shows Ebert co-hosted, first with Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune and — after Siskel’s death in 1999 — with his Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper.

Despite his power with the movie-going public, Ebert considered himself “beneath everything else a fan.’’

“I have seen untold numbers of movies and forgotten most of them, I hope, but I remember those worth remembering, and they are all on the same shelf in my mind,’’ Ebert wrote in his 2011 memoir, “Life Itself.’’

Ebert lost portions of his jaw and the ability to speak, eat and drink after cancer surgeries in 2006. He overcame his health problems to resume writing full-time and eventually even returned to television. In addition to his work for the Sun-Times, Ebert became a prolific user of

His 1975 Pulitzer for distinguished criticism was the first, and one of only three, given to a film reviewer since the category was created in 1970. In 2005, he received another honour when he became the first critic to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Ebert’s television career began the year he won the Pulitzer, first on

WTTW-TV, the Chicago PBS station, then nationwide on PBS and later on several commercial syndication services. Ebert and Siskel even trademarked the “two thumbs-up’’ phrase.

Ebert was also an author, writing more than 20 books that included two volumes of essays on classic movies and the popular “I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie,’’ a collection of some of his most scath-

The Internet was where he forged relationships with his readers, posting links to stories he found interesting and writing long pieces on varied topics, not just film criticism.

“My blog became my voice, my outlet, my ‘social media’ in a way I couldn’t have dreamed of,’’ Ebert wrote in his memoir. “Most people choose to write a blog. I

needed to.’’

Ebert wrote in 2010 that he did not fear death because he didn’t believe there was anything “on the other side of death to fear.’’

“I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state,’’ he wrote. “I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Let your weekend plans float around in your mind as much as you’d like. Take off to visit some friends, or plan a get-together in the near future. Your energy might be needed, as others might be dragging. You know where you are heading and why.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be left trying to tie up the loose ends of a situation. You might not know why this is the case, but you do know what to do. Be willing to say “no” if you can’t handle any more. Someone you really care about opens up.

Help only if you want to. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to others.

You’ll want to get the lay of the land before you commit to anything. Friends might push you in a certain direction. Be honest with yourself and evaluate your options. Follow their lead if you think it is the best choice.

Tonight: Take off ASAP.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relate on an individual basis, and let others know why they are important to you. Sometimes you assume that others just know. An occasional confirmation or acknowledgment means a lot. Your relationships will improve as a result. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others seem to be in control right now. You can carry on all you want, but either go along with someone else’s plans or make your own. Accept an invitation that involves travel and seeing someone at a distance.

Feelings flow in this setting. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to someone else in order to lighten your workload.

Confusion surrounds a personal situation. You have some choices to make. Stay centered in your priorities, commitments and whatever else is important to you. Listen to news carefully.

Tonight: Visit with a dear friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can’t suppress your play-

For Better or Worse

fulness -- even if you should change your mind or decide to do something differently. Someone clearly is on your side, but he or she still might give you some flak. Feed off of this person’s energy, and finish a long-overdue project. Tonight: TGIF. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay centered, and recognize when enough is enough. You know far more than what you are sharing. Realize what is happening between you and someone else. Make sure that you are able to blend two different -- and perhaps contradictory -- parts of your life. Tonight: At home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to complete a conversation, but interruptions could leave you feeling frustrated. Try this conversation on a Monday or Tuesday -- not on a Friday. Loosen up by revealing your authentic feelings regarding a loved one. Tonight: Express your liveliness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you are. If you are invest-

ing in real estate, the superficial costs have nothing to do with reality. Create a sound budget that allows for a snafu here and there. Your sense of humor could be provocative to someone. Tonight: Time for a treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to your imagination, and follow through on an idea that seems a little offbeat. You’ll get your point across while still being able to express your caring.

Avoid a disruptive person in your daily life who thrives on chaos. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Avoid getting into today’s confusion; otherwise, your feelings easily could be hurt. Listen to a friend who shares a secret of sorts. You might need to point this person in a new direction.

Express your caring in a way that is very different for you. Tonight: Join friends.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been a widow for 15 years.

I moved to another state to be with my kids and met “Jerry.” We’ve been dating for nine months.

Jerry has been divorced for two years and has two adult children. His ex-wife was his childhood sweetheart and the only woman he’d ever been with. The problem is, I have never been to Jerry’s house. He says his niece and youngest child live with him, and he hasn’t told the family about me. When I asked why, he said, “Then everyone will know it’s over between my ex and me.”

I think Jerry’s mother sustains the hope that he will get back together with his ex, and I’m pretty sure his ex would like that, too. I gave Jerry a deadline of three months to make our relationship public. He swears he’s not still married, and he gave me a ring for Valentine’s Day. He spends the night at my house every week. I just want to know what you think. -- Not Yet Official Dear Not Yet: Either Jerry is still hung up on his ex-wife, or he’s too afraid of his mother to date anyone else. If he were truly ready to move forward, seeing you publicly would not be an issue after nine months. Your deadline makes sense, but you must be ready to end the relationship if Jerry doesn’t come through. That would mean he isn’t likely to ever be “ready.” Sorry.

Dear Annie: I’m planning my wedding and asked my best friend, “Kayla,” to be my maid of honor. I love her like a sister. Right after college, Kayla made a mistake and got pregnant after a one-night stand with some guy she met at a bar. Her daughter, “Jessie,” is now 4 years old, a wonderful child and my goddaughter. I want her as my flower girl.

My mother liked Kayla until Jessie was born and she realized the child is biracial. My mother hit the roof when she found out Kayla and Jessie are in the wedding party. She claims they are “tainted.” I am astounded and furious with my mother. Her side of the family is extremely racist, and I have little to do with them. My mother always downplayed their behavior as “old fashioned,” but now that she’s older, she’s become just like them. Believe me, it’s not early-onset dementia or anything like that. She’s simply turning into her parents.

My fiance and I are footing the entire bill for this wedding, so we are not beholden to anyone. I’m shocked and embarrassed that my mother has become someone I can’t stand to be around. She told my father and brothers that she won’t come to the wedding if Kayla and Jessie are there, and frankly, I’m relieved -- and that bothers me. My father is appalled by her behavior, as are my brothers.

What do I do now? -- Bigot’s Daughter

Dear Daughter: A parent’s preferences should be taken into consideration when they are reasonable, but your mother’s are not. You can calmly discuss with her why her demands are abhorrent to you and that you hope she will reflect more rationally on the racist opinions she holds. But you cannot change her. You can only decide how much you can tolerate. Please do not give in to her blackmail.

Dear Annie: You had a letter from “Suggestions Appreciated,” who wanted to know what to do about guests who track snow into her house. You said it was OK to ask them to remove their shoes, especially if she provides comfy little slippers.

I have one more suggestion: Let people know beforehand that they will need to take off their shoes. I have a lift in one shoe and cannot go without them. I have a special pair of shoes that I can bring along to wear inside the house if I know in advance that I will need them. -- Frank Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Holy Humour: Be of good cheer

idya hear the one about the preacher who dreamed he was preaching? Then he woke up and he was!

The Fellowship of Merry Christians has been playfully encouraging churches to celebrate Holy Humour Sunday on the Sunday after Easter. They’re trying to encourage Lutheran laughter, playful Presbyterians, amusing Anglicans, chortling Catholics—in short, chuckling Christians of all stripes.

The practice comes from an old Christian custom which celebrated Easter Monday as Bright Monday, a day to laugh and frolic, a day of special festivities, of picnics, pranks and practical jokes. We’re not exactly sure of the origin of this playful celebration,

but it may have been inspired by a sermon preached by 4th century Greek theologian John Chrysostom. He pictured the risen Christ confronting the devil and laughing uproariously. God played a joke on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead.

Christians can laugh because God’s new life has been born in the world.

The early theologians called this the “risus paschalis,” the Easter laugh.

G.K. Chesterton once wrote: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.” An old adage has it that the devil can’t stand the sound of laughter and slinks away from it.

Bright Monday was a

day to laugh, to frolic and delight in the good news of resurrection life.

In “The Easter Book”, Rev. Francis Weiser notes that “in early days of Christianity, all of Easter Week was one continuous feast, a week of intense happiness and spiritual joy.” These kinds of celebrations continued until they faded away in the last couple of centuries in increasingly secular societies.

The Fellowship of Merry Christians wants to revive the practice by transplanting the celebration to Holy Humour Sunday on the Sunday after Easter. It’s a day of holiness and laughter— two things we don’t often see side by side. In too many churches, Sunday morning worship is a serious and sol-

Yme Woensdregt emn time.

But here is an opportunity for us to rejoice.

We’re supposed to be people who celebrate the good news of God’s presence in life. Paul calls us to rejoice always.

It’s high time for worship to be marked by this kind of joy.

More and more churches are beginning to celebrate Holy Humour Sunday. Some ministers come dressed

The Cristoforo Colombo Lodge Continued from page 7 Cristoforo Colombo Lodge No. 14 came into existence on Jan. 16, 1927 (as reported by the Cranbrook Courier newspaper), when local members of the Alberta parent society “Ordine Indipendente Fior D’Italia” were granted a charter.

Fifty or so members, comprising such names as Provenzano, Pascuzzo, Pighin, Fiorentino, Naso and Romano held the first of many Sunday afternoon meetings. Yearly dues were $12 per year, of which $8 went to the parent club. A membership drive in Kimberley advised that candidates must be males under the age of fifty with good conduct and in good physical health — demanding standards, indeed.

Aside from the social aspect of the club, members received financial aid when hospitalized or otherwise requiring assistance, including fund-raising at various times to aid those in Italy suffering from the effects of particularly devastating volcanoes.

The group lacked its own facilities and for many years either met privately in a room at the Venezia Hotel or conducted social activities at the Masonic Temple (now the Studio) or later, the Eagles Hall. As early as 1957, the group

considered building their own facility but little progress was made until 1964, when they purchased 5.75 acres of land on a hill to the south of the city limits for $1,000. A rudimentary clubhouse and outdoor shelter was con-

structed along with three outdoor bocce “alleys.” By 1970 members, unhappy with the required financial patronage to the Fior D’Italia, voted to withdraw and continue on their own, retaining the Cristoforo Colombo Lodge No.14 title. In order to increase

membership a new category of “Honourary Members” was established, allowing those of non-Italian heritage to join, albeit with limited rights.

In the early 1970s a new club constitution

given for a kid who came home after wasting his half of the inheritance.

Who ever heard of camels being swallowed easily by those who choked when trying to swallow a gnat?

But Jesus pokes at our pretensions, turns our world upside down, invites us to imagine a world where all people can enjoy life because it’s good for everyone. In a day when no one would ever think of eating with someone who wasn’t their social equal, Jesus was accused of being a glutton, someone who would eat with just anyone. The righteous folks clucked their tongues, tsk–tsking at this outrageous behaviour.

A story is told about Groucho Marx. As he was getting off an eleva-

tor, he happened to meet a clergyman. The clergyman came up to him, put out his hand and said, “I want to thank you for all the joy you’ve put into the world.” Groucho shook hands and replied, “Thank you, Reverend. I want to thank you for all the joy you’ve taken out of it.”

It’s time to change that sad assessment of the church, don’t you think? It’s time to rejoice always.

May the laugh of Easter—the risus paschalis—be yours today and every day. Join us at Christ Church for Holy Humour Sunday this weekend, at 9:15 and 11 am.

was drafted, a new road was laid from the end of 8th Avenue to the club grounds replacing the old wagon road, drilling for water undertaken and the clearing of the land for a new facility begun. Fund-raising began in earnest in 1975 through private donations and government

grants. Construction carried on through 1976 while the women of the Italian community did their part by forming the Cristoforo Colombo Lodge Ladies Auxiliary in preparation for the banquets to come.

The grand opening of the hall took place on June 10, 1978. In the en-

suing 35 years the building has become a regular meeting place for groups and nationalities of all types and a testament of the local Italian commitment to culture, community and cuisine.

NEWS Lawyer for B.C. gang gets year in jail C ara McKenna Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — The British Columbia lawyer who acted as a “tool’’ for a criminal gang has been sentenced to a year in jail in the first such conviction of its kind in Canada.

William Mastop, 46, pleaded guilty last December to participating in a criminal organization known as the Greeks.

A prosecutor told the judge during a sentencing hearing that Mastop provided the gang with court documents that led to the murders of two people.

But B.C. Supreme

Ward Perrin, PNG, Vancouver Sun

William Mastop

Court Justice Mark McEwan said there wasn’t enough evidence that the information led to the deaths and only some of Mastop’s behaviour was criminal.

“In this respect his

utility to the criminal organization seems to be not much more than as a convenience,’’ he said.

McEwan said Mastop played only a peripheral role in the gang’s activities and that mitigating factors such as his loss of community standing and job loss prompted him to rule in favour of a more “moderate’’ jail term.

Mastop’s lawyer asked for a sentence of between 10 and 18 months, while the prosecution was looking for a sentence of up to three years in prison.

At a sentencing hearing in March, 75 intercepted phone conversa-

tions between the lawyer and gang members revealed Mastop offered to obtain court information for the Greeks.

Documents Mastop provided the organization contained search warrant information that revealed an unnamed informant — information the gang later used to kill two people they wrongly thought were responsible, the prosecutor told the sentencing hearing.

Mastop and the Greek’s gang leader Peter Manolakos also grew up together in Vernon, B.C., where Mastop later became a criminal lawyer.

Philadelphia to play a supersized game of ‘Pong’ on facade of 29-storey skyscraper K athy Matheson Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia is getting ready for a supersized game of “Pong’’ — on the side of a skyscraper.

The classic Atari video game will be re-created later this month on the facade of the 29-storey Cira Centre, where hundreds of embedded LED lights will replicate the familiar paddles and ball.

Organizers expect hundreds of onlookers as gaming enthusiasts use giant, table-mounted joysticks to play from afar. The players will be standing on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a site that offers an unobstructed view of the office building from across the Schuylkill River. “’Pong’ is a cultural icon, cultural milestone,’’ said Frank Lee, the Drexel University game-design professor behind the concept.

“This is my love letter to the wonders of technology as seen through the eyes of my childhood.’’

What might be the world’s largest “Pong’’ game will be played April 19 and 24 as part of Philly Tech Week, the news website’s annual series of events, seminars and workshops spotlighting the city’s technology and innovation communities.

“This is one of the best things I could imag-

ine that could make people aware that there’s something happening here, and bring more people into the fold,’’ Technically Philly co-founder Christopher Wink said.

Wink estimated about 150 people might play over the two days — most will be chosen by a lottery, but some spots will be reserved for younger students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and math programs.

In today’s gaming era of lifelike graphics — think “Call of Duty’’ — and colorful characters — think “Angry Birds’’ — it’s hard to imagine how the pixelated “Pong’’ qualified as revolutionary when it was introduced in 1972.

The black-and-white arcade game used simple block shapes to simulate two paddles and a ball; the object was for players to hit the ball so their opponents could not return it. A home version paved the way for the game console industry.

At the Cira Centre, the game will be re-created using hundreds of lights already embedded in its north face.

The tower stands by day as a gleaming, mirrored edifice in west Philadelphia, but each night it illuminates the skyline with colored, patterned displays. A spokesman could not be reached for comment Thursday.

An artist’s impression of the giant Pong game.

Crown lawyer David Jardine said he feels Mastop’s actions make the whole legal profession look bad.

“It’s an embarrassment to the profession to have a lawyer go so far off the road to become a tool for a criminal organization,’’ said Jardine.

Manolakos and four other gang members or associates were convicted last November in connection to three murders, although police have said they believe as many as seven were killed by the gang.

When sentencing Mastop, who is a competitive shooter, McEwan ruled the man can have his gun collection returned when he’s released from prison.

Evidence showed Mastop had visited a Vernon gun club with gang members, bringing them in as his guests.

In the earlier sentencing hearing, Mastop’s lawyer David Crossin pointed to worse cases of lawyers breaking the law, including the lawyer caught trafficking heroin.

Crossin argued Mastop had been an upstanding member of the community and society prior to his involvement with the gang and was involved in local politics, the Vernon Bar Association and the Vernon and District Women’s Centre.

Police make second arrest after shooting along the Canada-U.S. border C ANADIAN PRESS

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Police in Abbotsford say they managed to track a suspect in an international border-shooting incident to a local home early this morning.

Const. Ian MacDonald says the man is Canadian and has a criminal history, but his name won’t be released until charges are announced.

MacDonald wouldn’t say if a weapon was seized during the arrest, but says police believe they have the man involved in the border shooting.

Canadian side of the border started Tuesday after one of two men fired on U.S. border agents just a few kilometres away from the Huningdon crossing in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Milne says agents on patrol encountered two men in camouflage and wearing backpacks in an area known as a drug smuggling corridor.

MacDonald couldn’t say what charges the suspect would face, or if he would face those charges in Canada or in the United States.

Connecting East and West

Arabic poetry translation aims to ‘foster harmony and connectedness’ between East and West, and between generations When most North Americans think of the Middle East, they envision the violent and unsophisticated caricatures of the Islamic world presented by Western media. This evening is a step toward correcting the absence of positive cultural inspirations.

Cranbrook resident Ghada Alatrash shares her English translations of lyrical, sophisticated, compassionate Arabic poems by Lebanese-born American poet Youssef Abdul Samad.

In translating these poems, Ghada Alatrash, who is Canadian and Syrian, notes, “My children and the poets are amalgams of the East and the West, a blend of

the old culture left behind in our homelands and of the new Western culture in which we now live. I am endeavouring to participate in the building of bridges across cultures, hoping to connect between my children’s sensibilities and my own, between an English-speaking reader and an Arab poet, and ultimately, between the West and the East.”

This evening of poetry is accompanied with special guest pianist Ivana Ferraro.

Key City Theatre April 19 at 7:30. Tickets are $20 Adults; $15 Students; 12 and under $10 and are available at the Key City Theatre box office or charge by phone at 250-426-7006.

Creston musical offering an optimistic outlook

Lorne Eckersley Creston Valley Advance

The sun might not come out tomorrow but Annie, the latest Footlighters Theatre Society and Adam Robertson Elementary School co-production, opens next Thursday, April 11, in Creston, rain or shine.

Since 1977, audiences have flocked to productions of the popular musical. Now thanks to a dedicated group of theatre enthusiasts, Creston residents get their turn.

Based on the long running (1924-2010) comic strip, Little Orphan Annie, the stage musical features familiar numbers like Tomorrow and It’s the HardKnock Life in a story set in 1933.

Creston audiences are in for something of a rare treat — 11-year-old Katie Foy takes on the role of Annie, who is also 11 in the story.

Annie is often played by girls in their teens.

“Katie has been quite the trouper,” said director Brian Lawrence.

“She has two solo numbers and takes part in several more, and she’s in nearly every scene, so she’s rehearsed up to five times some weeks, which is a lot of work for an adult, let alone an 11-year-old. But she has really opened herself up to trying new things to bring the character to life — Annie is highly optimistic, but vulnerable at the same time, and Katie seemed to really get that from the start.”

Of Footlighters’ decision to present Annie, Lawrence said, “It’s always had something for everyone.

“The original comic strip was serious, geared to adults and full of political commentary.

That premise was maintained until it ended in 2010. And younger readers, of course, could identify with Annie. The same holds true with the musical — it’s vibrant and full of life so kids can enjoy it, but it’s not ‘dumbed down’, so there’s still something there for adults.”

For three months,

Colin Hardwick and Katie Foy are featured in Creston’s Footlighters Theatre Society’s production of Annie. the cast and crew have been hard at it, with many rehearsing up to four times a week. Lawrence and musical director Simone Wiebe (who also appears on stage as the unlikeable Miss Hannigan) have been impressed with the dedication of the cast, most of which don’t have much background in musical theatre.

“Other than Simone, who played Maria in The Sound of Music, some of our leads have had relatively little experience in musicals — and they’ve all come a long way in the last few months,” Lawrence said.

“Colin Hardwick has had supporting roles in our last few musicals, but this time he gets to sing a few very emotional solos. Candace Foy hasn’t performed before, but her confidence and range have just blossomed, and it’s

been a pleasure to watch.

“And seeing Jordan Koop and Ashley Lee conspiring with Simone has been too much fun!

“Of course, I can’t overemphasize how impressed I am with the ensemble. It’s a great mix of about a dozen veterans and newcomers who have some complicated music, as well as several costume changes — some of them play six characters. Their collective role is to populate the world of Annie, and they do it remarkably well.”

Children have often been featured in Footlighters’ musicals and the director said their success comes hand-inhand with understanding their roles.

“The biggest challenge is making sure they have fun while still putting in the effort it takes to make sure they’re ready for the

stage,” he said. “It’s never as simple as having them memorize lines and lyrics and choreography. If they don’t understand why their character is doing something, they won’t understand why they, as actors, have to do it. You really have to pay attention to them — you can’t just bluff your way through it.”

Like all enduring theatre, Annie has themes that resonate year after year. The optimism of an 11-year-old orphan who finds herself in the company of a half dozen other parentless children is expressed in Act I, when she sings, “Tomorrow!

Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow! You’re always a day away!”

“The story might take place in 1933, but the characters have the same hopes and dreams, and strengths and weaknesses that we

have today,” Lawrence said. “And it’s a great reminder that no matter what troubles may befall us, we always have the hope of better times ahead.”

After hundreds of hours of planning and rehearsals, the cast and crew are more than ready to get the show on the road, or stage. Katie Foy, as Annie, is joined

by Andrea Daignault, Kienna Dyer, Mackenzie Fowler, Zoe Marini, Sydney Pugh, Shaylee Stuart, Jesika Troughton and Meredith Walker as orphans at the New York City Municipal Orphanage.

Annie is thrilled to be taken from there to spend Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks (Hardwick) and his assistant, Grace Farrell (Candace Foy), who vow to help the orphan find her parents. When Warbucks offers a reward, orphanage mistress Hannigan (Wiebe), her brother Rooster (Koop) and his girlfriend Lily St. Regis (Lee) hatch a plot to get their hands on the money.

The show is set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, and provides a fictional account of how President Franklin Roosevelt (Bob Purdy) was inspired to develop his New Deal, which boosted the U.S. economy.

Joining them is an ensemble (Morgan Benty, Gwen Benty, Keiryn Dyer, Frank Goodsir, Vern Gorham, Louise Lansing, Jasmine Lothien, Jesse Moreton, Laura Nelson, Marybeth Stenhouse, Jason Smith, Victoria Troughton, Jacqui Vezina, Cara Waddle, Gill Wells, Caleb Wells) playing a variety of roles, some as many as six.

Annie will run at 7:30 p.m. April 11-13 at Prince Charles Theatre.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors/ students and $5 for children under 12, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books or at the door.
