Favorit Cycles resumes its Boys & Girls Club bike donation program

Wildsight marks Earth Day with weekend of events C AROLYN GR ANT Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Earth Day 2013 will be celebrated on Monday, April 22, but Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook will be spending the entire weekend on Earth Day activities, all intended to provoke thought on climate change. The idea, says Wildsight’s Lars Sander-Green, is to get people thinking about climate change, and how small changes can lead to big things in terms of carbon footprint. It begins with the film Chasing Ice, to be

A local bicycle shop is putting on a program that takes in broken bikes, fixes them up and donates them to the local Boys and Girls Club. For the second year in a row, Favorit Cycles is taking in the old bikes and putting them to good use. James McKee, manager of Favorit Cycles, said the program was a chance to give back to the community. The shop buys used or broken bikes at $3 per pound for a trade. So if you’re buying a new bike, you can bring in your old bike and trade it towards a new one. “We’ve had people hear about it and call us up and say, ‘Wow, there’s some where I can deal with my old bikes,’” he said. “Instead of just throwing them away, it does something good for the community.” The shop has put together some conditions that bikes need to meet before they can be brought in. “You can’t just bring a pile of slag in and assume you can get a bike for free,” he said, but added that they will deal with the cases as they come in. “The point is to give some bikes to the Boys and Girls Club,” McKee said. “I think last year we gave them eight or 10 of them.” McKee said the shop takes bikes as long as they’re worthy of being fixed up. Last year, it took bits and pieces of 40 or so bikes to get those bikes that

shown Friday, April 19, 7:30 p.m., at McKim Theatre in Kimberley and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. Admission to both is by donation. The film, Sander-Green says, is a thought provoking look at decreasing ice around the world. “A National Geographic photographer did an extreme ice survey. He has time lapse videos of decreasing ice. The film makes it real, you can really see the ice melting,” Sander-Green said.

James McKee from Favorit Cycles is hoping that people are keen to bring down their old bikes, so the shop can fix them up and donate them to the local Boys and Girls Club. they then donated. He also said the majority of people come in and donate their bikes. McKee admitted that the program helps with marketing, but has that added twist of helping members of the community.

Favorit has set the parameters to higher quality bikes for the trade in, saying you have to be buying bikes worth upwards of $600 in the first place. They are also avoiding kids bikes. They have to deem the bike fixable, if it’s not then they will

most likely refuse it. “It’s the fine print, but it’s pretty fair,” he said. The program goes for at least the next four weeks at Favorit Cycles, located at 12 – 9th Avenue in Cranbrook. Call them at 250-489-3532 for more information.

Teck Resources Limited has received an Area Based Management Plan Order from the B.C. Ministry of Environment, providing clarity around watershed protection and allowing the company to move forward with mining activities in the Elk Valley. “This order we received from the B.C. government is a posi-

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark formally began the B.C. election campaign Tuesday with a visit to Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to end the current government and begin a 28-day run to form a new one. Clark began with the dramatic claim that the May 14 vote is “a choice that will do nothing less than define our province for another generation,” and quickly went on the attack against NDP leader Adrian Dix. “I can’t remember a campaign where the choices are as stark as this one, where we have a chance to grow government, grow taxes,

kill the opportunity for liquefied natural gas exports, or we have the chance to shrink government, grow the economy, lower taxes and pay off the debt for our kids,” Clark told reporters gathered outside Government House in Victoria. The NDP has supported LNG exports, but wants to extend B.C.’s carbon tax to natural gas drilling emissions that would add up to $100 million more a year. Clark has suggested taxes and royalties from LNG exports should go toward a “prosperity fund” that could pay off B.C.’s debt in 15 years. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins

Dix issued a brief statement Tuesday announcing Dayleen van Ryswyk has resigned and the party will nominate a new candidate.

Cherry Creek Falls one step closer to becoming park Meadowbrook Community Association rejoices as provincial government agrees to return a mineral claim to the Crown

To w n s m a n Sta f f

The proposal to create a new park in the Cherry Creek Falls area is one step closer to reality after Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced the Province’s support to have the mineral rights to the land in question returned to the Crown. “I had to persuade the Ministry of Energy and Mines to put a staking reserve over not just the area where the RDEK park is going to go but across the whole area. The mineral tenure is quite a large piece,” Bennett told the Townsman. “It was really quite a significant accomplishment.” Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Electoral Area E Director Jane Walter said it involved contributions from numerous people. “This is a significant step forward,” said Wal-

ter. “I would like to thank everyone who has worked on this project including MLA Bennett, RDEK staff, the owners of the mineral claim who have been so cooperative, the Ministries of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and Energy and Mines, the community of Meadowbrook and all those who donated funds.” The Meadowbrook Community Association has raised the funds to purchase the 188-hectare Mineral Claim and the process to help preserve the area is with the Ministry of Energy and Mines. “There are still a number of applications that we will have to go through, but the desire by the province to see this process continue to move forward has been a critical step,”

Teck gets go-ahead to move forward Continued from page 1 The Order, issued under Section 89 of the Environmental Management Act, stipulates the development of an area-based management plan to address the impact of selenium and other substances released by mining activities throughout the watershed. It will also

look at associated economic and social costs and benefits, as well as concentration targets and time-frames required to stabilize and reduce levels of these substances. Development of the plan is expected to take up to 15 months and activities on Line Creek

Phase II and other Teck projects are expected to move forward as originally planned. The Order establishes a long-term selenium concentration target for Lake Koocanusa, which Teck expects can be achieved using water treatment technologies they have outlined in their Valley-Wide Sele-

Earth Day this weekend Continued from page 1 On Saturday, Wildsight will present introduction to composting workshops in both communities. “Six per cent of B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions are from landfills,” Sander-Green said. “If you compost, you aren’t producing that methane.” Kimberley’s workshop will be at 11:30 a.m. at the allotment garden and Cranbrook’s will be at 3:30 p.m. at the public produce garden. Both are free, but please pre-register at wildsight.ca/compost. There will be a few discounted RDEK composters available for sale at the workshops. Wildsight will also be hosting open houses to demonstrate simple energy efficient upgrades that have been done to two homes. “People can come and see some of the small things you can do to get

on a pathway to lower emissions,” he said. “Residential heating is also a big contributor to emissions.” Kimberley’s open house is on Saturday, from 2 to 4 p.m. at 721 5th Avenue, and Cranbrook’s on Sunday, same time at 321 12 Ave South. Wildsight is also working with the Kootenay Carshare Co-op to bring car sharing to Cranbrook. “All we need is six car share members to start a branch of the car share co-op. Potential members should get in touch with us,” said Sanders-Green. “With the car share, the compost workshops and the home renovation demonstration project, we are giving locals options to reduce their carbon emissions in the three main personal emissions sectors: transportation, landfill waste, and home heating.”

nium Management Action Plan. “We have developed a plan and it does have a number of measures in it. We have been moving forward with some of those activities already, water diversion has been put in place at two of our sites,” explained Smith. “The Line Creek treatment facility is under construction. We expect construction will be complete by Jan 2014, and the plant is expected to be in full operation by June 2014.” The water diversion and treatment facility are part of an overall water management plan that Teck has committed to spending up to $600 million on over the next five years.

Wildsight released a

statement in response to the government order on Tuesday, April 16. “This is a first step toward a solution,” said executive director John Bergenske. “Wildsight looks forward to working with Teck, the Ktunaxa, communities and government ministries toward a long term solution. “The Ministry of Environment order outlines the beginning of a process. Wildsight’s goal remains a balance between extraction of this world class metallurgical coal resource and maintaining the globally significant wildlife, including fish and aquatic species of Canada’s southern Rocky Mountains.”

Lighten the load

Despite the weather (does anyone know who ordered the snow?) it’s spring, and with it comes a “lightening of the load.” We get to lose the heavy winter coats, boots, hats and mitts. It’s also the time we start thinking about lightening the load around the house. We are determined that all the stuff we saved because it will come in handy one day is going out the door because we can’t find “one day” on the calendar. Here’s a day that can be found on the calendar — actually its two days: Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27. Friday is donation day in the Manual Training Room at the Cranbrook Public Library. Come on down anytime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and drop off your gently used items. Friends of the Library volunteers will be glad to take them off your hands. Saturday is the third annual garage sale. Come on down to see what is there. You probably have some item in mind to pick and the chances are good that the Friends garage may have it at a great price. Talk about a win-win situation. If you are looking to “lighten the load” with pennies; bring them on down. The Friends of the Library have a “Pennies for Print” jar. It’s a big jar – let’s see if we can fill it! Don’t worry about rolling or counting them. We will do that. The Friends of the Library fundraisers are used to enhance library programs and services. Your donations and purchases will be greatly appreciated. Please note that due to space limitations, we are unable to accept large furniture and appliances. See you there. Michele Wilson Director Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library

Excessive taxation Mayor Stetski has been expounding the virtues of his new budget. I think this is a budget where Council is spending our tax dollars on frills in tough economic times and they should throw the budget out and start over. Mayor and Council must know 17 per cent of our population are seniors, some of whom received a 1.3 per cent increase in their pension, while others, who do not have indexing, got zero. We have 10 per cent unemployment, plus another two or three per cent of our taxpayers who are on some form of financial assistance, they

never got a raise. These folks represent roughly 30 per cent of our population. Does Council expect these folks not to eat or purchase medications, while their money is spent on fluff? It is time for Council to realize that taxpayers need a reduction in taxes, not an increase. Council can start by the elimination of a million dollars of “nice to haves.” One of our councillors wants to see the downtown more active, another is concerned about the store space that is vacant. I will suggest that a 26.67 per cent increase in expenditures over five years is not going to lure people and business to Cranbrook. An increase in property taxes to businesses in Cranbrook means an increase in the cost of goods and services, because local business do not have a pot of gold to draw from and they will pass the added cost on to the consumer. This leads to reducing downtown activity and leading to more store closures. Where in the budget is Naomi Johnston’s request (Townsman, Feb. 25) to install handrails in the Western Financial Place before someone falls down the stairs and gets badly injured or dies? The fire department’s concern that in the event of an evacuation the stairs will be too narrow with installed hand railings is an unfounded comment. Perhaps a professional engineer could offer ways that handrails can be safely installed. In an emergency people with mobility issues will get knocked down and trampled without a handrail. With a handrail the chances of everyone getting out alive is far greater. Council seems to be quite focused on preventing injuries or death from attacks by deer, yet the stairs in our WFP are of a much greater hazard than the deer. I fully support protecting the citizens of Cranbrook and our visitors from possible injury from a deer attack or from falling down the stairs in Western Financial Place. I hear rumors of a new CLC being formed and it is called Citizens Leaving Cranbrook. The cause — excessive taxation. Larry Hall Cranbrook

Not about party I am writing in response to the April 11 letter from J.C. Vallance, regarding Bill Bennett. I hear over and over this argument that not using the BC Liberals name

prominently on elections ads somehow indicates that a Liberal MLA is not worthy of office. I fail to see how it is at all relevant. As a parent of a youngster with PKU [Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder], I have been advocating to the government for better coverage of treatments since 2009. At the time, we lived in Burnaby and our NDP MLA wrote a letter to the Minister of Health on our behalf, but did nothing more. Since moving to Sparwood, I have developed a vastly different relationship with my MLA. Mr. Bennett has met with me several times to hear my concerns, communicated with me by phone and email numerous times, voiced my concerns to Ministry of Health staff and was instrumental in getting me a meeting with Minister MacDiarmid. He has gone above and beyond my expectations and continues to fight for what my family needs. We still have work to do, but he has vowed to see it through to the end and I have no doubt that it will be easier to accomplish our goals with his assistance. Mr. Bennett cares about the local community, understands how the Elk Valley relies on the mining community and works tirelessly on behalf of his constituents. We should vote for the individual who is going to represent us best and be most effective in advocating for our needs, and whether or not the BC Liberals are voted back in, I have no doubt that Mr. Bennett’s experience will make him influential in the next government. I’m not voting for the Liberals in the next election: I’m voting for Mr. Bennett because he cares about the area he lives in, and the people who live here, and he has far exceeded his ‘obligation’ in helping my family fight for what is right. I would vote for him whether he was a member of the Liberals, the Green Party or an Independent because he is a fantastic MLA. Please, let’s put party politics aside on May 14 and vote for the person who will represent us. And if you insist on voting for a party, don’t forget how the NDP ran the B.C. economy into the ground last time they were in power, and how their leader Adrian Dix admitted to falsifying documents in an official RCMP investigation.

New airport scanning software produces ‘stick figures’ instead of body outlines C anadian Press

OTTAWA — The federal government is changing the software on the full-body scanners used to provide security at airports so they no longer produce a complete outline of a traveller’s body. Transport Canada says the new technology will increase privacy while still ensuring security. The scanners have been in

use at Canadian airports for three years and there now are 52 of the devices installed across the country. They work by beaming low-level radio frequency energy over and around the passenger’s body. Instead of a silhouette of a person’s physique, the new software will produced a stick figure on the scanner’s screen and identify areas of the body

where objects might be concealed under clothing. Transport Canada says the scans can identify anomalies on a passenger, including metals and non-metals of all shapes and size; ceramic-type threats such as knives and sharp instruments; liquids and explosives. The department stressed that the scanner does not collect personal information from

the passenger, nor is the image correlated in any way with the name of the passenger or any other identifying information. Steven Fletcher, minister of state for transport, said the new technology is good news for air travellers. “This new software will ensure the continued safety and security of Canadian passengers, while respecting their privacy,’’ he said in a news release.

NHL adds five outdoor games for 2014 schedule The NHL is going to add five more outdoor games to its 2014 schedule, according to multiple media reports on Tuesday. The Winter Classic between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings at Ann Arbour’s Michigan Stadium had already been announced for Jan. 1 2014. TSN and ESPN are both reporting that five more outdoor games have been added to the 2013-14 season, with several other outlets confirming individual games. The additional five games include the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings playing at Dodger Stadium. Hockey will go up against football twice, as the New York Rangers will face both the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils at Yankee Stadium the same week as the Super Bowl. Super Bowl XLVIII is to be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. After the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, there will be two more outdoor games: the Pittsburgh Penguins will visit the Chicago Blackhawks and the Heritage Classic will return as the Ottawa Senators face the Vancouver Canucks at B.C. Place. Canadian Press

Former football player Pat Summerall, dead at 82 DALLAS - Pat Summerall, the NFL player-turned-broadcaster whose deep, resonant voice called games for more than 40 years, has died at the age of 82. Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell said Tuesday that Summerall had died. He could not immediately provide further details. Summerall was part of network television broadcasts for 16 Super Bowls. His last championship game was for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, also his last game with longtime partner John Madden. The popular duo worked together for 21 years, moving to Fox in 1994 after years as the lead team for CBS. Summerall played 10 NFL seasons (1952-61) with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants. He started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964. He also covered the PGA Tour and tennis. Associated Press

Ninth-inning double helps White Sox past Blue Jays 4-3 TORONTO - Dayan Viciedo hit a run-scoring double to snap 2-2 tie in the ninth inning and Hector Gimenez followed with a sacrifice fly as the Chicago White Sox held on to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Tuesday. Paul Konerko homered for the White Sox (6-8). Colby Rasmus and J.P. Arencibia hit home runs for the Blue Jays (6-8) before a crowd of 16,131 at Rogers Centre. Reliever Steve Delabar (1-1) starting his second inning walked Adam Dunn to open the ninth and Dewayne Wise ran for him. Konerko walked. Delabar struck out Conor Gillaspie, but Viciedo lined a double to centre that just eluded Emilio Bonifacio to score a run and put Chicago into a 3-2 lead. Gimenez hit a sacrifice fly against left-hander Darren Oiliver to put Chicago up by two runs. Matt Lindstrom (1-0) pitched a third of an inning to pick up the win. Addison Reed picked up his fifth save of the season despite allowing a run in the ninth. Canadian Press

Canada edge Czechs 5-4 in U18 exhibition game C ANADIAN PRESS

SOCHI, Russia Connor McDavid got the tying goal in the third period and Laurent Dauphin scored the game-winner in a shootout as Canada edged the Czech Republic 5-4 on Tuesday in their final exhibition game ahead of the IIHF under-18 championship. Braydon Point scored twice while Sam Bennett also had a goal

for Canada. The Canadians rebounded from a 4-1 loss to defending champion United States in pre-tournament play last week. The Czechs took a 4-2 lead early in the third period on a power play goal from Jakub Vrana, but goals 2:17 apart from Point and McDavid tied the game. “We played really well in the third,” said coach Don Hay. “We

battled back and were very competitive. “Overall, we’re pretty happy with the effort.” McDavid, the underage Erie Otters’ star who won’t be eligible for the NHL draft until 2015, scored on what Hay called a “great individual rush. “It showed his skating ability and skill. Against the U.S., he looked a little nervous, but that was to be expected.”

Kingston forward Bennett gave Canada the lead 2:45 into the game, Martin Kahout tied it and Point, of the Moose Jaw Warriors, put Canada up 2-1 after the first. What Hay called a lull in the second saw the Czech go ahead through goals from Roman Prikryl and Dominik Kabalik. Canada opens the round robin portion of the tournament Thurs-

day against Slovakia, then plays Saturday against Germany, April 22 against Switzerland and April 23 against Sweden. The final is on April 28. Canada expects an influx of players from junior teams that have been eliminated from their playoffs in the next few days. Canada won U18 gold in 2003 and 2008, but the Americans have won the last four years.

Tritons Swim Club fundraises for new equipment SUBMIT TED

The Cranbrook Tritons Swim Club held their 2nd Annual Swim-A-Thon Sunday Western Financial Place to raise money for new equipment for the club. The event featured 14 swimmers who took up the challenge to swim 200 laps or 2 hours, whichever came first. The swimmers ranged in age from 7-15 and swam a combined total of 2257 laps in the 2 hours allowed. The swim club is raising money to pur-

chase touch pads that can be used for hosting swim meets. The swim-a-thon raised over $2000.00 for the club on Sunday and the swimmers would like to thank all those that sponsored them. A huge thank you as well goes out to the local businesses that donated prizes for the event; Booster Juice, Canadian Tire, Canadian 2For1 Pizza, Columbia Theatre, Dairy Queen, Elizabeth Lake Lodge, Gericks, High Country, Lotus Books and Walmart.

that has been irking you either at work or when relating to an older relative. Someone might be much angrier than he or she is willing to tell you, much less admit to him- or herself. Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use your ingenuity to figure out a solution to a recurring problem. Break past conventional thinking, toss in some imagination, and you’ll get there with ease. Resolution feels good, and it allows you to continue on your chosen path. Tonight: Where there is great music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Work with each person directly. Be sure to evaluate both sides of an issue, and the right solution will appear. Realize what is happening with a loved one. This person wants more of your time and attention, so make it a point to reach out to him or her. Tonight: Surf the Web. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others come forward, and they might be much more assertive than they have been in a while. Listen rather than speak. You will

witness their newfound boldness. Recognize what is possible here, and offer your feedback only when asked. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to change a pattern in your daily life -- for example, you might want to walk more or start a diet. You know where you need more diversity in your life. If you decide to instrument a change, the chances are high that you will succeed. Tonight: Don’t push too hard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Count on yourself to get past a problem. Your way of handling this issue could turn it around. Your love of fun and imagination filters through difficult moments. Know what you want, and head down the path that feels right. Tonight: Listen to your inner voice.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We are the future. It may sound cheesy, but that’s the motto I live by, and it’s one of the reasons I believe so strongly in the need to prevent and reduce tobacco use among teens and kids. My passion for tobacco-use prevention started when I saw the harm that tobacco use caused my older sister. She started smoking at age 13 and ended up with an addiction that spiraled out of control, in many ways taking her childhood with it. Every year, tobacco kills more than 400,000 Americans, and the vast majority started smoking as children. Kids are overwhelmed with pressure to smoke, from tobacco industry marketing, their peers, movies and other sources. But we have the power within ourselves to win the fight against tobacco, and I am proud to advocate for policies proven to reduce tobacco use and save lives. To learn more about tobacco-use prevention and to see how you can be a part of the efforts of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, please tell your readers to visit www.tobaccofreekids. org. -- Gabe Glissmeyer, age 19, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Gabe: Thank you for writing and giving us the opportunity to tell our readers about the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. The cigarette companies do an excellent job of recruiting new smokers. It’s time for the rest of us to do our part to keep that in check. Dear Annie: I have a speech problem that makes my voice sound hoarse and gravelly, and although people can understand me, some ask, “Where are you from?” (They think I sound like Henry Kissinger.) I usually answer with the name of a local working-class neighborhood where people sound a bit rougher, and sometimes that shuts them up. But more often, they persist in commenting on my “accent.” I find this incredibly rude. Isn’t it wrong to question people like this? It’s none of their business why I sound this way. My city has a diverse population, and it’s not unusual to hear foreigners. I wouldn’t dream of asking them about their place of origin. The questions are starting to get to me. I was talking on my cellphone on the street, and some guy stopped and asked where I was from. I said “none of your business” and walked away. This guy was horrified by my rudeness. Maybe this is the best thing to say. Any other ideas? -- Native New Yorker Dear New Yorker: You could make up an unlikely response (“I’m from Canada”), but although the question is rude, we don’t think it’s intentionally so. You are sensitive about your voice, but people are curious, and you sound interesting to them. They mistakenly believe they are being friendly. You are not obligated to provide personal information. You can simply respond, “Why do you need to know?” or “I’m sorry, but I don’t like to talk about it,” and keep moving. Dear Annie: I feel for “Lost in the Country,” who has been married 36 years and recently learned that her husband was calling another woman. My wife also will sympathize with her. I was that man. Not only was I calling other women, but I was having sex with them, as well. I also looked at Internet porn. My wife finally caught me and asked me to leave. She guided me toward Sexaholics Anonymous. I totally gave myself to this 12-step program of recovery. SA saved my life and put me on a spiritual path to God. I hurt my wife and children and caused harm to those I was involved with. I cannot make it up completely, but I can continue to make amends wherever possible. My advice to “Lost” is to trust her instincts. Hold him accountable. If he responds with anger, he is hiding something. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. -- Into the Light Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries

Drop off your photo and name(s) of subject at the Cranbrook Townsman or Kimberley Bulletin office or email your high-resolution jpeg to production@dailybulletin. ca. Photographs will appear in the order they are received.

Yosh was born in Vancouver, BC on August 7, 1933. He came to Cranbrook as a boy. He left as a young man to serve overseas in the Canadian Peace Corps, and then returned to Cranbrook to start his family. Throughout his years he did many things that touched many lives. He may have served you a meal or a beverage at the Rainbow Dining and Dancing Club, or he may have helped to build your home or business as he was an excellent carpenter. Yosh was a Legion member and spent much of his time with good friends there, either on the dance floor or at the meat draws. He was also a valued and respected member of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles, where he held nearly every title the organization had. From member, to secretary, all the way up to Grand Worthy Provincial President, Yosh represented the Cranbrook Aerie throughout Canada and the USA with dignity and was greatly admired and loved. Through these organizations and throughout his life, Yosh made many wonderful friends who will all miss him dearly. Left to cherish his memory are his beloved partner, Karen Deveau, his children Rob Ismond (Dawn), Donna Nakahara (Herb Richter), Colin Nakahara and Noriko Nakahara (Jason White), his brothers Kutsumi and Koichi and sister Noriko and their families, as well as his sister-in-laws Barb and Penny and their families, his grandchildren Michelle, Christina, Corilynn and Tay. He will be sadly missed by Karen’s family as well. Yosh was predeceased by his mother Tsune “Terry� and his father Rinzo “George�, and his brothers Genshiro and Hiroki. There will be a Celebration Of Yosh’s Life at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at the Fraternal Order Of Eagles Hall in Cranbrook.

Canadians returning home from Boston Marathon carnage Will C ampbell Canadian Press

TORONTO — Canadian runners returning home from the Boston Marathon the day after two deadly explosions ripped apart the finish line say the attack turned what should have been a special accomplishment into an unforgettable tragedy. Ramona Gellel ran the race with her friend and was one of several marathon runners on the first flight from Boston to Toronto’s downtown airport Tuesday morning. She had finished the race when she heard about the blasts and immediately thought of her friend, who was about one kilometre from the finish line when the blasts went off. Gellel, who’s from Pickering, Ont., was relieved to find out her friend was not hurt, and gave her the race medal she had just won. “We were looking forward to celebrating. It puts a damper on things but we’re just glad everyone we were with is safe,’’ she said. Runner Carey Levinton, who was on the same flight, said Boston was in a glum mood the morning after the blasts. “It’s somewhat sombre... the city just embraces this event and to have it suddenly turn so tragic was just so sad,’’ he said.

More than a dozen Canadian runners who were on the Tuesday morning flight — some still wearing their blue-and-golden marathon jackets — said the tragic event has not scared them off from joining the Boston race again. “I hope to run it again next year,’’ said Gellel’s friend, Patty Demarco. More than 2,000 Canadians were registered for the storied race, but the federal government said late Monday it had no reports of any Canadians among the three people killed and more than 170 hurt. Foreign Affairs officials said they would continue to check with their counterparts south of the border to confirm that no Canadians were directly caught in the blasts. Other Canadians who witnessed the carnage swapped stories of survival in an effort to cope with the shock. Rob Campbell, who was among a group of Canadian runners who finished the marathon an hour before the explosions, said he met an Oklahoma man who ran right through the chaos. “He just kept going, went to the centre of the road and finished the race because he thought there might be bombs going off on the right side of the road also,’’

he said. “He had a pretty fascinating story.’’ Campbell said local residents were enraged by what happened. “They’re taking this thing really serious,’’ he said. “They’re not expecting this sort of thing to happen.’’ Campbell said he was planning to drive back home to Toronto with a friend on Tuesday and was bracing for major delays on the roads. “I would expect the troopers are probably going to choke down the traffic,’’ he said. “I suspect they’re going to investigate every car leaving Boston at this stage.’’ U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday the bombings were an act of terrorism but investigators do not know if they were carried out by an international or domestic organization, or perhaps by a “malevolent individual.’’ Police in some major U.S. cities were monitoring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events. At the Detroit Windsor Tunnel, where thousands cross the border from Ontario to Michigan daily, Tunnel President Neal Belitsky says that “all staff are sensitive to the incident in Boston.’’ While security measures aren’t being discussed, officials say they’re closely following events.

US arrests in Russian mob money-laundering scheme with celebrity poker games Associated Press

NEW YORK — Dozens of people were charged on Tuesday in what investigators said was a Russian organized crime scheme that included illegal, high-stakes poker games for the rich and famous. Federal authorities in New York City weren’t naming names, but they said the poker players

included pro athletes, Hollywood celebrities and Wall Street executives. None of them were facing charges. The money-laundering investigation led to arrests Tuesday in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and elsewhere around the country. There also were FBI raids at an apartment in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and a Madison Ave-

nue art gallery owned by two of the defendants. Among those named in an indictment filed in federal court was a wealthy Russian fugitive, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov. He was already under indictment in a separate U.S. case accusing him of bribing Olympic figure skating judges at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
