No fireworks on Canada Day

Life in Anatevka, circa 1905

A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

Canada Day celebrations in Cranbrook will likely be a toned down affair this year, as the city doesn’t have the money to put on anything to rival past years. The plan now is for festivities to take the form of a daytime event at Rotary Park with cake and music. Council did leave an option open for fireworks, in the case there’s an 11th hour proposal. Cranbrook received a grant from Heritage

Mount Baker Secondary’s production of Fiddler on the Roof opens tonight, Thursday, May 9 at Key City Theatre and plays through to Sunday, May 12. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and students. Pictured above, Teyve, played by Angus Liedtke, tells his wife Golde, played by Brianna Kennedy, about his terrible dream.

Local baker catches YouTube’s eye Cranbrook’s JJ’s Custom Cakery could land on YouTube’s home page – if you cast your vote S A LLY MACDONAL D Townsman Staff

A local cakemaker could land her videos on the home page of YouTube after being nominated in a high-profile contest. Jenn Johns of JJ’s Custom Cakery and her partner Paul Dalcanale create how-to baking videos for their YouTube

channel, Cupcakes and Cardio. Since they started the videos in March 2011, the channel has garnered more than four million views and 35,000 subscribers. “It has just taken off recently,” said Johns. “It’s taken on a life of its own. “We have fans all over the

world and the feedback we get it absolutely amazing.” “We have more subscribers than double Cranbrook. It’s absolutely so humbling. And we are small-time compared to the big YouTubers. That’s why this contest is so huge for us because it could catapult us into that big player category.” One of those subscribers

— Johns doesn’t know who — nominated the channel for YouTube’s monthly “On The Rise” program. The program selects four channels each month that are growing in popularity but haven’t yet reached 100,000 subscribers.

Canada for $2,500 which matches the city’s budgeted amount of $2,500 for festivities, and so there is $5,000 for celebrations. The city estimated the fireworks alone costing $7,000. A group of volunteers has not yet come forward to plan the event, so city staff and leisure services had been working on a plan for $12,150, but the city would have to contribute another $7,150 to meet that amount.

Showcase features performing arts’ best Annual East Kootenay festival now over, but the top performances will be on show on May 13 in the Showcase Gala concert

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The East Kootenay Performing Arts Festival has wrapped its successful season, and there’s one last chance to see the best of the fest next week. The Showcase Gala concert will be held at Key City Theatre on Monday, May 13 at 7 p.m. “The concert will feature young performers aged six to 18, and will prove that the East Kootenay has talent! Genres include dance, speech arts, piano, musical theatre, and classic voice. The festival end concerts are always very entertaining,” said Amy Miller, a member of the festival’s organizing committee. The festival was held from April 10 to 26 at

venues throughout Cranbrook. “We had excellent adjudicators who gave each student something to work on while still supporting them and giving them confidence to continue performing. Every day brought exciting performances by seasoned festival entrants as well as performers new to the festival,” said Ellen Bailey, a festival organizer. Now, adjudicators have selected some highlight performances in each genre to make up the Showcase. “The Showcase highlights the best of these entertainers, with something for everyone, from inspiring and entertaining speech arts to lighthearted musical theatre pieces to a choral performance by

In the dance category, you will see three

performances by members of Kimberley Dance Academy. Kathryn Boyd will perform a modern stage solo called “Show Off”; a jazz ensemble will perform a piece called “Waka Waka”; and a tap ensemble will perform a number called “Americano”. In the piano category, the Showcase audience will hear pieces by Chopin and Grieg, as well as a rendition of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” theme. St. Mary’s Catholic School will feature prominently in the speech arts genre, with students from kindergarten, Grade 4 and Grade 5 making the Showcase. “St. Mary’s School is a long time and now the only supporter of speech arts,” said festi-

If Cupcakes and Cardio wins the contest this month, they will be featured on YouTube’s home page for the rest of May, a huge opportunity for Johns, Dalcanale and the exposure of their business. “You can’t get better than that first line of exposure on YouTube,” said Johns. “The fact that we have been chosen from the thousands of channels on YouTube is an incredible honour in itself, but we want to win!” Cupcakes and Cardio videos cover a vari-

“The one we just did for Mother’s Day was a cupcake bouquet. That’s been really popular, people have loved

that and it’s gotten great reviews,” said Johns. The couple has just started a popular series called Backpack Baking, showcasing hikes around the East Kootenay. “We bought a backpack oven, so we film our hiking trip and we bake when we get to the top,” said Johns. The videos also include cardio tips, as Johns is a gym instructor in her spare time. Dalcanale and Johns started JJ’s Custom Cakery in March 2011 and operate out of their Cranbrook home as a side business. They cater baking for parties, as well as having a stall at Cranbrook Farmer’s Market and local fairs.

tenay Performing Arts Festival. 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 com-

mittee of volunteers, with sponsorship from numerous businesses and community groups, with special sponsorship by East Kootenay Community Credit Union.

City plans lower key Canada Day CONTINUED from page 1 “I don’t think the city can spend $12,000 and make up the shortfall,” said Coun. Diana Scott. “I think what we might have to do this year is forego the fireworks and the party at Moir Park with sound system and staff and some birthday cake. A party in Rotary Park may be the way to go.” Scott said that maybe by not having the celebration in Moir Park this year, a group would step forward

next year to take on the planning. Coun. Denise Pallesen agreed with Scott, saying she didn’t want an already busy staff having to take on more work. “Any time families get together it’s a Canada Day,” Pallesen said. Mayor Wayne Stetski said that council would move forward with the daytime celebration and hope that a group would come forward to sponsor the fireworks

celebration. Council decided on Rotary Park as it is more accessible than Moir. Fireworks would have to be held at Moir, though. If there is a fireworks sponsor, the festivities would likely be split into two separate events, a morning/afternoon of music and cake, followed by an evening fireworks display. As it stands now, though, Rotary will be the place to be for family celebrations on July 1.

Bylaws related to Lot 48 officially rescinded Submit ted

Almost eight years after the Regional District of East Kootenay took its first steps toward securing the permanent protection of District Lot 48, the property is now owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and is about to be zoned as park and open space. “The Nature Conservancy of Canada has purchased the property and a series of bylaw amendments are expected to come forward for first reading at the June board meeting to recognize, designate

and zone Lot 48 as natural, open space,” said RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay. “The effort to save Lot 48 from inappropriate development began in 2005 when the board introduced Bylaws 1880 and 1881 that would have seen Lot 48 re-designated from Resort Development to Rural Resource,” explained Gay. “Although many years have passed, those bylaws were still pending in our system. At our board meeting on Friday, in anticipation of the new bylaw amendments coming forward

in June, we officially rescinded Bylaws 1880 and 1881.” The bylaws have remained active for nearly a decade. In 2006, the board was set to hold a second public hearing on the bylaws which, if adopted, would have formally rezoned the land. The board postponed consideration of the bylaws to allow more time to see if the parties involved could reach a negotiated settlement for the long term protection of the land. Over the past seven years, the board has

continued to defer scheduling the second public hearing as ownership of the property changed and efforts to secure the preservation of the property continued. “Though many things have changed over the years, one thing we as a board have always recognized is the important cultural and environmental values of Lot 48. I am thankful we did not rush this issue. The delayed decision was the right decision and it will be fantastic to see this land permanently protected,” said Gay.

CDAC marking 40th anniversary Continued from page 1

“On May 17 we are having a variety show with various performances from local artists to celebrate the arts,” said Louise Shelby, the Arts Council Treasurer and Coordinator for the Anniversary Celebration. Among the line up of these talented locals are: Bud Abbott, comedic storyteller; Scott Buxton, a woodwind instrument performer and maker; Leather Britches, a Celtic band; Lorraine Butler and Ellen Bailey, two of Cranbrook’s singing instructors; and Cranbrook’s Anadil Dancers. The anniversary celebration proceeds will be going towards helping find a permanent building for the Arts Council.

Thursday, MAY 9, 2013

“The major challenge, and I mean major challenge, is that we have never ever had a permanent home. Up until recently we have been operating out of donated spaces,” Shelby explained. “Right now we are renting a space. We needed more permanency because people couldn’t find us every time we had to move and it prevented our ability to carry forward with our programs. Basically, we had to start all over again.” Shelby emphasized that the goal of the Arts Council is to gain the resources and funds to create an arts centre. But this centre would not just be for the Cranbrook and District Arts Council; it would be a shared

facility for all the arts programs happening in Cranbrook. “One of the things that the board is trying to do right now is to create not a space for the Arts Council, but rather a space for an Arts Centre which would incorporate any of the other arts groups that would like to be a part of this,” Shelby said. The anniversary is not only a milestone for the CDAC, but it is also sure to be an event packed full of quality entertainment and surprises. Shelby said there are some fabulous door prizes to be won at the event as well. “I would also like to mention that the community, especially the businesses downtown, have been just absolutely supportive and we re-

ally appreciate that,” Shelby said. Tickets for the 40th anniversary celebration are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, and free for children aged 12 and younger. They are on sale at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council gallery at 135 10th Avenue South and at Lotus Books on 10th. Although there will be tickets at the door, attendees are encouraged to get their tickets in advance. The Cranbrook and District Arts Council is found at 135 10th Avenue South and is open from Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. For more information about the council, phone 250-426-4223.

Residents reminded of City’s Streets and Traffic Bylaw this summer The City of Cranbrook wants to remind residents of the Streets and Traffic Bylaw, which came into effect in June 2010, which regulates on street parking of recreational vehicles and unattached trailers. The bylaw prohibits parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential streets between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and prohibits parking unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situation. The bylaw applies to travel trailers, tent trailers, campers, motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers. The intent of the regulation is to keep city streets safe and accessible for vehicular and pedestrian use. City staff fields numerous complaints on a regular basis relating to trailers blocking driveways and using

limited on street parking for long periods of time. “Enforcement of this bylaw is generally complaint driven,” said Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “When this amendment first came into effect, we did see a large increase in the number of complaints, simply because of the awareness factor. Since then, however, we have seen a significant decrease in the number of complaints.” It is recommended that residents find alternate places to leave their RV’s, campers, boats and trailers when not in use, other than on the street. To review a complete copy of the amended Streets and Traffic Bylaw 3678, 2010, please visit the city’s website at www.cranbrook.ca.

BOOKNOTES

Mike Selby

only operated for two years, and only published four books, but these four have become some of the finest books ever published in the 20th century. The publisher was George G. Booth, one of the most successful newspaper owners of his age. A successful ironworks factory owner from Toronto, Booth acquired the ‘Detroit News’ in the late 1800s. The improvements in faster and cheaper printing machines combined with a growing population of readers enabled Booth to quickly acquire a vast fortune. He also married the daughter of newspaper magnate James Scripps, which increased his wealth by ten. As the 19th century drew to a close, Booth had a profound experience. While visiting the Lenox Library in New York, he had his first encounter with thousands of beautiful books, which had all been finely bound by hand. He was especially taken with books published by the Kelmscott Press — a British press run by William Morris, who had used the printing techniques of the 15th century to create modern editions. Morris felt a book’s type, illustrations, design, and binding should meticulously flow together; a direct contrast to

the poor quality books being churned out by mechanical processes. Booth was both impressed and inspired. Upon returning home, Booth converted the attic of the ‘Detroit News’ building into his own private press. He installed a hand-operated letter press, carved his own type, and spent every free moment he had printing books “which will live for all time.” From 1900 to 1902, Booth printed the following: John Locke Scripps’ ‘The First Published Life of Abraham Lincoln’; William Caxton’s ‘The Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers’; Francis Bacon’s ‘Three Wise Men’; and Thomas More’s ‘Utopia.’ In addition to these handcrafted works of art, Booth came up with one of the best names for his new venture: The Cranbrook Press. Disappointedly, the Cranbrook Press is not named after our city, but it does have a connection. Booth named it after his ancestral town, the same Cranbrook in Kent, England, where Colonel Baker hailed from. His business demands forced Booth to abandon the Cranbrook Press after two years. Yet he strove to continue its tradition, hoping to give back to his community, as well as the burgeoning arts and crafts movement. Until his death in 1949, he and his wife used their wealth to build the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Cranbrook Museum, the Cranbrook Gardens and the Cranbrook Educational Communi-

Booth used his enthusiasm for hand crafted books for the Cranbrook schools, and this has had a deep influence on art and design during the first half of the 20th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a ‘Design in America: the Cranbrook Vision 1925-1950’ exhibit which attests to this. But his heart was always

with those four books he printed, and he explained his passion for them in a fifth book he printed titled “There is Something About the Cranbrook Press”...

Opinion/features Welcoming communities

Projects getting off the ground Submit ted by Melba Hanson

is “ready, set, go” for Welcoming Communities partners in Cranbrook and Kimberley. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is coordinating a number of projects in the two communities to welcome immigrants and ease their integration. This 15 month project is made possible through funding from the Federal Government of Canada and in partnership with the Immigrant Integration Branch of the BC Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour. Welcoming Communities involves a strategic collaboration of community stakeholders, businesses, non-profit organizations and service providers with a mutual passion and belief in removing barriers to social and economic inclusion for new immigrants. This collaboration was organized to enhance Cranbrook and Kimberley’s social and economic prosperity by strengthening our capacity to attract, recruit and retain internation-

ally trained new immigrants who chose this region as their home. Immigrant Welcome Centres will operate in communities, providing settlement services information and support. Kimberley’s is located at the Kimberley Public Library and is open. For more information about these services contact Pam at 250-427-6027 or e-mail at wckimberley@gmail.com. Cranbrook’s will be opening in July at 19-9th Avenue South. A Kimberley based videographer will be creating a short video documenting the immigrant experience in our region. The public libraries in both Cranbrook and Kimberley will each put on a number of events in collaboration with various community partners to offer new immigrants the opportunity to meet with other citizens and groups to discover what the communities have to offer. The events will provide the new immigrants an opportunity to network, provide access to information, services and activities. Cranbrook’s Food Action Committee will be offering new immigrants (as well as long term residents) a series of work-

shops on gardening at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden. They are collaborating with the Salvation Army’s Friends in the Kitchen Project. Wildsight in Kimberley will be doing similar gardening workshops at Rita’s Garden and dovetailing this with Kimberley’s Community Kitchen Project. Big Brothers Big Sisters is coordinating a Family Mentoring Project to provide new immigrants to the Cranbrook and Kimberley area the opportunity to connect with community members who will assist them in finding community resources and access to recreational connections. Success by Six will be involved by concentrating on welcoming new families with young children. Early childhood educators, caregivers and other early learning professionals will benefit from the workshops planned on how to best serve this segment of new immigrants. Despite recent economic uncertainties, the labour market in B.C. continues to face demographic and economic challenges due to an aging

workforce and a competitive job market which means there is an increasing need for internationally trained individuals to fulfill market and social demands. On the other hand, the challenges faced by the internationally trained individuals immigrating to Canada are oftentimes overwhelming. Despite impressive credentials, new immigrants face higher rates of unemployment as well as under-employment. Welcoming Communities provides a forum where employers, service providers and other stakeholder groups engage and share innovative tools and resources to promote cultural competence and diversity in their workplaces and tap into new Canadians’ talent. It is CBAL’s belief that an effective strategy to address integration of immigrants into the community requires the participation of the whole community. Look for the grand openings of the Welcoming Communities Offices in Cranbrook and Kimberley. For more information on the many programs offered by CBAL visit www.cbal.org.

Israel takes sides in the Sunni-Shia war

fter making two major air strikes in and near Damascus in three days, Israel informed the Assad regime on Monday that it is not taking sides in the Syrian civil war. But of course it is. The Syrian government promptly claimed that these Israeli attacks proved what it had been saying all along: that the “armed terrorist groups” that are trying to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime (i.e. the anti-regime fighters of the Free Syrian Army) are really the tools of a demonic alliance between Israel, the United States, conservative Arab states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Sunni Islamist fanatics of al-Qaeda. That is just as ridiculous as it sounds, but there were always a few little bits of truth in the Syrian regime’s story, and they are gradually getting bigger. It’s true that the Free Syrian Army is getting money and weapons from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and that the United States supports it diplomatically. So do almost all other NATO members It’s true that the al-Nusra brigades, the most effective fighting force in the Free Syrian Army, are made up of Islamist extremists whose leaders claim to have ties with al-Qaeda — and that this has not stopped the Arab Gulf states and the United States from supporting the FSA.

And it’s true that Israel is now attacking military targets on Syrian territory. It insists that those targets are actually advanced missiles and anti-aircraft weapons that Syria is planning to deliver to the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, and that may also be true. Hezbollah fought the Israeli army to a standstill in southern Lebanon in 2006, and Israis anxious about what it Gwynne el could accomplish with better weapons. Dyer But even if Israel’s main worry is that advanced weapons would reach Hezbollah, the air strikes took place on Syrian territory, and the Syrian regime claims that 42 officers and soldiers of its army were killed in them. At the very least, Israel no longer feels that preserving the hostile but stable relations that prevailed for so long between Tel Aviv and Damascus is a high priority. The Assad regime said that the attacks were tantamount to a “declaration of war”, and that is true. It’s not that the Israelis have decided that Assad must go. It’s rather that they have looked down the road, seen a Sunni-Shia war looming in the eastern Arab world – and decided, rationally enough, that they have to be on the Sunni side. That war is already underway in Syria, where men from the majority Sunni Mus-

Letters to the Editor

lim community are the main fighters in a revolt against a regime controlled by Shias of the Alawite sect. The same sort of war may be re-starting in Iraq, where the Shia majority who dominate the government have already fought one civil war with the Sunni minority in 2005-07. Those two Sunni-Shia wars might then coalesce and spread to Lebanon, where the Shias of Hezbollah are at odds with the Sunni Muslim and Christian communities. Weapons, money, and maybe direct military aid would come from Shia Iran to one side and from the Sunni countries to the south (Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf states) to the other. In such a war, Israel would certainly prefer a Sunni victory. It has no desire to take an active part in a Sunni-Shia war, nor would its intervention be welcomed by either side. It worries that radical Islamist regimes might come to power in Syria, in the western part of Iraq, and even in Lebanon if the Sunnis won such a war. But Israel is at peace with its Sunni southern neighbours, while the Shia regimes to its north in Syria and Iraq and the Hezbollah group in southern Lebanon are all its sworn enemies. If it comes to an all-out struggle, Israel knows which side it wants to win. And in the meantime, it already feels a lot freer to take direct military action against the Syrian regime and Hezbollah if it thinks its interests are threatened.

which head coach Jimmy Robinson described as a tune-up experience against some talented U16 club teams. However, the Wild had their hands full in a 1-1 draw with the Flathead Forests out of Whitefish, while losing 2-0 to the Flathead Rapids, which are based out of Kalispell. “I think the girls learned a lot from the weekend, because I think the second game, was one of the ugliest games that we’ve played, and they know it—and that was a learning thing,” said Robinson. “They were mad, they were disappointed, they were frustrated, and we sat down and had a really good

“We need to work on getting the first touch on the ball and getting first to [it],” said White. “We did end up tying with Whitefish—our first game—which is better than a loss, but we definitely are better and we could’ve beat those teams. “I’d say they weren’t the hardest teams we’ve played, for sure, but the scoring kind of led you to believe that, even though we didn’t play to our full potential.” The second game, the loss against Kalispell, was an especially physical affair, with play getting a little edgy and chippy, said Robinson, which made the loss that much more frustrating.

However, Robinson still saw a few silver linings. “My girls got upset, but they never backed down, so their compete level was still there,” Robinson said. “They might have lost a little focus, and they might not have had their head in the tactical part of the game, but the compete was always there.” Despite the outcome, Robinson wants to make it an annual event because the competition is good and travel is negligible. The Wild head right back down across the 49th parallel this weekend as they head into Coeur d’Alene for a tournament organized by the Sting, which is the host club. White said the team has been addressing some shortcomings over the past week, which were exposed by the two teams in Kalispell. “Working as one full team, rather than making individual plays,” White said. “Just wanting it more and getting first to that ball.”

Hockey Alberta bans hitting in pee wee ALISON AULD Canadian Press

One of Canada’s largest hockey associations will ban bodychecking for peewee players as momentum grows to have the disputed practice eliminated for adolescents who doctors say are suffering high rates of hockey-related concussions and fractures. Hockey Alberta announced it would do away with bodychecking for 11- and 12-year-old players following a fractious debate that saw the resignation of Hockey Calgary’s president after he suggested the practice be banned. “Our players’ safety is the foundation in making this decision,” Rob Virgil, Hockey Alberta’s board chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “There is overwhelming evidence that bodychecking is the single most consistent risk factor for injuries and concussions in youth ice hockey.” The announcement comes as several provincial hockey associations prepare for their annual general meetings, where many plan to discuss

whether bodychecking should continue to be allowed at the peewee level. Hockey Nova Scotia will debate the issue this weekend when a group of physicians, including a pediatric neurologist, a pediatric brain surgeon and a sports physiotherapist, will make the case to ban bodychecking at the peewee level with the hope that it could eventually be extended to bantam hockey. Dr. Andrew Lynk, a Nova Scotia physician and the incoming president of the Canadian Pediatric Society, is co-ordinating the presentation and says he will lay out the growing body of medical evidence that supports a ban on checking for young kids. “We know that kids with one concussion seem to be susceptible to getting secondary concussions, so it can actually end or shorten your hockey career,” he said from his office in Sydney. “At that age, the adolescent brain is making huge changes ... so it is a sensitive time, for sure.”

Canucks head into uncertain future after playoff sweep

t least there wasn’t a riot in the streets this time. The Vancouver Canucks suffered the indignity of getting swept out of the first round of the playoffs against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, and pundits are forecasting a rough future for the club. Fire Alain Vigneault! Fire Mike Gillis! Trade Kesler! Trade Schneider! To be sure, its all just a bunch of noise, but there are some valid points to be addressed and analyzed. First off, the stats. Vancouver has lost 10 of their last 11 playoff games. Vancouver scored only seven goals in five games in their first-round series against the L.A. Kings last year, and only scored eight goals in their series against the Sharks. San Jose was awarded 28 power play opportunities, while Vancouver had 13 chances with the man-advantage in the series. Each Sedin twin had three points apiece in the San Jose series. Last year,

Henrik had five points, while Daniel had two against the Kings (however, the latter didn’t play for three games of the series due to a concussion). Ryan Kesler’s only points came when he scored twice in one game against the Sharks, but he only collected three apples against the Kings. You could see it against the Kings, but it was this latest series against the Sharks that exposed Vancouver’s major weakness in the playoffs: an inability to score goals. Chris Higgins is without a goal in the last two playoff series outings, while Zack Kassian is in the same boat. Mason Raymond only has one goal in nine playoff games, and Derek Roy, who the Canucks picked up at the trade deadline, couldn’t make an impact in the post-season. San Jose also won the special teams battle, with a power play percentage of 29.2, while Vancouver was rated at 20 per cent. After all, the Sharks were given plenty of opportunities over the series to tweak and per-

fect their ability to score with the man-advantage. It is never classy to criticize the officiating, but it was disheartening to see a lack of consistency across the board when it came to calling penalties. The numbers speak volumes—San Jose with 28 power play opportunities to Vancouver’s 13. Was Vancouver undisciplined at times and deserving of some of those penalties? Absolutely, but there were a few instances, such as in Game Three when Kesler got cross-checked from behind into the boards by Brad Stuart with the referee eight feet away in the corner, that should’ve warranted a penalty. However, the play went on uninterrupted. Complicating matters was Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa, who shot off his mouth after the game, calling out Logan Couture and Joe Thorton for diving. With the antics of Alex-

andre Burrows and Kesler in the past, the Canucks don’t really have any credibility on the issue of diving. Although their save percentages don’t suggest it, the Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider were probably the best players out on the ice. Yes, Schneider had a terrible third period in Game Three, but that just goes to Trevor show how Crawley slim the margin of error is in playoff hockey. Luongo, on the other hand, played well enough to keep the Canucks in the action for the first two games, but his team didn’t help him out in the offensive department. It goes without saying that their two consecutive early playoff exits puts AV on the hot seat. It’s fair to question some of his decisions in the series, like switching out Roberto Luongo for Cory Schneider in Game Three, when it was clear that goal-

tending was the least of Vancouver’s issues in their first two losses. However, love him or hate him—he’s still the winningest coach in Canucks franchise history. Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis isn’t safe either, as some of his trades and inability to nurture and develop young players has fans calling for his blood. Vancouver doesn’t have a lot of blue-chip prospects, and the ones they do have need more seasoning. Jordan Schroeder showed some promise, but AV seemed to favour Andrew Ebbett. A bright spot was Frank Corrado, who looked capable of holding his own on the back end after getting called up at the end of his junior season in the OHL. The Canucks gave up a second-round draft pick and a defensive prospect for Roy, who didn’t add the scoring pinache that the team hoped for. Vancouver picked up Sammy Pahlsson last season as a rental for two fourth-round draft picks, but its safe to say that one didn’t work out.

It’s always hard to pin the blame on management when it’s the players who strap on the skates and play the game, however, sometimes a shakeup is a good thing. I point directly to the L.A. Kings last year, which replaced head coach Terry Murray for Daryl Sutter midway through the season, made a few smart roster moves, and ended up with a Stanley Cup championship. They didn’t blow up the team, they didn’t do a topto-bottom rebuild, but Sutter’s arrival brought a new culture into the dressing room, which was instrumental to turning their fortunes around during the season in order to peak for their playoff run. Perhaps this is what the Canucks need—a new culture. AV has done a great job with the team over the years, but the results have been the same. And as a man much smarter than me once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.”

Kevin Martin adds a new member to curling team Scot t Edmonds Canadian Press

Former Randy Ferbey team member Dave Nedohin has joined Edmonton skip Kevin Martin and given his bid at winning the Olympic curling trials new life. “It puts us as one of the top teams again instantly,” Martin said from Edmonton on Wednesday after the pair made their announcement. “This is an exciting time for team Martin.” Nedohin replaces John Morris, who surprised many when he departed the Martin foursome late last month after seven years. Morris then announced he was joining B.C. skip Jim Cotter’s team. “Obviously in this situation, once the change in our team was inevitable, Dave was obviously our first choice for so many reasons,” said Martin. His shot-making ability was at the top of the list. Nedohin joined Ferbey in 1997 and throwing final rocks

helped win four Briers and three world championships. But he wasn’t an easy catch. After a year skipping his own rink following Ferbey’s retirement, Nedohin suggested last month he was going to step back while wife Heather focused on her own Olympic trials bid. Then came Morris’s announcement, but initially Nedohin said he declined Martin’s offer to return to the game. Then his parents offered to help out with the child care while both he and Heather try to qualify for the Olympics. The Roar of the Rings, where the berth will be decided, will be held in Winnipeg (Nedohin’s home town, and Morris’s coincidentally) in December. The location was another bonus for Nedohin. There is always a period of acclimatization when curlers join new rinks, but Martin says after so many

years watching each other, even curling together in the odd celebrity event, Martin sees it being relatively short with Nedohin. “I bet we’ve played 100 times if not more than 100 times,” he said. “There’s not going to be too much of a learning curve, that’s for sure.” Martin also downplayed the changes which have raised some eyebrows in the curling world, if only for their timing with the trials ahead. “Teams just can’t stay the same forever, sports just don’t work that way.” Martin laughed when asked if he would surrender skip rocks. Nedohin will be throwing third stones, something he hasn’t done a lot of in competitive curling since 1997. But he says he’s looking forward to it, plus the chance to sweep more, and Martin says Nedohin’s sweeping ability is just one more reason why he’s such a good fit.

Sports Lions GM Wally Buono keeps busy during off-season Dan R alph Canadian Press

It has been an off-season of change for Wally Buono. The B.C. Lions GM and vice-president of football operations has been busy revamping his roster following the club’s heart-breaking West Division final loss to the Calgary Stampeders. Buono dealt such veterans as defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell (to Toronto) and backup quarterback Mike Reilly (to Edmonton), released others like receiver Arland Bruce III and cornerback Byron Parker while re-signing more than 20 players, including quarterback Travis Lulay, offensive linemen Jovan Oliafoye and Ben Archibald and linebacker Solomon Elimimian in an attempt to earn B.C. its second Grey Cup title in three seasons. But no move was more significant than the trading of 14-year veteran slotback Geroy Simon - the CFL’s all-

time receiving yards leader - to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Jan. 24 for receiver Justin Harper and a 2014 third-round pick. Simon, who spent 12 seasons with the Lions, needs just 29 catches to break Ben Cahoon’s CFL record of 1,017 career receptions. Simon, 37, missed five games last year with hamstring problems, limiting him to 54 catches for 700 yards and two touchdowns. It marked the first time in 10 seasons Simon hadn’t cracked the 1,000-yard plateau. “For us, 2013 is a time of change,” Buono said during a CFL conference call Wednesday. “The change, obviously when you consider the fact we traded Geroy Simon, is a significant thing. “He’s a class act and we’re going to miss him but at the end of the day my job is to make sure we field the most competitive team. The off-season has been very very very busy but

I think it has been very very positive.” Buono has never shied away from making tough personnel decisions. He released Hall of Fame slotback Alan Pitts following the 2000 season in Calgary and also cut receiver Jason Clermont, twice the CFL’s top Canadian with B.C., after the ‘08 campaign. It’s that eye for talent and knack for knowing when a veteran’s best days are behind him that have helped Buono register a CFL-record 254 career coaching victories and record-tying five Grey Cup titles. Buono has also been named the league’s coach of the year four times, second only to Don Matthews, who had five. Buono said even if B.C. had successfully defended its 2011 Grey Cup title, changes would’ve been made this off-season. “You can’t allow everybody to age all at the same time,” Buono said. “It’s a tough busi-

ness, we all know that. “But my job is to provide (Lions head coach Mike Benevides) with what he wants and his job is to win football games. At the end of the day I think we put ourselves in that position.” Benevides, who replaced Buono as Lions coach after ‘11 campaign, agreed.

“You can’t allow everybody to age all at the same time. It’s a tough business, we all now that. ” Wally Buono “It was a tremendously disappointing result, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “But those changes would’ve occurred anyways.” One player still on Buono’s radar is receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux, who played with B.C. in 2009-’10 before joining the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. Arcene-

aux was waived Wednesday by the New York Jets but Buono said the move was expected and Arceneaux, 25, would re-sign with the NFL club Thursday. “Manny is a player I have high regard for and I know this organization does to,” Buono said. “We’ve stayed in constant touch . . . and he lets me know how things are going. “We wish him the best but if he was available we’d have a definite interest.” But it’s not as if B.C.’s roster needs revamping. The Lions posted a league-best 13-5 record last year but their season came to an abrupt halt with a 34-29 home loss to Calgary in the West final. And that was a bitter pill to swallow for Benevides, a Toronto native and the CFL’s lone Canadian-born head coach. “It (2012 season) was a dream come true for a Canadian kid born in this country who now gets to be a head

coach in this great league,” Benevides said. “The players did everything I asked of them. “Unfortunately on the last day . . . we weren’t able to win that last game and that’s probably the hardest part. But you have to look at the entire body of work and I’m proud of the organization and players.” Benevides’ coaching staff returns relatively intact as offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine will also work directly with the team’s receivers after receivers coach Travis Moore didn’t return. Jarious Jackson, Lulay’s backup during B.C.’s 2011 Grey Cup run who earned another ring last year with Toronto, is also back with the Lions but as their quarterbacks coach. It’s a move Lulay, the 2011 CFL outstanding player, approves. “He’s a guy I’ve run the gamut with in terms of playing the position and to get Jarious back is something I’m excit-

ed about.” Lulay said. “He started three of four games last year and threw a TD pass in the Grey Cup which was the last game played in our league, so it doesn’t get fresher than that.” Lulay said continuity in the Lions’ coaching staff is pivotal heading into the 2013 season. “It’s important from a player’s perspective knowing you’re going to battle with guys on the staff you’ve been there before with,” he said. “Much of the staff is here that we won a championship with in 2011.” One of Buono’s biggest off-season moves was re-signing Lulay, 29, to a contract extension reportedly worth $450,000 annually, making him one of the CFL’s highest-paid players. Lulay had a career-best 66.5 per cent completion average last year, passing for 4,231 yards with 27 TD tosses and just 10 interceptions.

City of Kimberley PUBLIC NOTICE The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice that it intends to amend City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994. Bylaw No. 2471 (Amendment No. 119, 2013 to Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994) proposes to create a new M-3 Solar Industrial Zone. The intent of the M-3 zone is to provide for energy generation from renewable sources to foster diversification and growth in the local economy and support environmentally, socially and economically sustainable community development. The M-3 Zone would allow Solar Energy Facility as a permitted use, which is defined as: “an electric generating facility whose main purpose is to collect and convert solar energy to generate, store, distribute and supply electricity and consists of one or more solar collector panel, film, shingle, or other device and other accessory structures and buildings, including substations, electrical infrastructure, transmission lines and other appurtenant structures and facilities.” Black Press files

Hospital construction and operation has moved to public-private partnerships under the B.C. Liberals. The NDP wants to change that.

Election issue: health care privatization

Bylaw No. 2471 (Amendment No. 119, 2013 to Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994) proposes to rezone land legally described as Part of District Lot 11311 Kootenay District, except parts lying within District Lots 13346, 13347, 13419, 13420 and 13429 (PID 017-006-708) as shown in heavy outline on the map below from M-1 Industrial, Wholesale and Transportation Zone to M-3 Solar Industrial Zone. The subject lands comprise approximately 37.5 hectares (92 acres) on part of the closed Sullivan mine (concentrator) site in Kimberley, BC.

A series comparing party platforms on an issue-by-issue basis To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

DP leader Adrian Dix has promised to repeal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union contracts and allowed contracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government. Parts of that legislation were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the government was forced to pay compensation and consult with unions before any further contracting out of services. In a pre-campaign inter view with <I>Guardian</I>, the Hospital Employees’ Union magazine, Dix made no specific commitments. “We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service,

given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014-15,” Dix told the HEU publication. They’re not really cuts. After a string of six-per-cent increases, the growth of health care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year. After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public service unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election budget proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally protected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensation and retraining, and required negotia-

tions before any further contracting out of health care jobs. Judy Darcy, then secretar y-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP candidate in New Westminster, said at the time that the legislation allowed the government and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partnership.” Platform highlights: • The B.C. Liberals emphasize their legislative change to allow Licensed Practical Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020. • The B.C. NDP distances itself from public-private partnerships to build and run hospitals. It promises to “accelerate” Surrey Memorial Hospital’s criti-

cal care expansion “as a public project,” and Dix has said 30-year contracts are too long for health care facilities. • The B.C. Conservative platform criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premiums. Party leader John Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expansion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital. • The B.C. Green Party platform promises to “support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of community-based health, social and education services.” It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.

A Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2471 will be held on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 6:30 pm in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC.

FEATURES WIDE WORLD

The Maldives: a tropical oasis in the Indian Ocean Kathy Holmes of Uniglobe Travel explores the island resorts of the Maldives, off the coast of India

he Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 kilometres. These atolls structures are formed on top of a sharp ridge rising from the ocean, making way for their secluded uniqueness. With one resort per island, it is perfect for a relaxing, romantic holiday surrounded by water and unlimited marine life. The islands lie in the centre of a major trading route and have attracted settlers from Arabia, Africa and the Indian subcontinent for the past 3,500 years. Arab traders en route to the Far East recorded visits to the Maldives as early as the

2nd century AD. Today in the Maldives there is a population of approx 400,000 people living on 200 inhabited islands. As many as 100,000 live on the capital island of Male. The main industry is tourism with over 100 of the islands containing resorts. The local language is Dhivehi, a unique mixture of Sanskrit and Arabic. English is also widely spoken and many of the schools now teach in English. In a place where there is more sea than land, there is no end to the fun things to do in the water. Every resort in the Maldives has a sports centre that offers a wide range of water activities. They are all wellequipped – with masks and snorkels and boards of various sizes – wheth-

City of Kimberley PUBLIC NOTICE

modations in the Maldives have features to suit every guest’s needs. With a selection of beachfront resorts, ocean cottages with thatched roofs or over the water bungalows you can be assured that you truly surround yourself with the aquamarine waters of this idyllic destination. The Maldives is also

a well known destination for surfers from all over the world, with the southwest monsoon bringing with it massive swells, especially from June to September. The size range from 3 to 8 feet. There are several well-known surf breaks in North and South Male Atoll. The warm waters of the Maldives have high

visibility throughout the year, with water clear enough to see the passing fish as far as fifty feet away. Add to that the spectacular formation of more than 3,000 coral reefs and the free flowing tides of the monsoons, and the result is one of the world’s richest diving coral reef areas.

You can fly from Toronto direct to the Maldives for seven nights from $2800/person including all meals, unlimited drinks, and seaplane transfers to the resort. Call the girls at Uniglobe Baker Street if you want more information! 250-426-8975 or visit us at 24-10th Ave. S. Cranbrook.

Stats Canada releases National Household Survey results C ANADIAN PRESS

City of Winnipeg

The snake found in a Winnipeg dumpster will be held by the city until a home can be found for it.

Winnipeg resident finds python in dumpster Ste ve L ambert Canadian Press

WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police faced a slithery situation Tuesday night when a citizen came across a live python in a Dumpster behind an apartment complex. It’s believed the person was putting their own garbage into the large bin when they heard a rustling sound, saw the snake and called police. “A member of our canine unit did attend ... and he was able to safely contain the snake in a (smaller) recycling bin,’’ Const. Jason Michalyshen said Wednesday. “Not everybody feels comfortable with a situation like that, but certainly members of our canine (unit) go above and beyond what they do on a daily basis.’’ The serpent turned out to be a ball python — smaller than most other types at just over a metre long and not poisonous. But officials were still relieved it didn’t slide out of the Dumpster. “We’re glad that it didn’t get out and a child didn’t come across it on the streets,’’ said Leland Gordon,

chief operating officer of the city’s animal services department. Winnipeg police dealt with a more dangerous reptile in 2008, when a man was bitten in the face by a poisonous gaboon viper that was on the loose. Antidote had to be flown in from Ontario. On other occasions, city police have had to deal with pet snakes escaping into adjacent apartments. An investigation is underway to find the python’s owner, who could face charges under the provincial Animal Care Act. The law carries a maximum penalty of a $10,000 fine and six months in jail. Gordon urged exotic pet owners to keep tabs on their animals and not abandon them. “It’s very important that people who own exotics understand that there’s a portion of our community that is terrified of snakes, obviously. So when you have a snake like this, find a home for it if you don’t want it.’’ The serpent was in good shape, despite spending an evening in the cool spring weather.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada released the first tranche of results Wednesday from the 2011 voluntary National Household Survey, which replaced the cancelled mandatory long-form census. Some highlights: — Canada was home to an estimated 6,775,800 immigrants in 2011, comprising 20.6 per cent of the population — more than ever before and the highest proportion of all G8 countries. — Canada’s aboriginal population grew by 20.1 per cent — 232,385 people — between 2006 and 2011, compared with 5.2 per cent for non-aboriginal people. — Almost half (48.1 per cent) of all children aged 14 and under in foster care in Canada in 2011 were aboriginal children. — Aboriginal children aged 14 and under made up 28 per cent of Canada’s total aboriginal population, while their non-aboriginal counterparts represented 16.5 per cent of all non-aboriginals. — About 1,162,900 for-

— 7.8 million people, 23.9 per cent of the population, reported having no religious affiliation. — Slightly more than one million people, or 3.2 per cent of the population, identified themselves as Muslim, while Hindus represented 1.5 per cent, Sikhs 1.4 per cent, Buddhists 1.1 per cent and Jews one per cent. — 1,400,685 people identified themselves as aboriginal in 2011, representing 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population. Aboriginal Peoples accounted for 3.8 per cent of the population in 2006, 3.3 per cent in 2001 and 2.8 per cent in 1996. — Only 17.2 per cent of aboriginals reported being able to conduct a conversation in an aboriginal language, compared with 21 per cent in the 2006 census. — The survey, which replaced the mandatory long-form census cancelled by the Harper Conservatives in 2010, is filled with warnings that the data may not be as accurate, given the survey’s voluntary nature.

Fewer Jedi Knights in a galaxy not so far away C anadian Press

OTTAWA — Strong, the Force is not. In Canada, at least. Once numbering in the vicinity of 20,000, the ranks of those in this country who claim to be Jedi Knights have dwindled to fewer than half that figure, according to Statistics Canada’s first release of data from the 2011 National Household Survey. “A lot less this time. I think there’s about 9,000 reporting Jedi,’’ said Jane Badets, a senior analyst at Statistics Canada.

eign-born people immigrated to Canada between 2006 and 2011, making up 17.2 per cent of the foreign-born population and 3.5 per cent of Canada’s total population. — More than 200 different ethnic origins were reported in the 2011 survey, with 13 of them representing more than a million people each. — Nearly 6,264,800 people identified themselves as a visible minority, representing 19.1 per cent of the population. 65 per cent of them were born outside Canada. — South Asians, Chinese and blacks accounted for 61.3 per cent of the visible minority population, followed by Filipinos, Latin Americans, Arabs, Southeast Asians, West Asians, Koreans and Japanese. — More than 22.1 million people — two-thirds of Canadians — said they were affiliated with a Christian religion, including 12.7 million Roman Catholics, the largest single group.

“And that was true elsewhere in other countries. A lot less than in other countries, too, doing censuses. Very low reporting of things like Jedi.’’ What started as a gag among friends on a British Columbia ski hill ballooned into something of a phenomenon on the 2001 census when thousands of Canadians told Statistics Canada they followed the Jedi religion of Star Wars lore. But real-life Jedis insist their religion is no joke. “A Jedi is not someone who acts like the way they do in the movies,’’ Maha Vajra, the self-described Grand Master of the Canadian

Order of the Jedi, said in a recent interview in which he asked to be identified by his adopted Jedi name. “We don’t dress up funky, we don’t carry light sabres, we don’t combat the Empire.’’ Real-life Jedis readily acknowledge their movie counterparts are purely fictional. They see the films as inspirational and fantasy parables, in much the same way other religions use fantastic stories to glean morals. Jediism is the study of the philosophies largely borrowed from Buddhism and Daoism in the Star Wars film series, Vajra said in an interview from St-Raymond, Que.

“What we do is what the masters of Jediism in the movies explain: self-mastery, responsibility, practising virtues like compassion, charity, (and) forgiveness, in everyday actions. This is what Jediism is.’’ Vajra acknowledged some newbies will dress up as Obi-Wan Kenobi and wield a plastic light sabre at gatherings, but those habits don’t last long in the real Order of the Jedi. “In the beginning, there’s this fantasy escape mode where they try to live in another world,’’ he said. “But our job is to bring them back here and allow them to see they can be happy in this world.’’ Interestingly, although their numbers have fallen off, Jedis still outnumber other religions. Statistics Canada says 1,050 people declared themselves to be Satanists in the 2011 survey, while 1,745 were Scientologists and 6,130 were Zoroastrians. There were also 1,055 Rastafarians scattered across the country.

At least 31 people in 3 nations detained in investigation of Belgium diamond heist R af C asert Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Unlike the brilliant thieves in “Ocean’s Eleven,’’ it appears that those behind the clockwork-precision, $50 million diamond heist at Brussels Airport may not get a Hollywood ending. After three months of virtual silence on the matter, authorities struck this week, detaining at least 31 people in a three-nation sweep and recovering so many diamonds from the loot Antwerp traders lost that they are still figuring out the exact value. Officials said that

among the people held in Belgium, France and Switzerland on Tuesday and Wednesday are some with violent criminal pasts; the one person held in France is believed to have been one of the robbers at the airport. The evidence seized includes large sums of cash, precious stones and luxury cars. “It was a total surprise for us,’’ said Caroline De Wolf of the Antwerp World Diamond Center, whose traders lost millions in the Feb. 18 heist. “But we were delighted when we heard.’’ Six to eight people were detained in Gene-

va, and 24 in and around Brussels. It was unclear exactly what roles each suspect may have played. Some 250 policemen were involved in the dawn raid in the Belgian capital, and many of the two dozen suspects were being interrogated late Wednesday. It could take at least another day before it’s clear how many will be placed under arrest, said Anja Bijnens, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office. Perhaps the most important discovery was in Geneva of stones that could immediately be linked to the cache spir-

ited away from the airport. That theft ranks among the biggest diamond heists of recent times, and many liken it to the plot of the 2001 Vegas heist movie, “Ocean’s Eleven,’’ which stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, for its clinically clean execution. “In Switzerland, we have found diamonds that we can already say are coming from the heist, and in Belgium large amounts of money have been found. And the investigation is still ongoing,’’ said JeanMarc Meilleur, a spokesman for the Brussels

‘Do me a solid’ and free jailed American, Dennis Rodman asks North Korean leader in tweet ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is tapping his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to call for the release of a Korean-American man detained in the North. Rodman met with Kim and watched an exhibition game together when he visited Pyongyang in February. In a tweet on Wednesday, Rodman called on Kim “to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose.’’ Bae is a tour operator arrested in North Korea in November. The Supreme Court sentenced him last week to 15 years of hard labour for un-

The Helvetic Airways aircraft from which millions’ of dollars worth of diamonds were stolen on the tarmac of Brussels International Airport. prosecutor’s office. He said police had also found luxury cars. Meilleur was scant on detail, yielding no clues as to how police got on the trail of the suspects. In Geneva, prosecutors said in a statement that “a very large quantity of diamonds was seized’’ during the sweep “coming from the spectacular heist at Brussels airport.’’ While Belgian authorities spoke of six detentions in Switzerland, Geneva prosecutors put it at eight, including a businessman and a lawyer. The value of the diamonds recovered was .

still being estimated. It was unclear how many of the other stolen diamonds are still missing. The Feb. 18 heist was stunning and brazen. The stones from the global diamond centre of Antwerp had been loaded on a plane bound for Zurich when robbers, dressed in dark police clothing and hoods, drove through a hole they had cut in the airport fence in two black cars with blue police lights flashing. They drove onto the tarmac, approached the plane, brandished machine-guns, offloaded the diamonds, then left in an operation that

barely took five minutes. Later that night, investigators found the charred remains of a van most likely used in the heist. Despite this week’s developments, De Wolf of the Antwerp World Diamond Center said that a full resolution could still be some time off. “When they were stolen, the diamonds were all in different parcels. Maybe now they have all been mixed up,’’ De Wolf said. “You need quite a bit of expertise to check them all — size, colour, purity. It doesn’t happen in one-twothree.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to keep a closer eye on your finances. An opportunity could appear that allows unusual growth. Avoid quick actions and decisions right now. You need to give this decision time. Reach out to someone for his or her feedback. Tonight: Indulge a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Lunar eclipses generally bring surprises -- if not now, then in the following months. Today’s eclipse brings you the chance to have a new beginning. You’ll zero in on issues, but you might not want to act for several days in order to let the intensity level out. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might wonder what is going on. Your natural response is to observe, take in information and see what opens up. Give yourself time to sort through the details of a project. Venus moving into your sign allows you to use the principle of attraction. Tonight: Happily head home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your circle of friends could go from being active to being very quiet, which will leave you wondering what is next. Re-evaluate certain life goals. You might be aiming for a desire that is no longer valid, and you’ll want to revise your wish list. Tonight: Go for what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tension builds. The idea of throwing in the towel could go through your mind. Avoid making any definite decisions right now. A friend will support you in what you want, even if it’s not necessarily what is best; that knowledge might not be available. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you really care about. Understanding evolves to a new level, which allows greater give-and-take. Recognize that if you back off and look at the big picture, you will see another option. More information also will come forward. Tonight: Opt for a distraction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

Discuss a change with a key partner or an adviser. Your finances go up and down as they rarely have before. You see life in a new light as a result. Look at the long term, and make it a point to have a long-overdue discussion with a loved one. Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Let someone have his or her way. You might not be sure of the validity of this person’s ideas, but in time you will know. This person has a lot of character and a strong personality. You’ll want to honor his or her requests. Tonight: Initiate nothing. See what comes forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are more limited now than you might realize. Understand that it might be best to put off taking any action, unless is to make a personal resolution such as starting a diet or cleaning out your desk more often. Tonight: Work out or sit in a hot tub. Let your stress dwindle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your creativity if you see problems arise. You might

not want to take action just yet; however, there is no reason you can’t brainstorm in the meantime. A new friend could seem resistant to you at first, but that will change in time. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay anchored. You might see a chance for a new beginning where your domestic life is concerned. If you don’t see it yet, know that you will in the near future. A change involving a friend or a family member appears to be in the offing. Embrace it. Tonight: Do your thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to several people whom you have put off calling. Expect a strong reaction. You’ll feel much more passionate about a problematic issue than you have in a while. Test out your ideas on a friend who is willing to play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Join a pal for dinner.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband is the youngest of seven siblings. While they are all successful, some are more financially comfortable than others. Five years ago, the oldest sibling wanted to give their mother an 80th birthday party. She planned a huge party for hundreds of her mother’s friends and neighbors. She rented a party place, hired a band and catered an elaborate buffet and open bar. She then emailed all of the siblings and informed them that they each owed her $1,000. Annie, my husband didn’t have that kind of extra money. He had recently moved, found a new job and married me, a graduate student. He also pays child support for a daughter and the mortgage on another daughter’s home, as well as our rent. He explained this to his sister and said he could pay $150. We attended the party and enjoyed ourselves. There was no animosity from the sister about the money at that time. But now she has started making rude comments to my husband and the other siblings via Facebook and email that she is still waiting for my husband to “step up to the plate” and pay the rest of his share. Is it right for one member of a family to plan an event without consulting the others and then expect them to pony up the money requested? This has caused a serious rift between my husband and some of his siblings. -- Wife of Mr. 15 Percent Dear Wife: Obviously, your husband’s sister should have discussed the finances with her siblings if she expected them to split the bill. And if she is having a problem with your husband, she shouldn’t be slamming him on Facebook or in group emails. However, she did go through a lot of trouble to plan the party, and for five years, she’s been out of pocket the amount she thought your husband would pay. He doesn’t “owe” her the rest. But in order to maintain good family relations, your husband might speak privately with his sister and ask whether he could contribute whatever additional monies he can afford on an installment plan. Dear Annie: Please tell the men in your reading audience that women interpret their wedding vows differently than we do. I finally proposed to my girlfriend of many years. It made such a huge difference in our relationship, which had been floundering a bit. I never realized how hurt she was by my lack of commitment. She thought I didn’t love her enough and told me it made her feel as if she wasn’t a part of my life or a member of my family. She said she felt like a housekeeper with privileges. Now our ability to communicate and enjoy things together is so pleasurable again. It scares me to think we had almost given up on each other and might have ended up living out our lives apart and unhappy. We men don’t think about the sense of security it gives a woman to know, with legal vows, that a man wants to spend the rest of his life with her. -- Happy and Alive Again Dear Happy: In all fairness, not all women feel this way. But we are glad you figured out what mattered to your girlfriend and told her so. The inability to commit is a problem we hear a great deal about, so we appreciate your spelling it out for the relationship challenged. Dear Annie: Please tell “Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet” that fraternal organizations offer a place for everyone who is looking for friendship and a way to become involved and active. If one has a military background, I suggest checking out the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars or one of their affiliate organizations. In addition, there are the Elks lodges, Eagles clubs and Masonic organizations, to mention a few. I belong to the Shriners, and they have a great deal of social interaction. -- Kansas Brother Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

It is with great sorrow that the family of Gaetana Barone announce her passing on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 90 years of age. Gaetana was born on March 21, 1923 in Forino, Italy. Mom lived for her family. Her greatest wish was to live her life in the house her husband built for her. Mom’s wish came true. Her house was always open and no one ever left hungry. Her faith kept her strong through good times and difficult times, and this faith was inspirational to all who knew her. Although she has left us, she will join her one true love Gaetano. Gaetana is survived by her daughters Francesca Barone (Vancouver), Anna (Ken) Gagnon (Delta) and Mena (Brian) Pocha (Cranbrook); son Nunzio (Ayesha) Barone (Kamloops); grandchildren Krista Whitehurst, Amanda (Steve) Sellars, Andrew (Arel) Young, Jeff (Pamela) Gagnon, Angela Gagnon, Brennan (Beth) Pocha, Devan (Josh) Prasad, Katryna Barone, Zachary Barone, Nytasha Barone; great grandchildren Paige Young, Adam Whitehurst, Troy Gagnon, Kaci Whitehurst, Parker Sellars, and Cooper Sellars. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Gaetano Barone (1992), children Joseph Lee Barone (1953), Mary Barone (1957), Maria Brigida Young (2007), sister Domenica Avagnano, brother Gaetano Tironese, and niece Nancy Clarotto. Prayers for Gaetana will be held on Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 7:00 pm at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cranbrook. Her funeral Mass will be held on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 2:00 pm. She will be interred in the Catholic Cemetery in Cranbrook following the mass. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Gaetana may do so to the: Canadian Red Cross, #340, 1311 - 2nd Street North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3L1 or the BC Ambulance Service, 1312 - 2nd Street North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4T6 or the: Stars Foundation, 1441 - Aviation Park NE, Box 570, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 9Z9.

Over the past 12 years, MLA Bill Bennett has led the positive development of our regional hospital. Without the funding Bill secures for us year after year, the people of Kootenay East would simply not have access to the high level of care we have today. This ad is our thank you to Bill and our respectful request that voters recognize Bill Bennett for all he has done for healthcare in this region. Bill Bennett secured funding for the following:       

New Emergency Ward & Entrance New Diagnostic Centre New CT Scanner Travelling MRI New Ambulatory Care Centre New Intensive Care and Renal Unit Full complement of medical specialists – Emergency Room Physicians, Internal Medicine, ENT, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Paediatrics, Family Practice, Radiologists, Anaesthetists, Psychiatrists, Pathologists, Opthalmologists, Urologists

Bill Bennett has worked tirelessly to develop a modern, full-service regional hospital for the East Kootenay. Maintaining these services is a challenge. We are going to need Bill's proven track record and support in the future.

Brazilian woman survives after harpoon strikes spine Stan Lehman Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A 28-year-old woman miraculously survived after her husband accidentally shot her in the mouth with a harpoon, Brazilian officials said Wednesday. The Rio de Janeiro State Health Department said in a statement that the woman’s husband was cleaning his

spear gun when it went off, firing a harpoon that hit her cervical spine. Elisangela Borborema Rosa was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery after Monday’s incident in the coastal city of Arraial do Cabo. The statement quotes neurosurgeon Allan da Costa as saying that the harpoon came within 1 centimetre (less

We don’t think the husband tried to kill her,’’ said the officer, who cited department policy in declining to let her name be used. “But once she fully recovers we will be able to question her and get a clearer picture of what happened.’’

VERNON, B.C. — The sword is not mightier than the skateboard in Vernon, B.C. Mounties in that North Okanagan city say they are still sorting out a bizarre fight that erupted Tuesday night in the downtown core. They say several men in their early 20s squared off, but the situation became much more pointed when one of the men ran into a nearby specialty shop

and emerged with two swords. That’s when a second suspect smashed the would-be musketeer in the head with a skateboard. Fortunately, the sabre-rattler was not seriously hurt and everyone involved was rounded up. Not surprisingly, they spent the night sobering up and, as clearer heads emerge, police hope to learn what sparked the unorthodox duel.
