Teck gets okay to continue drug, alcohol testing SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
The United Steelworkers Local 9346 has been denied a temporary order to stop Teck from performing ran-
Arbitrator denies Steelworkers’ request to halt random testing of Elk Valley employees
dom drug and alcohol tests on workers at the Elk Valley mines. In a May 9 decision, arbitrator Colin Taylor
found that Teck could continue to carry out drug and alcohol tests on its employees while a grievance goes through
arbitration. “I have concluded that drug and alcohol testing are more amenable to being compensat-
ed in damages, whereas the risk of industrial accident carries greater potential for irreparable harm,” Taylor said in the
decision. Teck introduced random drug and alcohol testing last December, saying at the time: “We take our obligation to provide the safest possible workplace for our employees very seriously and, as such, we strongly believe that taking measures to eliminate drug and alcohol abuse that can affect safety is an important way we can achieve
our vision of everyone going home safe and healthy every day,” said Nic Milligan, Manager of Community and Aboriginal Affairs at Teck’s coal operations. For several years, Teck has conducted drug and alcohol tests on new employees entering the workplace, and post-incident tests where it believes drugs or alcohol may be a factor.

A crowd of at least 25 business owners and residents concerned about the city’s draft sign bylaw came to a special meeting Wednesday afternoon at City Hall to find out more about changes and the direction of the bylaw. The sign bylaw most likely won’t come back to council until the June 24 meeting as staff would not have the updated draft ready before then. One reason for that was that council instructed staff to look into various new options, such as the possibility of

licencing movable signs. CAO Wayne Staudt explained that staff could also bring it back as a draft for more consultation if council wishes as the purpose of the meeting was to was seek direction from council. Staff spent some time talking about the need for engineering standards on new signs being built. The city’s building inspector is not comfortable doing the inspections and so an engineer would have to be brought in to inspect the larger signs as they are designed and built.

Remember: Feeding deer is against the law Townsman Staff
Residents of and visitors to Cranbrook are reminded that intentionally feeding deer is against the law. A release from the City this week said the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw, which came into effect in October, 2010, states no one is to provide deer with food by intentionally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edible material for the sole purpose of feeding deer. For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other compostable food scraps on a residential lot or property where these items are not consistently being produced for human consumption
would be seen as an infraction to the bylaw. Home fruit and vegetable gardens intended for human consumption or ornamental plants and flowers, however, are fine. Anyone found violating the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw will be committing an offense and can be fined on an escalating fine schedule; $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second, $500 for the third. Each day a violation occurs constitutes a new and separate offense. To view a copy of the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw 3709, 2010, visit www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Bylaws’, under the Quick Links list on the homepage.

Sign bylaw debated again Continued from page 1 This brought up some concerns about potential costs, but staff said the signs would be looked at on a case-bycase basis. Off-premise signs were also a hot topic as there is the potential for clutter to happen on the main thoroughfares, but Coun. Diana Scott said businesses need to be able to advertise their locations. Coun. Gerry Warner agreed, saying that if businesses want to share space with other businesses it should be their own decision. Billboards also provided for a lot of discussion. Mayor Wayne Stetski said banning billboards outright would help Cranbrook improve aesthetics. Sparwood and Fernie don’t allow billboards and billboards leading into Fernie not allowed. Coun. Sharon Cross said she wanted to see billboards abolished as they interfere with the landscape. Coun. Bob Whetham was also against, as many billboards advertise things outside of the community anyway. Mayor Stetski estimated there are about a half dozen billboards
around Cranbrook. “Many of them are in a total state of disrepair,” Stetski said. Scott said there is a place and need for billboards and they haven’t obstructed the view in her experience. She said they haven’t been maintained because they would likely have to be taken down to fix and maybe not allowed back up. Coun. Cross said many comments from the community were against large signs. “Part of the purpose of the sign bylaw is to improve the attractiveness of the community,” Cross said. Mayor Stetski said it’s not a numbers game so much as it is about building a better Cranbrook. Coun. Warner argued that if billboards are attractive and on a vacant lot he didn’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed. Coun. Angus Davis said some comments insulted the business community and listening to those people could put the city in “for a real rough ride.” Warner suggested a billboard committee that could decide and
rule on billboard placement and allowances. Scott said that industrial area is another place that could have billboards. Whetham noted that billboards are not cur-
rently allowed under the current city bylaw. Council voted against banning billboards outright and so staff will prepare some guidelines on those as well.

Annual Fun Run about family fun

Kennedy also said that organizers think the kids’ involvement was so successful that they will try and make it an even bigger aspect for the races to come. “We even had P.T. the Clown up there and so it was just really fun for the kids.” With regards to the fundraiser for the ALS Society of B.C., Kennedy said that this disease has taken a toll on her and other organizers of the Fun Run. “It is something that the four of us who organized it have all been affected by in one way or another.”
The 3rd Annual Spring Honda Fun Run, Saturday, May 11, featured runners of all ages for the first time this year. The event started at the College of the Rockies with 5K and 10K runs. This year the event included a run for the little ones with a “twoonie” race before the big races started. “We actually did it up to about 10 years old,” said Christie Kennedy, of Core Fitness, one of the organizers of the event. “But we had a little race with the three- and four-yearolds and then the fives and sixes. Very cute. “We just had a lot of kids participate, even in

cess,” Kennedy said. “We had some great elite athletes all the way down to little kids. It was a perfect sunny day and just a really great day.” Winners of the 5K run included: first place Jeff Beler with a time of 20:17, Steve Donaldson with 20:52 and Dayne Aasland 21:50. For the

Now Teck has been given permission to continue randomstests on its employees, while a dispute filed by the United Steelworkers in the B.C. Supreme Court goes through adjudication. Alex Hunter, president of the United Steelworkers Local 9346, said Teck is flying in the face of the law. “As far as I know, random drug testing has not been made legal in Canada anywhere at this point. So we’re not sure why this has taken place here,” Hunter told
the Townsman. “They haven’t changed the law through the legal system. They’ve just declared themselves above the law and began implementation of random drug testing, and for whatever reason we haven’t been granted an injunction.” Hunter made it clear that United Steelworkers doesn’t endorse illicit drugs. “The union does not support the use of illegal drugs or in any way condone showing up to work under the influ-

ence of any sort of mind altering substance or alcohol, or putting people’s lives in danger at all. That is not what this argument is about,” he said. “This argument is about whether or not the company can gain access to our private lives, and especially our medical information through our prescription drug information, for the sales pitch of keeping us safe.” Hunter said that Teck’s Elk Valley operations have a good record for safety. “2012 at Elkview Operations was the safest year yet,” he said. “Not to mention, B Crew at Elkview Operations just went 10 years LTI free – which is 10 years without a lost time (incident). That’s in the record books somewhere – could be a world record.” Teck could not be reached for comment before The Townsman’s deadline.

farmers’ market
Homegrown, homemade, handcrafted: spring market launches the season The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market will be putting on its second annual spring market on Saturday, May 25. Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market is getting ready for its first big event of the season, the Spring Market. This is the second year that the Spring Market will be held and it is happening Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cranbrook Curling Centre. The market is a sort of precursor to the upcoming weekly farmer’s market held downtown near Rotary Park. Erna Jensen-Shill, who manages the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market, said it is a great time to get reacquainted with the produce and goodies missing since the end of the last market season. Last year at the Spring Market the early
season produce was snapped up quickly. “We’ve got lots of the favourites,” Jensen-Shill said. “And for this market, some visiting folks from the West Kootenay will be coming over with ornamental garden products and that type of thing.” As well, many popular items are back, such as homemade borscht, cupcakes and produce and eggs from Fort Steele Farms. The Spring Market is held at the curling rink as it offers both an indoor and outdoor option, which is helpful with the sometimes difficult-to-predict weather of this time of year. Jensen-Shill said people were asking for the early season market last year, so they tried it out and it was a success. It also offers an op-
portunity for anyone interested in becoming a vendor in the market to find out more, as there will be an information booth set up to answer questions from 1-2 p.m. “We will be talking to any interested folks,” she said. “You know, maybe they’re growing a little market garden and they’re not sure how to go about becoming a vendor or coming down and selling their produce.” She said the big thing is that everything is locally made, grown or baked, as they follow B.C. Association of Farmer’s Markets standards. The Cranbrook market’s website has more information on the guidelines. Jensen-Shill added that the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market is
shaping up for a great season and will begin June 22. It is entering its fifth year. “It’s gets better with age,” she said. “We have more vendors and more community support.” For more information on either the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market or the Spring Market go to www.cranbrookfarmersmarket.com, or visit the Facebook page by searching Cranbrook Farmer’s Market.
B.C. ELECTION
Clark in no rush to seek seat Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark said she will wait until election results are finalized and she has met with her 49 MLAs before deciding where to seek a seat to replace the one she lost Tuesday. NDP challenger David Eby defeated Clark by more than 700 votes in Vancouver-Point Grey, knocking on doors while Clark traveled the province on the leader’s tour. At a news conference Wednesday, Clark shrugged off the loss, saying the seat was closely contested when Gordon Campbell held it and also had little time to campaign there. Asked repeatedly about polls that predicted her doom, Clark noted that she discussed that briefly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he called to congratulate her on winning the party’s fourth term. And she offered some advice on

Clark’s win confounds the ‘experts’
T
he pollsters, pundits and the selfstyled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized
pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil BC VIEWS tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour. Tom At least now, more peoFletcher ple will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C. Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

Asia Delegation
Cranbrook ratepayers have been enduring and will continue to endure for the foreseeable year over year compounding increases to property taxes, frontage taxes and the cost of city services. Council on numerous occasions has indicated its concern for the shortage of funds for projects and services to even slashing monies for the July 1st celebration. If Cranbrook is going to participate in the Asian delegation it should do so at the minimum level — the same as our sister cities — and not send extra delegates. Council, rethink your decision. Jim Kennedy Cranbrook
Country Roads I am wondering why whoever is in charge of roads would waste probably what will add to up to thousands of taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars recently to brush off the edges of Pighin Road, and then have another truck go behind to water it which dried up in last week’s heat
in about five minutes. Really! This is a rural country road that is a dead end and has very little traffic. In the city I get it, but out here? At least if they feel it has to be done, be wise enough to wait until after the cattle go out on the range after the May long weekend and clean up after that, as hundreds of cattle will be walking down the road pooping all over the nicely just swept and washed Pighin Road. There are so many seniors in need and medical care for so many and we waste huge dollars sweeping and washing rural roads. Please share if you fell the same and please call Mainroads 250-417-4624 to voice your concerns on how our tax dollars are being used. Brenda Birrell Kimberley
Heritage Remembering where we come from is truly a rewarding and significant part of our lives — not only on a personal level but also in the life of our community. In Cranbrook our physical roots can
be seen in several areas: Slaterville, Wattsville, and the general area of 1st to 18th Avenue. These are the original subdivisions of the city and in recent years these older sections of our community have been undergoing a steady revitalization. Several years ago the Baker Hill Heritage Association was formed. This group was responsible for convincing the city that in the Baker Hill area any development or redevelopment must reflect the historical values of the area. This has worked so well that in the other historical areas of the city such as Slaterville, community groups have been established. In fact, in the entire older parts of the city efforts to maintain or upgrade properties are very evident. I commend these fine citizens of our community for their very obvious pride in their homes and city.

n a vision of a militaristic and disciplinarian society of the future proposed by sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers), humans on a now united Earth are divided into two basic classes. (Earth is only united, of course, because the government of Earth works to create outside enemies that we can all unite against — that old ploy.) The two classes are citizens and civilians. The former have served terms of “federal service,” and thus have the right to vote, have a say in public policy, and effect change. Civilians, on the other hand, though not discriminated against and enjoying all the benefits of society, do not have the vote, and have no say in the functioning of government or the structuring of their society. Sounds familiar to me, on the morning after 49.255 per cent of voters in Kootenay East cast ballots in Tuesday’s B.C. election (14,887 out of 30,224 eligible voters) — down from 55 per cent in 2009. In Columbia River-Revelstoke, the turnout was 51 per cent. Across B.C., 52 per cent of eligible voters turned out to protect democracy, after an important, interesting and potentially historic election campaign. We should be optimistic, I suppose, that the number is trending upwards — a mere 51 per cent (50.99, actually) voted in the 2009 B.C. election. If that trend continues, in 200 years we can expect full exercise of the franchise among the citizenry. Or maybe that spike of one per cent is an exception that is only temporarily bucking the downward trend, and in 200 years, the fascist utopia, as Heinlein suggested, will have arrived. Perhaps a better analogy would be the gradual demise of the Roman republic and its replacement with a monarchy.
You can keep the civilians comfortable and happy — the good ol’ bread and circuses — and continue to govern as best suits your interests and those of your supporters. There has been so much hand-wringing over the years on this issue that I’m actually embarrassed to be doing it again. All sorts of reasons have been put forward for the decline in voter engagement. Perhaps what’s needed is a freshfaced rock star type leader to excite political imagination among the young. After all, the polls show that Justin Trudeau is — did I actually menBarry wait, tion polls? As if they had Coulter any credibility at all? In some countries, voters are prevented from voting by forceful means. Perhaps it’s time to protect our hard-won democratic rights by forcing people to vote. Create compulsory voting with the stroke of the legislative pen. After all, 23 countries on our peaceful, united planet Earth already practice it. Ten actually enforce it. If you don’t vote, you could receive a fine. The government that dares adopt this measure as law could prepare the way with an ad campaign, with the tag line “Compulsory Voting: That’s The Ticket!” (Paid for with tax dollars, of course.) Now, the libertarians would say the less law the better, and if you don’t want to vote, that too is your right, just don’t complain, etc., etc. So maybe the bread and circuses approach would work better. Instead of forcing the populace to the polls, tempt them to the polls. I say thanks to Geoff B. on the social media, who proffered the idea of a “vote-to-play election lottery with a $5 million jackpot and a $10,000-prize for each riding.” That would ensure complete voter turnout and cost less than current campaigns, as Geoff B. points out. Geoff adds, “But of
Thursday, MAY 16, 2013 Page 7
course, no one will ever do that.” And of course they won’t, just as we won’t dare integrate compulsory voting, or any kind of progressive and fair proportional representation. Of course not. So long, franchise. Oh well, as long as they keep putting really good programs on TV, I won’t even notice that constant prorogation of Parliament. Speaking of polls, we can ask if they are just no longer working the way they used to, and if so why not. I suspect it’s because the methodology of polling has stayed the same over past decades. Pollsters get on the phone and start calling around, at the same time of day as all those scam artists, asking you to take surveys and then sign up for a free prize. (I myself am not sure if a legitimate pollster called me for my opinion, but I am sure that throughout April I received one call per evening from someone asking me to participate in a survey about our household work habits, and then sign up for a chance to win a cruise, or something. It was infuriating.) In the meantime, cellphones, social media and the like are rendering a proper sample group harder and harder to access using traditional polling means. Nor would it be surprising if there were some algebra or equation that proved a drastic decrease in voter engagement correlates with an equivalent decrease in polling accuracy (I’ll get back to you on that). Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to congratulate and thank all the candidates who put their names forward in Kootenay East and Columbia River-Revelstoke. If we choose not to vote, well, yes, that is our right, and we will get the governments we deserve. But without individuals who step forward to run for public office, our democracy would die a quick death indeed. So thanks again for your commitments and your efforts.

Stoll likely to miss Game 2 after hard hit from Torres ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Kings centre Jarret Stoll is likely to miss Game 2 of Los Angeles’ second-round playoff series against the Sharks after a hard hit from San Jose’s Raffi Torres in the opener. Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter implied Wednesday that Stoll could be out for a signif-
icant length of time after getting hit by Torres, who has a history of dangerous play. Torres hit Stoll late in the second period of the defending Stanley Cup champions’ 2-0 victory over San Jose on Tuesday. Stoll didn’t return. Torres is expected to have an in-person disciplinary hearing with NHL officials over the

Winterhawks gear up for a run at the Memorial Cup C ANADIAN PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. After winning their first Western Hockey League title in 15 years, the Portland Winterhawks took time to party with the city’s loyal hockey fans, capped off by a downtown rally attended by thousands. An hour after leaving Tuesday’s celebra-
tion, the Winterhawks were back on the ice for practice, focused on the next task at hand: the Memorial Cup. Reviled by many around the league for their rapid ascent from the league basement to three straight WHL finals, the Winterhawks won the Ed Chynoweth Cup just over five months after being
handed the stiffest sanctions in major junior hockey history. Portland will now compete with the host Saskatoon Blades, Ontario Hockey League champion London Knights and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Halifax Mooseheads for the top prize in major junior hockey.

The Mount Baker Wild junior girls basketball team wrapped up their season at provincials.
Wild wrap up season at provincials Submit ted
The Mount Baker junior girls basketball team recently attended the B.C. provincial championship tournament in Langley, where they finished in 10th place. Before entering the tournament the team had captured three gold medals and two silvers in tournament competitions throughout the Okanagan region. With a record of 24 wins and 4 loses the team was given a power ranking of seventh in the pool of sixteen. In the team’s first match they faced McMath Secondary School from the Lower Mainland zone. This proved
to be a tough match up, on the large open court and the girls fell to a tough zone defense by 6 points. In their second match the team regained their composure and defeated Nechako Secondary from the North West seed. The team defeated Nechako by 15, to move on to face their next opponent where they went on to beat South Kamloops by 12 points. Their final match featured a squad from Little Flower Academy, which consisted of a team of three Team BC Players. In a hard fought game with various lead changes, the Mount Baker girls fell by one point to claim
10th place overall. “This was a great accomplishment for our school, and the players were great ambassadors of our community. The support by local business sometimes goes unnoticed but is crucial to allow us to continue to compete,” said coach Joe Tank. Though the team had a successful season on the court, it wouldn’t have been possible without help from the Cranbrook business community. Businesses were pleased to help out one of the most successful basketball teams the school has seen in ten or more years and were glad to contribute over half of the team’s $5,000
in expenses. It is often not recognized that such a trip would not be possible without this financial aid. The Wild Jr. Girl’s Basketball team would like to thank the following businesses for making their trip to the BC Provincials possible. Alpine Toyota, Caliper Sales, Renew You, Fiorentino Bros. Construction, Bridge Interiors, Falkins Agencies, School District No. 5, From the Ground Up, Action Rentals, Farbrook Auto, Cranbrook Dodge, Sunshine Houseboats, M&K Plumbing, Rocky Mountain Diesel, Cranbrook Flooring, Wolfpack Signs & Printing.

Blackhawks edge Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in series opener Jay Cohen Associated Press
CHICAGO - Maybe it was the extra rest, or another raucous crowd at the United Center. Maybe it was just the resumption of one of the NHL’s biggest rivalries. Whatever it was, the Chicago Blackhawks finally found that extra gear they talked about for days. Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger scored in the third period, Corey Crawford made 20 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in the opener of their second-round playoff series Wednesday night. “Much better from our prior series,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I thought what we’re talking about in our team game was in place. Had some pace, had some speed, zone time, and I thought everybody contributed.” In the wake of Chicago’s five-game victory over Minnesota in the first round, Quenneville talked about a higher
level of intensity, and each of his biggest stars echoed his comments. The response was a dominant final two periods in the Blackhawks’ first game in the Western Conference semifinals since they won the Stanley Cup in 2010.
“I thought it was the best game of the playoffs, no question.” Patrick Sharp Marian Hossa had the opening goal in the first, and Patrick Sharp finished with an empty-netter and two assists to give him nine points in the post-season. “I thought it was our best game of the playoffs, no question,” Sharp said. Jimmy Howard had 38 stops in a terrific performance, but Detroit still lost to rival Chicago for the eighth straight time dating to last season.
“I think in the first it was pretty even, but then I think in the second and third they looked like they had a little more energy than we did,” Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. “It’s going to be nice to have a day off tomorrow and practice and then looking forward to Game 2.” The series resumes on Saturday afternoon at the United Center. The 75th all-time playoff game between the Blackhawks and Red Wings was tied at 1 after two periods, and Howard made a great stop on a breakaway by Dave Bolland 4 1/2 minutes into the third. Chicago kept working and went in front to stay on a heady play by Oduya. He drifted in from the point and sent Sharp’s pass past Howard on the glove side with 12 minutes left. “Getting the win is the only thing that actually matters,” Oduya said. “Like I said, anyone could have scored that goal at that point. We
had a lot of chances and I’m lucky I got it in there.” Kruger then jumped on a loose puck and sent a backhander into the upper right corner to make it 3-1. That was more than enough for Crawford, who caught a break when Damien Brunner’s rebound attempt went off the crossbar and straight down before Brent Seabrook swept it away with about three minutes left. The opener of the 16th playoff series between the Original Six teams was the first game for Chicago since it elim-
inated Minnesota last Thursday. Detroit closed out Anaheim with a 3-2 win in Game 7 on Sunday night, taking the final two games of the series against the second-seeded Ducks. Despite the long break, there was no sign of rust for the Blackhawks. The Red Wings skated right with Chicago at the start, but they couldn’t keep up at the end of the game and coach Mike Babcock said they were looking forward to a day off. “We’re not trying to take anything away from them,” he said. “They
were better than us. The score tonight was more than fair as far as I’m concerned. They were better.” The Blackhawks struck first in the first playoff game between the teams since Detroit won the 2009 Western Conference final. With Gustav Nyquist in the box for hooking, Sharp forced a turnover along the boards and Jonathan Toews sent the puck to Hossa, who one-timed it past Howard at 9:03. Detroit needed less than two minutes to respond, tying it when Brunner poked in a re-
bound for his third career playoff goal. The rookie centre also contributed three assists in the first round against the Ducks. The Blackhawks killed off two power plays created by penalties on Andrew Shaw. They killed off another one when Nick Leddy was sent off for delay of game in the second period, making them a perfect 20 for 20 on the penalty kill in the post-season and sinking Detroit to 1 for 18 on power plays against Chicago, including the regular season.
Heat top Bulls for berth in East finals Tim Reynolds Associated Press
MIAMI - Knowing his team needed him at his best, Dwyane Wade retreated to the Miami Heat locker room after the third quarter for some quick treatment on his aching right knee. When he came back, he was good as new.
And now he can rest until the Eastern Conference finals. LeBron James scored 23 points, Wade added 18 and had a brilliant 45-second sequence that proved crucial, and the Heat clawed back from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 94-91 on
Wednesday night and close out their second-round series in five games. “We gave it everything we had,” James said. “I have no energy left.” The Heat outscored Chicago 25-14 in the fourth quarter to escape and advance. “I knew the fourth
quarter was going to be tough so I wanted to retape my knee,” said Wade, who has been battling bone bruises on his knee for several weeks. “I knew I was going to come back into a grind. Our trainers did a great job of getting it taped it enough so I could come out and play.”

ayshore water views, Victorian rowhouses, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and glorious flower laden parks are a few of the reasons why San Francisco is one postcard view after another. Start your SFO experience at the famous Golden Gate Bridge. A unique way to really get a feel for the enormity of the bridge is on a bicycle or by walking. Both are easily done using the bridge’s bike lane or footpath. For some visitors Alcatraz holds an historic interest. This prison was home to such famous criminals as Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly and Mickey Cohen.

can immerse yourself in the city’s multicultural mix. Stroll the streets of North America’s oldest Chinatown and walk through lovely North Beach, referred to as “Little Italy.” San Francisco is a city that lends itself well to walking and has user-friendly public transit. Jump aboard the city’s cable cars: featured in nearly every movie set in San Francisco. The transit infrastructure is moving history that has been running up and down the steep hills of the city since 1873. San Francisco is made up of neighbourhoods. Nob Hill enjoys a well-deserved reputation for its privileged and swanky style. Union Square is a cosmopolitan gathering place, perfect for sitting in the sun, enjoying a coffee and people-watching. You will almost certainly trip over a public concert, or an outdoor art exhibit.

Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy
Welcoming Communities What is it? Welcoming Communities is an initiative of the provincial and federal governments with a two-fold purpose. One is to help new immigrants (defined as being in Canada for less than 10 years) integrate more easily into Canadian society and the other is to help communities be more welcoming to immigrants. The Welcoming Communities project is a combination of settlement work (direct services to immigrants) and projects seeking to promote the two objectives noted.
What is happening in Cranbrook? The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) was the successful applicant for this area (Cranbrook and Kimberley) and is now working with project partners to deliver the two objectives. CBAL has two responsibilities one is to over-see the projects and to provide settlement services. Currently there are 6 project partners in Cranbrook and a similar number in Kimberley. The projects range from “Living Librar-
ies” with the Cranbrook Public Library to a family mentoring program with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. There is one gap in the project palette and that is work targeted to the business community. Representatives of CBAL and the Chamber recently met to see how the Chamber could be involved. There are two programs available for delivery: one provides information to employers about the benefits of hiring an immigrant (not bringing
temporary foreign workers) and the skills needed in dealing with immigrants wishing to use their service. The other program is for employees – those who meet or deal with customers and who can benefit from learning how to be more welcoming to immigrants, unfamiliar with Canadian culture, and assisting them. The Chamber looks forward to working closing with CBAL on this initiative.

We need to value our drinking water When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care? “We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is finite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, population growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the expenses may not be apparent, there are significant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drinking water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”
put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as watering our lawns less, using rain barrels, installing water efficient fixtures or appliances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.” For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiving waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.
She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replacements and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”
Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”
During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your everyday habits.
The five easy pledges can be taken online. People can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facilities in their area, or download fun and educational activities for children and families, at

*Environment Canada, 2011. ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.
This is now the 52nd year of celebrating the hard work and dedication of the many public works professionals throughout North America. We are very excited about participating in the National Public Works Week 2013 and we wish to encourage the entire community to join us in this important celebration. Are you water wise? Take the Community Water Challenge and enter to win an exciting water-themed getaway in Vancouver courtesy of The Fairmont Waterfront and Helijet, plus receive 10% off water efficient fixtures at Splashes Bath & Kitchen Centres across BC! It’s simple – just pledge to take one or all of the water wise actions below. Make your pledge at:
drinkingwaterweek.org/challenge Be Water Wise: □ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day. □ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home. □ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can). □ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity. □ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain. Did You Know? ■ The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* ■ 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an Internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.* ■ Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.

Lone survivor of 1987 US airplane crash that killed 156 breaks silence Mike Householder Associated Press
DETROIT — Cecelia Crocker’s body provides her with a constant reminder of the most traumatic event of her life — one that she doesn’t otherwise remember. At only four years old, Crocker was the lone survivor of a 1987 plane crash that killed 154 people aboard and two on the ground near Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Her parents and brother were among those killed. In the new documentary, “Sole Survivor,’’ Crocker breaks her silence, discussing how the crash of the Phoenix, Arizona-bound jetliner has affected her. “I think about the accident every day. It’s kind of hard not to think about it when I look in the mirror,’’ she said. “I have visual scars. My arms and my legs. And I have a scar on my forehead.’’ Crocker, 30, also sports an airplane tattoo on her left wrist. “I got this tattoo as a reminder of where I’ve come from. I see it as — so many scars were put on my body against my will — and I decided to put this on my body for myself,’’ she says in the film. “Sole Survivor’’ is expected to have its theatrical premiere later this year. The filmmakers permitted The Associated Press to view the film. The movie focuses on Crocker — known as

Side bending stretch: 1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. 2. Hold the golf club above your head with your arms straight.
Cecelia Crocker shows a tattoo inspired by her 1987 crash survival as a child. Cecelia Cichan at the time of the crash — as well as three other “sole survivors’’ of plane crashes: George Lamson Jr., a then 17-yearold who was aboard a Galaxy Airlines flight that crashed in Reno, Nevada, in 1985; Bahia Bakari, a 12-year-old girl who lived through a Yemenia Airways flight that crashed near the Comoros Islands in 2009; and Jim Polehinke, the co-pilot of a 2006 Comair flight that crashed in Kentucky. It’s been more than a quarter-century since Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed in the Detroit suburb of Romulus. The plane was just clearing the runway at 8:46 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1987, when it tilted slightly. The left
wing clipped a light pole, and the damaged airliner sheared the top off a rental car building. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded the plane’s crew failed to set the wing flaps properly for takeoff. The agency also said a cockpit warning system did not alert the crew to the problem. Crocker was raised by her aunt and uncle who shielded her from the media and others who sought to delve into her unique past. Crocker said the enormity of what had happened didn’t really hit her for a while. “When I realized I was the only person to survive that plane crash, I was maybe in middle
school, high school, maybe, being an adolescent and confused,’’ said Crocker, who was interviewed by the film’s director, Ky Dickens, over 1.5 hours in September 2011. “So it was just extra stress for me. I remember feeling angry and survivor’s guilt. ‘Why didn’t my brother survive? Why didn’t anybody? Why me?’’’ As for returning to the air, Crocker “feels fine flying and does so quite often,’’ Dickens said. “Flying doesn’t scare me. I have this mentality where if something bad happened to me once on a plane, it’s not going to happen again,’’ Crocker says in the film. “The odds are just astronomical.’’
US appeals court denies asylum to German home-schoolers ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE — A U.S. appeals court has denied asylum to a Christian family who fled Germany so they could home-school their children, ruling that immigration laws do not grant a safe haven to people who face restrictions that would be prohibited under the Constitution. Many U.S. home-school families and evangelical Christians have taken up the cause of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, who faced fines and the threat of losing custody of their children because they refused to comply with Germany’s compulsory
school attendance law. In 2008, the Romeikes moved from Germany to the U.S. and applied for asylum. On Tuesday, a three-member panel of U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Romeikes do not meet the criteria for asylum. “The question is ... whether the Romeikes have established the prerequisites of an asylum claim — a well-founded fear of persecution on account of a protected ground,’’ the court wrote. In this case, that protected ground is religious freedom. The court found that the Ger-
man government treats all truants the same, regardless of their reasons for not attending school. The U.S. government said in court documents the Romeikes did not belong to any particular Christian denomination and described the parents’ objections to the government-approved schools as vague. For instance, Uwe Romeike claimed that the schools taught witchcraft based on a game played by classmates of his wife when she was in school “that involved pushing chairs and glasses around, and dangling a pendulum.’’

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have an 8-month-old puppy, and I take her to a local dog park so she can run off leash and play with the other dogs, which she loves. In the three months I have been taking her, “Phoebe” has never been attacked or fought with another dog. That was until last night, when Phoebe approached another dog that was on a leash and that dog attacked her. My puppy whimpered and howled while being bitten on her neck and back. I tried to get her away, but the other dog was so vicious. The owner of the other dog just stood there making no effort to pull his dog away, nor did he apologize. I finally extracted Phoebe from the other dog’s mouth. As I was walking away, the owner said he doesn’t know why his dog doesn’t like other dogs. I was too shaken to reply. Besides, I felt sorry for the vicious dog, wondering what could have happened to make him like that. Luckily, Phoebe was not severely injured. I did my best to soothe her, but it took several minutes to calm her down. Before I left the park, I warned other owners about the dog that attacked mine. Why would someone bring a dog that hates other dogs to a dog park? There is a gentleman who arranged for the park to exist and is the “leader.” Should I tell him what happened? I don’t want to get the park shut down, which is why I didn’t call the police. What do I do? -- Phoebe’s Human Mom Dear Mom: If the park has a “leader,” then he is the person to notify. This owner seems ignorant of dog behavior and may have been trying to “socialize” his dog by bringing the animal to a pet-friendly park. But it sounds as if that dog needs training. It would be a kindness for someone to point that out to him and make a referral before an animal is seriously hurt. Dear Annie: As an alcoholic in recovery, it was interesting to me to observe the self-righteousness in my family about my addiction as they went through their heart surgeries stemming from their addictions to chocolate cake, bacon and cherry pies. They are just as addicted to food as I am to alcohol. They say it’s “different,” but how is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail? In spite of their heart surgeries and the struggle of carrying 300 pounds on a body designed for 150, they somehow see slamming down a cherry cobbler as acceptable, but my having a beer is a sin. Moderation in all aspects of our lives might not be a bad idea. -- No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky. Dear Paducah: Addictions, regardless of type, involve the inability to control one’s appetite, whether it be for food, drugs, liquor, gambling, whatever. Unlike most other addictions, however, one cannot give up food altogether. So while we agree that there is hypocrisy, and of course moderation is best, there is in fact a difference between food, which is necessary for life, and alcohol, which is not. Imagine how much harder it would be to control your addiction if you were told that you absolutely must have three shots a day, but not a fourth. Or a beer. Or a replacement from the well-stocked pantry. Not an excuse, mind you. Just an observation. Dear Annie: I agree with “Retired Teacher” about high school guidance counselors. She is right on the money. Guidance counselors are not in schools to assist students with personal problems. That isn’t even in their job description. Their primary function is to advise students about the courses they need to graduate. After that, a multitude of assessment responsibilities fill their time. While many may wish they could counsel to the emotional well-being of their students, they simply don’t have the time. -- K.

Polar bear cub orphaned Reunion gone belly up in Alaska lands at NY zoo the literary beat
This is the latest in a series of submissions from Carrie Blais’s Creative Writing class at Mount Baker Secondary in Cranbrook
By Morgan Pelletier
Watching Uncle Forest hop onto an inner tube to be catapulted backwards into a river; watching Aunt Luella trying to save Uncle Forest but actually almost drowning and popping a floaty while travelling downstream at about 50 mph was not what I thought when my parents told me we were going to a family reunion. It all started when Uncle Edwards suggested everyone follow him to a perfect spot to start floating down the river. I’m pretty sure everyone regretted it once we followed him through knee high mud and we were all drenched in sweat when we got to the spot, which seemed like 50 of us crammed into the ankle deep river and set our inner tubes down. The slippery rocks and the strong current made it quite difficult to stay standing. On the count of three we all gently sat on our tubes careful not to fall into the mighty river. All the cousins and aunts grabbed on to each other so that we could make sure not to separate, but with some butts being larger than others and getting caught on the rocks in the shallow rapids, it took us quite a while to finally get to the deep part of the river a few feet away. The flow of the river was less intense in the deep wide part of the river so our big convoy slowly made our way through it. As we gradually floated we
heard Uncle Forest who still hadn’t got on his tube yell, “Here I come!” Jumping seven feet in the air and shoving his tube under his legs he almost made a perfect landing, but instead of landing in the centre he landed on the back of his inner tube, which hurled him backwards off his tube and he landed head first into the river. My sister and I couldn’t help but laugh as we watched him slowly arise out of the water. About ten seconds after Uncle Forest had been flung awkwardly into the water, Aunt Luella flopped off her tube to rescue her little brother Forest, thinking he was badly hurt. Only in all her panic I think she forgot that she didn’t know how to swim. Being in the deep end of the river did not help her situation, so instead of helping her, my grandma Patty just sat on her tube laughing at her older, drowning sister, Luella. In the chaos and hilarity of the whole situation my grandma couldn’t stop cackling while she tried to save Aunt Luella and still hang on to the convoy of inner tubes floating down the river. Aunt Luella finally climbed onto her tube that was still part of the convoy, but in the mix of helping Aunt Luella get on her tube, my Grandma Patty let go and was now fearfully laughing as the current got stronger, whisking her away to a branchy bush and some intense rapids.
It was her turn to be laughed at. Her tube hit the branchy bush, puncturing her tube, but it didn’t pop, there was just a steady “sssssss”. I could hear contagious cackles again as she began paddling to shore so her tube wouldn’t fully deflate and then she’d get wet. But she leaned forward too far because the back of her tube began lifting out of the water. Trying to shift her positioning, she made the wrong move and her arms began flailing as the tube dumped her into the deep cool water. Now the older of my grandma’s siblings, Great Aunt Lynn, started laughing hysterically and, not watching where she was floating, she headed into the massive rapids backwards. By this time everyone had had one belly aching laugh and watching tidal waves of water drenching Aunt Lynn made our bellies hurt even more. Thankfully the river flowed right into my Aunt Luella’s backyard so we didn’t have to trek seven miles back in knee high mud. Everyone was exhausted from all the belly busting we had done. It truly had been a good day. Next time my parents tell me we are going to a family reunion at Aunt Luella’s; I will never expect it to be mundane again.

Prince Harry closes US visit Michael Melia Associated Press
Britain’s Prince Harry complimented the American people for their generosity and touted the successes of his charity for African children as he wrapped up a weeklong trip to the U.S. in an affluent New York City suburb. The prince is in Greenwich, Connecticut, on Wednesday to compete at the Greenwich Polo Club to benefit Sentebale, the charity he co-founded to help poor children and AIDS orphans in the small African nation of Lesotho.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It may have been the most anticipated package ever delivered to the Buffalo Zoo: an orphaned polar bear cub that arrived Wednesday from Alaska and will spend the summer with another cub born six months ago. Kali arrived aboard a UPS flight at Buffalo Niagara International Airport shortly before 5:30 a.m., ending a 14-hour trip that was set in motion in March when a hunter in Alaska realized an adult female bear he’d killed was nursing. “He followed the tracks back to the den, crawled down inside, found a cub, pulled it out, put it in his coveralls, rode it back into Point Lay and then got hold of U.S. Fish and Wildlife,’’ said Patrick Lampi, executive director of the Alaska Zoo, which has cared for the bear since. Called Kali after the Inupiat name for Point Lay, the male cub now weighs 65 pounds (29 1/2 kilograms) and is estimated to be just less than 5 months old. It would have been unable to care for itself in the wild, experts said. Young polar bears stay with their mothers for about 2 years. In Buffalo, it will slowly be introduced to Luna, a female polar bear born Nov. 27 that has become a visitor favourite and the face of an $18 million fundraising campaign for a planned Arctic exhibit and new zoo entrance. Experts said both cubs will benefit from interacting with each other rather than only human caretakers. A few hours after Ka-

Kali, a polar bear cub orphaned when its mother was killed by a hunter in northwest Alaska, climbs the screen of his cage on Monday, May 13, 2013, at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, Alaska. li’s arrival, the cubs were in adjacent dens, able to smell and hear each other but prevented by a solid barrier from visual and physical contact. The next step will be to replace the barrier with mesh. “Then they can have some limited physical contact, visual contact,’’ zoo president Donna Fernandes said. “If that goes well and they’re spending lots of time near each other by the mesh barrier and showing interest, then we can gradually open it up a little bit, give them room for a paw to go through. “If they’re not swiping at each other and it looks good, we’ll open the door a little bit more, a little bit more, until they get a full physical introduction,’’ Fernandes said at a press conference as Luna, be-
hind a glass partition, dove over and over into a pond, pounced on a toy ark and ball, and wrestled with shrubbery. “When you have adult animals, it can be more problematic,’’ Fernandes said, “but I don’t think we’ll have a problem with these young guys. I think they’ll be very excited to have a playmate.’’ Kali, expected to stay in Buffalo six months, made the 4,400-mile (7,080-kilometre) trip in a stainless steel crate, tended to by handlers given Federal Aviation Administration clearance to be on the cargo deck, UPS Capt. Jon Burrows said. The Buffalo Zoo hopes Kali will be a permanent resident, but the decision will be up to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

NEWS NYC’s Columbia University seeks to change whites-only fellowship bequest from 1920 Associated Press
NEW YORK — Columbia University is seeking to change the terms of a 93-year-old fellowship that can only be awarded to white students from Iowa. The Lydia C. Roberts Graduate Fellowship stipulates that money be given only to “a person of the Caucasian race.’’ Roberts left Columbia most of her $509,000 estate when she died in 1920 and created the highly restrictive fellowship. In addition to the “whites only’’ rule, fellows must be from Iowa, must not study law or
several other fields and must return to Iowa for two years after graduating. University officials filed court papers last week in support of a move by the fund’s administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, seeking to change the race provisions of the bequest. The Daily News reports that the Ivy league school hasn’t awarded the fellowship since 1997. “Columbia long ago ceased awarding the fellowships in question and does not follow gift conditions that violate anti-dis cr imination
laws,’’ the university said in a statement Wednesday. “It should go without saying that a university rightly known for the great diversity of its student body is as offended as
anyone by the requirements of these fellowships.’’ According to the affidavit, the current value of the trust is $840,000, and it earned $26,000 in income in 2011.
