Twenty years ago, Cranbrook painter Adolphus “Duffy” Burton moved into the Dr. F.W. Green Home to spend his final years. During the next few years in the early ‘90s, Duffy painted dozens of portraits of his friends at the home. Until three years ago, those portraits
lined the halls of the Green Home, the smiling faces of those now gone, hiding untold stories of Cranbrook’s past. Now, recreation coordinator Mari Thomas and Laird Siemens, chair of the Family Council, want to get in touch with family and friends of those former residents to return the portraits to loved ones. “We are hoping to get the portrait of
dear old dad or grandad into the hands of the family,” said Laird. Right now, the portraits are being held in storage at the F.W. Green Home. “The families should have them,” said Mari. “It might mean something to them. We are advocating on behalf of these residents.”

Man arrested with eighteen grams of cocaine TOWNSMAN STAFF
RCMP performed a drug bust in Meadowbrook on Friday night, April 26. A 24-year-old Meadowbrook man, who police allege was selling drugs, was taken into custody after a lengthy
investigation by Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP. Police seized eighteen onegram baggies of cocaine, cell phones and cash from the home. The man went before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and
was released on bail. The conditions of his release include $500 bail, not going into Kimberley, an 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew, and not possessing cell phones or weapons. He will next appear in
Cranbrook Provincial Court on June 17. “Eighteen separate baggies is a significant amount since cocaine is typically sold in one- or half-gram quantities,” said Cpl. Chris Newel.

A B.C. Supreme Court jury in Kamloops found three Cranbrook men guilty of counselling to kill a rival drug dealer in 2009. The trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia, which began Feb. 6, was held amid extra security at the courthouse. After four days of deliberation — said to be the lengthiest jury deliberation since the 2009 trial of Allan Schoenborn — the jury returned its verdict on a string of murder-conspiracy and weapons charges late Sunday afternoon. Sentencing is expected to follow in a month’s time. While all three were pronounced guilty on the counselling to commit murder charges, Adams was found not guilty of the separate charge of conspiracy to commit murder. Carry and Correia were both

convicted on the conspiracy charges. Carry, 31, the only one of the three not held in custody during the trial, was also convicted of possession and attempt to transfer an AK47-like automatic rifle. His girlfriend burst into tears when the verdict was read. “It’s been a long four years, I tell you,” Carry said outside court after hearing the verdict. He said he was shocked to be found guilty of the gun charges and that he intends to appeal the conviction. Correia was also convicted of possessing and attempting to transfer a restricted handgun. The Crown’s case in the trial hinged upon the testimony of police agent and career criminal Garry Shank, a parolee who agreed to become an informant after he was found in possession of an AK-47 in 2009.

There is a brisk breeze ruffling my fur and it carries with it a multitude of scents, all of them rich and heavy with the perfume of new life. The wind smells of spring.
An unrestrained dogumentary.
Being of the canine persuasion, smell is the sense upon which I most depend to perceive my current reality. Humans, with their reliance on their sense of sight, have a worldview; we dogs, on the other hand, have a world sniff. That said, springtime is definitely my favourite time of year. ‘Tis the season that fairly reeks of life. It seems like just yesterday that we were up to our dewclaws in snow when we went for our walks on the ridge, and now suddenly there are wild flowers appearing. The grass is greening, the trees are in bud, and I am beginning to shed like a crazy dog. There are no more unequivocal signs of spring than these — especially the latter. Another of my favourite things about the warming of my world is that the ice has finally melted off our pond. This small body of water located just down the hill to the north of the house transforms from a flat table of snow-covered ice in winter to a spring-fed pool of aquatic richness. Like a liquid cradle it nurtures new life into the world: baby frogs, toads, salamanders and hordes of mosquito larvae thrive in its depths, while fuzzy ducklings are hatched on its shores and float and frolic on its surface. Even more important than all that life-giving however, at least to Dog Taylor and I, is the role it plays recreationally. You see, to us, the pond is also known as the ol’ swimmin’ hole.

Being Retrievers, our infatuation with water, especially paddling about in it, is genetically motivated. In other words, we can’t help ourselves. While you humans celebrate spring with meaningful religious rites like going to garden centres and having barbeques, we Retrievers honour the vernal equinox with a bracing dip in the just recently icefree pond. My tail starts to wag just thinking about it. The pond’s restorative waters not only provide for amphibians, dogs and Mallards; I believe that humans too benefit from the magic contained there in. For example, just recently, after an afternoon immersion in the pond with Taylor, we entered the house only to hear, “What is that smell? Boulder, you and Taylor stink like wet dog!” Wonder of wonders, those magical waters when applied liberally to our coats had elevated our poor humans underdeveloped sense of smell to a level whereupon they could not only see we were wet, they could smell we were wet.

Amazing! The brisk spring breeze continues to ruffle my fur, its rich breath filling my nose with rumours of summer and pulling a little more pond water from my coat. With this benevolent wind and any luck at all, I will soon be dry enough that my humans just might let me back into the house. The pond water magic should have blown away by then.

Gearing up for Election 2013 This is the fifth installment in the Townsman’s weekly series from the two declared Kootenay East candidates for the upcoming Provincial election — Bill Bennett of the B.C. Liberals and Norma Blissett of the B.C. NDP. The question of the week is: “Who do you look up to most in life, and why?”
I admire political leaders like Winston Churchill, who could’ve been talking about Adrian Dix’s $3 billion worth of promises when he said, “Expenditure is always popular; the only unpopular part about it is the raising of the money to finance the expenditure”. My father was also an important influence. One of my dad’s best expressions was, “There’s many a slip between the cup and the lip”. That little bit of wisdom has kept me from getting over-confident in sports, work and in politics. In this election, I will work seven days a week and I will run hard right through the finish line. I take nothing for granted and I always respect my opponent. I
Bill Bennett learned that from my father. However, when I think about “who I look up to most in life”, there is only one person, and that is my wife Beth. By the time this column is printed, we will have been married for 39
years. We met when Beth was 14 and I got jilted on a blind date. We’ve been best friends ever since. We’ve raised two sons together, lost our first child together, suffered business and personal set-backs together, and in three very distinct careers — owner of a fishing lodge, lawyer and politician — Beth has made it possible for me to succeed. In the political world, Beth has often borne the worst of it when I am being attacked. Beth works full time as a book keeper. And still, because of her, my home is my sanctuary. Beth is my closest advisor and I could not, would not, do what I am doing without Beth at my side. I don’t know how she puts up with me, but I thank God every day that she does.
Like many Canadians, I admire and have been inspired by Tommy Douglas. Tommy Douglas was the leader of the first NDP (then CCF) government in Saskatchewan and led the way for many social reforms in the rest of Canada. As a Baptist minister he embraced the social gospel and a belief in improving the world by tackling inequality and injustice. After witnessing so much suffering during the Great Depression he moved into politics as he concluded that political action was necessary to help the underprivileged and exploited. As premier of Saskatchewan from 1944-61, Douglas put forward many social reforms. Labour standards were greatly improved, the educational system was consolidated and legislation was enacted to protect farmers from
norma blissett foreclosure. The government established many social welfare programs, set up a number of Crown corporations and began to build the foundation for Medicare. Tommy Douglas was an inspirational speaker. He was able to reach out to ordinary people and spread his message of hope and action. Leg-
end has it that he visited every farmhouse in Saskatchewan. His belief in a better, more just society never wavered even when he battled extreme odds. Douglas and the NDP first advocated programs such as Medicare, a Canada-wide pension plan and bargaining rights for civil servants. These are now more or less firmly in place and universally accepted in Canada, but are under threat from conservative governments. Tommy Douglas was a humanist who embodied perseverance, commitment, wit and wisdom. He believed that the happiest people are those who live for something bigger than themselves. It was Tommy Douglas who famously said: “Courage, my friends; tis never too late to build a better world.”
Tribunal dismisses Doukhobor complaint Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
Over a year after the case was heard in Nelson, a discrimination complaint brought against the provincial government by a group of Doukhobors has been rejected. In her 76-page ruling released Friday, tribunal member Enid Marion concluded that there was no evidence that the government discriminated against the group, known as the New Denver Survivors, in its response to a 1999 ombudsman’s report. The latter suggested they were owed an apology and compensation for being sent to
a New Denver residential school in the 1950s. “While I may sympathize with their personal feelings about this issue, I cannot conclude, based on the limited evidence before me, that the Survivors’ race, ancestry or religion was a factor in the Ministry’s refusal to implement any of the report’s recommendations,” Marion wrote. “I also appreciate that the Survivors felt deeply hurt and offended by the Ministry’s refusal to formally apologize to them, despite their consistent expression of need for a real and sincere apology in order to truly heal. The
value of a sincere apology cannot be underestimated.” The hearing, held in Nelson and Vancouver in January and February 2012, got off to a shaky start when the group’s lawyer quit for unexplained reasons. Complainant Walter Swetlishoff then conducted the case himself. The tribunal heard testimony from the group that they were offered several million dollars for a research project to unearth documents related to their seizure as children. However, a retired bureaucrat refuted the claim, saying while such
a project was considered, it had no firm price tag. Marion said she accepted that no financial offer was made by the ministry. The tribunal also heard from former attorney general Geoff Plant, who insisted that for liability reasons a “statement of regret” was the best he could offer the survivors, rather than the apology they wanted. The government seized nearly 200 school-age children between 1953 to 1959 and placed them in a former tuberculosis sanatorium because their parents refused to send
Trial results in guilty verdicts Continued from page 1 Shank said he was hired to kill Doug Mahon by the three men. Mahon was part of a drug gang that was involved in a shooting with Kootenay rivals outside a Cranbrook bar. Adams’ sister, Jennifer Adams, a Kamloops resident who attended the trial, said she, too, was surprised by the weapons convic-
tions because she believed the evidence Shank gave was uncorroborated. She felt sure that a voir dire — a trial within a trial — held over abuse of process would show that police did not follow the book in hiring an informant with parole violations. Shank testified earlier in the trial that before becoming an agent, Correia and Carry set him
up with a semi-automatic rifle and ammunition. His “heavy work” was to kill Mahon for $10,000. But defence lawyer Don Campbell said conversations recorded by RCMP during the scenarios show Adams had no knowledge of Shank’s eventual arrest in a trailer late in 2009, when he was busted by RCMP in possession of the rifle.

There are 48 portraits, each painted in Duffy’s distinctive style, with the name of the subject on a gold plate. Until the home was renovated around 2010, the portraits were on display. “It was always a touchstone,” said Laird. “I would walk down the hallway and look at these portraits and feel connected to the community.” Laird’s mom is a resident at the Green Home and he sits on the Family Council, a group that meets once a month to advocate on behalf of the residents. “It seemed like a waste to have them in storage. It’s a lose-lose,” Laird said. “It’s a snapshot in time. (Duffy) didn’t do it in the ‘80s, he didn’t do it after the ‘90s. But here’s a snapshot of this period.
What’s interesting is the stories – we don’t know what they are but each portrait represents a story.” Little is known of the Cranbrook residents painted by Duffy Burton; now all that remains is the portrait and the name attached. If you are family or a friend of any of the following people, please contact Mari Thomas to find out more at mari. thomas@interiorhealth. ca or phone 250-4202451.

Matters of style
I am a middle-of-the-road voter with a history in B.C. that is much longer than either of the local candidates for MLA. Other than the fact that neither the Liberal nor NDP platforms are close to the views of the average voter (I wish both parties could learn to respect different points of view, because finding win/win solutions for those differences would benefit B.C. much more than having some fringe solution imposed upon us), my biggest concern is the pollution of the Elk and Kootenay Rivers by the coal industry. I am an old Cominco kid who knows that the Cominco smelter in Trail did not stop polluting the air until the government made them reduce emissions in the 1930s. Then, Cominco discovered they could make money producing fertilizers from those toxic gases. In fact, the fertilizer business carried Cominco during lean years when metal prices were low. Then in the 1950s, the government made Cominco stop dumping slag from its furnaces into the Columbia River. Again, Cominco started making money from the rare metals, like indium, that were in the slag. When the government of the day made Cominco, at Kimberley, stop dumping gypsum into Mark Creek, Marysville residents no longer called it Gray Creek. Government regulation can be good for business and for the environment, Mr. Bennett. When Crestbrook Forest Industries was required, by the government of the day, to stop using beehive burners, they built a co-generation plant at the pulp mill and burned the waste wood in a cleaner manner, while producing electricity. A win/win for Crestbrook and for the air we breathe in the valley. Big corporations do not stop polluting by themselves, Mr. Bennett, even when it could be profitable (and create well paying jobs) to do so. Governments have to REGULATE those corporate activities, and ENFORCE their regulations. It is appalling that the coal companies have been allowed to over-produce their ability to protect the Elk and Kootenay Rivers from mine water toxins. We need to change the way our B.C. government regulates local coal mines. Who knows? Those toxic metals could be profitable one day. It appears Bill Bennett doesn’t have the guts to get the job done. Do you, Norma Blissett?
I attended the all candidates forum in Fernie and although I went there intending to vote for Bill Bennett, I did not expect such a total lack of knowledge from the local NDP challenger. One of the questions was: “How will you contribute to the economic drivers of your community?” Mr. Bennett talked about ensuring that Teck Coal can continue to operate against the selenium challenge, finding money for fixing our highways and keeping taxes low. Ms. Blissett said she would “shop local.” She then proceeded to claim that the HST drove all businesses out of B.C. She clearly does not understand fundamental economics and how much a value-added tax helps any business – forestry, mining, construction, tourism, manufacturing or small business – and does not understand how getting rid of HST has put B.C. business at a competitive disadvantage with Ontario and Alberta. Next was her claim that the 1990s were a golden period for B.C. I started and operated a small business during the 1990s, and times were very lean. There was virtually no construction activity, few visitors, no tourism economy and the local coal mines were struggling to remain in business. Not once in 10 years did our local NDP MLA meet with small business, visit our businesses or ask us how to create jobs or to build a prosperous community or economy. The NDP decade of decline is now used as a case study in business schools to teach students how poor government policy can quickly take a strong economy and turn it into a weak economy. When asked about standing up to her party if the NDP wanted to put a park in the Flathead, she replied, “I am only one vote.” Bill Bennett said, “no”. To top it all off, the NDP candidate just kept promising to spend money, hundreds of millions of our tax dollars. She had no clue where the NDP would get that money, but she did ridicule Mr. Bennett because he is proud of having the lowest personal income taxes in Canada and having a strong credit rating especially compared to governments in Spain and Greece. It is clear, the NDP will find the $3 billion Mr. Dix has promised from higher taxes on individual citizens, small businesses and corporations.

I have been watching, with keen interest, the evolution of the picture ads in the local media of one of our MLA candidates for the upcoming contest. We first see him as a bedraggled, disheveled and seemingly beaten man who, after doing battle with a fish, appears to have been saved by his smiling youthful companion (Townsman, March 28). That picture clearly speaks to every man, woman and child and shows how he can be “down and dirty” and be like us. He had a real hard time with that fish or his make-up artist was underpaid. Next (Townsman, April 16) we have him standing confident and assured next to a pretty lady, with rugged-looking wilderness in the background. Here he has clearly mastered the elements and apparently does lots of outdoorsy things. I note he does not mention swimming (which may account for his appearance in the first ad), or playing hockey or attending concerts and art shows. That is surprising, being Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. However, he claims to be, “one of us,” a topic debated consequently in letters to the editor. Lately he appears dignified, friendly and gracious and really casual (Advertiser, April 22) and apparently will “put us first” and speak the truth, and be willing to pay a price for doing so. I do not see how he should suffer in that case, unless it has to do with the HST and Jumbo. The metamorphosis of the three ads is quite spectacular and I am anxiously waiting for the next installment. Most voters know that B.C.’s economy depends entirely on the international price of fuel and wood, and nothing that a political party can promise or do can change that. The best ploy is to adapt quickly to changing conditions. What someone or a party did or said a decade or two ago is not relevant in this popularity contest. And to say that our choice is high or low taxes, jobs or no jobs, etc. is superficial. I would prefer that my MLA not be like me; I would rather they be intelligent, graceful, thoughtful, hold their ego and temper in check and have respect of their peers and not think of politics as a contact sport (Townsman, Feb. 28). I really don’t care whether they lead a lifestyle a la Daniel Boone or Davy Crocket as rugged frontiersmen. Jack Loeppky Cranbrook
Tories reverse course on foreign worker program C anadian Press
OTTAWA — Amid a public outcry, the Conservative government is reversing controversial changes it made last year to the temporary foreign workers program. The government announced Monday that employers will no longer have some flexibility to set the wages for foreign labour, calling a halt to what was known as the 15 per cent rule. That rule allowed businesses to pay foreign workers up to 15 per cent below average wages for a job.
The Conservatives are also hitting pause on a program that fast-tracked the ability of some companies to bring in workers from outside Canada through what’s known as an accelerated labour market opinion. The government announced the 15 per cent rule and the new application process last year, saying they would help meet labour market demands and support the economy. But after two companies were outed in the last six months for using the foreign
workers program at what appeared to be the expense of Canadian jobs, the Tories promised reforms. In 2012, 213,516 people entered Canada via the temporary foreign worker program, more than triple the number admitted a decade ago. Put another way, the private sector brought in 25 per cent more foreign labourers last year than the number of economic immigrants accepted by the government, which has long insisted caps on its own programs are necessary so as
not to flood the Canadian labour market. The new rules introduced Monday require a combination of regulatory and legislative reform. Some of them were laid out in the federal budget introduced in March and included in the government’s broader budget implementation bill, tabled Monday in the House of Commons. They include the ability to charge employers a fee to bring in foreign labour rather than have the government absorb the cost of the program.

NDP plan means plenty of spending Fourth in a series on party platforms. DP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform. Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was plenty more spending added to the total. The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest — more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years. As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform. Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable. Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence. Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise. Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000.
N
This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify. It would be partly funded by cancelling a B.C. Liberal BC VIEWS plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born Tom after 2006. Out with self-reliFletcher ance, in with the nanny state. Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers, to address the teachers’ union’s often-repeated but false claim of “a decade of cuts” in education. Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices. On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs …” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The B.C. Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the “fully costed” NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

New fly fishing shop opens in Cranbrook A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff
A well-known Kimberley fly fishing shop recently made the jump downstream to Cranbrook. Kelly Laatsch and his wife Karin opened the St. Mary Angler Fly Shop on the strip, beside Pizza Hut, three weeks ago, after running the Kimberley shop for 11 years. Laatsch said they both wanted to move the shop to a larger centre, so Cranbrook was the natural choice. As you walk into the shop you’re greeted with walls of specialized equipment like rods, hooks and waders. There is also a large board that describes the fishing conditions in various streams in the area. Laatsch said it’s important to him that fishermen know the best places to go. “More than anything we’re a customer

Kelly and Karen Laatsch recently moved the St. Mary Angler Fly Shop to Cranbrook, after 11 years in Kimberley. The shop is located beside Pizza Hut on the strip and stocks a large selection of gear. service shop,” he said. “For us it’s all about making sure anglers have a great fishing ex-
perience in our area. It’s not just about selling them equipment.” Laatsch said they
will even assemble equipment bought at another shop if it wasn’t assembled
there. The new shop is also offering some new gear choices than those in the past.
“Our shop here is going to be a more diverse shop,” he said. “It will carry a broader
range of product lines. We’ve changed some of our products as well.” The shop is a full retail pro-shop and stocks everything needed for a fly fishing experience. Laatsch himself said he’s been fly fishing for 45 years. “I took it up when I was eight years old,” he said. “It’s part of my life. Fly fishing is really what I do for a living. I had a previous career, but it was getting in the way of fly fishing.” The fly shop also does guiding tours. “In the Spring and the Fall we guide on the upper Columbia, but in the summer months, we guide here,” he said, adding that about 80 per cent of the guests come from the U.S. and the rest from B.C., Alberta and abroad. They have five full time guides during the fishing season. Visit the website at w w w . s t m a r y a n g l e r. com.
Five storylines to watch entering NHL post-season Ca n ad ian Press
After a truncated 48game regular season, the NHL post-season has arrived. Here’s a look at five storylines to watch as the quest for the Stanley Cup begins: Canadian Teams Face Off The Montreal Canadiens struggled down the stretch but still earned the No. 2 seed in
the Eastern Conference thanks in part to a key victory over Toronto in the regular-season finale. The Habs will get a date with the surprising Ottawa Senators, who took the seventh seed despite injuries to several key players this season. With the cities just a two-hour drive apart, expect an electric atmosphere in both rinks as
Tim mulls options
If Tebow wants to play in CFL, Montreal says he would have to vie for backup job A s s o c i at e d P r e s s
MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes would welcome Tim Tebow to the CFL — provided he’s willing to compete for a job as a backup. The New York Jets released the former Heisman Trophy winner Monday, a year after acquiring him in a trade with Denver. His NFL future is now in doubt, and the CFL could be a landing spot. Montreal has exclusive negotiating
rights to him. But Anthony Calvillo is entrenched as Montreal’s quarterback. He is 40 years old and entering his 20th CFL season. Former Boston College star Quinton Porter is the No. 2 QB. General manager Jim Popp has not heard from Tebow or his representatives. He says he’d be happy to take a look at him, but he would ``obviously be competing for a backup job.’’
fans of both teams fill the seats. The pressure in this series seems to be squarely on Montreal. Making it to the post-season was a significant accomplishment for the banged-up Senators, who are playing with house money and have nothing to lose. With star defenceman Erik Karlsson now back on the blue-line, Ottawa could give Montreal all it can handle and then some. Defending Champions As a No. 8 seed last year, the Los Angeles Kings went about their business and kept upsetting teams en route to their first Stanley Cup title. The pressure will be more intense this year as they go for backto-back championships. Los Angeles was steady throughout the season and will be brimming with confidence entering its firstround series with St. Louis. The Kings swept the Blues last year and Los Angeles won all three regular-season meetings this year. In addition, Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick has

Is Cory Schneider ready to carry the load for the Vancouver Canucks? shown he can thrive in the playoff spotlight. Los Angeles is looking to become the first team to repeat since the Detroit Red Wings won a second straight title in 1998. Canucks in the Shark Tank The lone Canadian team to make the playoffs in the Western Conference, the Vancouver Canucks have a few question marks entering their first-round matchup with the San Jose Sharks. Chief among them is the status of netminder Cory Schneider. Has he fully recovered from the un-
disclosed ``body injury’’ he was nursing down the stretch? Will Roberto Luongo be in form to carry the load if needed? Luongo served in a limited role this season and is coming off a 7-2 shellacking in the regular-season finale at Edmonton. Vancouver is the third seed in the West but the two teams have virtually identical records. The Canucks had trouble with San Jose this season, losing all three of their regular-season games to the Sharks. Class of the Conference
The Chicago Blackhawks showed early on that they are the team to beat in the West. The Pittsburgh Penguins weren’t fazed by injury issues and surged to top spot in the East. Both teams had comfortable leads in their respective conference standings and are good bets to meet in the Stanley Cup final. Will anyone come close to knocking them off early? Chicago opens against the eighth-seeded Minnesota Wild while Pittsburgh takes on the eighth-seeded New York Islanders. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby missed the
final 12 games of the regular season after breaking his jaw but Pittsburgh has been strong without him. Hockey fans might just be treated to a couple of No. 1 seeds squaring off for the championship. Buds are Back It has been almost four decades since the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins last met in the playoffs. The two teams still have a strong connection though. The Original Six rivals hooked up for a major trade in 2009, which significantly changed the look of both teams. Boston gave up Phil Kessel in exchange for three draft picks, including two first-round selections. The Bruins used the first-rounders to take Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton and both have been key contributors. Kessel, who has averaged over a point a game the last two seasons, is a big reason why Toronto is making its first playoff appearance in nine years. Expect the vocal fans at Boston’s TD Garden to give him the gears this series.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You make quite an impression on someone. If this person has any preconceived impressions or judgments about you, they will slip away as your authentic self emerges. Your self-esteem might be boosted by his or her positive feedback. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might rock the boat, which is something you usually try not to do. A new perspective results from discussing a changeable situation. An associate or a loved one could become even more withdrawn. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not want to reveal all of your thoughts about a key partnership, as you could realize how many changes you have gone through with the other party involved, both professionally and personally. Make a solid decision with this knowledge. Tonight: Indulge.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have the backing of friends. For the most part, you can do no wrong; however, there always seems to be someone who likes being contentious. You could have your hands full, so you are likely to avoid being wherever this person is. Tonight: Do your own thing! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are inclined to dive into work and get as much done as possible. You might have a new approach to a situation. Let others feel free to comment. Though you might not agree with every idea, you could with many. Resist a squabble if possible. Tonight: Keep it light. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Conversations with you often come up cold or not direct, especially at this present time. Establish limits. A loved one shows unusual caring, allowing you to relax and/or come up with some creative solutions. Encourage suggestions and feedback. Tonight: Happy as a cat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can’t seem to gain sufficient

control in a certain situation. Someone around you is particularly creative, so it would be wise to ask this person for his or her advice. You are lucky to have this resource. Tonight: Head home, but encourage a discussion with a dear loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You seem to pick the right words to get a situation moving. Understand that you can be more dominant than you currently are. It is hard for you to give up control, but you might want to make an effort to step back more often. Tonight: Think before you act or have a discussion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are your own worst critic. You might want to open up to others’ ideas and share more of what you experience personally. You are surrounded by a great deal of compassion. For today, surround yourself with people whom you care a lot about. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to news more responsively. You are capable of opening someone up who might be
closed down right now. You know how to persuade this person to share his or her feelings, provided you do so in a safe place. Use care with a grumpy boss. Tonight: Let the party begin. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be careful with someone you meet today for the first time, as this person might not be everything that he or she claims to be. His or her words will reveal much if you take the time to listen. Work together toward a resolution. Tonight: Try to take a break from the hectic pace. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Touch base with someone at a distance. Your feeling will change once you start having an open discussion. You might feel as if someone is making a problem far more complicated than it needs to be. Others could be distracted. Tonight: Focus on getting your to-do list finished.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Jarrod,” has always been very anxious about social situations and has a hard time making friends. Since graduating from high school, he’s lost touch with the few people he considered friends and has become very isolated. Together with the stress of passing his college courses, he has spiraled into a serious depression. Jarrod constantly laments that he has no friends and that his family only wants him to get a job and move out. (They recently staged an intervention and referred to him as a “failure to launch.”) He thinks no one besides me would care if anything happened to him. He often states that he wishes everything would just end. I want Jarrod to see a doctor and get help, but he says the idea of talking to someone about his problems scares him and stresses him out even more. He’s convinced no one can help him. He thinks antidepressants would make him feel worse. When I suggest that a better sleep schedule, healthier eating habits and more exercise could help, he says he doesn’t care enough to try. How do I help him find the motivation to get the help he needs? I love him and am terrified that he’s just given up on life. -- Worried in the Mountains Dear Worried: Jarrod is depressed, but his unwillingness to get help prevents him from getting better and has become a burden on you. First, please understand that you are not responsible for his mental health, and you cannot help him without his cooperation. Tell him that one little step could make all the difference, and suggest he speak to a counselor at the college. Offer to go with him. You can notify the counseling office about Jarrod’s depression and ask them to check on him. We also recommend The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org). Dear Annie: My wife and I frequently drive her 80-something parents around. Here is the problem: From the time my father-in-law gets in the car until we reach our destination, he sings, whistles and hums. This grates on me like fingernails on a blackboard. I have tried turning up the radio, but he just increases his volume. I attempt conversation, but he only stops singing long enough to answer my question and then immediately resumes his serenade. I know if I were to ask him to stop, it would be the beginning of World War III. He has a bad temper and a short fuse. I get along with him fine otherwise, but I find this incredibly rude and increasingly unbearable. I try to avoid driving them, but our proximity and common gatherings make it hard. My wife seems oblivious. She has been subjected to this all her life. No one has ever had the gumption to poke this wasp nest with a stick. What can I do? -- Want Duct Tape Dear Want: You could try singing along at the top of your lungs. But really, we don’t think Dad does this deliberately to annoy you. It sounds like an ingrained habit. Either tolerate it, drive separate cars or ask your wife to drive while you listen to something else through a set of headphones. Dear Annie: If “Technically Impaired in New York” wishes to learn how to text, great, but she shouldn’t feel obligated to invest in this extra feature or spend time learning how to do it. My extremely techie children took the time to write old-fashioned postcards and handwritten letters to their grandmother, who greatly appreciated their consideration. I taught them that they should be deferring to her needs rather than the other way around. This important relationship of respect and special care has been remembered with great fondness since she passed away in 2011. -Soon-to-Be Grandmother Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Fond farewell to
Dale Grady.
Eternally Remember Your Loved One
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost a good friend. Shocked with the news, I have been at a loss for words, but here goes... They say the truth is never simple, nor is it pure, but the whole truth of Dale could be found in the latest issue of Field & Stream. Plain and simple he was a nice guy. We met in grade 5 and went to school together all through the years.

We fished Joseph Creek from Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm to Pine Crest. Then we chased bullies in the Elk and later on we chased different fish at places like the Bluebird and Wotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disco. Ah, the fun we had! If I was lost in the bush, he never was and if the fish werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t biting, he knew what to do. He knew the land like the back of his hand and I loved and respected him for that. Reminds me of a story of Dale, being that he loved fishing so much. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Pearly Gates and he is met by Saint Peter who is shaking his head and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry kid. I know some of the stuff that went on down there so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you in, but before you go God was wondering if you could let him know where the Bull trout are biting!â&#x20AC;? Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are days God would want his advice on fishing and the outdoors, for the other stuff I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Dale has to worry. I just hope God has a place where he can fish, hunt, ski and be outdoors where we all know he loved to be. Farewell good friend and rest in peace. Pete Thrasher

NEW YORK — One World Trade Center, the skyscraper that replaces the fallen twin towers in New York City, is about to receive the last pieces of its crowning spire, a 124-metre structure built in part in Canada. Once the spire is installed, the 104story highrise, already New York’s tallest building, will be just feet from becoming the highest in the Western Hemisphere. Officials had hoped that would happen Monday, but the weather did not co-operate and it was postponed due to high winds. The event will be rescheduled when conditions permit. The new tower’s crowning spire is a joint venture between the Montreal-based ADF Group Inc. engineering firm and New York-based DCM Erectors Inc., a steel contractor. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the spire pieces and a steel beacon will be lifted at a later date from the rooftop to cap the building at 541 metres. Installation of the 800-ton spire began in December, after 18 pieces were shipped from Canada and New Jersey. The spire will serve as a worldclass broadcast antenna. With the beacon at its peak to ward off aircraft, the spire will provide public transmission services for television and radio broadcast channels that were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, along with the trade centre towers. Overlooking the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the highrise is scheduled to open for business in 2014. The tower is at the northwest corner of the site, which is well on its way to reconstruction with the 72-story 4 World Trade Center and other buildings. Monday’s postponed celebration of the reconstructed trade centre was to come days after a grisly reminder of

the terror attack that took nearly 3,000 lives: the discovery of a rusted airplane part wedged between a nearby mosque and an apartment building — believed to be from one of the hijacked planes that ravaged lower Manhattan. As officials prepared to erect the spire, the office of the city’s chief medical examiner was working in the hidden alley where debris may still contain human remains. The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is the Willis Tower in Chicago. The world’s tallest building, topping 823 metres, is in Dubai.
Loblaw to compensate Bangladesh collapse victims C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Loblaw Inc. says it will be providing compensation for the families of victims who worked in the collapsed Bangladeshi garment factory which made products for its Joe Fresh clothing line. The company says it aims to ensure that victims and their families “receive benefits now and in the future.’’ Spokeswoman Julija Hunter says the company is still working out the details, but plans to deliver support
“in the best and most meaningful way possible.’’ The company also says it wants to drive change to help prevent similar incidents in the future. Loblaw was one of a group of companies meant to meet with the Retail Council of Canada to discuss how to prevent similar tragedies in the future. At least 382 people died after the illegally constructed eight-storey building collapsed last week. About 2,500 survivors have been accounted for.
