Flood situation improves across region C A R O LYN G R A N T Daily Bulletin

SALLY MACDONALD PHOTO

The surging Bull River was giving a beating to BC Hydro’s Aberfeldie Dam on Saturday, June 22. The run-of-river facility had water gushing over it, roaring through the canyon below beside the Bull River Forest Service Road. Meanwhile, BC Hydro’s Elko Dam on the Elk River was in danger of giving way Friday night as the abutments supporting each side of the dam were being eroded by high flows on the river. BC Hydro crews worked on the Elko Dam through the night to divert water and the danger had largely passed by Saturday afternoon.

An incredibly busy period for municipal, regional district and emergency crews across the entire region appears to be calming somewhat, at least for now.

Cranbrook would have to be considered the luckiest community in the area with no real damage or flood concerns after the heavy rains.

“It appears our portion of the East Kootenay has escaped a bullet,” said Joe McGowan, Cranbrook’s Director of Public Works. “We are one of the very fortunate ones.”

The turbidity levels in Cranbrook’s water was well within standard, he said Friday.

Joseph Creek experienced localized flooding in the “usual areas” between Baker Park and the Green Clinic, but no buildings were threatened.

In Kimberley, with no significant precipitation for the past 24 hours (at press time, Sunday) Mark Creek, while still running very fast, appears to have peaked. In the Morrison Subdivision, which was beginning to flood on Friday, June 21, water has receded.

There are still a few lawns under water but the subdivision is dry for the most part.

While tap water in Kimberley looks clearer on Sunday than it did on Friday, the City has not yet lifted the Boil Water Notice.

The Kimberley situation has stabilized, says the Regional District of East Kootenay’s Information Officer Loree Duczek.

However, Mark Creek is still running quickly and residents

are advised to stay away from its banks.

The City also put out an advisory Friday that the walking bridge over Mark Creek by Marysville Falls may be unsafe after being pounded by water. Do not attempt to walk on the bridge. It and the boardwalk remain closed.

The highway from Wasa to Cranbrook (93/95) was still closed Sunday as flood waters were over the road in certain locations. That traffic is diverted through Kimberley to Cranbrook.

Wasa resident James Swansburg was keeping an eye on the rising water in that community and said that on Saturday, it appeared that the highway was essentially acting like a big dike between the lake and the river.

The RDEK has delivered sand and 2,000 sandbags to Wasa and the CPR is monitoring its tracks in that area.

Waters in Dutch Creek near Fairmont dropped over Friday night and the Evacuation Order for the HooDoo Resort Campground and surrounding residences has been rescinded. Both Fairmont Creek and Cold Spring Creek remained within their channels and the situation in Fairmont has stabilized compared to earlier last week, Duczek said. Invermere experienced only some localized flooding in low lying areas.

The Springbrook bridge at Skookumchuk has opened to single lane traffic after being closed Friday as the Kootenay River was eroding part of its support.

Mamas protecting babies: COs name three hot-spots for aggressive deer in Cranbrook Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Conservation officers are watching three areas in Cranbrook where does have acted aggressively towards dogs.

CO Joe Caravetta said the hot spots are along Hidden Valley Road, near Willowbrook Road, and around 3rd Street South and 9th Avenue South on Baker Hill.

“We’ve got three areas in Cranbrook where we have been having calls of deer being aggressive. Every one has been with a dog,” said Caravetta.

“We haven’t had any reports of people being attacked by deer.”

Fawning season is underway, when does are hiding

their newborns until they grow stronger.

“The does are defensive for their fawns until at least the middle of July,” said Caravetta.

“For about another month they will be very defensive because the fawns are not as mobile. Once the fawns can get up and run as fast as (the doe) can, then typically when they see something, they are going to flee the area.

“It’s right now, when the fawns can’t run very far and the mother knows that, she is going to have it bedded down in the grass. She knows that her little baby can’t run very far, so that’s when she becomes defensive.”

Does will often hide their newborn fawn in long grass then walk away to feed and keep the hiding spot a secret.

“Quite often people will find a fawn and think it’s abandoned but it’s really not,” said Caravetta.

Does with newborn fawns can see dogs as a threat.

“Its thoughts are that its fawn could be threatened by it.

So its natural instinct to protect its fawn kicks in and it pursues the dog,” explained Caravetta.

If you are walking your dog in Cranbrook for the next few weeks, have the dog on a leash, instead of running free.

“That’s when a dog will

more likely be chased by a doe, and the dog will come running right back to you and the doe right behind it,” said Caravetta.

It’s hard to know on sight if a deer has a fawn.

“The fawn could be off in the grass, behind the doe, hidden, and you may not even see it,” said Caravetta.

A doe’s behaviour can give the indication.

“Sometimes she will stand her ground. She may paw at the ground. She may droop her head and her ears and posture herself in such a position to be aggressive towards the dog.”

Report aggressive deer to the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.

“She’s extremely enthusiastic and hands on,” Fink said.

“She talks a lot of going with your instincts. She’s not, ‘reach for the door now’. She wants us to feel natural and comfortable,” McIntyre said. “And its such a funny play. We still find ourselves laughing at jokes we’ve heard 12 times or more.

“We are really excited to get it in front of an audience.”

Once “Self Help” opens on July 9, the cast will be performing in the evening and spending the days rehearing KST’s second summer production, the Wizard of Oz, which opens at McKim Theatre on August 3.

RREEAAD DEE RR

The cast of Kimberley Summer Theatre’s 2013 season are in town, settled into the house they will share and deep into rehearsals of the adult comedy “Self Help,” written by Norm Foster.

Foster is a well known Canadian playwright, although “Self Help” is more of a farce than those familiar with his work may be used to.

However, the cast say the play is hilarious and they are having a lot of fun in rehearsals.

“It’s a lot of fun, a classic farce,” said Brent Gill, a Summer Theatre veteran. “It has fast dialogue, doors opening and closing, sex and dead bodies.”

Gill says that in the past five years or so, Kimberley Summer Theatre has made great strides in terms of offering professional theatre.

Most of the rest of the cast, with the exception of Lisa Aasebo, are new to the company and looking forward to a summer in Kimberley.

“It’s a unique experience,” said Fiona McIntyre. “I go to school in New Jersey and this is very differ-

ent. You are in a professional environment but you can go biking and hiking in your off time.”

When they arrive in town, cast members are expected to have done their homework in terms of the characters they will be playing.

“You are supposed to do as much prep work as possible,” said Stuart Fink. “You don’t necessarily have to have all your lines learned. The director sets a day for when there will be no more book in your hand.”

“The first thing we do is a read through and blocking,” McIntyre said.”

Gill says that went well and the cast has been up and running since about the third day of rehearsals.

“I think that speaks to the quality of people brought in this year.”

“It changes every rehearsal,” McIntyre said.

“There is a lot of discovery that happens through the rehearsal process.”

The play is being directed by Cranbrook’s Tanya Laing Gahr, and the cast is enjoying working with her.

“She is awesome,” said Tricia Woodley.

“She is fun, funny,

Fairmont Creek was wild on Thursday.

Flood situation improves across region Continued from page 1 Access to Alberta is still very limited, especially to commercial vehicles. As of Sunday, buses and private vehicles were being allowed through from Radium to Castle Junction, after numerous slides had closed it late last week. And Highway 1 between Banff and Golden was open to private vehicles only.

However, Hwy 1 east into Alberta remains closed at Canmore, which sustained severe flood damage.

Highway 3 east of Sparwood has been reduced to single lane alternating at the Michel Creek Bridge as crews work to shore up the bridge abutment which has been eroded by high waters.

The Elk Valley, Sparwood and Fernie were all under various flood watches and evacuation orders as the weekend began.

The evacuation orders for Hosmer remained was rescinded on Sunday. Almost ninety families were out of their homes on that order.

The District of Elkford was maintaining the State of Local Emergency declared June 20th, 2013. The Evacuation Alert remained in place as of Sunday.

Duczek reported that a successful rescue mission approximately 65 kilometres north of Elkford was conducted via helicopter Saturday afternoon for two individuals that were stranded since Thursday because of washed-out bridges on the Elk River Forest Service Road. The individuals were in regular contact with emergency officials during this period of isolation.

Cranbrook Search and Rescue also put out a warning on Friday

that Forest Service roads all over the region were considered unsafe after numerous slides and people should avoid them.

“We are getting reports of several washouts and slides across numerous backcountry roads along with bridge washouts,” Duczek said.

The Elk River continues to recede, but further rain may increase the flow. Residents of that area are asked to stay away from the Elk River, Boivin Creek and to stay off the roads and trails north of town.

There was also concern over the weekend about the safety of the BC Hydro’s Elko Dam and Generating Station, located 70 kms southeast of Cranbrook on the Elk River. BC Hydro notified Provincial and local emergency officials and issued a public notification on Friday that

the dam was at risk of having its abutments eroded by the high water flows on the Elk River.

An abutment is the structure that supports each side of the dam.

BC Hydro crews worked through the night to divert water to minimize damage.

Water levels behind the dam did recede over the weekend.

The Elko Dam is a small run-ofriver facility that was built in 1924, standing 15.5 metres tall and 66 metres long.

Duczek said that the water levels experienced in this region over the past few days are higher than what occurred in the 1995 flood event.

“BC Hydro strongly urges the public to stay away from the Elk River and the low-lying land at the mouth of the river near the Koocanusa Reservoir as these areas are

currently extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening due to unpredictable water level changes.”

Damage assessments will soon be underway as the transition is made from response to recovery.

“The Provincial Regional Emergency Operations Centre has applied to have this rain event approved for Disaster Financial Assistance. That process is Provincial and can take several weeks before we know if the rain event will even be approved,” said Duczek.

“We are encouraging anyone who did experience damage in their homes to arrange for an assessment, take extensive photos, document damages and keep any receipts so that they have the information they need to make a claim if DFA funding is approved by the Province.”

How can Christy Clark be premier?

S

ince the results of the May election were made final, the most common question coming my way has not been how the B.C. Liberals pulled it off, or how the New Democrats could be so wrong, or even how I blew the call.

Rather it has been multiple variations on: How can Christy Clark be premier when she lost her own seat in the legislature? The question hasn’t always been phrased politely. Several correspondents have wondered how come I and my stooge colleagues in the news media keep referring to Clark as “premier” when everyone knows she isn’t.

More often, though, the folks who emailed or phoned have been expressing honest bewilderment.

The government is the party that won the most seats in the legislature. The legislature is where governments pass legislation, obtain the authority to spend public funds, and are held to account by the Opposition.

So how does a politician get to be the head of government, the premier, without a seat in that same legislature?

The answer is right there in the textbooks. The premier, like the prime minister on whose position the job is patterned, is the leader of the dominant party in the legislature. The preference is for him or her to also have a seat in the legislature. But there’s no immediate requirement to do so.

Still, judging from the number of times I’ve been asked to account for the validity of our seatless premier, there’s a genuine disconnect between the way the system does work and the way some folks think it should work.

Partly that’s because the office of premier, like the office of prime minister, is not defined in law and only mentioned in

passing in the Constitution. The office emerged organically, over the long struggle for paramountcy between the crown and parliament and is governed by a series of unwritten rules or conventions, some of them subject to reinterpretation over time.

Take that bit about the premier being the leader of the dominant political party in the legislature. Usually that is also the party that won a majority of seats in the most recent general election. But there are also premiers at the head of minority parliaVaughn ments and premiers whose of the house is a Palmer control matter of dispute.

Likewise no law or clause in the constitution obliges the premier to hold a seat in the legislature.

Moreover, one can cite examples of premiers who took office on the strength of their winning the leadership of the governing party, even though they did not themselves have a seat at the time: Bill Vander Zalm in 1986. Christy Clark herself in 2011.

Then, too, there are examples, more relevant to the current circumstances, of premiers who were able to continue in office after a general election in which they lost their own seat, because their party nevertheless carried the day in the overall seat count.

It happened in B.C. in the 1920s and in Alberta and Quebec in the 1980s.

Canada’s longest-serving prime minister, Mackenzie King, provided the granddaddy of all precedents in this realm. He twice went down to personal defeat in general elections won by his own party and both times continued as prime minister while arranging for his return to parliament via a convenient byelection.

Still the convention is that the head of government, being the prime minister in Ottawa or the premier in one of the prov-

inces, should have a seat in the house or take the necessary steps to obtain one sooner rather than later.

In Australia, the expectation has been codified into the country’s Constitution Act: “No minister shall hold office for a period longer than three months unless he or she becomes an (elected) member.”

Here there’s no specific timeline, merely a powerful suggestion, based on precedent, that three months is plenty long enough.

Vander Zalm called a general election seven weeks after taking the oath of office as premier in 1986. Clark in 2011 waited a day less than a month before scheduling a byelection. This time she called a byelection a week after the return of the writs certifying her party’s win and the loss of her seat in the general election.

If Clark wins the July 10 vote in Westside-Kelowna, she will have satisfied the unwritten rule that a premier ought to have a seat in the house or obtain one in short order. But what if she loses?

There’s no law nor convention to stop a premier from trying a third time in another constituency. But in practical political terms, she’d be damaged goods and facing public pressure to resign.

That thought would appear to have occurred to her and the Liberals this past week as well, hence the decision to back away from all but one of those incipient raises in the pay grid for political staff.

“I take responsibility for it,” she said.

“I’m the premier and I’m fixing it.”

Sure, it would have been better not to have done it in the first place. Still that’s how a premier should reverse course, taking full responsibility for the screw up.

Not to say that the backlash would necessarily have cost her the byelection. But wiser to play it safe and move on, given the stakes.

65,000 Calgarians returning home What’s Up? L aure n Krugel an d C hinta Puxley Canadian Press

About 65,000 Calgarians were being allowed to return to their homes Sunday to assess the damage from flooding that has left Alberta’s largest city awash in debris and dirty water.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi gave strict orders about what to watch for as residents re-entered their neighbourhoods, but he also redirected people’s focus downstream. He said communities such as Medicine Hat were still bracing for the fury of flooding and his city would offer whatever assistance it could.

Some Calgarians were returning to properties spared by flooding, but others were facing extensive repairs to homes and businesses. About 75,000 people had to leave at the height of the crisis as the Elbow and Bow rivers surged over their banks Thursday night.

Nenshi said crews were working hard to restore services and he thanked Calgarians for heeding the call to conserve drinking water.

He had already warned that recovery will be a matter of “weeks and months’’ and the damage costs will be “lots and lots.’’

While pockets of the city’s core were drying out, other areas were still submerged.

The mayor didn’t anticipate that anyone could return to work downtown until at least the middle of the week.

Public schools were also to remain closed Monday.

Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths said that 27

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

A row of homes undermined by floodwater line Cougar Creek in Canmore, Alberta as floodwater in the waterway eases on Friday, June 21, 2013. Canadian Press photo communities overall were under states of emergency — some areas slowly starting to emerge from the watery onslaught and others still bracing for it.

Three bodies have been recovered since the flooding began and a fourth person was still missing.

Griffiths said no place has been hit harder than the town of High River south of Calgary and it will be some time before residents there will be allowed back.

The waiting and worrying were causing tensions and emotions to run high, but Griffiths said virtually every home in the town if 18,000 would need to be inspected.

“We want to make sure that every person who has been dislocated is safe.’’

Tensions were also rising downstream and to the east where 10,000 people in Medicine Hat’s flood zone were instructed to head for higher ground as the powerful South Saskatchewan River rose.

The river was not expected to crest until Monday, but by

Sunday morning it was lapping over its banks in low-lying areas and people were busy laying down thousands of sandbags.

The South Saskatchewan slices through Medicine Hat and three bridges connect the two halves. Officials were warning that two of the bridges would be closed and traffic could potentially be barred from the third as well, cutting off the two sides from each other.

Mayor Norm Boucher said most people ordered to leave had done so, but a handful were refusing. He warned that officials could not guarantee their safety.

Ron Robinson, director of emergency measures, was asked if people could be forcibly removed from their homes.

Yes, he replied. “They can be fined, they can be jailed. We need to protect lives even if they don’t want us to.’’

Back in Calgary, emergency measures chief Bruce Burrell warned that despite the improving situation, the city was still in emergency mode.

The water has taken a toll outside residential neighbourhoods as well. The Saddledome hockey arena, home of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, was extensively damaged. The teams has said boards, dressing rooms, player equipment and several rows of seats are a total loss.

The rodeo and fair grounds of the Calgary Stampede were also swamped, although Nenshi was optimistic that things would be cleared up in time for the show to open July 5.

Nenshi said Sunday that all the major hotels in the downtown were closed and advised visitors to plan accordingly.

The federal Conservative party had planned to hold a policy convention in Calgary next weekend, but that’s been postponed and a new date hasn’t yet been set.

Canmore was one of the first communities hit when the flooding began on Thursday.

Residents there have been allowed to return to 260 evacuated homes, but RCMP say 40 more are too damaged to allow people back.

Dix, ‘heartbroken’ NDP provincial council meet for election post-mortem Dene Moore Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — A month after his party suffered a shocking electoral upset, British Columbia New Democrat Leader told party members that he takes responsibility for the debacle.

Adrian Dix faced the party’s provincial council on Saturday, at a meeting to be almost completely dominated by a post-mortem of the May 14 election.

“We had expected, we wanted, we were told we were going to win, and we didn’t and that is a devastating and heartbreaking thing,’’ Dix told the council.

“It is a heartbreaking loss, and I am the leader of the NDP and I take fully responsibility for that loss.’’

Dix said the New Democrats

must embrace the lessons of the failed campaign — a process that has been going on for weeks and will continue at least until a general convention in November, where he will face a leadership review.

Though his political future has been the topic of much speculation since election night, Dix remained determined that he will stay at the helm unless members decide otherwise this fall.

“I could have been better in the campaign, and that will stay with me for a long, long time,’’ Dix told the dozens of deflated regional representatives gathered in the basement of a downtown Vancouver hotel.

He blamed the Liberal victory on the loss of good-paying, blue-collar jobs under their governance.

“When you lose 40,000 forestry jobs in 10 years under the Liberals, it actually helps the Liberals win elections because those people who have been the bulwark of NDP support, particularly in the Interior, are not there,’’ Dix told delegates.

But he acknowledged that some of the blame must be directed in-house, including a failure to make their case during the campaign that the Liberals were not worthy of another term in office.

The New Democrats didn’t communicate their vision in a direct-enough way, and their campaign didn’t resonate with those who would have benefited from the changes they planned, he said.

“The positive message that we put forward about change did not resonate with those that it needed to resonate with,

and we have to acknowledge that,’’ he said.

He also offered a mea culpa to the council for announcing his opposition to an oil pipeline proposed by Calgary-based Kinder Morgan, saying it took away from a core focus the party had been planning for months around creating family-supporting, good-paying jobs.

“Our better agenda for jobs was lost somewhat in the debate around Kinder Morgan, and... because of the way we handled the issue, we didn’t actually have the debate that British Columbians needed to have about pipelines,’’ he said.

Outside the meeting, which was closed to the media, Dix said his focus will be on ensuring his New Democrats are an effective Opposition to B.C. Premier Christy Clark and her Liberal government.

Kings trade Bernier to Maple Leafs for Frattin, Scrivens and draft choice

TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs looked to end their goaltending questions Sunday by trading for goalie Jonathan Bernier.

Bernier, stuck behind Jonathan Quick with the Los Angeles Kings, wanted to play more. The Leafs, according to GM Dave Nonis, were interested in upgrades at any position.

“I think it’s incumbent upon every team to look at what’s available and if there is an ability to improve you look to do it,” Nonis said last week after the GM’s meetings in Boston.

Toronto gave up forward Matt Frattin, backup goaltender Ben Scrivens and a second-round pick in either the 2014 or 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Bernier, 24, is eligible to become a restricted free agent.

Bernier played in 14 regular-season games for the Kings in 2012-13, compiling a 9-3-1 record with a goals-against average of 1.88 and save percentage of .922.

King assistant GM Ron Hextall said the deal had been “ongoing for months.”

Saddledome’s nerve centre ‘a total loss’ to floods

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Rocky Mountain Bandits shortstop Devon Marra throws to first base to complete a double-play during a game against the Cranbrook senior men’s team on Sunday at Confederation Ball Park.

Bandits split weekend in Whitefish TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Bandits’ bats went to work over the weekend at a pair of games in Whitefish, however, the team split their record with a win and a loss.

The team started off with an emphatic 13-2 win over the Glaciers on Saturday, however, the Cranbrook-based squad had some troubles in the following rematch and fell 4-1.

Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek said his team played well in their first game, and tried to end it via mercy rules, however, the Glaciers managed to get back into it.

“We had an opportunity to mercy them and I wanted to end the game, but we let them back in and I didn’t want the momentum to start going there way.”

Taylor Blackburn had pitched most of the game, but Mrazek switched him out for Marra at the end of the

fifth inning.

“We brought Marra in to close things because he shut Eureka down the week before real hard,” Mrazek said. “[He] came in and was throwing gas, probably hitting 85, 86, so the first three guys couldn’t touch him.”

Despite the win, the Bandits came out flat in the rematch and lost 4-1.

“We had six hits, they had one, we made some errors, we lost 4-1,” said Mrazek.

“Never should’ve happened. We had six hits, they had one and we lose 4-1? We needed to tighten it up a bit in the field, they were a little

flat, and some kids were playing positions they weren’t used to.”

That puts their record at 7-9 this season, and Mrazek was hoping for a win in their second game to pull them up to a 0.500 record.

“We were 7-8 going into that game, so we’ve been playing well, that would’ve brought us to 0.500,” said Mrazek. “So a little disappointed, but you know what?

The Bandits haven’t been 6-8 for a long time.”

After Saturday’s action, the team returned home to Cranbrook and faced off against the senior men’s team for a pair of tuneup matches.

The men won both games at a score of 6-2 and 5-2.

Mrazek said the first game was reachable, however, the men’s team seemed to be dialled into the pitchers. “[It was] 3-2 for a while in the first game.

We went over this with our pitchers, setting up

the hitters, and where we’re going to miss, if we miss. Whenever they hit us hard today, it’s because we missed in the wrong spot,” said Mrazek.

“I want a breaking ball in the outside corner, and they pop a breaking ball in the

middle of the plate, and they jump on it.”

It will be a shorter week of practice for the Bandits, as they will return to Whitefish next weekend to participate in a tournament that will include teams from as far away as Edmonton.

CALGARY - A Calgary Flame stepping from the tunnel onto the Saddledome ice Saturday would have required scuba gear.

The Scotiabank Saddledome has been hit hard by the floods that ravaged parts of Southern Alberta.

The floodwaters reached the eighth row of seats in the lower bowl and submerged the Flames dressing room, team president Ken King said Saturday.

“That means if you were a hockey player walking from the tunnel onto the ice, you would be underwater yourself,” he said. “It’s very difficult to describe millions of gallons of water, sitting in that building.”

A contract signed by former Flames captain Jim Peplinski was among some portable memorabilia saved.

But everything else on the Saddledome event level - the nerve centre for games and concerts - was “a total loss,” King told reporters at a McMahon Stadium news conference.

The event level is the lowest floor in the building.

The ice plant, ice resurfacing machines, kitchens and Saddledome staff uniforms are examples of what was under water Saturday.

Blue Jays run win streak to 11 games Gregory Strong Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays didn’t hang their heads when they struggled at the start of the season.

The mood remained upbeat despite regular losses. The players knew they had the potential to turn things around and fulfil the high expectations.

Toronto took another big step in its attempt to get into contention in the American League East by completing a

three-game sweep of division rival Baltimore with a 13-5 rout of the Orioles on Sunday. The Blue Jays also tied a franchise high with their 11th straight win.

The streak has reinvigorated the team’s fanbase, the players are all smiles and the early-season woes seem like a distant memory.

“It was a battle early on, we all know that,” said Jays manager John Gibbons. “We always figured it was just a matter of time before we started

playing better. And (the slump) lasted longer than we expected but that’s all behind us now.

“We’re rolling along right now.”

Edwin Encarnacion and Colby Rasmus homered and veteran righthander Josh Johnson worked into the seventh inning for his first win of the season. Jose Bautista put the game out of reach with a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning to the delight of the sellout crowd of 45,214 on a hot, sunny

afternoon at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays (38-36) moved two games over the .500 mark and are now just five games behind first-place Boston.

Encarnacion drove in four runs and had three of Toronto’s 14 hits.

“I’ve been waiting for this since the season started,” he said. “I believe in this team. I knew that things had to change, that things had to become good for us.

So this is the way right now.

BOSTON - Patrick Kane already has one Stanley Cup-winning goal from 2010 along with the one that put the Chicago Blackhawks back into the finals this year.

“I think the stars would have to be aligned right for it to happen like that again,” Kane said Sunday, a day before the Blackhawks will take the ice in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final with a chance to win their second championship in four seasons.

“I think the biggest thing is trying to help contribute any way I can, help this team get a win, especially the situation we’re in,” said Kane, who scored the winner in Game 6 against Philadelphia in the ‘10 finals, and the one that eliminated the Los Angeles Kings in this year’s Western Conference finals. “I’ll do whatever I can to help the team win, and it would be a great feeling.”

The Blackhawks will take a 3-2 lead into Game 6 against the Boston Bru-

ins on Monday night, and Kane is a big reason why. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft had two goals in Chicago’s 3-1 victory in Game 5, giving him seven goals in his last seven games, including two winners.

“That’s the type of player he is,” Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. “When it comes down to the wire and tight games, big games, that’s when he wants the puck. That’s when he wants to score the goals, the big goals.

“It’s huge to have those kind of players in your team when you go far in the playoffs. And now when it’s really coming down to the wire here, (it) gives the whole group confidence that you have players like that. It’s not a coincidence that he has a lot of big goals so far in his career.”

Actually, Kane has a lot of small goals, too.

In addition to the nine times he’s scored in 22 playoff games this post-season, Kane led the Blackhawks in scor-

ing in the lockout-shortened regular season with 55 points in 48 games including 23 goals that tied for the team lead.

Chicago coach Joel Quenneville split Kane and Jonathan Toews at the start of the finals so that Bruins counterpart Claude Julien wouldn’t be able to match defenceman Zdeno Chara with both of the Blackhawks’ top forwards. But they responded with no goals in the first three games, and Quenneville put them back together for Game 4.

Since then, they have combined for four goals and seven points. Kane’s 19 points in the playoffs lead Chicago and are second in the NHL; he also led the Blackhawks with eight points in the six-game victory over Philadelphia in the 2010 finals.

“It’s like we always say: I don’t care who scores for us; I don’t care who’s on the ice for them,” Quenneville said.

“We expect somebody has got to score for us, and we’re not choosy in that department.”

For Better or Worse

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Understanding evolves to a new level if you can step back and remain uninvolved. You might be confused, as someone close to you could be sending you mixed messages. Try reiterating what you are hearing. You might not have all the answers. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to understand exactly what is motivating you and causing so much change.

Realize what is needed in order for you to change direction.

Honor a possibility that comes from a new connection. Be direct in your dealings. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be tired of encountering complications, yet you’re full of energy. This is a dangerous combination, because if you do not manage your frustration and find a solution, you could become volatile. It is important to express your feelings. Tonight: Reach out to a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are more in control than it appears, as chaos swirls around

you. Continue on your chosen path, and be sure to jump over any obstacles in your way. Communication might be needed, but it could be difficult at the moment. Tonight: All smiles -the day has ended!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to find out what is motivating others. If you feel confused by what is happening, know that you are not alone.

Be careful with your funds and loved ones. What they feel they are offering might not be all that valuable to you. Tonight: Togetherness works.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are sure of what you want and where you are going. Distraction will be your middle name, if you’re not careful. Misunderstanding might happen out of the blue, so try to confirm what you are hearing. Reach out to a close friend for feedback.

Tonight: Do only what you must.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I both work 18-hour days at a hospital. When we get home, we are exhausted. Since our schedules are irregular, however, our siblings seem to think it means we are always available for free babysitting.

My husband’s sister (a stay-at-home mom) is forever dropping off her toddler, saying she needs to “de-stress.” She never calls ahead. We’ve tried locking the door, but she has a key. My brother has dropped off his young sons multiple times without warning and with no indication of when he’d be back. He stopped when I told him I was going to start charging him $12.50 an hour.

The last straw was when my oldest brother’s wife arrived one weekend in a van with seven little girls and stated that these kids were staying overnight with us because she and her girlfriend were going to a spa. I was just getting off a 24-hour shift, and I told her politely that since she hadn’t checked with me beforehand, she’d have to make other arrangements because I was too exhausted to care for her girls and those of her friend.

She became angry and told my nieces that I don’t love them. Her girlfriend, whom I had never met, screamed at me from the passenger window. After they left, I got nasty phone calls from my brother and parents.

The friend sent me an itemized bill and asked that I reimburse her for the spa trip they missed.

Instead of responding, my husband and I sent our family members an email outlining that we love them and our nieces and nephews, but we would no longer be available for babysitting unless it was an emergency.

We apologized for being rude or for causing them any trouble. The email was much kinder and more polite than they deserved, but we hoped it would allow us to start over.

It was not received well. Currently, the only person speaking to us is my father-inlaw. We considered moving in order to have boundaries, but I resent being forced out of a house I love. I miss my family. What can we do? -- Not the Nanny Dear Nanny: What colossal nerve. It seems that those who take the most advantage are the same ones who are most aggrieved when they don’t get their way.

You are related to a bunch of bullies. You don’t owe the girlfriend any money, and you don’t owe your family members an apology. You have outlined your parameters, and they prefer to throw tantrums in an effort to manipulate you. If you want a relationship, fine. Continue to stay in touch. Perhaps they will come around in time, but don’t expect much. And change your locks.

Dear Annie: My wife and I received many gift cards to restaurants as wedding presents last year. We haven’t used them because we are concerned about etiquette.

When we use one of the cards, do we need to invite the person who gave us the card to join us at the restaurant? If so, do we need to cover the cost of their meal? We don’t want to be rude. -- Still Newlyweds Dear Newlyweds: You do not need to invite the gift-giver to join you at the restaurant. You wouldn’t invite the gift-giver to join you every time you use a place setting or your new mixer, would you? The gift cards are the same. We do recommend, however, that you check to be certain the cards haven’t expired.

Dear Annie: Here is a suggestion for “Suggestions Appreciated,” who doesn’t want guests bringing snow into her house.

I have had repair people work in my home, and they brought along paper “booties” that cover their shoes. These are better than slippers. They keep your floors clean and allow you to avoid embarrassing guests by asking them to remove their shoes. -- Hope This Helps Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Seven challengers for B.C. premier in Westside-Kelowna byelection race C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — There are seven candidates challenging B.C. Premier Christy Clark in the July 10 byelection in Westside-Kelowna.

Nominations closed at 1 p.m. on Saturday,

and Clark will be joined on the ballot by candidates for the NDP, the B.C. Vision party, the B.C. Conservative party and four independents.

The seat was vacated

by Liberal Ben Stewart to allow Clark to run in

a safe riding after she led her party to an unexpected victory in the May 14 election, but failed to win her own seat of Vancouver-Point Grey.

Clark will be up against New Democrat

Carole Gordon, an elementary school teacher who lost to Stewart in May. The Liberals won 49 of 85 seats in May, while the New Democrats won 34, the B.C. Greens, one, and one Indepen-

dent.

Advance polls run from July 3 to July 6, although voters can cast ballots at any time between now and the byelection at the local electoral district office

Was he cheating?

Dear Wendy: I have written to you several times and I was quite surprised how you could answer most of my questions correctly. I need your help again and it’s about my daughter. She was going to marry her fiancé of two years in July but she cancelled the wedding. She found out that her fiancé was cheating on her. I told her that perhaps the information that was given to her was incorrect but she is upset and not listening to me.

She will not take any of his phone calls and he is also upset. I talked to him yesterday and he denies having any relationships with any women since they have been together.

I believe he is telling me the truth. I was wondering if you could tell me if my daughter is making a mistake in cancelling her wedding? Do you think her fiancé cheated on her?

Will she ever recover from this heartache she is going through?

Frantic Mom Dear Frantic Mom: I want to thank you for the names you have given us; this will help us answer your questions about your daughter.

I asked my guides several times if your daughter’s fiancé cheated on her with other women and the answer kept coming up a definite yes. We feel she made the right decision. I also asked if the person who told your daughter was lying to her about her fiancé and the answer was a definite no.

We feel it will take a good year and a bit for your daughter to get over this hurtful situation in her life. I also seen very clearly the man that she will be with and he has dark hair and is a good man.

Therefore, take a deep breath mom and relax.

It took a lot of courage for your daughter to stand up for herself and stop the wedding. I think she is a strong and emotionally healthy girl and knows that she deserves better than to have a husband that is a cheater.

Unfortunately, I also asked my guides if she had any suspicions

ASK WENDY Wendy Evano

about her fiancé in the past and the answer was a yes. I hope this information helps you to help her at this time.

Wendy

Dear Wendy: I graduated from school this year and I have decided to work for a year before attending University. I am giving you the names of the Universities I want to go to and I was wondering if you could tell me what you feel would be the best one?

I was also wondering if I will be living in the same town as my boyfriend this year. We have had a long distance relationship since 2011. He is in his second year of University and I want to be with him. My mom says I should wait and see if I can get a job in my hometown.

Feeling Torn

Dear Feeling Torn: I can’t tell you if you should wait and get a job in your hometown.

I can tell you that we see you living with your boyfriend in the fall of 2013. We also did a spec on your boyfriend and found that he is a nice man. He does get a bit moody at times but that’s because he tries to be a perfectionist in his studies and that causes him much anxiety. However, you are good for him because you are more relaxed and couldn’t care less about being perfect.

I think he suffers a bit from low self-esteem but from what we asked about him he is an honest, loyal man and cares for you a great deal.

When you emailed me you gave us the names of the Universities and the third University was the one that appealed to my guides the most. I hope this information helps you.

Wendy

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
