Some backroad bridges unsafe, report finds Forest Practices Board says Rocky Mountain Forest District has worst safety compliance for bridges SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Construction: Special Investigation, was released in March 2014. Teams examined bridges throughout B.C. last summer and found that the Rocky Mountain District’s bridges have the worst record for both safety and environmental compliance.
An investigation by B.C.’s Forest Practices Board has found that 23 per cent of forestry road bridges in the Rocky Mountain District have safety issues. The damning report by the Forest Practices Board, titled Bridge Planning, Design and See RAINSTORM , Page 5

Let the growing season begin SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Cranbrook’s community garden will be more bountiful than ever this year as community members will begin planning out planting this week. The Public Produce Garden, located in Mackinnon Park between Save-On Foods and Hot Shots Cafe, was created in 2012 as a place for the community to grow produce and harvest what they need
without restrictions. Each season, the garden has grown larger and more bountiful, and on Tuesday the community will start planning out how the garden will be planted this year. “We’re hoping to get feedback from as many participants and community members as possible,” said Shannon Grey Duncan, Cranbrook Food Action Committee coordinator.

Toastmasters gears up for Division C contest Submit ted
Each spring Toastmasters holds a series of speaking contests that permit club members to hone their public speaking skills. The competitors start at the club level and present a speech that meets the criteria of an International Speech which is to inspire or call to action. The other contest that happens at the same time is the Evaluation contest. Everything in Toastmasters is evaluated and that is what makes the program successful. Evaluations are done constructively and the speaker is given points that are well done, a point to grow on or improve and then another point well done. After the club contest the contestants go on to the Area Contest. Area 36 covers Golden, Sparwood, Creston and Cranbrook clubs and most recently there was a contest held in Creston to see who would move forward to the Division C contest in April and
then on to the District 21 Contest in May. Judges were able to select two winners per section to go on to the Division C contest and those winners are: David Farrell and Barb West for the Evaluation Contest; Melanie Holloway and Richard Chlopecki for the International Speech Contest. The Division C contest will be held Saturday, April 12 at the College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre starting at 1 p.m. Come out and see if you can select the winner from clubs representing Kamloops, Vernon, and other interior clubs as well as the representatives from Area 36. The winners of the Division Contest will go on to Kelowna in May for the District 21 contest where the winner of the International Speech Contest can win the opportunity to go on to the Regional contest and from there on to Kuala Lumpur to compete at the International conference being held in Malaysia in August.

Federal grant helps city build accessible washroom Submit ted
Canadians with disabilities will gain better access to programs and services in their community, announced David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay Columbia, on behalf of the Honourable Candice Bergen, Minister of State (Social Development). The City of Cranbrook is receiving $20,096 from the Enabling Accessibility Fund to improve accessibility for Canadians with disabilities. Since its launch in
2007, the Government of Canada has funded over 1,100 projects, helping thousands of Canadians gain better access to their communities’ facilities, programs and services. Through Economic Action Plan 2013, the Government extended the Enabling Accessibility Fund on an ongoing basis at $15 million per year to improve accessibility in facilities across Canada, including workplaces. Economic Action Plan 2013 strengthens federal programs for Ca-
nadians with disabilities to help them get the skills and training they need to prepare for and find work. Beginning in 2015–16, more Canadians with disabilities will receive training for in-demand jobs through ongoing support from the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. “The Government of Canada is creating opportunities for Canadians with disabilities through support from the City of Cranbrook project. Thanks to organizations like yours who
care about accessibility, we are eliminating barriers and we’re helping to bring workers, employers and communities together,” said Wilks. “This money will help to create a wheelchair accessible washroom available at Cranbrook City Hall for those with mobility issues,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “It is a continuation of our commitment to make Cranbrook a better place for all of our citizens and I very much appreciate MP Wilks’ support for our intiatives.
Cranbrook visitor centres help drive local economy wide exposure that Cranbrook receives throughout western Canada and the north-western United States via tourism publications, the work of the visitor centre volunteers, and through the extensive travels of the Sweethearts of Sam Steele and the Cranbrook float. “We truly appreciate the fact that Cranbrook’s City Council has confirmed-through its recent Five Year Financial Plan-that we will again provide these services to the community in 2014,” said Butler. “Our staff and volunteers look forward to another great year.” The 2013 Annual Report on the Fee for Visitor Services Contract is available on the Cham-

OTTAWA — Busy Canadian border guards are giving many shoppers a pass on paying taxes and duties when they return from the United States, says an internal government document. The briefing note for Prime Minister Stephen Harper lends credence to one of the Canadian retail industry’s biggest complaints. The note says the guards don’t bother charging for lower-value goods, and sometimes are too busy to collect taxes and duties on higher-value items as well.
The document was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. A spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency acknowledges that managers at busy border points sometimes have to adjust priorities, between revenue collection and catching forbidden imports or illegal visitors. Cross-border shopping has risen as the Canadian dollar hit par with its U.S. counterpart, but economists say the recent fall in value will dampen the number of bargain-hunters heading stateside.

Blue Lake Centre unveils new look Submit ted
Best known as an outdoor education centre, Blue Lake Centre revealed its redesigned logo and website today. The new branding reflects recent upgrades at the facility, allowing for more varied and yearround use. Located 40 minutes south of Fairmont Hot Springs and 90 minutes north of Cranbrook, Blue Lake Centre has been a top destination for environmental education programming for over 35 years. In 2011, the facility received funding through the Western Diversification Community Adjustment Fund allowing Blue Lake to complete a $1.2 million facility upgrade. The transformation included replacement of the sleeping cabins and wash house, upgrades to the dining hall and commercial kitchen, and the construction of a new luxury backcountry lodge with 1,000 square foot training centre. A rebranding process, including a new logo, was completed by Genex Marketing and included focus groups and community consul-
tation. Outdoor education remains the focus of the Blue Lake Society; the expansion and upgrades have provided new revenue channels to generate funds in support of the programming offered at the Centre. “The facility upgrades have allowed for increased capacity for outdoor education programs and private rentals, including weekend getaways, corporate retreats, weddings and family reunions. The upgrades provide guests with year-round opportunities to visit Blue Lake Centre and to reconnect with nature and each other,” Executive Director Kelly Diamond said. A grand reopening celebration is planned for Saturday, May 3 at Blue Lake Centre. This free event will include site tours, sample environmental programming, food, musical entertainment, and an opportunity to use recreational trails and canoes. Accommodation packages are available if pre booked. “This is the perfect opportunity to come out and see what everyone has been talking about,” Diamond said. “It is a

celebration of the past, present, and future of Blue Lake Centre.” Blue Lake Centre was established by the BC Forestry Association (BCFA) in 1977 as one of six Junior Forest Warden training facilities in B.C., offering forest education programs for youth. The BCFA sold the camp in 1995 to the Blue Lake steering committee, which then became a registered non-profit charity know today as the Blue Lake Forest Education Society. Since taking ownership, the Society has continued to develop and provide environmental education programming for children and youth from all
over B.C., southwestern Alberta and abroad. Blue Lake’s programming focuses on local environmental issues and sustainability practices related to forests, water, biodiversity and alternative energy. Outdoor education programs include spring school programs, summer camp for ages 7-13, and outdoor youth leadership programs for ages 14-17.

could be put into the ground already and on Tuesday we’ll talk about what our first steps should be. Should we rototill to turn the garden over or try other methods to prepare the beds for planting?
“We will be adding sand to the big annual bed first thing to increase drainage and loosen soil that has become compressed, as was decided at the end of last season. “We could put in some cold-hardy seeds, such as spinach or asian greens, on Tuesday. “The perennials planted last year will start budding as soon as the weather warms up and it will be exciting to see them burst to life after a winter’s dormancy.” Tuesday will also be an opportunity to unveil the attractive new pergola installed in the garden late last year. Mayor Wayne Stetski will cut a ribbon on the donated pergola, officially opening the growing season. “The pergola is a timberframe structure that was locally constructed in the fall of 2013 by Shelter Timberframe
and Design. It was paid for by a grant from the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. It will make the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden more accessible to all ages, particularly seniors, offering some respite from the sun in the summer,” said Grey Duncan. Work around the pergola will continue this year. “Benches will be constructed this spring, and vegetation planted to climb up and over the pergola, offering a pleasant place to relax and gather with fellow gardeners. In addition to the pergola, a compressed gravel walkway was put in place from the front gate leading to the pergola. This makes it more accessible for people needing more stable footing. This year we hope to edge that walkway in an attractive way and alter the curb in front of the gate to make it truly wheelchair accessible.” If you can’t make the event on Tuesday, stay tuned for date of further planning sessions in the garden. “We will be promoting several other planning sessions at a variety of times to try and collect as much feedback as possible and that will determine what the collective priorities are and what we’re eating out of the garden this year!” said Grey Duncan.

Rainstorm last spring partially to blame for bridge conditions Continued from page 1 “This report is a wake-up call to those who are not complying with the law or the professional practice guidelines,” reads the report. “Due to the potentially significant consequences, there are no corners to cut when it comes to bridge design, planning and construction. “The public and the government expect and deserve high safety, environmental and professional standards, but those standards are not currently being met.” Over the course of summer and fall 2013, teams of a professional forester and a professional engineer visited 216 bridges built on resource roads since January 2010 in the Rocky Mountain Forest District, the Cariboo Chicotin Forest District, the Chilliwack Forest District, the Okanagan Shuswap Forest District, and the Vanderhoof Forest District. “The Board set out to determine if new bridges are safe for industrial use and if forest resources such as water, soil and fish are being protected,” reads the report. The bridges were built by either B.C. Timber Sales, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, a major licensee on the resource road, or a small-scale licensee. “Nineteen bridges were obviously unsafe and investigators had serious safety concerns with a further 13 bridges.

The Board expects these licensees to be diligent and ensure these known bridge deficiencies are corrected prior to any further industrial use, as required by legislation.” In B.C., bridge planning, design and construction on resource roads are governed by legislation and overseen, in most cases, by professional engineers and professional foresters. The investigation focused on compliance with 13 requirements, split into three categories: planning, environment and safety. Within the Rocky Mountain Forest District, the investigators examined 56 bridges on forestry roads. In the environmental category, only 77 per cent of those 56 bridges
were compliant on environmental requirements. • 68 per cent maintained natural surface drainage. • 70 per cent protected banks and channel. • 77 per cent controlled sediment. • 95 per cent maintained fish passage. However the report said that the June 2013 rainfall event that caused $5.5 million worth of damage to East Kootenay forest roads is partially responsible for this record. More than 30 bridges needed to be repaired after the storm. “The Rocky Mountain district showed below average results, which may be partially explained by the extreme rain event of June 20, 2013.” Meanwhile, in the safety category, 77 per cent of bridges in the Rocky Mountain Forest District were compliant. • 71 per cent were safe and sound.
Forest Practices Board
• 77 per cent had no abutment erosion. • 84 per cent had adequate clearance. • 77 per cent had safe approaches and alignment. “The Rocky Mountain and Chilliwack districts showed below average performance with respect to safety issues,” states the report. “Certainly, the June 20, 2013 storm event in the Kootenays contributed to eroded abutments and foundation failures, but that was not the only safety issue. “Some bridges are being classified as temporary by builders and designed and built to a lower standard, which is not permitted by the legislation.” The report does not state where the unsafe bridges are located. Across the province, the Forest Practices Board found that of the 216 bridges: • there were incomplete plans for 40 per

The issue is not that the legislation and guidance are lacking, but that a significant number of professionals are not following them. “The professional practice guidelines give flexibility to builders in exchange for properly planning and constructing bridges. “When these requirements are not followed, public confidence and trust in professionals is eroded, much like poorly protected abutments.” As a result of the investigation, the Forest Practices Board is asking professional associations for forestry and engineering to advise of steps it is taking to address the concerns before October 31, 2014.

countries were in NATO by 2004 – together with three other countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, that had actually been part of the Soviet Union itself. To Russian eyes, what has been happening in Ukraine is more of the same. If Putin believes that, then he thinks he is already in a new Cold War, and he might as well go ahead and improve his position for the coming struggle as much as possible. Specifically, he should grab as much of Ukraine as he can, because otherwise the western part will be turned into a NATO base to be used against him. Crimea is irrelevant in this context: the Russian naval bases there are nostalgic relics from another era, of no real strategic value in the 21st century. What Putin does need, if another Cold War is coming, is control of the parts of Ukraine where Russian speakers are a majority or nearly so: not just the east, but also the Black Sea coast. But he shouldn’t occupy western Ukraine, because he would face a prolonged guerilla war if he did. My money says that Putin will stop with Crimea, because he’s not THAT paranoid, and because he understands how weak Russia is economically and how quickly it would lose a new Cold War. He has already saved his face; why run further risks? But I have been wrong in the past, once or twice. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London.

Opinion/features
Re: William Hills letter, March 17, 2014. Hello Mr. Hills – I appreciate the opportunity to clarify some misconceptions. Total cost for the fire hall fountain was $38,623-about two-thirds of that staff wages-using money from the renovation of Firehall No. 2. It is designed as a Maltese Cross, symbolic to firefighters everywhere. The Elizabeth Lake Welcome to Cranbrook sign cost $49,115, and we have received many positive comments. Total cost of the day-use area improvements is $210,511, including $35,000 from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and $57,000 from Columbia Basin Trust. Asphalting the road into the wastewater pumphouse building cost $143,083. It was not an approved priority. UBCM brings together municipal elected officials from around B.C. annually to find solutions to common issues, to meet one-on-one with provincial cabinet ministers, and to vote on resolutions that go to the federal and provincial governments to make our municipalities better places to live. Cranbrook City Council is not attending the FCM conference in Niagara Falls. Cranbrook was chosen by the province of B.C. in 2009 to
be part of the Asia Pacific Initiative to work on building friendly city relationships with China and South Korea. $59,000 was provided by provincial and federal grants. In 2013 a major import export company from Taicang, China, brought their executives to Cranbrook to look at buying local lumber. The College of the Rockies is pursuing relationships with universities in both cities. The province is introducing legislation to change municipal government elections to four-year terms based on a vote at last fall’s UBCM. It saves money. The average cost to Cranbrook’s citizens for each of the last two municipal elections was $23,161, not counting referendums. If elections were to take place annually as you suggest it would cost taxpayers a minimum of $277,932 for the twelve years. Municipal leaders who voted against four-year terms were concerned that it would discourage people from running for office. All elected officials sacrifice time away from family, friendships and businesses. You have to care about your community and public service to be on city councils. Municipalities need more options with urban deer. We currently use education, bylaws, fencing, deer resistant plants and culls. Transloca-
tions (mass translocations of mule deer and white-tailed deer have never been tried in British Columbia), hazing with dogs (Kimberley was given a one-day permit to try this last year and considered it promising) and drugs that could render does infertile should be tried in partnership with the province who “own” the deer. The Wildlife Act should be changed to make it easier for municipalities to deal with urban wildlife. We are committed to making our city a better place and have undertaken a number of initiatives to improve our city for businesses, for youth and seniors, for people with disabilities, for multi-culturalism, for the arts, and for the environment. I encourage everyone to come to a Brown Bag Meeting, Coffee with the Mayor, or a Council meeting. Get the facts and get personally involved-consider running in this fall’s municipal election or volunteering for a city committee. You’ll find it’s an interesting journey!

Cops For Cancer Our daughter Paige was three when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Wilms Tumour. Cancer. When we found out,
my only wish was to change places with Paige and allow her a childhood shielded from the realities of surgeries, chemo, radiation and countless pokes from needles. Her treatment took us from Saskatoon to Ottawa to Penticton to Vancouver. Fifteen years later, she is poised to graduate from high school and begin the next chapter of her life in university, albeit with the physical and emotional scars of someone that has truly been to battle. The depth of thanks we have for the care and support we have experienced over the years is immeasurable. I’m doing what I can to express my gratitude by ‘paying it forward’ on July 13. I’ve signed up for Team Cops for Cancer, a team of emergency services personnel who are riding in the Gran Fondo Axel Merckx Okanagan in an effort to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. If you work in emergency services, or know someone who does, please tell them about Team Cops for Cancer and encourage them to register to ride with us. Together, we can make a difference and I need your help. Registration deadline is April 7, 2014. Cpl. Brian Burke Penticton RCMP
Literature seeps into television series HBO’s ‘True Detective’ has one writer, one director, and a whole lot of literary references. Its eight-part run saw two Louisiana detectives spend 17 years trying to solve a series of murders, in some of the most haunting landscapes ever filmed. The only clue the detectives have to go on is that the killer is known as “The Yellow King,” and that he comes from the unmapped town of Carcosa. In 1895, the New York artist Robert W. Chambers published a collection of stories called ‘The King in Yellow.’ Each story is weirder and creepier than the one before it, yet all revolve around a mythical book titled ‘The Yellow King’—one which causes whoever reads it to go insane. Several stories also feature a supernatural demon known as the King in Yellow, along with the frequent appearance of a yellow sign. The Yellow King shows up again in ‘The Whisperer and the Darkness,’ a short story by H.P. Lovecraft, published in a 1930 edition of ‘Weird Tales.’ For this tale Lovecraft has renamed the king Hastur, but still has him associated with the yellow sign. He also happens to mention that Hastur hails from Carcosa. As he had borrowed the Yellow King from Chambers, Lovecraft had also borrowed the name of Carcosa. Ambrose
Bierce had created the mysterious Carcosa 40 years earlier in his 1891 story ‘Can Such Things Be?’ In the second episode of ‘True Detective,’ the diary of a murdered prostitute is found. Leafing through its pages, one of the detective reads, “I closed my eyes and saw the King in Yellow moving through the forest.” What can be made by all these literary allusions? Without spoiling the show’s conclusion, reading these stories will not help MIKE’S BOOKNOTES reveal who or even where the killer is. But these ongoMike ing references to the literSelby ary weird shifted ‘True Detective’ from a typical police program to one unlike any other show to air of television. And the nod to books doesn’t stop here. Of the show’s two detectives, one frequently speaks in nihilistic terms and phrases. While his partner thinks they are the inane ramblings of a burnt-out cop, they are actually quotes from Thomas Ligotti’s ‘The Conspiracy Against the Human Race,’ and E.M. Cioran’s ‘The Temptation to Exist.’ The show also makes much of Nietzche’s theory of eternal recurrence, found in his work ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra.’ Nihilism is also present in Karl Wagner’s 1974 short story ‘Sticks,’ which features an underground cult trying to summon evil spirits by creating small stick

HBO’s True Detective has Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey, and a whole lot of literary references. structures. These stick structures uncannily appear in every episode of ‘True Detective.’ The show’s only writer Nic Pizzolatto has told interviewers that Wagner’s story has been a big influence on the entire show. Pizzolatto has also borrowed from his own work. His novels ‘Galveston’ and ‘Between Here and the Yellow Sea’ have many of the same unsettling and weird themes found in ‘True Detective.’ So if you like you cop shows top heavy with weird 19th century occult literary references and dreary existential philosophy expounding characters, ‘True Detective’ is all this and more.

Hitmen even up series with 5-0 win over Ice TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
After being embarrassed in their home barn by the Kootenay Ice, the Calgary Hitmen came out on top of a 5-0 decision on Saturday night to even up their playoff series at one game apiece. Hitmen rookie Landon Welykholowa scored twice, while Alex Roach, Adam Tambellini and Brady Brassart also found the back of the net for Calgary.
“We knew they were going to raise their intensity level yesterday [Saturday] and we didn’t, so that was the outcome. At the end of the day, a split in that building is pretty good, though.” Jay Henderson Mackenzie Skapski made 27 stops for the Ice, while Chris Driedger turned away 35 shots from Kootenay, which outshot Calgary in the second and third periods.
Though Kootenay had the edge on the shot clock, the team just didn’t quite get the looks they wanted on the Hitmen goaltender. “Ultimately, we didn’t get as many shots as we would’ve liked. A lot of perimeter plays as well,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. “But there times where their goaltender made some good saves for them and frustrated our players a bit, so at the end of the day in playoffs, it doesn’t matter if you lose 1-0 or 5-0—it’s still a loss.” After Kootenay came away with a decisive 5-2 win in Game One on Thursday, the Ice knew the Hitmen were going to come out with more fire in the subsequent rematch. “Obviously, we needed to get one win in their building, no matter what. I thought the first game, we played really well, we were disciplined and capitalized on our powerplays,” said Henderson. “We knew they were going to raise their intensity level yesterday [Saturday] and we didn’t, so that was the outcome.

Calgary Hitmen goaltender Chris Driedger makes a save on Kootenay Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk during Game Two at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night. “At the end of the day, a split in that building is pretty good, though.” Just like in Game One, the Hitmen started with some jump and took an early lead 6:29 into the game when Welyholowa took a rebound off the end boards and roofed it. Less than two minutes into the second period, Brassart dropped the puck for Roach in Kootenay territory, and his shot beat Skapski for a 2-0 Calgary lead. Kootenay looked like they scored, but the play had been whistled dead as Brassart shoved Ice forward Jon Martin into the goal knocking it off the pegs.

Kootenay also had some blue chip scoring chances from Jaedon Descheneau and Zach Franko, but Driedger stood tall to make some big saves for Calgary. Skapski also had to make a big save on Brassart, who was given a penalty shot—the second in as many games— after being hooked on a breakaway. However, Calgary capitalized again late in the frame, with Tambellini muscling his way to the net and shovelling the puck across the line. Brassart scored a powerplay goal in the third period, and was ejected from the game when got into it with Austin Vetterl after
chirping the Ice bench during his goal celebration. “They’re a physical team and we try to match them in the physical play,” said Vetterl. “If they’re going to get undisciplined, we’re going to make them pay on the powerplay. “We can’t get into that kind of stuff; I don’t think we’re that type of team, but we got to stay disciplined as we have been throughout the whole season.” Welykholowa got his second of the night, banging in a feed from Chase Lang, who passed the puck from behind the Kootenay net in the final minute of the game.
Landon Peel made a return to the Ice lineup on Saturday, and Zach McPhee didn’t seem to miss a beat after taking a cross-check to the head on Thursday. Henderson added that the defensive corps was helpful, especially since it’s a little shortstaffed with injuries to Tyler King and Landon Cross. “At the end of the day, playoffs are like that and you have to battle through some stuff, no question,” said Henderson. Heading into Monday’s game, Vetterl feels like there isn’t much to change in their approach towards their opponents.
“I don’t think we have to change the game plan too much,” Vetterl said. “Obviously, there’s tinkering you make between games. I think we just have to control the puck and we have to string a couple passes together, move the puck up the ice, and get it behind their D-men.” NOTES: Hitmen players Linden Penner and Joe Mahon both served suspensions following their actions in Game One. Penner was given a TBD for his cross-check to Zach McPhee, which was a five-minute major penalty, while Mahon served one game after a late-game scrum.
Kassian sparks Canucks to 4-2 win over Sabres C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER - Zack Kassian recorded four assists as the Vancouver Canucks rallied to beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 in NHL action Sunday night. The Canucks (33-30-10) have now posted two consecutive wins for the first time since mid-January. Vancouver pulled within three
points of eighth-place Phoenix, and one point of ninth-place Dallas in the race for the second wildcard playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Sabres (20-43-8), last in the NHL by a wide margin, suffered their eighth loss in the past 10 games as they squandered an early 2-0 lead.
Brad Richardson, Shawn Matthias, Yannick Weber, David Booth scored for the Canucks. Tyler Ennis and Jamie McBain provided the offence for Buffalo. Former Ice goaltender Nathan Lieuwen, in just his second NHL career start, took the loss with 32 saves as his club was outshot 3618.

Homan rink wins silver at world championship Thompson edges Donna Spencer Canadian Press
SAINT JOHN, N.B. - Switzerland’s Binia Feltscher claimed the Ford Women’s World Curling Championship with a 9-5 win over Canada’s Rachel Homan on Sunday. It’s the second women’s world title for Switzerland in three years. “I can’t speak,” Feltscher said. “I don’t know, maybe I can say something tomorrow. Today I have no words. No words.” Feltscher’s victory follows Mirjam Ott’s win in Lethbridge, Alta., in 2012. Feltscher won an Olympic silver medal in 2006 playing third for Ott. Canada led 5-3 after seven ends, but a devastating eighth cost Homan. The Swiss scored three points on Canadian mistakes and Homan couldn’t recover. More errors in the ninth forced Homan into a low percentage angle raise double takeout with her final throw. The Canadian skip missed and gave up a steal of three at Harbour Station. It was a deflating end for Homan, third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk and lead Lisa Weagle because their record was 11-1 going into the final. “We’re obviously disappointed, but we still won a silver medal,” Homan said. “The crowd did an unbelievable job today. We’ll be back for more.” Homan missed her last shot of the semifinal in Riga, Latvia, last year. She gave up a steal and the win to eventual champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland.

Rachel Homan and her Ottawa-based rink took silver after falling 9-5 to Switzerland at the women’s world curling championship. pectations into Saint John. Their talent and big-game experience, plus the absence of defending Muirhead who won bronze at the Olympics made the title achievable for the Canadians. The Ottawa Curling Club foursome went undefeated to win their second Canadian women’s championship in Montreal. They were the top playoff seed in Saint John after posting a 10-1 record in the preliminary round. Their one hiccup was a lopsided loss to Switzerland on Day 2 of competition. With raise and runback takeouts, they drained the Swiss offence to win Friday’s
playoff game between the top two seeds and book their berths in the championship game. Feltscher has skipped her country at worlds before, but never finished in the medals. Her teammates Irene Schori, Franziska Kaufmann and Christine Urech were making their world championship debuts. They felt little pressure going into Sunday’s rematch. Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones went undefeated in Sochi to claim Olympic women’s curling gold last month, but a Canadian team hasn’t won a world title since Jones in 2008 in Vernon, B.C. Homan and Miskew led in shooting percentages at their position prior to the final, but shot 61 and 63 per cent, respectively Sunday. The future of Homan’s team in Canadian curling remains bright if uncertain over the long term. Weagle, who turns 29 on Monday, is getting married in July. Her teammates are all 25 or under and in the early stages of their careers after earning their university degrees. The South Koreans, Chinese and Russians are full-time, paid athletes. The federations focus on a chosen few because those countries don’t have Canada’s depth. Canada determines its international representatives via the natural selection of regional, provincial and national playdowns. Qualifying for Canada’s 2017 trials requires travelling to World Curling Tour events across Canada throughout the winter to earn ranking points.
Team owners looking at NFL rule changes Barry Wilner Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. - As further proof the NFL never is far from the headlines, owners could make plenty of news this week at their spring meetings. They will consider 13 playing rules proposals and seven bylaws. They will discuss expanding the playoff field from 12 to 14 teams, although a vote on such a move is uncertain. Some changes would seem to be slam dunks: extending the height of the goal posts 5 feet to help determine if kicks are good; eliminating overtime in preseason games; placing fixed TV cameras on the goal lines, end lines and sidelines to help with replay reviews. Others seem almost sidebars to the real action, such as from where to enforce defensive penalties when they occur behind the line of scrimmage,
or extending pass interference calls to within a yard of the line. Perhaps the juiciest suggestions came from the Patriots. They want to move the line of scrimmage to the 25 for extra points, and to allow coaches to challenge any calls except on scoring plays, which are automatically reviewed. Passing those proposals would make for a major change in how NFL games are played. “We discussed a lot of different scenarios that have been raised,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher, co-chairman of the influential competition committee, said of longer extra-point kicks. “I will point out ... last year we had five tries missed (out of 1,267). I think four were blocked, one was missed. It’s still a competitive play. “We are going to propose ...
to the membership during one of the preseason weeks that we move the extra point back to the 20-yard line and see how that goes. It’s on our radar.” New England’s idea on coaches’ challenges in some ways echoes college football, in which every play can be reviewed. Falcons President Rich McKay, the other co-chairman of the competition committee, said reviews or challenges on defensive pass interference calls have been considered before. Washington has proposed making personal foul penalties reviewable. How replay reviews are conducted overall will be discussed after the committee has proposed allowing the referee to consult with members of the NFL officiating department. The process won’t change, but the command
centre in New York headed by director of officiating Dean Blandino will already be reviewing the play when the referee gets to the replay monitor. “At the end of the day, what’s going to happen is we’re going to make sure that every single review is correct and we feel like this will speed up the instant replay process and timing,” Fisher said. The Redskins want kickoffs moved to the 40 yard-line for “safety and historic consistency,” although doing so might totally eliminate returns. But some coaches hint it could lead to more pooch kicks, which wouldn’t make the kickoff any safer. Another suggestion is to eliminate stopping the clock on a sack. That no longer is done in the final two minutes of each half, and if passed it will be totally eliminated.
Smith to win gold and Crystal Globe C anadian Press
LA PLAGNE, France - Canadian skicross star Marielle Thompson capped her dream season in style Sunday by winning her second career Crystal Globe. Thompson, who won Olympic gold last month at the Sochi Games, edged Fanny Smith of Switzerland to win the final World Cup of the season and the overall title. “Once I was in the gate I was in my zone and comfortable,” Thompson said on a conference call. “I just focused on what I needed to do. I think that’s the way to do it.” The Canadian entered the competition with a slim five-point lead on Smith in the World Cup overall standings. Thompson fell behind her main rival in the final before executing a dramatic pass to move in front to stay. “I knew that everything came down to that last run down the course so it was pretty intense, especially being behind out of the gate and having to make that pass,” Thompson said. “It was probably one of the most exciting moments for me in a long while on the skicross course. “It was really great for me to make that pass. It’s not very fun skiing behind people. I like skiing in front.” Smith settled for silver and Georgia Simmerling of West Vancouver, B.C., won bronze. Calgary’s Brady Leman won bronze in the men’s race. Jean Frederic Chapuis of France won gold and Austria’s Christoph
Wahrstoetter took the silver. “I think I made more finals than any other guy this year,” Leman said. “They didn’t really go my way and I didn’t have my best skiing when I made it to the medal rounds and when it really counts. I know I’m there and I know I’ve been super-competitive every week this year which is good because that’s something that I’ve struggled with in the past. “But you always want more so I know what I’ve got to focus on this summer at least anyway.” Leman reached the final at the Olympics but just missed the podium with a fourth-place finish. Thompson led a 1-2 Canadian finish in the women’s final at Sochi with teammate Kelsey Serwa. “The main goal this year was the Olympics and once I realized that goal I had to refocus and think about the Globe,” said Thompson. “In the final (Sunday) I needed to be patient. I waited for the right moment (to pass) and it happened to be near the end. “I nailed the big super-G turn and I was able to move past her.” Thompson, from Whistler, B.C., became the first Canadian to win a skicross Crystal Globe in 2012. The 21-year-old won this season’s overall title with 755 points. “I’m just really happy that I could realize all my goals and not really disappoint myself,” she said. Smith was second with 730 points and Ophelie David of France was third with 572 points.
Canadian phenom Andrew Wiggins bounced from NCAA tourney R.B. Fallstrom Associated Press
ST. LOUIS - Next stop for Andrew Wiggins, the NBA draft lottery. The Kansas freshman, sensational all season, would just as soon forget what looks to be his college swan song. “I could have done a lot better, I didn’t give my team what they needed,” Wiggins said after scoring just four points with four turnovers in the second-seeded Jay-
hawks’ 60-57 loss to No. 10 seed Stanford on Sunday in the third round of the South Regional. Just a little more from Wiggins, who had averaged 28 points the previous four games, might have been enough to send Kansas to the round of 16. He didn’t get involved at all, hitting just one of six shots. “I let a lot of people down,” Wiggins said. “If I would have played better, we wouldn’t be in this situation, you know?
“I blame myself for this.” Jayhawks coach Bill Self expects Kansas to be back in this position soon, just not with Wiggins. “You know, this isn’t the worst thing that’s going to happen to him in his life,” Self said. “If it is, he’s had a charmed life, there’s no question about that. “I’m sad for our team and I’m sad for him that it wasn’t our day or his day today.” Stanford’s front line might have
thrown off Wiggins, who again didn’t have 7-foot centre Joel Embiid with him because of a stress fracture in his back. “We don’t go against many teams that are bigger than us,” Self said. “So they bothered him with length. And I think he had an offgame, too.” Dwight Powell had 15 points and seven rebounds and Stanford wrapped up its second straight upset at the free throw line. Chasson Randle added 13
points, six steals and four assists for the Cardinal (23-12), who advanced to the round of 16 for the first time since 2008 - also their last NCAA appearance. They beat No. 7 seed New Mexico on Friday. Stanford will play 11th-seeded Dayton, which beat No. 3 Syracuse 55-53, in the round of 16 in Memphis, Tenn. Kansas was the second No. 2 seed to be eliminated. Villanova lost 77-65 to seventh-seeded Connecticut in the East Regional.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You handle tension well. Somewhere along the way today, you might decide that you don’t care how someone feels about you. You surprise people when you do a reversal, because you are so passionate about nearly everything you do. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your instincts could prevent a collision of wills. You see the big picture, whereas others cannot. As a result, you’ll see many solutions to fix the situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating takes you down a new path to new possibilities. You might want to change directions after you have a much-needed discussion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others often challenge you, and you find these contrary moments revealing, as they help you identify your priorities. You could find someone offensive in how he or she pushes for what he or she wants. A positive attitude will go far. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself. Others seem to be obsessive, and you might want to derail the whole matter. Your instincts will help you find out more about what exactly is going on.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Thirty-two years ago, my ex left me for another woman. He was verbally abusive and denigrated the children and me every chance he had. People did not realize what I went through during my marriage. I remarried 23 years ago, and the children are now grown adults. I have no contact with my ex at all unless it involves a major event for our kids, such as a graduation or wedding. Here’s the problem: In the past three years, my sisters have begun asking my ex and his new wife (that same Other Woman) to our family get-togethers, including bridal showers and my nephew’s wedding. In turn, my ex has invited my siblings to their family gatherings, including holiday celebrations. My husband and I cannot understand why my siblings would invite my ex and his wife to family events after all these years. Because of this, we have not attended any family gatherings, which hurts my 84-yearold mother. I have explained to her why we don’t show up when we suspect my ex will be present. We always make up for it by visiting her the day before or after. Annie, I do not want to see my ex or his wife at family functions. They are not family. Two of my sisters have been divorced. I asked whether they would like it if I invited their ex-husbands to my family events. They assured me they will stop. My mother’s birthday is coming up, and my husband and I have decided to go to the party at a restaurant. If my ex shows up, we will leave. Am I wrong not to want to see him anymore? Why do my siblings do this? -- Hurt Feelings Dear Hurt: It’s possible your siblings do this because they think your children would like it. Ask. But when they include your ex, they are saying they prefer his company to yours, which we agree is terribly hurtful, not only to you, but to your mother, and you should let them know. Regardless, they get to invite whomever they choose, and you get to decide whether or not to attend. Dear Annie: For us older folks looking into senior homes, there’s a major gap. We’ve found that while nursing homes get state oversight, senior residences usually are exempt from such scrutiny. However, since many senior citizens have restricted diets, that premise is cruel. Few seniors truly know about food content. Menus fail to specify which items are high-carb or high-sodium. We need to advocate to close that gap. Since many of your readers have elders in their family, let’s seek their help. -- Salemtowne, Ore. Dear Oregon: Senior residences are not all alike. While some oversight should exist to prevent abuses, seniors who are capable of living independently are presumed to be able to handle their own diets. The point of a senior residence is to provide community, activities, transportation and the luxury of having housekeeping assistance and cooked meals. If there is a special diet, most places will try to comply, but you have to tell them and keep tabs on it. Children of seniors who live in these places and believe their parents need nutritional supervision should look into it. And seniors who are considering retirement residences should check out such amenities before making a decision about where to live. Dear Annie: Recently you advised a grieving widower to ask his doctor to recommend a grief counselor. Many hospices also offer grief counseling to the community, even if you are not connected to a hospice patient. They also offer support groups for people grieving children, parents, spouses or partners. The service is free, although donations are always welcome. I am a volunteer at a wonderful hospice, and our grief counselors are outstanding -- and busy. -- Volunteer at Hospice of the Piedmont, N.C.

ANGELINA (ANN) HENRICH July 2, 1926 to March 8, 2014 Passing away peacefully in her sleep at The Pines at age 87, Ann continues on her next journey to join her beloved husband Paul who left us in 2000. Ann was born in Kerrobert, Sask. to parents who immigrated via ship from Odessa, Russia and were amongst the first Canadian pioneers to be allotted Prairie homesteads. With enough sisters (and one brother!) to make up an entire baseball team, Ann and her siblings worked very hard on the farm between going to school, but also shared many moments of fun. Ann provided care and compassion to the elderly at a Salvation Army special care home where she worked for many years. Later in Saskatoon after her marriage, she helped manage the family business and ran a busy household which always included various boarders (relatives, students and workers). Lucky were those who lived in or visited the Henrich household â&#x20AC;&#x201C; known for its welcoming, special brand of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul and Annâ&#x20AC;? hospitality, and Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delectable cooking that included home-grown vegetables, fruits and herbs. Numerous bocce, croquet, horseshoe and card game tournaments and parties were enjoyed by all at their Wasa Lake acreage. Ann was the foreman for an all-woman tree planting crew, leaving a wonderful legacy of new forests in the East Kootenays.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

About 18 missing in Washington mudslide that killed 3 ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Wash. — About 18 people are still unaccounted for after a massive mudslide in rural northwest Washington state killed at least three people and forced evacuations because of fears of flooding, authorities said Sunday. Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said at a news briefing that “we suspect that people are out there, but it’s far too dangerous to get responders out there on that mudflow.’’ Searchers in helicopters will be flying over the area of the 1-squaremile (2.6-square-kilometre) mudslide Sunday to find people who may have been able to get out on their own, as well as look for other signs of life. Authorities are also trying to determine how to get responders on the ground safely, Hots said, describing mudflow as “like quicksand.’’ Officials described the deadly slide as “a big wall of mud and debris’’ that blocked about one mile (1.6 kilometres) of State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles (90 kilometres) north of Seattle. It was reported about 60 feet (18 metres) deep in some areas. Several people — including an
infant — were critically injured and as many as 30 houses were destroyed. The slide wiped out one neighbourhood, where there were about 28 to 30 homes, authorities said. Hots said the number of missing is fluid and could change because some people may have been in cars and on roads when the slide hit just before 11 a.m. Saturday. The mud was so thick and deep that searchers turned back late Saturday after attempting to reach an area where voices were heard crying for help. Rescuers couldn’t hear any signs of life once they got closer, and the decision was made to back out due to safety reasons, Hots said. The slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which prompted an evacuation notice because water was rising rapidly behind the debris. Authorities worried about severe downstream flooding if water suddenly broke through the debris. Authorities said Sunday that residents could return home during daylight hours. The Snohomish County sheriff’s office reported that two people had been killed at the scene. Authorities later said one of the people who
had been rescued died at a hospital. A 6-month-old boy and an 81-year-old man remained in critical condition Sunday morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said two men, ages 37 and 58, were in serious condition, while a 25-year-old woman was upgraded to satisfactory condition. Five of the injured were taken to Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, and one has been treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Jennifer Egger said She didn’t know the condition of the others. The American Red Cross set up at the hospital, and evacuation shelters were created at Post Middle School in Arlington and the Darrington Community Center. One eyewitness told the Daily Herald that he was driving on the roadway and had to quickly brake to avoid the mudslide. “I just saw the darkness coming across the road. Everything was gone in three seconds,’’ Paulo Falcao told the newspaper. Search-and-rescue help came from around the region, plus the Washington State Patrol and the Army Corps of Engineers. More than 100 rescuers were at the scene.

This photo provided by the Washington State Patrol shows the aftermath of a mudslide that moved a house with people inside in Snohomish County on Saturday, March 22, 2014. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for Snohomish County through Sunday afternoon. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee also proclaimed a state of emergency. He planned to visit the scene Sunday. Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground water saturation
from recent heavy rainfall. John Pennington from the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management said the area has a history of unstable land. He said a slide also happened there in 2006. Pennington said Saturday’s slide happened without warning. “This slide came out of nowhere,’’ he said.
New satellite data shows possible Malaysian jet debris ASSOCIATED PRESS
PERTH, Australia — France provided new satellite data Sunday showing possible debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, as searchers combing a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean tried without success to locate a pallet that could be a key clue in solving one of the world’s biggest aviation mysteries. The new information given to Malaysia’s government and forwarded to searchers in Australia shows “potential objects’’ in the same part of the ocean where satellite images previously released by Australia and China showed objects that could be debris from the plane, Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport said in a statement without providing further details. Flight 370 went missing over the Gulf of Thailand on March 8 with 239 people aboard en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, setting off a multinational search effort that has turned up nothing conclusive so far on what happened to the jet. Sunday’s search was frustrating because
“there was cloud down to the surface and at times we were completely enclosed by cloud,’’ Royal Australian Air Force flight Lt. Russell Adams told reporters at the military base where the planes take off and land on their missions. Details on the French data were not immediately released. The statement from Malaysia called the information “new satellite images,’’ while a statement from France’s Foreign Ministry said “radar echoes taken by a satellite’’ had located floating debris but made no mention of imagery. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which is leading the search in waters off Australia, declined to offer details about the information from France. “Any satellite images or other new information that comes to AMSA is being considered in developing the search plans,’’ AMSA said. But a Malaysian official involved in the search mission said the French data consisted of radar echoes captured Friday and converted into fuzzy images that located objects about 930 kilometres north of
the spots where the objects in the images released by Australia and China were located. One of the objects located was estimated to be about the same size as an object captured Tuesday by the Chinese satellite that appeared to be 22 metres by 13 metres, said the official, who declined to be identified because he isn’t authorized to speak to the media. It was not possible to determine precise dimensions from the French data, the official said. Information about the new data emerged as authorities co-ordinating the search, which is being conducted about 2,500 kilometres southwest of Perth, sent planes and a ship to try to “re-find’’ a wooden pallet that appeared to be surrounded by straps of varying lengths and colours. It was spotted Saturday by spotters in a search plane, but no images were captured of it and a military PC Orion military plane dispatched to locate the pallet could not find it. “So, we’ve gone back to that area again today to try and re-find it,’’ said Mike Barton, chief of the Australian Maritime
Safety Authority’s rescue co-ordinationcentre. An Australian navy ship was also involved in the search. Wooden pallets are commonly used in shipping, but can also be used in cargo containers carried on planes. AMSA said the air-
craft that spotted the pallet was unable to take photos of it. An official with Malaysia Airlines said Sunday night that the flight was carrying wooden pallets but provided no further details, including the number of pallets. The official spoke
on condition of anonymity because of company policy preventing the official from being named. The southern Indian Ocean is thought to be a potential area to find the jet because Malaysian authorities have said pings sent by the Boeing
777-200 for several hours after it disappeared indicated that the plane ended up in one of two huge arcs: a northern corridor stretching from Malaysia to Central Asia, or a southern corridor that stretches toward Antarctica.
Drawings, manuscripts by John Lennon headed to auction ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A collection of John Lennon’s drawings and manuscripts is going up for auction. The “You Might Well Arsk’’ sale of the late Beatles’ material is scheduled to take place June 4 in New York, Sotheby’s said. The items are being put up for sale by Tom Maschler, who had worked with Lennon on “In His Own Write’’ and “A Spaniard in the Works.’’ Lennon wrote the books and created the drawings for them in the 1960s. Among the items in the auction is a manuscript from 1965 called “The Singularge Experience of Miss Anne Duffield,’’ which is expected to sell for $40,000 to $60,000. Another is an illustration of a guitar player with four eyes, which Lennon created in 1964 or 1965. It has a presale estimate of $15,000 to $25,000.

The auction comes in a high-profile year for Beatles nostalgia. Fifty years ago, in February 1964, the Beatles made their first live U.S. concert appearance. A piece of the stage back-
drop will be up for auction April 26 in New York City. Lennon was fatally shot in 1980 by Mark David Chapman, who has been denied parole seven times.
