Cranbrook and Kimberley parents got together on Saturday, April 26 to take part in the Great Cloth Diaper Change, a global attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most diapers changed at one time. Twenty-seven parents and tots gathered at the Cranbrook Family Connections building to take part in the challenge. The results are still being tabulated, but the event is on track to beat the previous record of 8,301 diapers changed in 2013.

Problem traffic light gets technological makeover ‘Demons will be banished’ from light at Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street South with new cameras

A board that includes municipalities from the Okanagan is hoping that Cranbrook council will get behind their push to prevent invasive mussels from entering B.C. At Monday’s meeting, council authorized Mayor Wayne Stetski to send a letter reaffirming Cranbrook council’s support for the 2013 Union of B.C. Municipalities resolution on invasive mussels. “It’s just reaffirming that we take those little creatures seriously,” Stetski said. The Okanagan Basin Water Board is concerned about invasive zebra and quagga mussels entering B.C. waters by way of uninspected boats coming from
Cameras have been installed on what the city calls a “possessed” traffic light on Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street South. Joe McGowan, director of public works, said the traffic light will be exorcised of its demons when the cameras begin to control the intersection on Friday, May 16. “We don’t know what’s going on. What we suspect has happened is the loops – the sensors underneath the asphalt – we believe that some of them have problems,” said McGowan. Rather than ripping up the pavement in the intersection to replace the sensors, the City of Cranbrook has chosen to install new technology that will cost about 25 per cent what

it would cost to repave. “It appears that this new camera recognition system is superior in reliability to what we have now. So rather than replace what we have now with the same thing, we are going to the next level of technology,” said McGowan. Observant residents will have already noticed the cameras that have been installed about the traffic lights at that intersection. However, the wiring to connect the cameras to the computer that will control them has yet to be installed. That work is expected to be complete by May 16. There needs to be a physical connection between the cameras and the computer, which will be located in a cabinet near the intersection.

Music Monday marked May 5 Jessic a C ampbell
Music Monday marks its 10th anniversary in Canada on May 5, and Cranbrook is taking part in the celebration. More than 300 band students from Cranbrook’s schools will gather at the Tamarack Mall, starting at 1:15 p.m., Monday, May 5, performing a variety of genres. “It’s always nice to perform for an audience,” said Julie Ackerman, one of the organizers of the event. “The kids are all very excited and we would all love our community to come out and show their support for keeping music in the schools.” Music Monday is an annual event that brings together thousands of students, musicians, parents and community members across the country to celebrate the gift of music in our lives. Studies have shown that students who participate in music activities also experience greater success in math, reading and science. Ackerman said that the event is not a fundraiser. “This is an awareness of the music that is being performed and produced in these schools and we just want to show the public what’s being created so that we don’t ever lose it.”

Prescribed burn planned near Fort Steele Wednesday Trish Barnes For the Townsman
If you see smoke in the sky east of Fort Steele on Wednesday, April 30, don’t worry: If conditions are right, crews will be conducting a low-intensity prescribed burn on Brewery Ridge. The burn will be conducted by Wildfire Management Branch, in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program. The 190-hectare site on Brewery Ridge is just north of the two-kilometre marker on the Wildhorse River Forest Service Road. This site has received pre-burn thinning treatment and is a high-priority for ecosystem restoration because it’s vital Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep habitat. Crews from Wildfire Management were on site last week to conduct test burns. The burn this week will be ignited only if weather conditions meet B.C.’s smoke control regulations and

Historically, the forest in the Rocky Mountain Trench was renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrubby understory and created a relatively open forest with large, healthy trees. The exclusion of fire from the landscape over recent decades has in-
creased the fuels that contribute to the risk of more intense and damaging fires, and reduced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Trench. Combined with other factors, the resulting forest ingrowth has caused an overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and forest values. The reintroduction of low-intensity ground fires to these forests is
intended to maintain and restore what ecologists describe as a “fire-maintained, Douglas fir, fescue grass community,” which is natural for these sites. These fires are part of an ongoing restoration program administered by the provincial government. For more information, visit www.trencher.com.

Gold Creek Market opens with new bright look
A r n e P e tryshen Townsman Staff
In June last year the former owners of Gold Creek Country Store shut its doors, which caused an important aspect of community in that area to disappear. Gold Creek residents then had to head into town for groceries and gas. However, since the beginning of 2014, the store has reopened its doors, now under new ownership and with a brand new name: the Gold Creek Market.
Constance and Randy Priore took over the store in October and spent three months renovating and upgrading the building and its equipment. On Sunday, April 27, the store had its grand reopening, complete with two local bands — the Pacemakers and the Bookends. Priore said they decided to purchase the store because they live in the area and saw its importance to the community. “We live up here in
this area and we shopped here every day when it was open,” she said. “It closed periodically when they ran out of inventory. We wanted to fix that.” And because the store had closed down they decided to do renovations before they opened it back up. And the renovations were extensive. “It was basically given a complete facelift,” she said. On top of that they purchased new commercial equipment for
the kitchen, painted the entire store area, waxed the floors, and installed new electrical work. “We changed the layout so there was better flow,” she said. “It’s clean, bright and fresh.” The store now has a more open and organized feel to it. They moved everything around, including the counter from the right side to the left side of the entrance, and the beer coolers to the back of the building. They added addi-

Stetski said she was right, it’s not being taken seriously. “That’s why the Okanagan Water Board has requested all the municipalities to write separate letters, to make sure that they understand how important it is,” he said. The water board noted in the letter to council that the mussels could irrevocably harm the local environment, economy and way of life here in B.C. “The mussels would impact every water intake, outfall, boat and dock in our lakes, and all other in-lake infrastructure,” said Doug Findlater, chair of the Okanagan Water Board. “Our sense of urgency arises from a recent near-miss that exposed gaps in policy and preparation.”
Findlater wrote that on March 12, a Canada Border Services Officer noticed visible mussels on the hull of a boat coming from southwestern U.S. The boat was on its way to be launched in the Okanagan. The border officers worked with B.C. Conservation Officers to decontaminate the boat, after which it was released. Findlater commended the border agent and conservation officers for working together to solve the problem at hand, but said the issue is that there is no federal legislation to prevent a mussel infested boat from being imported into Canada. The changes to make that happen have been pending for more than a year. The border agent had not received any train-
ing about mussels, only information from a public outreach campaign in Osoyoos. Coun. Sharon Cross said upon reading that story, she was reminded of a similar story from a couple years ago at the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council AGM. “They were explaining that there was an incident at the Roosville border where a boat got through and they ended up chasing it to Kootenay Lake and got it before it got in the water,” she said. “There again it was just because someone was on alert.” Cross suggested that the issue should be raised at the Regional District meeting as well. The water board noted that implementing a boat inspection program would be a fraction of the cost that dealing with a zebra or
quagga mussel infestation would cost. Conservative estimates are $20 million a year in B.C., though the water board puts the cost at more than $40 million in the Okanagan alone. “I respectfully request that the Government of Canada move quickly to pass the regulations prohibiting transport of invasive zebra and quagga mussels into Canada,” said Findlater. “We further request that the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Public Safety allocate funds, and enable, train, and equip Canada border agents to inspect boats for invasive aquatic species and prohibit their entry without decontamination of the watercraft.” Councillors Pallesen and Scott were opposed to the motion.
tional shelves for products and now sell produce and fresh fruit. The kitchen is open from 4-9 p.m. Phone-in orders are welcome. “We have absolutely the best pizza in Cranbrook,” she claims.
“Made fresh, made to order.” The building itself is 20 years old; the Priores are the fourth owners. Priore thanked the community for coming out for the grand opening on Sunday, as well
as the radio station and the bands for their great performances. The Gold Creek Market is located at 2455 30th Ave. South and open every day of the year from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Anyone interested in what goes into Cranbrook’s Public Produce Garden this summer is invited to a planning session today, Wednesday, April 30 at 3 p.m. The garden, located in Mackinnon Park between Hotshots and Save-On, was built in 2012 as a place where the community could come together to grow produce. Anyone can help plant and maintain the garden, and anyone can harvest and take home the produce as it grows. In its third season, gardeners are hoping to have more structure to what goes into the garden, according to Shannon Grey Duncan, communications coordinator of Cranbrook
Food Action. “Last year we had a totally open policy to seeding and planting in the garden,” said Grey Duncan. “This year the consensus has been to have more group planning to ensure we grow as much as possible and make it easier and more efficient to harvest and maintain.” This week’s planning session will focus on the annual garden bed and new beds that have been created this year, she went on. “The priority now is figuring out what and how to plant the annual bed, as it’s time to start getting things in the ground,” said Grey Duncan. “This is the second planning session and we’ll have more opportunities as the season progresses.”

That computer will be installed with stateof-the-art software that analyzes the camera footage and instantly recognizes when a vehicle is waiting at the intersection, McGowan explained. “The software we are using, that is attached to the camera, says, hey, this is a truck, this is a car, this is a bike, this is a people. If a people, don’t worry about it. If it’s a pedal bike, don’t worry about it. If it’s a motorbike, flip the light,” he said. The cameras are trained so that they are narrow enough to recognize which lane a vehicle is waiting in. “So a truck parking in an opposite lane wouldn’t trigger it,” said McGowan. “The cameras are focused on cer-

tain areas and they literally record cars coming and going.” It is the first intersection in Cranbrook to use the technology. However, each intersection is a standalone entity. “We do not have the luxury of having all of the intersections linked as occurs in some places because there has to be a physical connection between the intersections. So if 2nd Street South and Victoria were to be tied together with 2nd Street North and Victoria, there would have to be a fibre optic cable between those two, or a radio set-up, which would probably be just as expensive,” said McGowan. The cameras are not being used to catch drivers who run the red light or speed through the intersection, he added. “I’m just trying to get this thing so it doesn’t behave like a teenager. We can’t find the problems, but we know they are there because they keep showing up. The only thing we can think of is broken coils underneath the pavement. So let’s go to the newer technology.”

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS …
I
In the wilds of Cranbrook
am truly a home person. I grew up in Ontario, and aside from crossing the U.S. border a few times with my family, have never really travelled anywhere. I always need my family and friends close by. Even moving from Kingston to Belleville was hard for me, and that’s only a forty-minute drive. Needless to say, I have never been anywhere else in Canada. I have always wanted to see more of our country, but my fear of leaving home, even for a few weeks, has always held me back. So coming out to British Columbia was a big decision for me. I also didn’t come alone — I am five months pregnant with my first child. But I have to say thanks to the photojournalism program I’m taking in college and to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman for taking me on as an intern. Without these I would never have thought to go on this amazing adventure. On my way to Cranbrook, B.C., I was
sitting on the plane wondering how I’d come to this point. The answer was my enthusiasm and passion for writing and photography, through which I can better express myself than through speaking. Of course I was nervous and scared. It was my first plane ride by myself. My first time truly leaving home. I didn’t know what to expect but all that being said now, I Jessica love every day that I am Campbell here. As I was flying into Cranbrook, I saw this amazing view underneath me, a vista of snowy mountains and beautiful forests. Suddenly, all my nervousness was gone. I knew at that moment that this trip was going to be an experience of a lifetime, which it has been. I’ve been staying with one of my best friends, who moved to Cranbrook about two years ago. She and her fiancé have made this trip an incredible experience for me. All the travelling we’ve done since I’ve been here has shown
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
me close ups of all these beautiful vistas that I wish I could take home with me. Photographs really don’t do it justice. The Daily Townsman has been a great experience so far, too. I haven’t gotten out into the field yet unfortunately, because of my lack of a car, but that’s honestly okay. I have been doing phone interviews, writing stories and learning a lot. Even if this was all I did for the next few weeks while I’m working here, that works for me, because I am doing what I love. I’ve been in Cranbrook for over a week now and yes, I miss home, a lot. But nothing will ruin this experience for me. I’m going to savour every moment I can while I’m here. One of the hardest things that I think will happen when I go home is that I am going to miss Cranbrook so much that I’m going to want to come back. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

NBA boss bans Sterling for life, hands out $2.5 million fine ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mount Baker Wild senior girls soccer coach Jimmy Robinson gets his team ready for practice on Tuesday afternoon.
Wild soccer squad kicks off new season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Mount Baker Wild girls soccer squad have dusted off the boots to begin a new season. The team returned undefeated in four games from a tournament in Creston this past weekend—their third event of the season. Going up against fellow high school teams in the region, the girls won twice on Friday at scores of 4-0 and 2-0. They kept the momentum rolling into Saturday’s matches, winning at
6-0 and 4-0. “It was a pretty good weekend,” laughed Hope Blissett, a Grade 12 member of the team. “…I think our best game was on the Saturday morning, we had total control the whole time and won 6-0, and it was probably the best I’ve seen the team play this year.” The girls previously went to tournaments in Kelowna and on home soil, and are starting to click after getting a bunch of games under their belts. “We’re kind of getting in the groove with everybody, since
it’s our third tournament together,” Blissett said. “It was a pretty new team at the beginning, because that’s when we were in Kelowna but now, we’re pretty solid as a team.” While there are a few Grade 12 players on the roster, it’s mostly a youth movement this year. “We have nine players from our last year’s team and 10 newbies,” added Blissett. “Most of them are Grade 10’s actually, and what our starting lineup is, a lot of Grade 10’s. “It’s just a different feel be-
cause the seniors are still up there, but it’s more of the juniors coming up and helping out.” Wild head coach Jimmy Robinson notes that his team is also really close off the field. “They’re very talented, and they’ve bonded really easily,” he said. “There’s a core group of seven Grade 10’s that have been playing together for a long time.” The team is headed to Nakusp this weekend for another tournament, and to the Couer d’Alene in Idaho later in May.
Minor lacrosse association continues to grow TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Cranbrook Minor Lacrosse Association is beginning a new season, with their highest-ever numbers at 107 players, tripling from when they started three years ago. That creates one team of tykes, one team of novice, two pee wee squads and a bantam and midget team. There is also plans to create an adult drop-in night on Tuesdays. The association was recently represented by three players who went to Team Interior tryouts—the first step in making it to the Team B.C. roster—but faced some tough competition for roster spots. The minor teams, known as the Outlaws,
have already been hard at practice for the last couple of weeks, and officially began their season in the Southern Alberta Lacrosse Association last weekend. It was a sweep for the Outlaws, as the Midgets won their only game, while the novices and one pee wee team collected two victories. The bantams couldn’t make it to Lethbridge due to inclement weather, while the other pee wee team wasn’t scheduled to play. Russ Sheppard, a local lacrosse coach, has signed on to coach the Kootenay zone team for the upcoming B.C. Summer Games, with plenty of Outlaws’ players interested in vying for roster spots.

NEW YORK - Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation. Commissioner Adam Silver said he will try to force the controversial owner to sell his franchise. Sterling has also been fined $2.5 million, and Silver made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments. He said a league investigation found that the league’s longest-tenured owner was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend. “We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling’s views,” Silver said. “They simply have no place in the NBA.” Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said. Sterling is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, be present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team. He also cannot participate in any league business going forward. “This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one coach and any one player,” Silver said. The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and the Players Association, Silver said. Sterling’s comments were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin, and numerous NBA owners and players have condemned them. Even President Barack Obama weighed in on the crisis, the first of Silver’s brief tenure as commissioner.
Simmonds nets a hat trick, Flyers beat Rangers to force Game 7 DAN GELSTON Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - Wayne Simmonds scored three goals and Steve Mason stopped 34 shots to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, forcing a decisive Game 7 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. There’s little time for rest, too. The Flyers and Rangers play again Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Simmonds scored in the first period and twice more in the second for his first career post-season hat trick. Mason survived a busy first period and stopping 31 straight shots until Carl Hagelin scored late in the third. Mats Zuccarello also scored for New York in the final minute. By the third, Simmonds had already helped stake the Flyers to a 4-0 lead and the outcome was a mere formality. Erik Gustafsson also scored and Claude Giroux had an empty-netter for the Flyers, who will try for a second win in New York this series. Simmonds, a 28-goal scorer who had one in the first five games, completed the hat trick with 4:41 left in the second. With a short turnaround, Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was yanked for Cam Talbot to open the third period. Lundqvist stopped 19 of 23 shots. He couldn’t stop Simmonds. NOTES: Flyers D Nicklas Grossmann underwent surgery to repair tendon damage in his right ankle suffered in Game 4. He could miss up to 10 weeks... The Flyers beat the Rangers 4-3 on May 5, 1974, in the only other time the teams played a Game 7.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Indulge a little, and decide on an item for the house that might enhance your well-being and perhaps provide a little luxury. You could be challenged by a dominant person. In this case, follow your intuition if you want to land well. Tonight: Get together with your friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be too tired to deal with everything that is on your plate. Make it your pleasure, and you will be delighted by someone else’s reaction. You might be in the mood to indulge a little, later in the day. Tonight: Go off and compare prices on a special item. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure builds, which might challenge you to head in a new direction; however, the smart move would be to stop and slow down. Talk to an adviser or dear friend before doing anything. You know that this person has good judgment and understands you well. Tonight: As you
like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what is most important to clear out ASAP. News could filter in from someone at a distance that might trigger your imagination. Do not push too much to get a reaction; instead, be more open in a discussion. Tonight: Time for some reflection. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. You might worry about how to accomplish these tasks, or you could start eliminating one item or activity after another. Friends are likely to distract you, so postpone socializing for now. Tonight: Get together with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to take a stand. Seek help from others, as you might not have the necessary knowledge to accomplish that task. A loved one could demonstrate his or her caring and understanding. Be the cautious Virgo that we all know. Tonight: Go where there is great music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
One-on-one relating will point you in an unseen direction. Understand what must happen if you are to take charge of a problem. You might need to make more changes than you would like. Discuss options with someone in the know. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to someone else. This person will need to have the sense that you have confidence in his or her suggestions. A loved one seems unusually docile. At some time during the day, you might want to buy a token of affection for this person. Tonight: Happy at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to understand what is motivating a friend whom you see nearly every day. This person could be making an unusual effort to reach out to you, which might cause you to feel uncomfortable. Be gracious, but remain observant. Tonight: Accept an invitation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your imagination might take over, and you could have a diffi-
cult time settling in. Perhaps you need to take some time for yourself. Postpone whatever you can. You will get to it later -- probably at a better time. Allow greater access to a loved one. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay focused in a discussion with a family member; this person means what he or she says. You must decide if you are ready to put in an extra effort with a home project. Buy a card for a loved one on the way home. Tonight: Let off some steam with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Manage your time, and don’t push yourself to the point of getting stressed out. You could be a little tired of having to do as much as you have to. Make it a point to stop and take a walk at lunchtime, or indulge in some other healthy habit! Tonight: Mosey on home.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m a 59-year-old non-working female who has been married for 20 years. I thought my husband was a wonderful man, but 10 years ago, he removed my name from our joint bank accounts. I worked for 30 years. I now find myself with no money and no job. I have to depend on my husband for everything. He doesn’t give me money unless I beg for it. Is there anything I can do legally to persuade him to give me an allowance? He says he pays all of our bills, so I don’t need any money. Our three children agree with him. For health reasons, I cannot return to work. What can I do? -- Confused Dear Confused: Because your husband and your children all believe you should not handle money, we have to ask whether there is a reason. Do you gamble? Do you overspend? Even so, you still should be allotted a small amount of money for personal use. The other possibility is financial abuse. Many people think abuse is predominantly about physical harm, but it comes in many guises, one of which is controlling all the money in a relationship, making one partner completely dependent on the other. If this is what is happening in your marriage, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799SAFE. Dear Annie: Our daughter and her husband are extremely poor housekeepers. They are successful in education and at their jobs, but utterly fail when it comes to cleaning. They never invite people to their house. The mess embarrasses our two young grandchildren, who make unsolicited comments about the condition of their home when they stay with us. We once mentioned the state of their house years ago and were told to butt out. When my son-in-law was hospitalized, the family performed a cleaning intervention. Unfortunately, it didn’t last, and things are back to the usual. We don’t know how to encourage cleanliness without creating a conflict. Any suggestions? -- Concerned Grandparents Dear Concerned: How messy? If it is clutter (not hoarding), leave it alone. A messy house is no reason to create ill will with your daughter. Not everyone’s standards of cleanliness will be up to yours, and while they may not want company, it is not dangerous. However, if there is old food getting moldy on the carpet, bugs crawling all over the floor and rats in the closets, it is a health hazard to the children and should be reported. We suggest you tell them that you understand how terribly busy they are and ask whether you can gift them with a professional cleaning service as your birthday, anniversary and Christmas presents. (Feel free to add Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Labor Day if you can afford it.) Don’t make negative remarks about their lack of housekeeping skills. If they refuse your kind offer, invite the kids over more often and leave the rest alone. Dear Annie: You’ve printed a few letters about parents who are estranged from their kids. I have not spoken to my mother in years. She is a meddler and a self-centered person who is more interested in her image than in what’s right. Years ago, I went through a nasty divorce, and Mom sided with my ex-wife in court. When the truth came out, I was given full custody of my son. My mother never showed remorse for her actions or even said so much as “I’m sorry.” My son is now 18, and she has never tried to contact him. I have learned not to let her hurt or control me. I am OK with my life the way it is. -- Better Off Without Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Town in Newfoundland worries that beached blue whale will burst C ANADIAN PRESS
TROUT RIVER, N.L. — A small town in western Newfoundland is concerned that a beached blue whale that is rotting along its shoreline next to a boardwalk could explode. Emily Butler, the town clerk in Trout River, says the 26-metre long mammal is emitting a powerful odour and she’s concerned about the possibility of gas expanding inside the animal to the point where it will burst. The whale is one of three beached in small communities along Newfoundland’s west
coast near Gros Morne National Park. Butler says she’s asked for help from the province’s Environment and Government Services departments as well as the federal Fisheries Department in removing the whale. The two provincial departments were unavailable for comment Tuesday. The federal Fisheries Department has said the onus of moving beached whales usually falls to municipalities and then the province, which must obtain a special permit from the department to remove them.
VICTORIA — Job training is going to become the focus of British Columbia’s education and apprenticeship systems. Premier Christy Clark unveiled her government’s B.C.’s Skills and Jobs Blueprint today, outlining the government’s promise to
give young people a seamless path from school to the workplace. The blueprint has three objectives to maximize the school-to-jobs plan, including focusing on early, hands-on learning in schools, shifting education to match jobs in demand and entering partnerships with industry and labour

to deliver training. One of the proposed changes includes reforming Grade 10 to 12 graduation requirements to give students skills and knowledge to find jobs after high school. The government will be asking post-secondary institutions to focus their training programs and courses on
what it calls high-demand occupations and concedes that some courses like philosophy, will lose out to business, commerce and sciences. The education plans are designed to put British Columbians first in line to fill one million expected job openings by 2022.
More than girdles and pearls
Teen finds friends, confidence following 1950s popularity guide Alicia R ancilio Associated Press
NEW YORK — Respecting or learning from one’s elders isn’t exactly a top priority for most teens. For Maya Van Wagenen, though, digging up a previous generation’s teen scene actually helped her. She survived the middle-school blues thanks to “Betty Cornell’s Teenage Popularity Guide,’’ published in 1953. Her experiences following the guide led Van Wagenen to write her own book, “Popular,’’ which has now been optioned for a movie. Van Wagenen, 15, says her father found Cornell’s book in a thrift shop, way before she was born. He held onto it for years because its outdated gems like “Beautiful hair is about the most important thing a girl has,’’ made him smile. The guide surfaced during a clean-up effort and her parents challenged their eighth grade daughter to an idea: Follow the book’s advice in secret and write about what hap-
pens. Van Wagenen says considered herself to be “one step above substitute teachers’’ on her school’s popularity scale and worried the project would make things worse. “It didn’t seem like a good idea at all,’’ she recalled in a recent interview. “I was terrified because flipping through the pages you read about all teens must wear a girdle and wear pearls to school and wear pantyhose and red lipstick and stuff that I definitely wasn’t comfortable doing.’’ Although she was used to being invisible, as she read the book she had an epiphany. “I realized I did want friends and I did want to be liked and I did want to be accepted and while I didn’t have a clear cut definition of popularity, I knew that it wasn’t what I was. More than anything, I didn’t have anything to lose, so I said, ‘You know what? I’ll try it for a month.’’’ She began to make changes, wore pearls, dressed up and even tried a girdle.

Maya Van Wagenen wrote ‘Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek’ after following Betty Cornell’s advice.
Some reaction to her new habits was hurtful, but documenting it seemed to help. “There were times people would say mean things and it would make me feel really bad,’’ confessed Van Wagenen, who was a 13-year-old eighth-grader in Brownsville, Texas, at the time. But writing about them turned them into “hilarious
stories’’ where she was “able to laugh at these things that were genuinely hurtful at first.’’ “These bullies became characters, and I became a character as well and that was really empowering,’’ Van Wagenen said, adding: “I would say, ‘Well, what would I want my character to be doing right now?’’’ Besides changing her appearance, Cornell’s guide also encouraged Van Wagenen to reach out to others and be more outgoing. As she made connections, kids began to gravitate to her. Soon she realized, “Everyone around you is like you, and they’re looking for friendship, and so it’s good to step up and to be that person, that kind person.’’ As Van Wagenen’s experiment was working, her father went to work to track down Betty Cornell, now 79 and living in Audubon, Pa. The two met and Van Wagenen discovered that Cornell still follows the principles of the book herself.
VANCOUVER — Members of the public are being encouraged to pull on their Sherlock Holmes hats to help Vancouver’s police department solve historic murders. The police force has launched a new website devoted to getting the word out about cold cases in hopes public tips will help solve the crimes. The site — found at vpdcoldcases.ca — so far features eight murder cases that occurred between 1981 and 2008. One case involves 61-year-old Cathy Berard, who was assaulted
and left for dead on the grounds of an east Vancouver high school in 1996, while another reveals an anonymous letter sent to police in 2002 about the killing of Danielle Larue, whose body has never been found. Deputy Chief Adam Palmer says families of the victims support the website approach, which has the possibility of garnering tips from a large public audience. He says often a small lead, perhaps chatter along the grapevine, is all that’s required to crack open a case that has been dormant for decades.
Trial set for man accused of killing wife near Revelstoke C am Fortems Kamloops This Week
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A man accused of killing his wife by pushing her off a boat at a lake near Revelstoke, B.C., is scheduled to stand trial in January 2015. Peter Beckett is charged with first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem has set aside six months for the jury trial. He also released a ruling that allowed Beckett access to the majority of paper documents he sought. “I’ve read your decision,’’ Beckett told Meiklem on Monday. “(The word) surprising, credulous, inaccurate and biased come to mind,’’ Beckett said. “I thought the decision was in your favour, more or less,’’ Meiklem said. Beckett is now appealing some decisions made on his applications, but Meiklem warned that won’t delay trial. “You haven’t been diligent on your defence,’’ Meiklem said. “You’ve been diligent on the offensive side.’’
Beckett, a native New Zealander and a massive man who dwarfs sheriffs and lawyers in the courtroom, is a former alderman in that country. The Crown alleges he killed Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by shoving her off a boat at Shelter Bay, south of Revelstoke, in 2010. He was arrested a year later. Police also believe Beckett plotted to kill five witnesses — including Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars. Beckett is in custody at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, where he said he is locked up 22 hours a day. He has been filing applications from behind bars, alleging abuse of process, bias by police and court officials and failure of the Crown to disclose documents. The Crown was planning to give him electronic access, but Beckett complained he was not comfortable with technology and accused officials of tampering with electronic documents.
