Kimberley considers 55 plus Games bid
Joint bid with Cranbrook under discussion C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The City of Kimberley is exploring the feasibility of putting in a joint bid with the City of Cranbrook for an upcoming 55+ BC Games in 2017, 2018 or 2019. Kimberley City Council discussed the possibility at their regular meeting this past Monday evening (March 9). The City of Kimberley had submitted a joint bid with the City of Cranbrook for the 2004/2006 BC Senior Games (now renamed the 55+ BC Games) but were unsuccessful. The City of Cranbrook also
bid on the 2015 and 2016 BC Senior Games but were also unsuccessful. Manager of Parks and Recreation for the City of Kimberley, Dave Clarke, indicated in a report to Council that the BC Senior Games Society has made changes to their bid process that would make it more accessible to smaller cities. But Clarke still felt that a joint bid, such as the successful 2008 BC Winter Games hosted by Cranbrook/Kimberley, was the way to go. The 55+ Games also have the advantage of requiring fewer volunteers and athletes and coaches provide their own accommodation. See GAMES, page 3

On March 7, the Kimberley Nordic Club held ski demo day that featured Salomon Skis. The event organized by Chris BlochHansen in cooperation with Gerick Sports, the Nordic Club and Phil Villeneuve of Salomon allowed skiers of various levels to tryout skate or classic skis. The event was very well received with well over 50 skiers trying out equipment. Chris and Phil were kept busy all day providing tips and information about Salomon skis. With relatively new snow and some expert grooming, the trails are in great shape.

packs are at 76 per cent of normal, which is considered moderately low. Temperatures in March were three to five degrees above normal across the province, meaning that much of the precipitation fell as rain rather than snow. Precipita-
tion was below normal in Vancouver Island, South Coast, and the Kootenays. Typically by the end of February, 80 per cent of the season’s snow pack has accumulated. The River Forecast Centre does not hold out much hope
for more snow to fall as the long range forecast indicates weather conditions will remain warmer than normal through May. In those ares with extremely low snow packs, low flows are expected to occur earlier than normal this year,

very low flows can be expected in the summer unless significant rainfall occurs through the spring and summer. That will be lessened somewhat in our area as snow packs are not as low, but low flows can still be expected this summer.

Kimberley considers bid for 55+ BC Games From Page 1 Analyses completed for the Nanaimo Games (2007) and the Richmond Games (2009) estimate the economic impacts for the two host communities from the four-day event at $2 million and $2.1 million respectively, Clarke reported. Clarke’s report recommended that; contingent on the active involvement of the accommodation and tourism sector in Cranbrook and Kimberley, to assist with bid package development, and subsequent organization of the games if a bid is successful, that Council directs staff to
submit a joint bid with the City of Cranbrook, to host the 2017, 2018 or 2019 55+ BC Games and that an expenditure of $30,000 cash, and $27,500 in kind services be committed if the Games are awarded. Council had some discussion on what the expected level of support from the accommodation and tourism sectors should be. Coun. Kent Goodwin pointed out that past successful Games in the area always had a strong community champion heading up a good volunteer committee. “If we don’t get that, I don’t think we can do
it,” he said. Mayor Don McCormick agreed that a lot of information was needed before the bid goes in. Coun. Darryl Oakley said that Kimberley had always had amazing volunteers and that the economic benefits of a Games were significant. Council remained a little uncomfortable with the $30,000 cash and $27,000 in kind promise that went along with the bid and in the end, voted to proceed to investigate the bid but not promise that financial aspect yet.

Trail going to the dogs People are not picking up after their dogs on some Kimberley trails C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley City Councillors discussed the trail acriss the creek from McKim School and what to do about a big dog problem. The problem is people not picking up after their dogs, leaving a mess on the trail. The original suggestion was to put
signage up on the trail reminding people to scoop the poop. Coun. Bev Middlebrook mentioned that she sometimes wondered why the City can’t enforce its bylaws. “We seem to have the same problem over and over again,” she said. “Animal Control is mostly about communication,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. He added that signs would likely not be enough. “We need dog bags and garbage cans. That was done on the entrance to the Lois Creek trails and it really worked.”

Translocation study close to reality, McCormick says
Provincial government needs to assist with study, Mayor says C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
With the recent troubles in Cranbrook over their deer cull with deer traps being vandalized, and with animal rights groups such as Animal Alliance calling for tourism boycotts of communities where culls are taking place, it is clear that other methods for dealing with urban deer must be explored, says Mayor Don McCormick. McCormick told Council this week that Kimberley’s latest counts last November indicated 98 to 100 deer in town, which has dropped quite a bit from counts before Kimberley’s first cull where 200 deer were counted. “A lot of it has to do with other measures we have taken in Kimberley, such as bylaws, fencing and signs,” McCormick said. “Those things are all subtle but
they help. “Resistance to culling from those groups who oppose them has become a lot more sophisticated. Our ability to execute deer culls is going to be a lot more limited by groups who don’t want them to happen, as we can see by what happened to Cranbrook’s cull last week.” That’s why other methods such as translocation must be explored, he says. “Older studies say translocation doesn’t work, but a couple of newer ones out of New Mexico and Utah have shown positive results. “We propose a translocation pilot to produce our own science in this region,” McCormick said. “Can mule deer be translocated?” The study will cost about $100,000. With four communities — Kimberley, Elkford, Cranbrook and Invermere — now having committed $10,000 towards a study, as well as Animal Alliance pledging $10,000, funding is well on its way. However, the provincial government has to step up, the mayor says.
“By showing that unanimity from four communities, we will go back to the government now and say ‘we need you to buy the collars’. I believe because we have unanimity, the province will step up.” Collars to track the translocated deer will cost about $30,000. McCormick says that once the government agrees to provide funding for the collars, the pilot study should go ahead. “However, we will still be 18 months to two years out from substantial conclusions.” If the study provides positive results on translocation, provincial wildlife rules would allow a municipality to take out 100 per cent of the urban herd should they wish. For a cull, a municipality could only take out 30 per cent of animals. Coun. Darryl Oakley added that there has also been interest shown by a few universities to provide a student for a Masters thesis on the translocation study, which would also provide a bit of federal funding.

Recent studies in New Mexico and Utah suggest that translocation may not be as traumatic on deer as earlier studies suggested.
Murder trial set for February 2016 Townsman Staff
A murder trial stemming from the death of a local man has been tentatively set for February 2016. On March 8, 2013, RCMP found 47-yearold Jordon Lenard Lomsnes, who was de-
ceased, inside a Marysville residence. Two days later, police announced the arrest of Claudia Valerie De Assumpcao, his girlfriend who had been living with him at the time for the past year. De Assumpcao is facing charges of sec-
ond-degree murder and arson in relation to inhabited property. The three-week trial will be prefaced by a voire dire to determine the admissibility of evidence before jury selection begins.
Pick up after dogs From page 3 “It’s my belief that signs are not effective on their own,” said City CAO Scott Sommerville. “We need to go the full mile.” While Council discussed the fact that there was a risk of the garbage cans and bag dispensers being vandalized, all agreed something had to be
done about the problem. The issue was referred to staff to figure out the best location for garbage cans and bag dispensers on the trail. Mayor Don McCormick said in regard to bylaw enforcement that it had been picking up lately, with seven tickets for unsightly premises issued.

Letters to the Editor
For the Hunter: Part II
Re: MLA Bill Bennett’s letter, Friday, February 27, 2015. I acknowledge that Mr. Bennett has done some good work on behalf of his constituents. However, in the wildlife file, the resident hunter has become a second class citizen as the government caters to commercial interests. Mr. Bennett says we should “focus on growing wildlife populations”. How odd that he should say this when every hunter knows the ungulate population of our area has been and continues to be decimated as a result of the policies of this government. These changes, I have been told, have occurred in order to increase hunter opportunity. Soon there will be no hunter opportunity. Mr. Bennett says we should be “increasing habitat” for wildlife. Wildlife habitat destruction is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Forests, natural refuge areas for animals, are being depleted without replacement and domestic animals are grazing crown lands longer and more extensively than ever before. Mr. Bennett’s government has endorsed these policies. Mr. Bennett says, “As a member of cabinet, I support the allocation policy government has today”. The policy gives guide/ outfitters an unprecedented allocation, several times greater than our neighbours. Minister Thomson has never given a clear, supportable rational for changing the allocation. I am surprised that Mr. Bennett supports a decision that lacks appropriate evidence. In the absence of rationale, would I be out of line to suggest a hefty contribution ($100,000 apparently) to the Liberal party and a natural bias to an industry he has ties to are at the heart of the change? I am not trying to score “political points” as Mr. Bennett suggests of anyone who criticizes the decisions of government. It is my democratic right and duty to speak out,
to point out the inconsistencies and the flaws of this government to everyone, including those who have no stake in this file. All decisions should be examined; poor decisions need to be exposed. It is through effective criticism that we make our province a better place to live. It is my belief that this file is horribly tainted. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Thomson should follow the wishes of the majority of users of this resource, nearly 100,000 resident hunters, most who believe this change is unjustified. Their leadership on this issue has been particularly unhelpful to resident hunters and biased towards commercial interests. Return the allocation of wildlife to the pre-December levels; better still, reflect the allocations of our neighbours and give resident hunters 90 per cent of the wildlife allocation, not the 70 per cent as proposed. Rob Little Cranbrook
Anti-cull costs
The B Team for the ‘anti-cull’ movement has made another pre-emptive strike against Government deer traps. In my opinion, this mindless act of vandalism will do more harm to the ‘anti-cull’ movement than just about anything else that they could have done. This public relations work by the anti-cull night crawlers which includes fourteen ruined traps, police investigations and legal costs must be getting to close to six figures. I believe that I speak for most taxpayers when I say that we want all of this money paid back, with interest. Should we now be classing these people as Eco-Terrorists or just people that won’t face reality? Is the government just going to continue sitting on their hands watching our property being destroyed? Are they just hoping it will all go away? It won’t. It is time for our representatives in Vic-
toria to listen to the people who have been trained to deal with these wildlife management issues. Let them do their job. This talk about translocation or hazing is just putting off the inevitable. If it is a fact that the deer herds belong to the province, then take some responsibility rather than trying to download it to others. When the balance of nature gets out of whack as in the 37 deer that have been hit by cars within the city limits of Kimberley, it is more humane to deal with this problem in a swift manner than to watch these animals dragging their broken limbs along behind them or lying in the snow unable to move until they freeze to death. It is more humane to deal with the deer rather than watch while a wheelchair bound traveller and his service dog is attacked on his way home. Then how can we forget Ms. Winter from Toronto. Here she is again threatening all kinds of economic ruin to this part of Canada. It looks like she has added the wolf cull to her cause. From what I hear from conservation officers, hunters, guides and recreational users of the forest, there are more wolf tracks in the woods than any other animal. When management was suggested by those in the wildlife field, they were ignored and once again there is an issue. As with the deer, it’s all about good management. Done properly, all species will have a chance. Recently, in Alberta, a necessary cull was implemented that took 2,000 elk from a herd of 10,000. Inbreeding and disease had become grave problems within the herd. Over 800 hunters vied for hunting tags to help cull the 2,000 animals. I was watching to see if Ms Winter would strike up a dialog with the hunters. I can only imagine the reception she would have had. My advice to Ms Winter — look after your own back yard. In the west, we will look after our own. Bill Roberts Kimberley

Small claims disputes to go to online tribunal To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
Financial disputes involving less than $10,000 will soon be directed to an online “civil resolution tribunal,” in an effort by the B.C. government to keep them from clogging up the courts. The new tribunal will also provide a place to resolve strata disputes, which now have only the costly B.C. Supreme Court option if strata councils can’t resolve them, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. Anton presented legislation Tuesday to create the new tribunal, which is to come into effect later this year. She said it will begin as a voluntary option, and later a deposit will be required for those who want to go directly to court instead. Anton said B.C. is the first jurisdiction in the world to establish an online dispute resolution tribunal. The government estimates that 40,000 people a year will eventually use the tribunal. “The really big change for stratas is that there is now a place for minor strata issues to go to,” Anton said. “Everybody knows somebody who has been in a strata nightmare. Often it’s about something fairly minor, like a tree or a parking spot.
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton There hasn’t been a forum to have a resolution to those disputes.” The tribunal will operate in three stages. The first is an application submitted to a website describing the claim, with an opportunity for response from the other party. That service will be offered free,
Page 5
and includes information and self-help suggestions to settle the dispute without further intervention. If that fails, the second stage would bring in a mediator to seek an agreed settlement of the dispute. The third stage would be sending the dispute to a tribunal member for arbitration. Fees for the second two stages have not yet been established. Tony Gioventu, executive director of the non-profit Condominium Home Owners Association of B.C., welcomed the new approach. But he cautioned there will be a learning curve for strata councils. “Education will be essential and CHOA is committed to working with the strata community to ensure the creation of a system that provides good justice in a timely manner that works for all strata corporations,” Gioventu said. The B.C. government has used mediation before in an effort to relieve the load on provincial and B.C. Supreme Court. The Family Law Act of 2011 was designed to encourage out-of-court settlements of property and parental responsibility disputes when marriages and common-law relationships end.

Justin Trudeau’s Monday Manifesto
M
MICHAEL DEN TANDT
onday evening in Toronto, Justin Trudeau delivered a 40-minute speech in which he attempted to provide a coherent, internally consistent philosophical frame for all his future policies and decisions. It was, essentially, a manifesto. It’s fair to say that no Canadian politician has delivered a speech quite like this, in recent memory. De facto, Trudeau is attempting relieve the Conservative party of what remains of its intellectual high ground. In the process of calling out the Harper government for what he flatly termed anti-Muslim fear-mongering, the Liberal leader provided the most complete account yet of his political aspirations and motivation. Conservative partisans should not be surprised to discover that, once again, he has an eye to grabbing their lunch money; this time, the ideal of individual liberty itself. First point: This is classically Trudeauvian (Trudeauesque? Trudeauish?) thinking, harkening back to an era that long predates Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s 16 years as prime minister. P.E.T., the rabble-rousing young essayist, set the enhancement of individual liberty above every other political good, a passion that would eventually find expression in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in 1982. But Trudeau the Younger’s manifesto is also a naked political gambit. It re-stakes a claim to territory the Liberal party began to lose to the Tories a decade ago, especially in the vote-rich Toronto hinterland. Pluralism, in Trudeau’s view, is the soul of Canada and the essence of what makes it work. The trick, he says, is striking just the right balance between “individual liberty and collective identity.” He then explores the practical effect in
Canadian society of steadily expanding individual liberty — from language rights, to women’s rights, to minority rights across the board. Here the right to choose to wear the Muslim niqab or veil, becomes his rallying point. “You can dislike the niqab. You can hold it up as a symbol of oppression. You can try to convince your fellow citizens that it is a choice they ought not to make. This is a free country. Those are your rights. But those who would use the state’s power to restrict women’s religious freedom and freedom of expression indulge the very same repressive impulse that they profess to condemn.” This flows directly into the bits in the speech that have drawn headlines: First, Trudeau’s observation that state-sanctioned fear of “the other” is nothing new in Canada: “the Chinese head tax, the internment of Japanese and Italian Canadians during the Second World War, our turning away boats of Jewish or Punjabi refugees, our own history of slavery. No Irish need apply. We don’t speak French here, so speak white.” Next, the link he draws between these historical abuses and the Harper government’s recent monomaniacal focus on combatting Islamism, even as it pointedly battles a court order striking down a ban on wearing the niqab at citizenship ceremonies, even where identity is not at issue. “Across Canada, and especially in my home province, Canadians are being encouraged by their government to be fearful of one another,” Trudeau said. “For me, this is both unconscionable and a real threat to Canadian liberty.” The leader of a liberal democracy, the Liberal leader continued, “ought not to be in the business of telling women what they can wear on their head during public cere-
monies.” He’s right in that, most good libertarians would have to agree. It’s to his credit that he’s saying so clearly, even knowing the public mood may be against him. What’s most novel about Trudeau’s thesis, at root, is the claim it lays to upholding individual freedom against the encroachments of the state. It’s intellectual ground the Conservatives have been pleased to occupy, virtually without competition, since their Reform Party days. Most curious of all: Monday’s speech and the strategy underlying it have been in the works for months, according to Liberal party sources. But the hook was a series of recent Conservative missteps from a Facebook post caterwauling about a non-existent imminent attack on the West Edmonton Mall, to Immigration Minister Chris Alexander’s conflation of the hijab (headscarf) and the niqab, to Conservative MP John Williamson’s facepalm-inducing recent musings about “whities” and “brown people” that together convey the impression that, contrary to all its messaging of the past two decades, this Conservative party may not be friendly to minorities. Clearly, the PMO now perceives some peril here: Late Monday, staffers sent out an email reiterating past assertions by Jason Kenney and by the PM of warm support for Canada’s million-strong Muslim community. The question is whether it will be enough. Intolerance of minorities is a 35-year-old chink in the Western conservative movement’s armour, which long held it back in Ontario. It’s odd indeed to see this dialectic re-emerge now, long past the time when most had thought it dead and gone. National Post

Back in the win column Veteran Vetterl guides Ice to victory over Hurricanes Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Kootenay Ice forward Austin Vetterl made the Lethbridge Hurricanes pay for a costly error Tuesday night, cashing in on a turnover to give his team a 2-0 lead late in the first period. Vetterl’s shorthanded tally stood as the eventual game-winning goal in a 4-1 Kootenay Ice triumph over the Lethbridge Hurricanes in front of 2,000 fans at Western Financial Place. The win was a critical one as it kept the Ice one point ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings for the first wild-card seed in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. The best part about Vetterl’s 11th goal of the season? He didn’t even realize it was the deciding marker. “I didn’t know it was the game-winning goal,” Vetterl said with a laugh Tuesday night. “I came off the bench on the penalty kill. A guy wheeled from the net, kind of with his head down. He kind of looked up at the last second and tried to cut to the middle really quick and he lost his balance. I turned and luckily, right before he was about to
chip it up the ice I lifted his stick and kind of kicked it with my skate. “Chynner [Ryan Chynoweth] skated on to it and he obviously made a nice pass to me and I put it into the empty net. It was an easy goal.”
“He’s a leader in the room, he talks in the room. He plays hard. He scores goals...He’s a lot to this team and he’s a great player.” Ice forward Austin Vetterl on teammate Luke Philp Though Vetterl’s shorthanded marker may have come easily courtesy a two-on-none with Chynoweth, getting pucks past former Kootenay Ice goaltender Jayden Sittler was not an easy task the rest of the night. Sittler earned the start in net for the Hurricanes Tuesday and made a handful of spectacular saves, including two of which could arguably be save-of-theyear candidates. Looking for his second of the night early in the second period, Vet-

terl snuck in alone on Sittler. Just as the Red Deer native appeared down and out, he threw an old-fashioned pad stack to close up the net before getting his glove on Vetterl’s attempt. Even though the stop prevented a home-team goal, 2,000 home-team fans applauded Sittler’s efforts. “You had to get that puck and you had to put it upstairs quick or he was going to get across and he was going to make the save tonight,” Vetterl said of Sittler. “Props to him.” The 6-foot-1 netminder kept his team in the game all night long. By the time the final buzzer sounded, he had turned aside 42 shots. If his second-period save on Vetterl wasn’t enough for the highlight reel, Sittler did his best to top it in the third period. With Ice forwards Tim Bozon and Sam Reinhart bearing down and no defender in sight, Sittler did all he could to stick with the high-flying stars as they exchanged passes before Reinhart sent a shot low along the ice. Despite sliding to his right and away from Reinhart, Sittler stretched out before managing to trap the puck and keep

his team within two goals. Once again, fans in Western Financial Place voiced their appreciation for the visiting goaltender’s efforts. But the Sittler wall could only withstand so much battering, eventually giving way to Jaedon Descheneau, who deposited his 30th goal of the season moments later. The Edmonton native provided the Ice with a 3-0 lead and put the game out of reach for the Hurricanes. Ice forward Luke Philp was the first to beat Sittler Tuesday night,

Forward Austin Vetterl (#15) powers the puck towards the Lethbridge Hurricanes crease Tuesday night. Vetterl registered the game-winning goal and added an assist as the Ice beat the Hurricanes 4-1.
Following a six-game victory over the Fernie Ghostriders in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division final, the fun isn’t about to stop for the Kimberley Dynamiters. Having worked their way past the Ghostriders, the Dynamiters head to Fruitvale for the bestof-seven Kootenay Conference final, with Game 1 set for Wednesday night against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. “We started preparing as soon as the buzzer went [to end Game 6 against Fernie],” said Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer Monday. “We don’t want to stop at a division win. We want to go all the way and I think that’s been our goal since day one.” This is the Dynamit-
ers’ first trip to the conference final since falling to the Nitehawks in a 3-0 sweep during the 2004-05 season. Game 2 goes Thursday in Beaver Valley. Both game times are set for 8 p.m. (Mountain). The series shifts back to Kimberley for Games 3 and 4, March 14 and 15, respectively. Puck drop at the Kimberley Civic Centre for Games 3 and 4 is 7:30 p.m. (Mountain). If necessary, the series returns to Fruitvale March 17 for Game 5. Dates and times for Games 6 and 7 are still to be determined. “They know how to win,” said Nitros head coach Jerry Bancks. “It’s going to be important for us to believe in ourselves.”
opening the scoring 1:17 into the festivities. Philp’s 29th goal of the campaign was a nice one as he picked the far side of the net behind Sittler. It was a memorable tally for the 19-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., as it also registered as the 200th point of his WHL career. Philp is the 14th player in Ice franchise history to hit the 200-point plateau. “I had no idea,” Philp said. “It’s just another goal, I guess. I wasn’t too sure, but I’m pretty happy to do it.” Through 220 career WHL games, all with the Kootenay Ice, Philp has tallied 81 goals and 120 assists for 201 points. He established a career high for assists with 48 helpers this season. His career high of 31
goals, established during the 2013-14 season, is well within reach as he sits at 29 goals with five games remaining. “He means everything. He’s a leader in the room, he talks in the room,” Vetterl said of Philp. “He plays hard. He scores goals. He’s on the first power play and second line. He’s a lot to this team and he’s a great player.” The Hurricanes busted Wyatt Hoflin’s shutout attempt with 1:04 remaining in regulation as Giorgio Estephan cashed in shorthanded. Bozon rounded out the scoring with an empty-net goal in the dying moments. Hoflin finished the night with 26 saves for his 33rd win of the season. Heading into Tuesday’s tilt, the native of
Sherwood Park, Alta., was 50 stops shy of the Kootenay Ice record for saves in a season (1,724) established by Tim Winters during the franchise’s inaugural season in Edmonton (1996-97). The 20-year-old puck-stopper is now within 24 saves of the mark and could surpass it when the Kootenay Ice host the Medicine Hat Tigers at Western Financial Place Friday night. Notes: The Kootenay Ice scratched D Bryan Allbee, D Dylan Overdyk, F Austin Wellsby and D Tanner Faith (shoulder, three to five months) Tuesday… The Lethbridge Hurricanes went without G Brandon Kegler, D Andrew Nielsen (upper body), F Jaeger White (upper body) and D Brandon Kennedy (lower body)...

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our early 40s and have been married for six years. Two years after we married, I discovered that “Becky” was having an affair with a co-worker. They both lost their jobs over it. We tried marriage counseling, and it seemed to help. From what I could get out of Becky, they were intimate only once. But I’ve never felt that the whole truth came out. It was the Other Man’s girlfriend, “Jenny,” who discovered the affair. I recently decided to contact Jenny to see whether she could supply the missing pieces. We agreed to meet over coffee, and I found out that she and the Other Man broke up. Jenny informed me that, contrary to what Becky told me, the affair lasted another 18 months after we discovered what was going on. But, Annie, here’s the new problem: After meeting several times, Jenny and I have developed feelings for each other and find ourselves in a situation similar to that of my wife and her ex-boyfriend. I know that two wrongs don’t make a right. I also believe that a marriage can be saved after an affair. But Becky’s lies are always in the back of my head, and now I don’t know what to do. -- Need Help in Jersey Dear Jersey: You have found a kindred spirit in Jenny because you have been through a shared experience. You also still harbor resentment toward Becky, and whether or not you recognize it, this is a convenient way to get even. Do you want to save your marriage? If so, stop seeing Jenny, get back into counseling with Becky, tell her you know the affair was more serious than she admitted, and ask her to come clean so you can truly work through this. If she refuses, or if you are still convinced she is lying, you might be better off apart. But don’t use Jenny as an excuse to get there. Dear Annie: Could you influence my college-educated husband to stop licking his fingers when he counts his money? He refuses to acknowledge how disgusting this is. My stomach turns when he opens his wallet and I hear him lick his thumb and forefinger to get bills out. I also have seen the disgusted look on the cashier’s face when she accepts his “licked” money. Would you please tell him how unhealthy this is? -- Disgusted Wife Dear Wife: In a study last year, researchers at New York University tested dollar bills and found 3,000 different kinds of bacteria, some of which can cause gastric ulcers, pneumonia, food poisoning, staph infections and acne. They also found fungi and plant pathogens, DNA from horses and dogs, and minute traces of anthrax and diphtheria. Lots of people have already touched the money your husband licks. He is putting all of their bacteria, not to mention his own and whatever is brewing in his wallet, into his mouth. As an added incentive, you might tell him you don’t intend to kiss that mouth until he brushes his teeth and gargles with an antiseptic mouthwash. Yuck. Dear Annie: I have a comment for “Also Lonely in Chesapeake, Va.,” the 29-year-old virgin who hasn’t found the right guy: Stop advertising that you are a virgin. You may be attracting the wrong kind of men. When I was in the dating game, a friend remarked that I seemed to have a checklist of things I wanted in a partner. So I stopped looking for a potential mate and started having fun with potential friends. In the process, I met a guy who enjoyed some of the same things I did. It allowed us to get to know each other. We now have been married for 15 years. And guess what? He was a virgin.

CALL: 426-5201 EXT. 202 Nancy Wieler (nee Fabbro) 1957 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015 It is with great sorrow and sadness that the family of Nancy Wieler mourn her passing on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 58 years of age. Nancy grew up in the Trail area and moved to Cranbrook in 1990. Her career was entrepreneurial and business management based with experience in the car rental, travel, heavy duty equipment and commercial real estate industries. Her attention to detail, drive and business sense contributed to her success. Nancy was forced into an early retirement due to an ongoing battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis, but she remained active with continuation of some business that she truly enjoyed. Determination and strong will enabled Nancy to fulfil her passion and artistic side during retirement, which included painting, quilting and many other various crafts that showed her true ability and talent. Nancy loved making family and friends comfortable with memorable surroundings and home cooked meals when visiting her places in Cranbrook and on Kootenay Lake. Her best days were always the ones when she was surrounded by those she loved. Nancy is survived by her children Blake Knull, Lee (Cayley) Knull and Lisa (Adrian) Jones; her grandchildren Jordan, Sienna, Cameron, Isaac and Ashton; her brother Nino (Lorry) Fabbro and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. Nancy was predeceased by her husband Stan Wieler in 2012, daughter Stacey Wieler in 2007, mother Dorina Fabbro in 2005 and sister Rosanna Fabbro in 2005. Nancy also leaves behind many wonderful friends including Darrell Langille, who she has known since high school and more recently formed a strong relationship and bond with. A memorial gathering and celebration of Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life for family and close friends will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2015 anytime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook (2200 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2nd Street South). Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

NSA, Justice Department facing lawsuit from civil liberties group Julie t Linderman Associated Press
BALTIMORE - The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups sued the National Security Agency and the Justice Department on Tuesday, challenging the government’s practice of collecting personal information from vast amounts of data harvested directly from the Internet’s infrastructure. The suit filed in federal court in Maryland accuses the NSA of scooping up virtually everything sent via the Internet between Americans and people outside the United States, and then scouring it to identify and monitor foreign intelligence targets. A similar challenge was turned away by the U.S. Supreme Court, which said the plaintiffs couldn’t prove they’d been harmed. This lawsuit says that’s changed since the government confirmed the surveillance after its scope and details were leaked by former government contractor Edward Snowden in 2013. This “upstream” surveillance of the Internet’s “backbone” of digital networks reaches far beyond any individuals the government is targeting to combat terror attacks, and violates constitutional protections of free speech and privacy, the plaintiffs say.
Edward Snowden ACLU staff attorney Patrick Toomey said Tuesday that Snowden’s leaks changed the whole legal paradigm. “We believe the Snowden disclosures will make an immense difference in how this case will play out,” Toomey said. “Prior to Snowden, the public had never heard of upstream surveillance. But based on those disclosures and what the government has acknowledged itself, we know the government isn’t just surveilling its targets, its surveilling everyone.” The suit’s other plaintiffs include The Wikimedia Foundation, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International USA, the Rutherford Institute, PEN American Center, The Nation magazine, the National Association of Criminal Defence Lawyers, Global Fund for Women and Washington Office on Latin America. Wikipedia was included on an NSA slide
Snowden leaked in 2013 that demonstrated the agency’s interest in monitoring communications on certain websites. That frightened Wikipedia contributors, particularly in countries where human rights aren’t respected, whose anonymity is essential to the free flow of information, founder Jimmy Wales said. The Wikimedia Foundation - which hosts 12 websites including Wikipedia that received more than 248 billion page requests between October 2013 and October 2014 - is directly threatened by the fear that the U.S. government can share the surveillance information it gathers with intelligence agencies in other countries, Wales wrote Tuesday. “Surveillance erodes the original promise of the Internet: an open space for collaboration and experimentation, and a place free from fear,” he wrote.
Chechnya’s leader pledges loyalty to Putin amid Nemtsov murder probe Vl adimir Isachenkov Associated Press
MOSCOW - Chechnya’s strongman on Tuesday reaffirmed an unwavering loyalty to President Vladimir Putin after receiving a medal seen by some as a move to assuage the feisty Chechen leader after one of his officers was arrested as a suspect in the slaying of a Russian opposition figure. Ramzan Kadyrov thanked Putin for awarding him the Order of Honor, one of Russia’s highest decorations, saying that it would be “the lightest task” for him to
sacrifice his life for the Russian leader. “We are infantrymen of the president of Russia!” he added. Some observers say the arrest of five suspects accused of involvement in the Feb. 27 slaying of Putin’s prominent critic, Boris Nemtsov, could strain Kremlin’s relations with Kadyrov, who has run Chechnya like his own fiefdom while relying on federal subsidies. One of the suspects, Zaur Dadaev, was a senior officer in Chechnya’s police force. A judge said during Saturday’s hearing that he confessed to the crime, but
Dadaev said in comments carried by the daily Moskovsky Komsomolets Tuesday that he was not guilty. The newspaper quoted him as telling rights activists who visited him in prison that he hadn’t been given a chance to plead innocent. Following his arrest, Kadyrov praised Dadaev as a brave soldier and a deeply religious man. The Chechen leader also hailed another suspect, who blew himself up with a grenade when police came to arrest him at his apartment in Chechnya’s regional capital, Grozny.

Jury in Boston Marathon trial sees photos of bomber’s handwritten note Associated Press
BOSTON - Jurors in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Tuesday saw photographs of a blood-stained, hand-scrawled note speckled with bullet holes inside the boat he was captured in days after the deadly 2013 attack. Prosecutors consider the note a confession and say it refers to the motive for the attack carried out by Tsarnaev and his late brother, Tamerlan. In the note, written in pencil on the inside walls of the boat, Tsarnaev appears to decry U.S. actions in Muslim countries and says he is jealous of his brother because he is dead and now in paradise. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died following a violent confrontation with police during a getaway attempt four days after the bombings. Dzhokzar, then 19, was found hiding in a boat parked in a yard in Watertown. “I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions,” he wrote, according to the photos shown to the jury by prosecutors. The note also said: “The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that. As a M (bullet hole) I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all. ...” “Now I don’t like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said (bullet hole) it is allowed.” Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured April 15, 2013, when two bombs exploded near the marathon finish line.
Number of measles cases in Quebec jumps to 80 northeast of Montreal Associated Press
JOLIETTE, Que. - There are reports of a spike in the number of people with measles northeast of Montreal. The reports say the number of cases in the Lanaudiere region is up to 80, a significant jump from 32 at the end of February. The health department in the region is refusing to answer queries about the number. A staff member said the situation was evolving but would not confirm any figures until a news conference scheduled for Wednesday morning in Joliette. The CBC says all of the cases involve unvaccinated children and adults and are traced to an outbreak at a California amusement park. All the Quebec cases have been centred in the Lanaudiere region and are part of one chain of transmission that started when a person who became infected at Disneyland returned to the province.
UN says global campaign has reduced mother and child death rates Associated Press
A new U.N. report says a $60 billion campaign to improve the health of women and children has led to a decrease in maternal and child death rates in all 49 targeted countries. The report released Tuesday cited improvements in the targeted countries including nearly one million new health workers, a 193 per cent increase in treatments to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, and a 25 per cent rise in skilled care at births and in post-natal care for women. But it also said that in 6.3 million children under the age of five died in 2013, the latest year for which data is available, or more than 17,000 a day. The campaign raised $60 million between 2010 and 2015 of which $26 billion is still available for use, the report said.

Body of Canadian soldier returns home Canadian Press
TRENTON, Ont. The flag-draped casket carrying the body of a Canadian soldier killed in Iraq arrived at an Ontario military base on Tuesday afternoon and began the journey along the “Highway of Heroes” to Toronto. Sgt. Andrew Joseph Doiron was honoured in a repatriation ceremony at Canadian Forces Base Trenton attended by Gov. Gen. David Johnston, Defence Minister Jason Kenney and other dignitaries. Dozens of people also gathered outside the base to pay their respects. Hunter Vickers, 19, came from nearby Belleville, saying her family’s military background has made her appreciate soldiers’ hard work and sacrifice. “I haven’t missed a repatriation ceremony yet and I’m not about to, regardless of the cir-
cumstances,” she said. Reg Kirkland, who served in the military for 33 years before retiring, said “it’s something we should all come out to if we can.” “I try to make them all,” he said. After the ceremony, a motorcade carrying Doiron’s casket headed west to Toronto, where an autopsy will be conducted. That stretch of highway became known as the “Highway of Heroes” during the Canadian mission in Afghanistan. People began to line the route hours in advance, with some setting up Canadian flags on highway overpasses in the Toronto area even before the ceremony got underway. Doiron was shot and killed in what has been described as a friendly fire incident in the darkness of night as his special forces unit was returning to an observa-

Officials with the Kurdish peshmerga have blamed the Canadians for the shooting, a claim Canadian officials have denied. Kurdish officials say their forces, allies of Canada in the fight against ISIL, opened fire
on the unsuspecting Canadians after they showed up at the front line unannounced. Canadian officials have said the Canadians were not at fault and had been at the same position earlier in the day and informed the Kurds they would return
later that night. Three Canadians were wounded in the firefight. One of them was evacuated to Germany while the other two were still in the Iraqi city of Irbil for treatment of more minor injuries.
Minister scoffs at anti-terrorism bill concerns Jim Bronskill Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney is trying to assure Canadians that proposed anti-terrorism measures won’t run roughshod over civil liberties. In his testimony Tuesday at committee hearings examining the federal legislation, Blaney dismissed concerns the new provisions would allow the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to squelch or infiltrate environmental protests that fall outside the letter of the law. The planned measures are needed to protect the public
from extremists who hate Canadian values, Blaney said during a meeting of the House of Commons public safety committee. The international jihadi movement has “declared war on Canada” and other countries around the world, Blaney told MPs Tuesday as they began hearing testimony on the federal legislation. The committee plans to hear from more than 50 witnesses over the next few weeks. The Conservatives brought in the bill, which would broaden CSIS’s mandate, following the murders of two Canadian
soldiers last October. The legislation would give the spy service the ability to actively derail terror plots, make it easier for police to limit the movements of a suspect, expand no-fly list powers and take aim at terrorist propaganda. In addition, the bill would relax the sharing of federally held information about activity that undermines the security of Canada. In a brief this week, Amnesty International Canada added its voice to those who say the bill would go beyond genuine security threats to ensnare
those who hold demonstrations that are technically illegal. Neither the new disruptive powers nor the information-sharing provisions apply to “lawful” advocacy, protest or dissent, but some fear the bill could be used against activists who demonstrate without an official permit or despite a court order. Blaney denied the bill would allow CSIS to trample liberties, telling the committee he wanted to “set the record straight.” “These allegations are completely false and, frankly, ridiculous.”
Clinton: I should have used government email Ken Thomas Julie Pace Associated Press
Hillary Rodham Clinton conceded Tuesday that she should have used government email as secretary of state and acknowledged she had destroyed tens of thousands of emails in her private account that she described as personal in nature. Her email practices have raised questions about whether she fully complied with federal laws requiring government officials to preserve written communications involving official business. Republicans have said Clinton avoided transparency and committed an ethical lapse. The controversy has upended Clinton’s careful blueprint for the rollout of her 2016 presidential campaign. The clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Clinton had planned to spend March touting her work on women’s issues and giving a handful of paid speeches before
Hillary Clinton announcing her candidacy in early April. Clinton tried to stick to that plan but as criticism from Republicans mounted and Democratic allies started publicly pushing Clinton to address the matter, her team hastily arranged Tuesday’s brief news conference. “I fully complied by every rule I was
governed by,” Clinton said in a 20-minute news conference that marked her first comments on the matter. The former secretary of state described her decision to rely exclusively on her private account as a matter of convenience and a way to avoid carrying two devices. She said she had not used her personal email to discuss any classified information. Clinton said her server would remain private. She said she had exchanged 60,000 emails, half of which were personal and were discarded. “I had no reason to save them,” Clinton said of the personal emails. She described the destroyed communications as ones related to her daughter’s wedding, her mother’s funeral, her yoga routine and other matters. “Everything that would be in any way connected to work is now in possession in the State Department,” Clinton said.
