The City of Kimberley is currently negotiating its fee for service contract with the Chamber of Commerce, and there was a wide ranging discussion this past Monday evening at the regular Council meeting as to what the contract should entail, or if there should be a grant rather than a contract. Council was provided with a report from Director of Economic Development Kevin Wilson, which summarized Chamber activities, successes and where more work could be done.

RDEK approves Rails 2 Trails funding Tre vor Cr awley

The North Star Rails 2 Trails Society is getting a significant amount of funding from the RDEK to upgrade and maintain the paved trail spanning between Cranbrook and Kimberley. The Regional District voted to approve $23,000 from the Community Works Fund at their monthly meeting last Friday, which will go towards improving access to the trail itself and some interpretive signage. John Mandryk, a director with the North Star Rails 2 Trails Society, says the funding will be going to small, but important projects. One such project will include the parking area around Shadow Mountain.

The Rails 2 Trails is one of the area’s most wellused and popular recreation assets. “We want to make the area around Shadow Mountain a little more

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Kimberley hosts PeeWee Provincial Championships - Kimberley Minor Hockey is very excited to be the host of the 2015 Peewee Tier 4 Provincial Championships. Hockey teams from five different regions of BC will be descending on the City from March 14th through the 18th. The Championships start with a banquet at the Kimberley Conference Centre on the evening of the 14th, and culminate with the Championship Game on the 18th Games will be played at the Civic Centre starting at 8 am and running until 8 pm every day. Check the Daily Bulletin for the schedule of games. The City of Kimberley is a proud sponsor of this exciting event. Come on out to welcome our guests and to cheer on the future of hockey! FireSmart Communities Program NEEDS YOU! - The FireSmart Communities Program is designed to encourage self-organized groups of residents to take the lead in implementing solutions for wildfire safety on their own properties. The Program provides people living in wildfire prone areas with the knowledge and organizational means to significantly reduce their neighbourhood’s vulnerability to wildfire. This is achieved by planning and working together with the support of a local wildfire professional. If you are interested in learning more about the program and/or signing up, visit http://kimberley.ca/news/firesmart-communities-program-needs-you Urban Deer – Kimberley’s urban deer population consists of about 100 deer, which has been determined by the Urban Deer Advisory Committee to be a sustainable amount. Therefore, no cull will be considered for this year. Measures such as revised bylaws to allow greater backyard fence heights and to discourage feeding appear to have reduced attractants and been effective at reducing the population from 240 deer to current levels. The City has provided education to prevent deer/human conflict to school age children, and signage is placed where doe and fawn have been reported. The City is working with other local municipalities on a pilot study on translocation of deer, to provide other options to reduce deer populations.

Council opts for fee for service contract with Chamber

From page 1 “We wouldn’t task other organizations to account for money before we give it. We ask for an full accounting after.” Middlebrook said she felt it should remain a contract where the

Chamber does required things for the funds. Coun. Kitto said with a grant, you still hold an organization to task or they don’t get the money the next year. McCormick said he agreed with both points. He also added that the

Chambers request for an additional $14,500 had been denied. “Every municipality subsidizes its Chamber,” he said. “In other communities the visitor centre is run by the Chamber. In our case the $32,000 for running the

visitor centre goes to Tourism Kimberley.” The Chamber currently has 138 paid memberships, the Mayor said, and while the push is always on to have more members, 200 would likely be the maximum.

Middlebrook noted that when the economy wasn’t great, businesses looked for ways to cut back and Chamber memberships could be one of the ways they do so if they don’t see the value for their money. “It’s all about accountability,”

Goodwin said. “The current way we do it (fee for service contract) at least we require them to be accountable.” In the end Council decided to continue with a fee for service contract.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 5 IS INVITING ALL THREE YEAR OLDS TO SCHOOL! READY, SET, LEARN is an initiative that recognizes that families need

positive connections with the school system and community agencies that provide relevant resources and information. All public elementary schools in Southeast Kootenay School District will be offering an opportunity for all three year olds to come to their neighbourhood school (children born in 2012 who have turned three by the date of the RSL event). This event is a partnership between the province, the district, and the early childhood teachers in Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood, Jaffray, and Elkford. Ready, Set, Learn will include opportunities such as a tour of the school, a visit to the kindergarten classroom, activities, refreshments, displays or presentations by school children. Parents and caregivers will receive helpful tips for supporting their preschooler’s learning and development. They will also be provided with information about local services available. Each child will receive a learning kit. Four year olds, those children who will be entering kindergarten in September 2016, will be invited to Kindergarten Orientation in their neighborhood school.

Kimberley FOCUS was pleased to hand out $1000 in grants this past week, with $500 going to the Kimberley Loan Cupboard, accepted by Louanne, and $500 to the McKim Breakfast Program, accepted by Barb. Handing out the funds are Joan and Noweata. FOCUS thanks Kimberley Overwaitea for their generous assistance with the weekly Thursday meat draws at the Elks Club, where the funds are raised.

Platzl walkway coming down From page 1 A report from the Manager of Parks and Recreation Dave Clarke advised that the structure be removed and then gave Council three choices; replace it with a similar structure, replace it with a redesigned elevated structure or leave it open and add a defined entry structure at each end. It was not recommended it be repaired, as it was beyond that. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s moving too

slow,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. “I would support the structure being removed and, in the budget process, we figure out a new entrance. It’s time to clear this up and work with building owners. Summer is coming and we should be on this.” Coun. Nigel Kitto said he agreed removing it was important but said a measured approach on what to replace it with was still needed. Coun. Bev Middle-

brook noted that one of the replacement options was to have it look similar to the new timber-frame walking bridges in town. If affordable, that would be nice, she said. Coun. Sandra Roberts suggested Council move ahead with removal of the structure as soon as possible, and working towards replacement, which Coun. Kent Goodwin supported. “I support that,” Oakley said. “But it’s just a

piece of what I’d like to see done. The Tyee bridges — I know I didn’t support them at the time — but people really like them. I hear that a lot. But we need to make a decision. Very quickly a construction season will be lost.” There was also some discussion about putting similar entrance structures at all Platzl entrances, but that was tabled until a future date.

RDEK provides Rails to Trails funding From Page 3 “So access from the parking lot, which will expand the opportunity for folks who are in wheelchairs or walkers to experience the trials. “We hope to put an overlook adjacent to that area so people get a view of the valley down to the river, so it’s a neat little project.” Additionally, Mandryk says the funding will also include pavement bases for signage and tables. “The pavement or stonework around the existing kiosk is to allow people to be able to go out

there—again, people who are less ambulatory—to take their bikes out without having to cross gravel or uneven surfaces. “It’ll let people access the information areas a lot better.” There are also plans in the works to create some interpretive signage. “We’re designing a signage program to enhance the trail experience, historical sites, special locations along the trail,” continued Mandryk. “We hope to incorporate some First Nations culture in that as well, in terms of historical areas and route-ways for the Aboriginal people as well.”

The North Star Rails 2 Trails Society gets annual funding from Cranbrook and Kimberley, but that goes more towards trail maintenance. “It’s really great to have the RDEK as a contributor with this and coming on board,” said Mandryk. “They’ve helped us previous community initiative funding, which we use largely for maintenance projects, but this is more capital cost intensive.” The society also gets support from service groups like the Sunrise Rotary Club and has received funding from the Gran Fondo and the Columbia Basin Trust.

Projects support social well-being in Columbia Basin Submitted

Twenty-eight projects that support social well-being have been approved to receive over $1.3 million in funding through Columbia Basin Trust’s Social Grants. “These projects clearly illustrate the strength we have in our communities, with organizations of various sizes working on many levels to improve the lives of residents,” said Liz Gillis,

Columbia Basin Trust Acting Manager, Social Initiatives. “We’re pleased to be able to support their efforts, which in turn helps us deliver on our goals of addressing systemic social issues, being responsive to community priorities and solutions, and strengthening social sector capacity.” One of the successful recipients is the Blue Lake Forest Education

Society. Its project involves piloting a fourday summer camp for Basin youth with special needs, which includes funding additional staff, providing additional training and developing a peer mentorship program. “Blue Lake was approached by a number of concerned parents looking for specialized camping experiences for their children,” said

Todd Hebert, Executive Director. “With few, if any, special needs outdoor camping facilities in the Basin, Blue Lake decided to pursue the opportunity to assist these families with a locally organized program.”

Guilty pleas in 2013 home invasions Townsman Staff

A member of a group of four individuals involved in a pair of home invasions in December 2013 pleaded guilty to a number of charges on Tuesday in Cranbrook Supreme Court. Andrew Monnette changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on 10 charges—five in the first incident on Dec. 18, 2013 and five more on a separate incident eight days later. Those charges will be stayed, while Monnette also pleaded guilty to a robbery charge from a third incident in April 2014, which will be knocked down to a lesser assault charge. Monnette appeared by video from a facility in Kamloops. He has been

in custody since April 2014. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Monday, April 13, 2015. The charges stem from incidents back in December 2013. Three people wearing masks and carrying firearms forced their way into the home on Dec. 18 on 1st Avenue South, where there was an altercation with residents and the theft of electronic devices. Then, on Boxing Day, another home invasion happened on 6th Street North in Cranbrook. Four people entered a residence carrying a long gun, a shot gun, an Uzistyle firearm, brass knuckles and a baton. They demanded money and drugs, but

stole several electronic devices. Police served three search warrants at residences in Cranbrook and Kimberley, where the stolen property was located and identified. In one of the searches in Cranbrook, police recovered the firearms used in the home invasions—a shotgun and a uzi-style firearm that was actually a BB gun. Terrance Allan and Megan Sands—two members involved in the home invasions—were earlier sentenced to eight years and five years, respectively, back in April 2014. A fourth person involved—Jay Hills—was sentenced to three and a half years in May 2014.

IT’S POTHOLE SEASON!

Remember way back in 2015? “Potholes have begun their annual spring appearance on the streets of Cranbrook and are sure to become a hot topic of discussion for residents.” City of Cranbrook press release.

“R

emember way back in 2015?” I asked my hunting companion, as we waited in our blind just off 11th Avenue. “Back when we expected someone else to deal with these potholes? “I do,” he said. “Back when the City announced it was pothole season, they expected us to just report potholes.” “Ha ha,” I said. “And now it’s a real East Kootenay general open season.” My hunting companion glassed 11th Avenue with his binoculars. “I got one,” he said. “It’s about 50 metres north. Hand me the rifle.” He drew a bead, and after a long second of concentration, fired. “Missed,” he said. “D-- my eyes, but these things are low to the ground.” “They’re wily in this part of the world,” I said. “Let’s move down to 4th Street. They’re thick on the ground there. Get out your compass.” We started moving through the silent predawn streets of town, off towards 4th Street. It was pothole season, a time that quickened the pulse of every red-blooded East Kootenay outsdoorsman. My companion and I were talking about the ongoing argument between resident hunters and guide outfitters over pothole allotment as we moved into the shadow of the pothole patcher, a gargantuan machine the size of a big ship, now broken down and rust-

ing by the Amy Woodlands schoolyard. “I was there when they fired that thing up,” my hunting companion said. “That’s a day no one will ever forget. No one factored in the significant over-design.” “They say you can see the track it left from space,” I said, gazing up to the top of the machine, leaning askew from what common lore referred to as “the patching accident.” “We’re getting close to 4th Street,” my hunting companion said. “Look at all the pothole sign.” We hunkered down at 4th Avenue and 8th Street and Barry waited. My companion Coulter glassed the pavement again. “”Pothole at 3 o’clock,” he murmured. “It’s close — real close.” “My turn,” I said, and raised the rifle. I pulled the trigger … “Oh man, you shot right overtop of it!” my companion exclaimed. I examined the gun. “I think the sights need adjusting,” I said. “Let’s go down to 2nd Street. That’s always good.” “Can’t believe this luck we’re having,” my hunting companion said as we wandered north. “As in zero.” He continued: “Still, it’s better than that pothole ‘wrangling’ season they announced. Remember when they did that? When citizens were to go out and wrangle potholes? Some kind of way of engaging the community!” “Dude!” I said, rolling up my trouser legs and shirt sleeves, and showing him the scar tissue from the pavement burns. “I took part in that season — twice!” On the way to 2nd Street my companion and I got separated for several hours by a

herd of urban deer, so large it took all that time to amble aimlessly by. He sat on one side, I sat on the other, sucking at my canteen, getting sunburnt. Finally they passed, and my companion and I rejoined each other. “Lucky you, hanging out in Rotary Park,” I said. “You look like a lobster,” he said. “Forgot your hat, eh?” “C’mon, let’s get something,” I said. “I couldn’t handle another wasted outing,” like all those days last year!” We reached 2nd Street. “Perfect,” I said. “Look at how it rises up. Give me those glasses!” “Got one,” I said, after scanning 2nd Street. “Right in the middle, 75 metres!” “Steady … steady,” my companion muttered, as he raised the gun to his shoulder — “One … two …” “Wait!” I shouted. “It’s got a radio tag!” “Oh man!” My companion groaned as he lowered the gun. “Why do they do that!” “It was part of the big translocation experiment,” I said. “Don’t you remember that? “I was out of town, working on the Keystone Pipeline.” “They radio-tagged them to see where they reappeared after they fixed them,” I said. “And where would they re-appear?” “In the same place as before.” The sun was setting. “Let’s get out of here,” my companion said. Another wasted day in pothole season. On the way home I stumbled over a crack in the sidewalk. “I’d better report that to the City,” I said to myself.

Opinion/Events

The Kimberley Public Health Nurses would like to thank the Kimberley Health Auxiliary for generously donating funds which allowed us to purchase a new hospital grade breast pump. Kimberley Public Health Nurses provide support to mothers and families in the home after the birth of a new baby and often this involves breastfeeding support. Both the World Health Organization and Interior Health recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant’s life. Breastfeeding is easy and affordable and it provides infants with the best food option, which is breast milk. In some cases however, breastfeeding must be delayed or is not possible due to prematurity, illness, anatomy, or choice and mothers choose to pump or “express” breast milk. In these cases Public Health can provide a pump to the mothers so that they can ensure an adequate breast milk supply for their baby. Breast milk contains all of the nutrients that babies require for healthy growth and development. It contains antibodies and enzymes that are associated with lowering the

risk of acute illnesses such as ear infections, respiratory infections, and diarrhea. Breast milk is associated with a lower incidence of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. Some of the long-term benefits of breast milk include a lower risk of developing certain chronic disease such as diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and childhood obesity, and a lower risk of developing allergies. Besides building an emotional bond and attachment between mom and baby, lactation or breast milk production actually has many advantages for the mother too. Mothers who breastfeed or express breast milk will bleed less post-partum and will have a lower risk for breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis. A couple of other bonuses for moms include shedding a few extra pounds more quickly and saving money as they don’t need to spend any on formula. On behalf of the Kimberley Public Health Nurses

Intimidated?

Recently we have seen a handful of protesters picket the deer cull in Cranbrook and

place full page adds in the local paper. Look at these ads and their web site and you will see that they also want you to call in the location of deer traps and a trust fund set up to assist vandals with legal counsel who destroy these traps. Eco terrorist groups that promote criminal activity should not be given air time in our local radio stations and newspapers. People that vandalize government property are criminals, regardless of the motive. 70 per cent of the residents who bothered to vote supported the deer cull and City council should not bow down to this type of bully tactic. City Council is setting a very dangerous precedence by dropping the deer cull after several traps were destroyed. Council should not encourage vandalism and criminal activity to be a tool for special interest groups to get their way. Scenario: A skate or water park is going to be constructed across the street from your house, sneak in at night and destroy it and the city will change their mind on the location, is this what we want?

In supporting the Bill, Mr. Toet sent out a mailer to his constituents in which he asks the following question with only two possible answers: What do you think? A. I agree with my MP Lawrence Toet. We must take action to protect Canada from terrorism. B. I disagree! Terrorists are victims too. Respectfully, Mr. Toet, you are doing a disservice to all with this simplistic analysis of an extremely complex issue. Arguing against some of the measures in Bill C-51, calling it “sweeping, dangerous, vague and ineffective” in no way makes Thomas Mulcair a terrorist sympathizer. But neither does seeking a way to gain ground on a very real threat make Prime Minister Harper a fear monger out to take away our freedom of speech. Talk to your MP, educate yourself. There is plenty of very thoughtful analysis on Bill C-51 available if you seek it out. I can recommend an article by two legal scholars on thewalrus.ca called Bill C-51, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It’s a good starting point, but there’s a lot more out there. Bill C-51 will change some very basic things in Canadian society, change some rights we may take for granted.

Nitehawks down

Kimberley Dynamiters claim overtime victory in Game 1 of conference final Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley Dynamiters forward Eric Buckley continues to be a nightmare for opponents. In Game 1 of the Kootenay Conference final, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks were the latest to be terrorized. With 2:01 remaining in overtime, Buckley buzzed his way across the Beaver Valley blue line before snapping a shot past Nitehawks goaltender Carson Scha-

from-behind road victory for the Dynamiters, who needed to erase not one, but two deficits in the third period in order to take a 1-0 series lead. After a scoreless first period, Nitehawks forward Tyler Hartman opened the scoring with a power-play tally. Schamerhorn was unbeatable through 40 minutes of play as the Nitehawks carried the 1-0 edge into the final 20 minutes of regulation. “He really challenges

merhorn to give the Dynamiters a 3-2 victory, effectively stealing home ice advantage away from the Nitehawks. “He’s fearless,” Kimberley Dynamiters coach Jerry Bancks said of Buckley. “He’s the one guy who, even early in the game, was going first to pucks and taking a hit to make a play. “He was ready to go right off the hop...His leadership was great.” Buckley’s overtime heroics capped a come-

the shooters a lot, he’s quick to come out,” Bancks said. “We have to deal with that. I think we have to get more pucks on net and be a little hungrier for rebounds.” Nitros forward Alex Rosolowsky was the first to find a chink in the armour of the 17-year-old Nitehawks netminder. The 19-year-old Calgary native took a pass from Sawyer Hunt, depositing the puck into the Nitehawks cage with 13:33 to go in the third. With the period winding down, it appeared as though both clubs were settling in for overtime until Nitehawks forward Ross Armour restored the lead for Beaver Valley with 5:56 to play. “It was a little discouraging,” Bancks said of Armour’s late goal. “We had started to come back in the game and had the better chances. They’d had more shots, but we had a couple glorious chances. “But you know, it was kind of funny, you kind of had a good feeling all night. It’s a group of winners. They know how to win and they figured out a way to do it again.” All it took was 2:13 for Coy Prevost to poke a rebound past Schamerhorn, tying the game 2-2 with 3:43 to play. After that, Buckley took care of the rest. Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer turned in his typical sterling performance, stopping 38 of 40 shots, including a dazzling glove save with 56.7 seconds to go in the third period. “They took it to us in the first period, but Tyson did what he does,” Bancks said. “Then we got our feet underneath us and we responded.” The Dynamiters will look to grab a 2-0 series lead Thursday in Game 2 at the Beaver Valley Arena in Fruitvale. “We have to believe in ourselves,” Bancks said. “We have some young players out there that seem a little nervous and tentative. We’ve just got to believe how good we are and make them beat us instead of us thinking they’re going to be a hard team to beat. “We’re a hard team to beat.”

The East Kootenay Volleyball Club (EKVC) opened the club volleyball season Feb. 21 to 22 in Calgary at the Premier 1 tournament. EKVC features age groups U14 to U18, with six female teams and four male teams. The club will host two large home tournaments -- the Cranbrook Cup (13 and 14U) and the Rich Wayling Memorial Kootenay Cup (15 and 16U).

At the Premier 1 in Calgary, the 15U girls (pictured above) competed against the top Alberta teams in division one of the tournament. Led by coach Herb Tepper and assistant coach Jeff Plitt, the 15U girls went undefeated in pool play before winning and exciting semifinal match against the Lethbridge Volleyball Club. The 15U girls dropped the gold-medal match to the UC Dinos, returning home with silver medals.

East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) partnered with the Kootenay Ice and the City of Cranbrook to find the most skilled Zamboni driver in the region. Friday, March 13 the winner will be determined at the final EKC’s Zamboni Challenge. From eight Zamboni drivers only two will compete to be recognized with distinction as the Kootenay’s ‘Master Zamboni Driver’. Mathieu Fornier, representing Canal Flats, and Roy Sargent, representing Cranbrook, will battle for Zamboni supremacy. Fournier earned his way into the finale with a previous victory Nov. 7. Sargent cruised into the showdown with a Jan. 24 win. Zamboni drivers are timed as they complete the obstacle course, including any penalty time added for errors

(five seconds for knocking down a pylon and 10 seconds for going the wrong way). EKC has committed $3,250 to supporting eight community groups. The Zamboni drivers have all been teamed up with a community group and EKC has generously donated $500 to the winning team and $250 to the runners up. Mayor Lee Pratt of Cranbrook has put a wager on the winner of EKC’s Zamboni Challenge with Mayor Ute Juras of Canal Flats. If Canal Flats driver Mathieu Fournier wins, Mayor Pratt will walk in the Canal Flats parade wearing a Canal Flats jersey and take part in the pie throwing contest. If Cranbrook driver Roy Sargent wins, Mayor Juras will walk the Sam Steele parade donning at Kootenay ICE Jersey. Mathieu will again be raising funds for the Canal Flats Youth

Group. Their project is a new half-pipe and pump track. Roy is raising funds for Better at Home -- a Cranbrook senior program that provides small group outings and activities for local seniors, with the intention of promoting activity and maintaining or improving connection with friends and community. The community of Canal Flats has at least 100 people coming to Cranbrook for the Kootenay Ice game Friday, March 13. Community groups supported include: East Kootenay Track and Field Club (Cranbrook), Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society, Days for Girls (Elk Valley), Cranbrook Woman’s Resource Centre, Canal Flats Youth Group for a Skateboard Park, Santa Needs a New Sleigh - JCI, Fernie Women’s Resource Centre and the Kimberley Early Learning Centre.

Cranbrook Eagles Boxing success in Southern Alberta For The Townsman

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club is back from the Kainai Gloves Boxing Show with a handful of trophies. The Kainai Gloves Boxing Show was hosted last weekend at the Kainai Blood Reserve (outside Cardston, Alta.). A total of three Cranbrook boxers stepped into the rink, with two making their boxing debuts. Paul Carson, 28, re-

turned to the ring for the first time in 10 years, taking on Chris L’hirondelle from Edmonton. Meanwhile, Ty Kolbeck took on Bryson Reis (Lethbridge) and Carter Bannink fought against Whisper White

Man (Blood Reserve). Kolbeck and Bannink, junior members of the Eagles club, are both 11 years old and made their official boxing debuts over the weekend. All three boxers received trophies for their efforts. Next action sees the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club travel south of the border to Hamilton, Mont., March 14. Hamilton is approximately 490 kilometres south of Cranbrook.

Gordon Terrace School gives their all for Nepal For the Townsman

Since 2008, David and Patricia Stock have run a small grass roots organization “The Canadian Friends of Nepal” which helps 12 families and a school in a small village in Nepal. They hold two fundraiser a year and have also shown dvd travelogues at the college to add to the fundraising. In 2011, Michelle Sartorel, the Principal of Gordon Terrace School approached the Stocks with an offer for Gordon Terrace School to help the little school in the village. A slide show presentation was made to the staff and students about Nepal and the project was begun. Since then the school has collected Canadian Tire Money ( which the head office in Toronto doubled the first year ). The school has had many sales of dilly bars, carnations, books, dvd’s, and many crafts as well as several penny

and nickel drives. Since starting in 2011 Gordon Terrace School has raised $22,000.00 for Nepal. They have built a three room addition — Hot Pink in colour — for three to five year old children. This building began construction in the summer of 2012 and opened for business in September 2013. The “Hot Pink” addition has recently been repainted and a new sign “Gordon Terrace School Nepal” added. The staff and students have worked tirelessly since taking on this project and many individual students have used their creativity and sharing natures to help the poor school. Robby Beaulac raised $210 at his birthday by asking for donations instead of birthday presents. Ryder Duczek has made many duct tape purses and wallets for the upcoming May 7 Mother’s Day sale. It takes him about 5 to 10

minutes to make one and he uses many different colours of tape. His class mate, Tanner Eckersley is making braided luggage tags for sale at the Mother’s Day sale as well. It takes him about 10 minutes to make the tags of paracord, arborite, and key rings. Faith Hoglund has collect hundreds of dollars of Canadian Tire Money over the years she has been at Gordon Terrace and much of it has gone to the Nepal project. Jaina Skene, a grade 1 student recently brought in a bag of coins she had collected with the help of her dad. These are just a few of the students who are doing their individual best to help people less fortunate than themselves. Gordon Terrace School is an inspiration and The Canadian Friends of Nepal thank all the staff, students, and parents who are working so hard for such a worthy project.

ly. Engines need adequate air for the combustion process to take place. Without the proper combustion levels, vehicles cannot perform properly or efficiently and the engine may burn more gas or get fewer miles to the gallon. A dirty filter also can rob an engine of power. Drivers may notice sluggish acceleration. Air filters also can get so dirty that the engine stalls completely. But such a problem only develops after considerable neglect. Air filters may not need to be replaced at each and every oil change service call. Many technicians advise replacing the filter every 8,000 miles. However, drivers who live in particularly dry and dusty regions may need to replace filters more frequently. Mechanics can often detect when an air filter needs to be replaced. If he or she notices the air filter is particularly dirty, then it’s probably time to replace it. Replacing the filter is a relatively inexpensive repair for the amount of performance and peace of mind a new filter provides.

Technology can help extend the life of your lights wear contact lenses need yearly eye exams. Drivers who suspect their vision might be making it harder for them to see when behind the wheel should schedule an ophthalmic exam immediately. • Prioritize complete vehicle maintenance. No vehicle maintenance routine is complete unless it includes regular cleaning of headlight lenses, sideview mirrors and interior glass and mirrors. Dirty mirrors and glass compromises driver vision, so be sure to periodically remove any debris or film buildup on such surfaces.

Save at the pump

The cost of fuel dipped in 2014, but drivers are still looking for ways to spend less at the pump. For many drivers, that means driving less. Driving less will save money, and doing so also reduces fuel consumption and contributes to fewer emissions entering the air, both of which can benefit the environment. But many drivers are unable to drive less, as commitments to work and family require them to get behind the wheel more often than they might prefer. Such driv-

ers may be looking for ways to reduce their fuel costs, and fortunately there are several ways to do just that. • Reconsider your choice of fuel. Many of today’s auto manufacturers now design their vehicles so they can run smoothly on regular unleaded gas, which is typically listed as “87 octane” at filling stations. That’s important to know, as regular gas is often considerably less expensive than alternatives that are higher octanes. Many drivers may even choose regular un-

leaded, but opt for premium gas every third or fourth trip, feeling that the higher octane fuel every so often will increase performance of older engines. But many engines are designed to run smoothly and efficient on low-octane fuel, meaning it’s unnecessary to choose premium gas, even if you only do so once in a blue moon. Read your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the best fuel for your car. • Buy when the time is right. Prices at filling stations fluctuate on a daily basis, so unless your car is running on empty, avoid filling up when the prices seem especially high. Some patience may pay off with several dollars in savings, and those savings can add up to a significant amount of money over time. • Become a less aggressive driver. Drivers with hectic schedules tend to be more aggressive when behind the wheel. But driving aggressively is unsafe and potentially costly. When driven at speeds that exceed 55 miles per hour, vehicles lose fuel economy. According to the California Energy Commission’s Consumer Energy Center, driving 55 miles per hour instead of 75 miles per hour can reduce fuel costs by as much as 75 percent. • Remove unnecessary weight. A car trunk might seem like a great place to keep your golf clubs, and it may be tempting to leave that roof rack on top of your car after a recent camping trip, but such unnecessary cargo in or on your car makes it harder for the car to get from point A to point B. That forces the car to consume more fuel. Unless your immediate plans include hitting the links or hunkering down at a nearby campsite, remove unnecessary weight from the car so your next trip to the gas station is less expensive. The cost of fuel can make trips to the filling station into costly excursions. But drivers willing to reconsider conventional wisdom and change their driving habits can save substantial amounts of money over time.

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who was found deceased following a trailer-home fire in Nelson on March 8, 2015. He was Ryan Randell Tapp, aged 28, of Nelson.

Coroners identifies victim of trailer fire near Nelson W ill Johns on Nelson Star

The Nelson man found deceased in a suspicious Sunday trailer fire in Taghum has been identified as the owner of the property, 28-year-old musician Ryan Tapp. Outpourings of grief over Tapp’s passing have proliferated social media sites since Sunday, and various memorials have already been held in town. Though a Go Fund Me campaign was initiated to support his close friends Heidi and Andrew, and raised over $2000 by Monday evening, it has been temporarily suspended. Tapp’s body was discovered by firefighters after they extinguished the sprawling blaze near the intersections of Granite and Fofonow roads early Sunday, which required a collaborative firefighting effort between three local fire departments.

Because there were no hydrants in the area, a holding tank of water was used to supply the pumper tank. The late-night conflagration sent 40 to 50 butane canisters rocketing into the night and firefighters were subjected to multiple propane tank explosions. Luckily, no emergency personnel were harmed and neighbouring properties were not affected. Insp. Tom Roy accompanied a forensic anthropologist to the scene on Monday, as part of the autopsy and investigation process. The BC Coroners Service is continuing to investigate the death, while the Nelson Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire. Authorities have said all possibilities have not yet been ruled out, and they aim to be thorough in their findings. Tapp’s family has asked the community to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Avalanche near Golden claims life of back-country skier C anadian Press

GOLDEN, B.C. - A skier was killed Monday when an avalanche swept down a slope in the Selkirk Mountains about 75 kilometres northwest of Golden, B.C. The skier was part of a group of experienced back-country skiers who had spent several days skiing out of Sorcerer Lodge, a helicopter-only access area. In a statement released through a communications firm, Tanis Dakin of Sorcerer Lodge said she and the lodge staff are shaken by the death of the skier. She said the skier, whose name has

not yet been released by the RCMP, was well-known at the lodge and highly respected. The avalanche struck at about 5:30 p.m. in an area near Ventigo Lake, a route on the way to Mount Iconoclast, a 3,251 metre peak northwest of Golden. The skier was recovered about a half hour after the avalanche and was flown to a Golden hospital by helicopter where resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. “Our hearts go out to the family of our friend, and we will do all we can to support them at this very difficult time,” said Dakin.

Rock, folk, ballads, country, and children’s music all have been genres parodied by the Worms. When not spoofing a particular style of music, the Worms’ material pokes fun at various aspects of daily life in Canada with songs like “Canada’s Really Big”, “Me Like Hockey”, “We are the Beaver”, “I Am Not American”, and “Proud to Be Canadian”. The Arrogant Worms will be performing their brilliant humour-full repertoire of songs this St. Paddy’s Day March 17 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $35 and $30 for Key City Theatre members. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250-426-7006 and Online at www.keycitytheatre.com.

Robin Thicke

No longer so blurry Jury finds Pharrell, Thicke copied Marvin Gaye song for ‘Blurred Lines,’ awards $7.3M A n t h o ny M cCa r t n e y Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - A jury awarded Marvin Gaye’s children $7.3 million on Tuesday after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father’s music to create “Blurred Lines,” the biggest hit song of 2013. Marvin Gaye’s daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was being read and was hugged by her attorney, Richard Busch. The verdict could tarnish the legacy of

Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy Awards and appears on NBC’s music competition show “The Voice.” An attorney for Thicke and Williams has said a decision in favour of Gaye’s heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist’s sound. The Gayes’ lawyer branded Williams and Thicke liars who went beyond trying to emulate the sound of Gaye’s late-1970s music and copied the R&B leg-

end’s hit “Got to Give It Up” outright. Thicke told jurors he didn’t write “Blurred Lines,” which Williams testified he crafted in about an hour in mid2012. Williams told jurors that Gaye’s music was part of the soundtrack of his youth. But the seven-time Grammy winner said he didn’t use any of it to create “Blurred Lines.” Gaye’s children Nona, Frankie and Marvin Gaye III - sued the singers in 2013 and were present when the verdict was read.

Underground hot springs on Enceladus? Scientists find evidence deep beneath tiny Saturn moon Alicia Chang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - New research suggests there are hot springs bubbling beneath the icy surface of a tiny Saturn moon. If confirmed, it would make the moon Enceladus the only other known body in the solar system besides Earth where hot water and rocks interact underground. That activity would make the moon an even more attractive place in the hunt for microbial life. On Earth, scientists have found weird life forms living in hydrothermal vents on the ocean bottom where there’s no sunlight. The research comes from Cassini, a NASA-European spacecraft that launched in 1997 to explore Saturn and its numerous moons from orbit. It previously uncovered a vast ocean beneath Enceladus and a giant

plume of gas and ice streaming from cracks in the south polar region. In the latest study, a group led by Cassini team member Sean Hsu of the University of Colorado in Boulder used spacecraft observations and computer modeling to show that the plume is connected to what’s happening on the lunar sea floor. Judging by their size and makeup, the team believes particles in the plume are the result of hot water coming into contact with rocks on the ocean floor. The resulting mineral-rich water then shoots up through the icy crust and erupts into space in a plume of gas and ice. Some particles settle around Saturn, replenishing its biggest ring. The new work also suggests that the ocean is deeper than previous estimates - more than 30 miles (50 kilometres) deep below the icy crust. It did not

provide details on how big the ocean might be, but the Cassini team last year said it could be as big as or even bigger than North America’s Lake Superior. Cassini should get a better glimpse of the plume later this year when it flies through it, passing within 30 miles (50 kilometres) above Enceladus’ surface. The findings were published online Wednesday in the journal Nature. In an accompanying editorial, Gabriel Tobie of France’s University of Nantes said the environment beneath Enceladus appears similar to the underwater system of hot springs and towering spires nicknamed “Lost City” in the mid-Atlantic. It would take future missions such as a lander on the surface of Enceladus to “fully reveal the secrets of its hot springs,” he wrote.

Going out on a limb Fossils of wacky-looking sea creature shed light on early limb evolution

Associated Press

NEW YORK - Fossils of a wacky-looking, 7-foot (2-meter)-long sea creature are providing new clues about how limbs developed in the family of animals that includes lobsters, crabs, scorpions and insects. The fossils of the an-

cient sea creature were found in Morocco. Their discovery is reported by researchers at Yale and Oxford universities in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The creature lived about 480 million years ago, and belongs to the family of animals called

arthropods. It looked a bit like a huge lobster without claws, and with a long pointy nose. On each side it had two rows of flaps that were precursors to limbs seen in modern arthropods. The lower flaps were for propulsion through the water and the upper ones for steering.

feature It happened this week in Cranbrook POINTS from Week March 8 - 14

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1903 Looking for water power ... J. M Zeller of Canton, S. D., and G. C. Henderson of Beloit, Iowa, were in the district last week looking over water powers. They visited Bull River falls and also Elk River. They were very much impressed with the latter, which they visited with Thomas Crahan who, in company with H. L. Stephens, holds the water right. It is possible that something may be done by these gentlemen, as they appreciate the fact that water power will be a big thing within a short time in this district. Don’t need to stand … The Cranbrook Hotel has put in a stand telephone on the desk, and now when the telephone bell rings, Manager Rooks can turn in his easy chair and do his talking with a smile. That is easier than walking to the telephone box with that tired feeling. Horse power … A. Leitch, manager of the East Kootenay Lumber Company bought another car load of horses at Pincher Creek last week, and they were received Sunday night. Mr. Leitch says that heavy draft horses are very scarce these days as the demand has been very brisk owing to the growth of the lumber business in this district. Pest house … B. Round, who has been working for Robinson-McKenzie, was taken to the pest house on Monday last with scarlet fever. Good service … Miss Gugeon, the new assistant at the post office, is rapidly becoming familiar with her various duties and is giving excellent satisfaction on account of her obliging manner and promptness. Her work is far from pleasant and anyone who will stand at a post office window ten hours a day and greet all pleasantly, cross and good natured people alike, is entitled to a prize, for humanity loves to kick and especially at a post office. Griffith the mind reader ... Prof. Griffith, the hypnotist and mind reader, gave an interesting exhibition on the street yesterday. A committee drove around several blocks and hid a knife in a ball of snow in front of the Fort Steele Mercantile company store. Blindfolded, Griffith drove the team over the route and found the knife with little trouble. He will be at Wentworth hall several nights this week. 1904 Population … Cranbrook has a population of 2,000 and it is rapidly increasing. Within two or three years’ time that number will be doubled. Obituary … It is reported that W. T. Kaake, one of the pioneers of Cranbrook, died in Portland, Oregon, recently. W. T. Kaake came to Cranbrook before the town had really started. He was a contractor and one of the greatest hustlers in the west. He buit several buildings in town, and every one had the dipped hood front. He used to say it was his trade mark. He built the Commercial hotel, now the Manitoba, and did it on hot air. He got so far in debt to Carlin & Durick, of Fort Steele, for supplies, that it scared him, and he tried to sell out before the hotel was ready to open, but no one would buy, so he had to open it himself. Construc-

tion had just reached this part of the Crow, and in the first ten days the hotel was open, Kaake paid all his debts and cleared enough to give him the hotel free of encumbrances. It was a gold mine for the first year, and was the scene of much trouble. In fact it was known as the “Bucket of Blood.” Kaake had several partners, one of them being “Big Bill” Reeser, who was afterward shot in a saloon at Port Hill. Kaake used to say of Reeser, “Bill is all right, but he is not on the square. But I play even. Every time he takes a five from the till I take ten.” When he and Williams, his other partner, sold out, they had a gang of men coming in to keep the bartenders busy, and the money that was spent came from Kaake and Williams. It is believed that Kaake cleaned up between $15,000 and $20,000 during the time that he lived here, but he never seemed to have any luck after leaving, and his money was soon lost in Atlin and West Kootenay. He had many good qualities, but when it came to making money, he would stop at nothing. And, as a hot air artist, he had no equal in the country. Special announcement … To the Ladies of Cranbrook, B. C.: We beg to announce the arrival of Miss A. Betchen, of Regina, N. W. T., who has assumed the direction of our dressmaking department. Miss Betchen, whom we can recommend as a first class designer of Ladies’ Dresses, Suits, etc., will be ready to receive work on and after Thursday, March 10, 1904. With this announcement we would direct your special attention to our Spring Stock of Dress Goods, Nope Voiles, Eoliennes, Ethminnes, Scotch Suitings, etc. Trimmings Plaue, Cluny and Wood Fibre Laces, Persian, Tenriffe and Chiffon Applique. Linings in all shades to match above mentioned lines. REID & COMPANY A characteristic letter ... The Herald had Mr. McCrank’s name spelled on the mailing list without the prefix “Mc,” and he writes to call attention to the omission as follows: Jaffray, B. C., March 10, 1904. F. E. Simpson, Cranbrook. Dear Sir: I must ask you to correct your spelling of my name as it appears on your paper. Its abbreviation don’t appeal to my fancy. It is said, there is much in a name. Mine is a possible exception but honesty and the laws of the land compel one to bear it as it was given me. The prefix you would deprive me of, is, in my opinion its claim to respectability. No juggling can make it beautiful nor aristocratic, and as for the latter, a knowledge of my family tree would not bear me out in any such pretense. By humoring me in my desire you will oblige. Respectfully Yours, Neil McCrank. Made a winning ... Vic Rollins and Walt Edwards struck a big winning in, Frisco. They put up $50 each on Pat Morrissey, one of Tom Wellman’s best horses, with the odds 40 to 1, and Morrissey cantered in winner. That gave Rollins and Edwards just $2,000 each. That was a lucky shot. 1905 A disgrace … A picture of Cranbrook’s court house and government office should grace the walls of parliament. They are the worst in Canada today. Get out of town … The Herald

stirred up the menagerie last week, and as a consequence there has been a great exodus of pimps and male piano players from the red light district. Constable Morris, with Mr. Barron, who was acting for Constable Hoskins, the latter being confined at home by sickness, have been giving the icy glare and stern words of warning to this disreputable class of humanity, and they have taken the hint and the road at the same time. The move is a good one and The Herald trusts that from this time on the hop fiends and pimps will be given to understand that they are not wanted in Cranbrook. Quiet please! … A loud talking person in a public hall, church or theater audience, be it man or woman, is an abomination. Attention attracted in this way is unfortunate for the victim as it unavoidably gives rise to comment that is far from complimentary, since it prevents many other people who have paid their money from enjoying the program presented. Were rivals in love … Two men named Chabeneau and Delaney seem to have been rivals fur the affections of a woman named Mrs. Lounsbury, who lives in the south-west part of the town. Last Sunday night both met at the woman’s home and a row resulted and in consequence Delaney was badly cut on one of his hands. The police were notified and Chabeneau was arrested and lined for assault. A slower speeder … A. C. Bowness and Fred Geller went to Kimberley last Sunday on a speeder. They both agree that the next time they will walk rather than pump a speeder over those hills. Bank of commerce … Within a few weeks active work will begin on the new building for the Canadian Bank of Commerce on the property adjoining the Herald office. The plans and specifications are all ready and as soon as a few details a rearranged bids will be asked for. This building will be of brick with stone facing and will be an ornament to the street. The Kootenay Golf Club of Cranbrook … The annual meeting of the Kootenay Golf Club will be held in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening, the 10th March at 8:00 sharp. All members and those who wish to become members are requested to attend.

PARLIAMENT with

DAVID WILKS

MP Kootenay - Columbia

Each day, we hear of crimes against Canadians. When hearing these stories, we are reminded of the expectation on our government to protect us from crime, and from the criminals who commit these offenses against us. Constituents across the Kootenay-Columbia regularly express to me the importance of public safety in their community. As their representative, I know that our government is doing what is needed to keep their communities safe from Canada’s worst criminals. In the 2013 Speech from the Throne, our government made a commitment to Canadians to change laws to better protect Canadians from dangerous criminals. It was stated that our government would change the law so that a life sentence means a sentence for life, reducing the ability for criminals to reoffend. In the spirit of keeping commitments, our Government is acting on their promise. On March 4, 2015, our Conservative Government announced that it will introduce legislation to amend the Criminal Code to make certain Canada’s dangerous criminals do not have the opportunity to reoffend. Under the new legislation, the most dangerous criminals will receive a life sentence without the option of parole. This new legislation will build on the Government’s current efforts to keep our streets and communities safe by ensuring that: • Criminals who are convicted of the most serious murders or high treason will be imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives with no access to parole; and that • Criminals who are convicted of first degree murder involving either sexual assault, kidnapping, forcible confinement, terrorism, killing of police officers of corrections officers, or of a particularly brutal nature; will be imprisoned for a life sentence with no access to parole. In addition to the changes above, our Conservative Government announced its intention to introduce legislation that would no longer allow repeat violent offenders to apply for early release.

Our government does not condone violent criminals on the streets of Canada. Our government wants our law enforcement to have the necessary tools to ensure that they are able to prevent repeat offenses. This new legislation is the tool that enforcement officers need to ensure that the streets of Canada remain safe.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be acting quickly on a long-term desire that perhaps you had not even been aware of until now. Your imagination soars to new levels, especially if you are willing to be spontaneous. Feelings could surprise you as they come up. Tonight: Worry less. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A friend could add an element of confusion to your plans. You might decide to invite someone who has been a bit off to a spontaneous dinner. You are likely to gain some insight into this person’s personal life as a result. Tonight: Reveal more of your thoughts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Let others have their way. You might need to change the way in which you explain how you want something done. By speaking more clearly, you will help people learn faster. Reach out and make a call to a special friend whom you care a lot about. Tonight: Chat up a storm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be looking at the long-term ramifications of continuing on the path you currently are on. Reach out to someone who often gives you good advice. A boss or someone you must answer to could be demanding. Tonight: Your imagination provides a fun solution. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tap into your positive energy when dealing with others. Someone who is very different from you will provide some interesting news. Surprises are likely to surround certain events. A close associate might not be getting the gist of a conversation. Tonight: Movie night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension seems to build as you deal with a personal matter. Recognize that you are creating this stress through your own judgments. Just do what you feel is necessary. Read between the lines with a key associate who might not be clear. Tonight: Take a walk by the water. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Make the first effort to reach out to someone at a distance. Communication will flourish, as long as you verify what you hear and confirm meeting times and places. Unexpected developments with a child could demand your attention. Tonight: Allow your creativity to speak. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll be ready to make a major purchase, but what you desire might not be in line with your budget. You could be a little too direct or demanding when dealing with others. Try a different approach, and you will like the results. Tonight: Treat a friend to munchies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You tend to express a lot of enthusiasm, no matter what you are doing. You add extra “oomph” to others’ days as well. Don’t be surprised if others seek you out; they respect your opinion and appreciate your strong drive and powerful energy. Tonight: All eyes turn to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have been stepping back more than usual. Others need

to understand the workload that you carry every day. In the process, you might discover that someone who performs as well as you can be helpful in taking the reins. Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are a sign that honors friendship. You will have plenty of opportunities to interact with friends, whether you plan on meeting up or just end up running into each other. Try not to rush yourself, as you easily could make a mistake. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seem to have a lot of expectations. You’ll sense these implicit demands and respond accordingly. Know that you won’t be able to please everyone. Don’t push beyond your limits. Your imagination might be out of control today. Tonight: Use your imagination.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 22 years. I started working when I was 14 and didn’t stop until I started having medical issues two years ago. The problem is my family. My husband doesn’t think it is important that our two kids, ages 20 and 21, have jobs. I have tried repeatedly to help them find employment because they won’t bother to try on their own. But they’ll stay at a job for a month or two, and then they leave. My husband doesn’t think there is a problem. When I bring it up, my son yells at me, and my husband doesn’t care. He says at least our son attends night classes twice a week. Our daughter’s self-esteem is very low, and I am worried about her. I am sick of the arguments about the kids not doing more around the house and not finding work. I have moved out of the house and in with a friend. Was I wrong to do this? How do I make my husband see that the kids should have jobs? -- Expect Better Dear Expect: Well, if you are out of the house, no one will push those kids to find work, and your husband will be supporting everyone. Perhaps he will then realize that keeping the children dependent and childlike is not in anyone’s best interest and insist that the kids contribute somehow to the household. But it won’t solve everything. We hate to sound like a broken record, but counseling could help both of you deal more respectfully with each other and more effectively with your kids. Even if your husband won’t go, counseling could help you work out better ways of negotiating so that you have other choices besides frustration and walking out. Dear Annie: My “Uncle Lucius” is 88 and has lived in an assisted-living facility for several years. He’s not crazy about living there, but recognizes that he can no longer live on his own. He also has no interest in senior activities or much else. Here’s the problem: When taking him to a restaurant or bringing him to my home, he frequently refuses to leave at the end of the evening. Uncle Lucius has a normal appetite, but spends most of the time talking instead of eating. When everyone is nearly finished and he’s prodded to eat, he routinely says he is too rushed, even if two hours have passed, and that he can’t chew his food, even if the meal is soup. He’ll demand new food to take home. If he’s told there is no food to take, he suddenly has no problem eating everything on his plate within 15 minutes. Uncle Lucius has become so difficult that I am reluctant to pick him up and take him places. Any suggestions? -- Anonymous Dear Anonymous: We think Uncle Lucius is lonely and uses these outings as an excuse to be the center of attention, and he wants to prolong the experience. You are a kind soul to pick him up and have him for dinner, but we can see that your patience is wearing thin. Let Lucius know that any food he doesn’t finish at the time you are ready to leave will be put in a plastic bag for him to take home. Then do it. You also might visit with him in his care facility, asking him to show you around or perhaps visiting at a time when there is an activity you can do together that takes the same amount of time as you would have spent having dinner with him. Please try to be tolerant. Dear Annie: “Frustrated Pastor’s Wife” complained that her husband is not paid for officiating. It seems that customs vary among denominations and even among individuals within denominations. Our last pastor would not accept any payment, saying that officiating at such occasions was part of the pastoral care he provided. -- Mike Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Tending the soil for the fruits of the spirit Anastasia Bartle t t

I love fresh produce but I hate gardening, specifically, I hate weeding. Spending hours in the hot sun trying to discern between the small green plants that I want and the small green plants I don’t want, is not my idea of a restful good time. Give me a shady beach, ice tea, a good book anytime. Even so, years ago, in the name of economic frugality, we decided to have a garden. Since the children at the time were of an age to be more hindrance than help (no, no sweetheart, don’t pull that out, mommy just planted it!) I searched for the easiest (read laziest) way to garden. The first couple of years, we roto-tilled our garden plot before planting. It really looked good, all those weeds chopped up and tilled under, composting to fertilize all the seeds I was about to plant....or so I thought. No sooner did I plant the seeds when the weeds came back with a vengeance. I would weed the rows, get to the last one and have to start over again. Then, one spring, I decided

to start a get-into-shape regime by turning the garden by hand. What I discovered surprised me. Throughout the garden, about six inches below the surface, was a veritable spaghetti nest of live weed roots. Apparently, the roto-tiller did not kill the roots. Instead it created hundred of new tiny pieces of root from which a new weed grew. When I weeded, I just removed the greenery allowing the roots to choke out the vegetables while producing another weed to torment me. No wonder the yield in our garden wasn’t what it could’ve been! That year, I dug and dug and dug removing wheelbarrows full of roots before I planted. Throughout the year, I dug up more weed roots instead of just pulling the plants. As much as I disliked the job, I had to admit our harvest that year exceeded our previous years and, as I continued the process, continued to grow in subsequent years. As I de-weeded, I had an epiphany of sorts; my heart was a garden. The Bible taught me about the fruits of the spirit but what sort of soil was I pro-

viding and what seeds did I plant? What did I read? What did I watch? What could I do to make my heart more fruitful and less weedy? I maintained a veneer of Christianity by controlling negative emotions in public but my family knew better. The roots of bitterness, anger and depression still existed, in part because I didn’t know how to remove them. They restricted the joy, peace, and other fruits of the spirit I wanted in my life. I knew only God could dig out the bitter roots from my life if I let Him. But I didn’t know how to do that, until I discovered not only forgiveness but also confession and repentance. I knew I needed to forgive when I’ve been offended and not hold onto it. I also knew that when I have offended someone, I needed to immediately ask forgiveness. The problem was one-time forgiveness was not enough. Memories of being offended and giving offence would both come back to haunt me creating either desire for revenge or feelings of guilt. Neither revenge or guilt should

be planted and nurtured in my garden. I am gradually learning repentance can stop me from planting the seeds, while confession can help me remove the weeds that grow. I need to confess my sins, the desire for revenge and guilt feelings, in front of someone else, because I can so easily lie to myself. Justifications like, ‘Oh it wasn’t all that bad, he probably didn’t even notice’ or ‘I hope she learns what that feels like’ come so easily to mind and feed the weeds beneath. With a few words at confession, my priest can help me to see the truth so I can truly forgive, again and ask forgiveness, again. Every confession painstakingly digs out another root from my heart, allowing more room for fruit. Weeding is time-consuming, hard-work and on-going, but in the long run, it’s the best way to obtain the harvest.

Son of former governor general wins 2015 Templeton Prize C ANADIAN PRESS

LONDON - Jean Vanier, the son of a former Canadian governor general, has joined previous winners such as Mother Teresa, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the Dalai Lama in being awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize. It comes with about the equivalent of $2 million and a statement Wednesday said the prize honours a living person who has made exceptional contributions to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery or practical works. Vanier, 86, founded L’Arche in France in 1964. It’s described as a groundbreaking international network where people with and without intellectual disabilities work together as peers. L’Arche got its start when Vanier invited two intellectually disabled men to come and live with him as friends in a small house. He named the house L’Arche, which is French for ”ark and ”arch,” to symbolize Noah’s Ark and an arch or bridge connecting heaven and Earth. The first Canadian community, L’Arche Daybreak, was founded in Richmond Hill, Ont., and 29 communities are

Worldwide, there are 147 residential communities in 35 countries on five continents. In remarks prepared for the announcement in London, England, the son of ex-governor general Georges P. Vanier made a plea for global peace. “Before being Christians or Jews or Muslims, before being Americans or Russians or Afri-

cans, before being generals or priests, rabbis or imams, before having visible or invisible disabilities, we are all human beings with hearts capable of loving,” he said. Vanier still lives in the original L’Arche community north of Paris and has promoted social justice and unity among Christians and other faiths for more than 50 years. He will be officially awarded the prize on May 18 at the

Church of St. Martin-in-theFields, London. Vanier was born in Geneva, Switzerland, the fourth of five children. He received a broad education in English and French, living in England, France and Canada. Another Canadian, Charles Taylor, a Quebec philosopher, was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2007.

Where’s the committed relationship? Hi Wendy: This is the first time I am emailing you but have been reading your column whenever it’s in the paper. I don’t know if I can explain my feelings to you correctly and if your guides can help me with the way I’m feeling. I left my husband a few years ago he was abusive to the children and me. Since then I have been in a few relationships but none of them seem to last. The men I have met are not interested it seems in a long-term relationship. Everything is fine for a while in the relationships then it seems to fizzle out for me or for them. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I don’t know if I want to try to have another relationship with a man. I don’t know if it’s worth my time and effort anymore. Can you ask your guides what if anything I’m doing wrong in the relationships I’ve had? Do you see me meeting a

man for a committable relationship in the future? Do you see my youngest daughter having a friendly relationship with her dad in the future? Will my oldest son get a part time job in the summer? I love my children and spend a great deal of time with them. I was wondering if it has hurt them emotionally with the few relationships I’ve had with these different men? Weeping and Worried Dear Weeping and Worried: I’ve had a conversation with my guides and this is some of the information they have relayed to me. We do not see your daughter or her father having a friendly comfortable relationship at this time. I then did a four-year “spec” to see if the relationship will improve and it does not seem to us that it will. Your son will definitely get a nice job this sum-

mer that he will like. Yes, the middle child has definitely been hurt emotionally by having these relationships you have had with these different men. She is feeling insecure and confused by what has been happening with you physically and how you have been acting emotionally. This means in a nutshell mom you are sleeping way too much and I think you are feeling a little depressed. This girl is a watcher and not a talker like the other two children. She keeps so much inside of her and does not express her feelings for fear of rejection. I think when you get a little more grounded and come out from under your frump; it’s time to have a nice talk with your daughter and explain to her how you truly are feeling about yourself. It will help her understand and she is that type of child that needs to hear it from

College ‘rediscovers’ collection of rare Greek, Roman coins ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMHERST, N.Y. - A priceless cache of ancient Greek and Roman coins that had become a kind of buried treasure has been “rediscovered” at the University at Buffalo, which had paid little attention to them since they were donated in 1935. The collection of 55 gold and silver coins date as far back as the fifth century B.C. Among them are a dozen gold coins from Rome - one each from the eras of Julius Caesar and the 11 emperors who followed him. Assistant professor Philip Kiernan, who arrived at UB in 2010 from a German coin museum, had heard from an alumnus that UB held ancient coins. But even after tracking them down, he had his doubts. There were three wood-framed glass trays, one holding the 12 gold Roman coins and the other two holding 40 silver Greek coins. A small leather pouch contained an additional three gold Greek coins. The newest of the lot is from the first century

Rare coins discovered at the University at Buffalo. A.D. “I was flabbergasted,” Kiernan said. “I couldn’t believe that an institution like UB had a collection of this quality in its special collections, as of yet unstudied, unpublished ... coins that were issued by the most powerful and most important city-states of the Classical and Hellenistic worlds.” Kiernan is in the process of developing a graduate seminar which will examine the history of each coin, with the findings to be published. Neither Kiernan nor Michael Basinski, interim director of special collections, could put a

monetary value on the collection, calling it priceless in terms of its historical value. The coins arrived at UB along with a collection of rare books from Buffalo lawyer Thomas B. Lockwood, who had funded construction of UB’s Lockwood Memorial Library. Lockwood, described by Basinski as “a gentleman’s collector,” had bought the coins at an auction of a Danish collector’s estate in 1925. It’s unknown how much he paid. But the coins were valuable even in ancient times. The gold coins each represented at least a month’s wages for an ordinary person.

The silver coins would have been circulated internationally within the Mediterranean world, he said, but were the “one hundredor two hundred-dollar bills of the ancient world.” All were struck between two hand-carved iron dies. One of the coins, from the era of the Roman emperor Otho, contains an apparent mistake in the engraving. On its reverse side, the Roman goddess of security, Securitas, holds a wreath and cornucopia, instead of her usual wreath and scepter. It’s one of countless tidbits to be explored.
