Conspiracy trial

Police agent later became babysitter, court hears ‘He liked $400 jeans, sun-glasses — that kind of stuff’

BY C AM FORTEMS Kamloops Daily News

The lifelong criminal who signed on to become an RCMP agent was given $1,000 a week and promised $50,000 in order to conspire with three Cranbrook men to kill a drug rival, a police handler testified Tuesday.

But Const. Kyle Weatherhead said Garry Shank’s employment last year, after the investigation was complete, involved babysitting his girlfriend’s child.

Weatherhead testified Wednesday in the trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin

Google Maps gives a slope-view of KAR

A bird’s eye view of Kimberley’s ski slopes C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Prospective visitors to Kimberley Alpine Resort will soon be able to take a virtual tour of every run on the mountain thanks to Google Maps.

The Google crew was in Kimberley last year to capture the view of the slopes and it will soon go live on Google Maps.

“It’s a really cool program,” said Matt Mosteller, VP for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, owners of KAR. “They did the shooting last year with a high tech camera on the back of a snow mobile. You get a 360 de-

gree view of every run. You go to the map of the run and you can see what it’s like to ski. You get a really great view of all the slopes.”

The Resort base is there now, and there are just a few more things to finish up and all the slopes will go live.

“We’ve signed off on all the things at our end,” Mosteller said.

“We are really thrilled with this.

The first ski hill in Canada to do this was Whistler. We said you guys have got to come back up.

RCR urged them to come back to showcase the ski resorts in this area.

“It gives a really unique view of the Resort, the terrain, the trees. It’s a look you can’t really get from a brochure. It simulates what it’s like to ski Kimberley.”

CCT wants to enchant you this spring Submit ted

As winter drags on do you ever feel the need to escape, to feel some sunshine on your face, to have the opportunity to change, to start fresh?

What if things were really bad? What if war, disease and the uncertainties of home and hearth were becoming too much to bear? Then would you jump at the chance to recharge, even if it meant some small deceits and the emptying of the piggy bank?

Welcome to London in 1922. The Spanish flu and the war have just ended and the only thing that is in abundance are widows. And rain. And cold. And more rain.

And welcome to the world of Charlotte Wilton. Only Charlotte, Lotty to her friends, may have found a way out, the way to sunshine and wisteria and the opportunity to regroup and rejuvenate. Lotty can only accomplish this by

scooping up a group of kindred souls and, against their better judgement, they too see the need for warmth, change and refreshment.

Welcome to “Enchanted April,” a play written by Matthew Barber from the novel by Elizabeth Von Arnim that tells this story and takes us all on a trip of true enchantment. Presented by Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT), the play is directed by Terry Miller, who has gathered some of the most talented people in our community both on stage and backstage to make sure this journey will be a pleasure to all.

Opening April 12, Enchanted April will run every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday until April 27.

You will have 10 chances to see this show at 8 p.m. at the Studio/Stage Door.

Tickets are available at Lotus Books.

At rehearsals for “Enchanted April” are (left to right): Peter Schalk, Nicola Kaufmann, David Popoff, Andrea Grossman, Tracy McGuire and Michelle Lemay (missing is Jennifer Inglis and Sean Swinwood).

Youth encouraged to speak out on cancer issues Canadian Cancer Society invites Kootenay youth to apply for B.C.-wide forum

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Do you have ideas about health and cancer prevention? Are you a young person aged between 19 and 25?

If so, the Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon, is encouraging you to apply to attend a youth forum that will be held in Vancouver on May 11, 2013.

Jenny Byford of Cranbrook, Canadian Cancer Society youth leadership volunteer, is part of an advisory group that is helping to plan the youth forum, the first one held by the Cancer Society.

“We know that about half of all cancers can be prevented and youth are a vital part of stopping cancer before it starts.

This is a chance for youth from across our province to take part in continuing a 75-year legacy of cancer prevention. I encourage youth from across the Kootenay and the Interior regions to join us and apply.”

The forum will bring together young adults from all over B.C. and the Yukon and guide them towards taking action on health and cancer prevention issues in their own communities.

Trial continues From Page 1 The trial is scheduled to last through April.

Weatherhead was one of a number of RCMP who acted as “handlers” to Shank as he worked with police on scenarios involving the three men while wearing a recording device.

Under cross-examination, Weatherhead acknowledged Shank was paid $1,000 a week by police. RCMP also picked up some of his living expenses. Defence lawyer Jim Heller asked the Mountie where Shank spent his money.

“He liked $400 jeans, sunglasses — that kind of stuff,” Weatherhead said.

Some of the money Shank was promised for signing on to become a police agent is to be paid following the trial.

Weatherhead said Shank was living in Winnipeg last year awaiting the trial. He acknowledged Shank is “institutionalized” from his years in jail, has no work skills and has never held a job.

While in Winnipeg, initially Shank was taking care of his girlfriend’s child for a living, the constable testified.

But in January last year Shank assaulted her, along with two police officers, after the couple had a fight. Weatherhead said he traveled to Winnipeg after Shank was released on bail, providing him with about $2,000 to find housing because he had no work skills to make his own living.

At one point during the investigation, Weatherhead said Shank threatened to quit, telling the officer, “When this is all said and done I was planning on killing myself anyway.”

Shank testified for nearly three weeks.

Principal’s message For the Bulletin

It’s hard to believe we are already in March and that Spring is just around the corner. February was a busy month highlighted by the Les Mis productions at McKim theatre, course selections for next year, athletic tournaments, the French Carnival at Lindsay Park, a number of field trips, and Pink Shirt Day. A big thanks goes out to Sven Heyde and Bob McCue for the time and effort that went into producing Les Mis and to all those who continue to offer great curricular and extracurricular activities for our students.

March will continue to be busy with activities such as grade 12 Grad Transition presentations, the grade 9 ski day, the Outdoor Education Kootenay Pass trip, our Talent Show, Interim reports and Parent-Teacher Interviews. We look forward to sharing some pictures and highlights from these activities in April’s newsletter. The last day of classes before Spring Break is scheduled for Friday, March

Belle Plaine to perform house concert in Kimberley Jazz and folk singer/songwriter Belle Plaine to tour Western Canada with The Fifteen Two Band Mar 5, 2013 – Following her recent JUNO Nominee Press Conference performance, Regina’s ‘Best Singer’ Belle Plaine is touring Western Canada.

She will play a house concert that is open to the public, the Driftwood House Concert, in Kimberley on Thursday March 28th at 7:00pm. Tickets are $12 - driftwoodconcerts@ gmail.com.

Facebook event page = https:// w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / events/242417899229160/ Belle Plaine is an acoustic-guitar playing, storytelling vocalist whose debut full-length album, Notes From A Waitress, reached #3 on the !earshot National Jazz Chart. Belle describes the album she recorded at Edmontone Studios along with several fellow Grant MacEwan alumni: “I wanted the songs to read as a travelogue from the other side of the world and back. They’re like souvenirs from

each journey. It’s my throwback to the vocal jazz of the 1960s. Think of Peggy Lee and Julie London. I created Notes From A Waitress in the spirit of these artists.”

The success of this album combined with an assertive touring scheduling has caught the attention of Canadian fans and music industry alike. Belle Plaine was selected by the 2013 Juno Host committee as the art-

ist performer and representative to perform and scrum with media at both the local announcement and the national nominee announcement.

She was also recently offered official showcases at BreakOut West and the Folk Alliance International Conference.

Belle Plaine’s own brand of jazz fusion unites swing with vintage country and feminine pop. Audiences experience a genre-crossing set list that includes Belle’s original music, sensual jazz standards such as Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out by Nina Simone, folk anthems such as Bob Dylan’s I Shall Be Released, and country classics such as Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.

Belle will tour Western Canada in March and April 2013 with the The Fifteen Two band: Elizabeth Curry (“Best Bassist” and former Regina Symphony Orchestra member) on stand-up bass and harmony vocals, and Jeremy Sauer (“Best Keyboardist”) on piano, banjo, accordion and harmony vocals. Belle and her band have a penchant for cribbage and welcome any members of the media to join them in a game if scheduling allows.

The Weather Network 2013

In recent days the doctors who work in B.C.’s emergency departments have declared a “state of emergency,” launching a campaign to deal with declining staffing levels and increasing ER visits.

This campaign was detailed in a story in the Daily Townsman on Thursday, March 6.

On Thursday, Margaret MacDiarmid, B.C. Minister of Health, told the Townsman the Ministry of Health was in discussions with the Emergency Medicine Section of the B.C. Medical Association, but also that she herself was sympathetic to the pressures ER doctors face.

“I’m well aware of the contribution that emergency room physicians make.

“Unlike many Ministers of Health, I’ve actually been that doctor in emergency — in the Trail emergency department — when the three ambulances rolled in and I was the only doctor. So I know the ebbs and flows, and how hard it can be, from personal knowledge.

“We really want to work cooperatively with emergency doctors. I’ve had one meeting with Dr. David Haughton (President of the emergency medicine section of the B.C. Medical Association) and some of his colleagues who are in the lead-

ership of the emergency division. And I’ve made a commitment to them to work with them closely.”

MacDiarmid said an agreement negotiated between government and the BCMA has allocated $90 million in new funding — $20 million for specialists to address priority areas.

“So there are a number of places in that funding that could go to emergency physician services if it was agreed that that was a priority,” she said.

But in some ways, health care funding can be somewhat of a zero sum game. MacDiarmid said the difficulty for government is then to find new monies for any of the specialty sections, including the emergency doctors. “If we get into that situation, many of the (BCMA) sections would say that they have needs that are not met, and that they need more funding?” MacDiarmid said. “If we do it one time, how do we keep from doing it 30 times?

“But that doesn’t mean we can’t work together. The physicians are a very important part of the team, and the emergency room physicians are as well.

Some of the things they say we need to do, we absolutely are attending to.”

The ER doctors issued a fivepoint short term plant to address overcrowding and under-

“I’m very sympathetic to what they’re saying, and I’m absolutely committed to working with them.

We want to try it within the agreement that we have with them” Min. MacDiarmid staffing: • Increase physician staffing in ERs to reflect increased ER patient visits; • Make annual adjustments to ER physician staffing to ensure safe patient care; • Set and enforce standards regarding how long sick ER patients wait for an inpatient bed; • Continue and expand initiatives that will reduce the number of ER visits that could otherwise be served by other practitioners; • Hold administrators in Ministry of Health and Health Authorities accountable for meeting the standards set.

MacDiarmid said a longterm government goal is to build and reallocate capacity.

“Every emergency room I’ve

visited since I’ve been Minister of Health, they’ve told me they have patients in the emergency department that are admitted to hospital, but there’s no place for them to go,” she said. “One of the key issues is there are other patients within that hospital that should be in some alternative level of care. It’s moving those patients into either residential care, or home with increased home care services.

“And that is exactly where we’re focussing resources now so that we free up space, And that makes a huge difference to how those departments function.”

MacDiarmid added that Health Authorities are making an effort to have some of these patients actually go home, with additional support at home, and that pilot projects have showed this program to be very successful.

“The problem is that if we shift funding to actually pay doctors more, other than the $90 million that’s already there, then how do we attend to those other needs? How do we build capacity where we need to build it.

“It becomes a very fine issue.

I’m very sympathetic to what they’re saying, and I’m absolutely committed to working with them. We want to try it within the agreement that we have with them.”

Grants available for projects that address social well-being and benefit youth

CBT’s Social Grants Program and Youth Grants Program application deadline is April 12

(Columbia Basin) ñ Applications are now available for two CBT programs: the Social Grants Program and the Youth Grants Program.

The deadline for both is April 12, 2013.

The Social Grants Program funds projects that primarily support social well-being and address social issues in Basin communities. The Youth Grants Program funds projects that primarily impact and benefit Basin youth aged 12 to 29.

“The Social Grants Program aims to help organizations tackle diverse social issues across the region, and we look forward to seeing what projects come forward in this second intake of the program,” said Aimee Ambrosone, CBT Senior Manager, Sector Initiatives. “The Youth Grants Program is continuing on the success it has had over the last seven years, supporting a range of projects that involve youth and build youth capacity and leadership.”

Granting decisions for the Social Grants Program are made by a volunteer group of Basin residents who have experience and expertise in the social sector and broader community development experience.

For more information

on the program, visit www.cbt.org/sgp.

Applications to the Youth Grants Program are adjudicated by CBT’s Youth Advisory Committee, a group composed of Basin residents aged 15 to 29 who provide a youth perspective and understanding of the needs of and challenges facing young people in the Basin. For more information on the program, visit www.cbt.org/ygp.

Organizations looking for assistance in applying or those organizations that are uncertain about which program to apply to should contact CBT at 1.800.505.8998 or grants@cbt.org.

Cranbrook Council talks pot SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook City council heard some facts about marijuana use at its Monday, March 4 meeting when addictions expert Dean Nicholson talked to council about the pros and cons of legalizing the substance.

The discussion came about after council voted on decriminalizing marijuana alongside other B.C. municipal officials at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention last September.

Councillors Angus Davis and Sharon Cross voted in favour of decriminalizing marijuana; Councillors Gerry Warner and Denise Pallesen voted against. Councillors Diana J. Scott and Bob Whetham and Mayor Wayne Stetski were not present for the vote.

On Monday, Nicholson came to council as a delegation to provide some statistics about marijuana use in the East Kootenay.

“I thought council would be interested in some updated information around marijuana use in our region,” said Nicholson, administrator of East Kootenay Addiction Services Society (EKASS).

In its 2011 survey of East Kootenay students in Grades 7 to 12, EKASS found that 30 per cent of all students had used marijuana before, and 26 per cent had used it in the past year.

That was down from 2005, when 38 per cent of students reported using marijuana at least once.

Nicholson said that currently, most efforts around controlling marijuana use are around the legal implications. In 2004, around 70 per cent of federal spending on illicit drug use

was on law enforcement, three per cent on prevention, three per cent on harm reduction, and 14 per cent on treatment.

Marijuana production and distribution is mostly in the hands of organized crime, Nicholson pointed out, which leads to gang crime and trafficking of “harder” drugs.

“Marijuana production plays a significant role in fuelling gang violence,” he said. “We are seeing cocaine coming into the country in part because of marijuana going south.”

Broad social debate about decriminalizing marijuana is needed, Nicholson went on.

“When the official stance is prohibition, it makes it very difficult to have a debate of the pros and cons of decriminalization or safer approaches,” he said.

“The current approach appears to be ineffective in that a large minority of the population use marijuana despite the illegality, the police direct resources to control a substance which the majority of Canadians feel should have its legal status changed, and organized crime benefits from the current legal status.”

There is no evidence that using marijuana makes people more likely to use harder drugs, Nicholson added.

“Many people use alcohol and marijuana and that’s as far as they go with substance use,” he said.

Council heard Nicholson’s presentation for information only. The vote last September at UBCM was to call on the appropriate government to decriminalize marijuana and research the regulation and taxation of marijuana.

RDEK approves 5-year financial plan The Regional District of East Kootenay has adopted its Financial Plan for the years 2013 - 2017.

The 2013 budget is $24.7 million, which represents an overall increase of $600,000 from last year. This includes a number of items that are specific to certain service areas. When those items are set aside, the 2013 operating budget for services shared by most municipalities and electoral areas in the region, represents a 3.2% decrease from 2012. “The Board and staff have worked diligently to maintain service levels and keep increases to a minimum. I am pleased with the budget we’ve adopted,” says RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay. It is important to understand that there is a difference between the numbers in the budget and the effect those numbers will have on individual tax rates.

Residents of the RDEK will be affected differently, depending on the municipality or electoral area in which they live. On average, rural residential properties in the RDEK will see approximately a 1.3% overall increase in their tax levy.

“Unlike a municipal-

ity that has one boundary and one set of taxpayers, different areas of the RDEK require different services and these are paid for only by the taxpayers of each specific service area,” explains Gay. “In addition, even though there may be increases in the requisition amount, new development in parts of the region will offset some of that impact on RDEK taxpayers.”

Tax calculations are expected to be complete by early-April when 2013 revised assessed values are available.

Highlights in the 2013 budget include a

grant for the Cranbrook Homeless Shelter, along with funding for the final closure of the old Fernie Landfill, Agricultural Plan, Columbia Valley Community Directed Funds Commit-

tee and Elk Valley Community Directed Funds Committee.

The 5-Year Plan for 2013-2017 was formally adopted by the RDEK Board at its March Board meeting

Games without frontiers NOTICE: The names, including my own, of the children in the following history have been changed for fear of reprisals, probably from beyond the grave.

There I was, in my dotage, right next to the chesterfield, not doing anything of relevance except half watching TV commercials being interrupted by an old film about Robin Hood when I slowly discovered myself, aged about 11, with my own band of merry men in a small wood that we had labelled Sherwood Forest.

Well, when I write “my” band, I have to recall that I was never permitted to play the hero, Robin Hood, despite owning my mother’s old hat with a feather in it and a pair of her discarded stockings dyed green.

I was always relegated to the role of Little John because I happened to be, at that juncture, the tallest member of the band.

Maeve, she a year older than me and with mean fists and even sharper knees, was usually a bossy Robin Hood. Frank, a portly lad with an odd accent, was invariably Friar Tuck, despite being Jewish. However, at that time it didn’t matter because not one of us knew that a friar was a Christian monk of sorts.

Sometimes other kids aspired to join our merry band and were told to be sundry other characters like the Sheriff of Notting-um, King John, Will Scarlet or even

the sheriff’s men that we could shoot arrows at. The games were, after all, a bit like war.

Maeve should have played Will Scarlet because she had a great red rain-coat with a hood and matching rubber boots but she wouldn’t demean herself with such a lowly, feminine role so that part was played

by Lionel, Maeve’s younger brother.

Maeve, it seems, had been brought up as an only child and this fact seemed to have affected Lionel. I don’t think that we thought of him as strange when he wore his mother’s long dress and sported a wimple. We just assumed that he was limp-wristed, Peter effeminate. His sister cerwasn’t.

Warland tainly Our Sherwood Forest had previous been Maeve’s Hundred Acre Wood in which she had bullied others into playing Winnie-the-Pooh games. She usually started being Pooh Bear but preferred bounding about growling and being Tigger. Lionel usually got relegated to the part of Piglet or, if he was in favour, the role of Pooh.

However, when she got a scholarship to grammar school, Maeve switched over to my favourite Robin Hood games and, naturally, took over and made Lionel into Maid Marion in which role he, apparently, was quite happy to play the female lead; at least he didn’t get struck by a quarter staff nor impaled by willow twig arrows. The

rest of us did; It was war.

Three years later, Lionel joined the rugby team in his school. This was possibly to prove his masculinity. Rugby is a warlike game in which two teams try to destroy each other and, sometimes, get an odd shaped ball over a ‘try’ line, although this act is not considered important. After playing war with us in our Sherwood Forest, Lionel apparently survived ‘rugger’ quite well.

Then the war intervened; we went our separate ways, some of us evacuated to safer places, others stayed put with their families and then played war games in the ruins of their houses.

I didn’t see any of the others until, one dull day after the real war was over, I ran into Maeve. We were both in RAF uniforms but recognized each other immediately.

“Corporal,” said Maeve immediately. “You are supposed to salute. And get that jacket buttoned up.” She was a flight lieutenant, administration, very stern looking. I buttoned my jacket and even saluted, reminding myself that it is merely the uniform that one salutes, then Maeve actually relaxed just a little. I risked, “I see you’re doing well, ma’am. How’s Lionel?”

Maeve frowned. “Pooh is in hospital.”

“War wounds?” I asked.

Maeve actually smiled. “Rugby,” she said. “He broke his leg playing rugby. He missed the real war because he broke his silly leg playing rugby.”

Opinion/Events The Cranbrook and District Hospital JANUS: Cranbrook Then & Now

Jim Cameron By the mid 1950s it was obvious that the old St. Eugene Hospital, a warhorse of local health for over half a century, was no longer meeting the requirements of the district.

Grand old building that she was it was time to move on.

In 1959, a small local committee was formed to investigate the possibility of a new hospital. To say that the next decade would be a time of trial and tribulation for the volunPhoto courtesy Lynn Downey teers dedicated to the conThe original Cranbrook & District Hospital struction of the new building would be an understatement indeed.

It seemed simple at first: request a survey of the district medical needs from the B.C. Health Insurance Services (forerunner of the present Medicare system), apply to the government for funding and build a hospital.

Not quite. The BCHIS, only just managing to right the ship after years of confusion, mismanagement and underfunding, needed to approve the survey before they themselves would undertake the survey.

It didn’t happen. Not in 1959, nor 1960. They refused to bow to local pleading, threats or the fact that the St. Eugene Photo Jim Cameron Hospital was scheduled to The East Kootenay Regional Hospital today.

Buono has mixed feelings about CFL’s fine against Eskimos DAN R ALPH Canadian Press

B.C. Lions GM Wally Buono has mixed emotions about the CFL’s decision to fine the Edmonton Eskimos for violating its tampering rules.

“When I see the CFL do this, a part of me is unhappy because of the fact that there obviously must have been an indiscretion,” he said. “But the other part of me is extremely happy that the league is monitoring everyone’s activities and making it such that everyone is playing by the same rules.”

On Wednesday, the league slapped the Eskimos with a $10,000 fine for the violation when signing freeagent defensive lineman Odell Willis. Edmonton announced the addition of Willis on Feb. 15, mere min-

utes after the noon ET start of free agency.

There have long been persistent whispers that some CFL teams speak to perspective free agents during the period before the league-mandated start of free agency. Players compound the situation by talking among themselves, as every off-season there are those who will try to sway potential free agents their way in order to make their teams stronger.

But what was most peculiar - and ultimately damning about Edmonton’s announcement was the timing of it. The Eskimos sent out a release about having signed Willis just four minutes after he had officially become a free agent after spending the 2012 season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Eskimos president Len Rhodes responded by saying in a statement the club respected “the position taken by the Canadian Football League and commissioner Mark Cohon.

As a result we feel that no other public comment is necessary nor will it be forthcoming from the Eskimo organization.”

Curlers return from provincials Kimberley high school team soaks up experience of high level competition in Kamloops

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The high school team of Alysha Buchy, Julia and Kira Dereniwsky and Haylie Farquhar have returned from provincials in Kamloops, and while their trip didn’t translate into results they wanted, they all cherished the experience of their first major competition.

The four had a record of two wins and five losses, but they gave it their best shot in every game as they played against some pretty tough teams, said coach Tom Buchy.

“They played really hard and the one thing that really impressed me, was that they never gave up when they were down,” said Tom Buchy. “They never

showed any discouragement or anything, they were always very positive and every shot they tried their best.

“I was so impressed with how they battled hard with each shot and just tried their best and the outcome is what it is.”

The girls lost their first four games, but won the fifth at a score of 9-4 over College

Heights Secondary School, which finished tied for third in the tournament.

The girls then won their second game in a row, with a 9-3 victory against St. Thomas Moore out of Vancouver, before wrapping it up with a loss to South Kamloops Secondary.

It was the first time the team has played in a tournament setting

where they played a couple games in one day of competition.

“It was tough, and there wasn’t a lot of time to recover after games, but it was just a different experience and it was fun,” said Julie Dereniwsky, a Grade 11 student who plays third.

Ice on the road for brief swing through U.S. division TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Ice are cruising down the final stretch of the WHL regular season and are heading across the border to do battle with the Tri-City Americans in their only meeting of the season on Friday night.

The Ice and the U.S. Division teams—with the exception of Spokane—meet only once a year and take turns going on the road to meet up with each other. Last year, the Americans, Winterhawks, Thunderbirds and Silvertips came up to Western Financial Place, but Kootenay has already made most of their appearances below the 49th parallel this season.

After facing Tri-City, the Ice

will head into Spokane for their fourth and final meeting on Saturday.

Kootenay is coming off of a pair of losses to the Red Deer Rebels, with only one win in their last three games.

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill wasn’t happy with the team’s mental preparation, a key he identified as one of the reasons the team struggled against Red Deer.

“We’ve provided the foundation for how the team needs to play to be successful against anybody, and we’ve proved that,” said McGill, referencing the their success in the second half of the season. “Now they have to bring the intangibles to the game that give them the opportunity to have success

within the game as individuals, but most importantly, as a team.”

Ice forward Jordyn Boyd was in the U.S. Division last year, playing for the Everett Silvertips, where he faced the Americans eight times.

“I know that they’re a really skilled group,” said Boyd. “The got a good top-six, they can put the puck in the net. They got quality top-six D-men, too, so they’re just a good, all-around team.”

Boyd said the team needs to be focused right from when the bus pulls into Kennewick on Thursday evening, and channel that energy into the game.

“We’re just going to have to stick to our game plan, which is play a full 60, because you can’t

take that team lightly, they’re one of the best teams in the Western Conference,” added Boyd.

McGill notes that the team has improved their performance on the road, but wants everyone to sharpen up even more, especially since Kootenay doesn’t have home-ice advantage for the playoffs.

“You have to be really sharp in your preparation and understand that you got to be a simpler team on the road and you really got to stay focused for any types of changes in momentum, and that’s the biggest thing we need to be aware of.”

The Ice need seven points in order to clinch a playoff spot and prevent the Hurricanes from overtaking eighth place.

Hoflin improving with help from goalie coach Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski may have picked up the WHL’s goaltender of the month for February, but he’s only one half of the goaltending duo for team.

Wyatt Hoflin is in his first year in the WHL, cracking the roster at training camp and has played the backup role to Skaspki, appearing in 14 games this season.

The two goaltenders have been under the tutelage of Mike Bergren, who was hired on as the goaltending coach in November, following the resignation of Justin Cardinal, who previously held the position,

in September.

Begren works with World Pro Goaltending, based in Calgary, and has a connection with the Kootenay Ice, as he has worked with alumnus Jeff Glass in the past three off-seasons.

Hoflin hasn’t been getting a lot of game time experience in his rookie year, which means he has to earn his chance to start in the crease, which begins in practice, said Bergren.

“He’s got to put himself in the mindset that each start he has, he’s going to earn, and he’s going to earn with all the work he puts in,” said Bergren. “…That’s how he’s going to get better throughout this year

and into next year, is embrace that role a little bit but be picky with his game and understand that that’s just part of the process. You don’t get thrown in as a rookie guy to play a ton of games—it just doesn’t happen.”

Wyatt Hoflin Hoflin’s first year in the WHL is a jump up from Midget AAA, where he played last year with the St. Alberts Raiders.

“With Wyatt, he’s

[Bergren] done a good job of trying to break some habits that are created through minor hockey and habits that we need to correct to become a successful goalie in the Western Hockey League, and there’s a big difference,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

Bergren said Hoflin can use his size to his advantage, but needs to learn how to take his technical skills and apply them during practices and games.

“The biggest thing with Wyatt, coming in, is he can technically do all that stuff,” said Bergren, “he just needs to continue how to put it together each time he’s on the ice and do it the way it makes him suc-

cessful.”

Hoflin has noticed Bergren’s impact on his game.

“He’s done a good job of bringing me back under control where sometimes I can be a little wild, and he just understands those are small movements—not moving too much, not moving too little,” Hoflin said.

The young 18-yearold recognizes his role as backup to Skapski, but knows there is opportunity for him if he works for it.

“It’s just being patient, working hard in practice and although you’re not getting the playing time, there are always things you can be working on,” Hoflin said.

Canada’s Brett Lawrie to miss World Baseball Classic T yler Harper Canadian Press

GOODYEAR, Ariz. Torn between playing injured for his country or staying healthy for his team, Brett Lawrie opted to take off the Maple Leaf so that he won’t miss any games with the Toronto Blue Jays.

A rib strain forced Lawrie off Canada’s roster one day before the team’s first game at the World Baseball Classic.

Lawrie felt discomfort in his left side during an exhibition game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.

The third baseman is a former junior national team member and played for Canada at the 2008 Summer Games.

Lawrie, who was visibly disappointed, said it was more important to rest as he watched his teammates work out at Chase Field on Thursday.

“It’s tough for me but it’s tough on everybody,” said Lawrie.

“This is a situation

that doesn’t come around a whole lot, and just to have it kind of taken away just from something so small like this is frustrating for me just because I’ve worked so hard this off-season and this whole spring training to get myself ready for this.”

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said the team expected Lawrie to be out two-to-three weeks “on the conservative side” and could be ready for opening day. A right oblique injury cost Lawrie two months with Toronto last season.

“I asked him about last year and he said what he had last year was 10 times worse than this,” Anthopoulos said from Baltimore’s spring training facility in Sarasota, Fla., where the Blue Jays were facing the Orioles in exhibition play. “But he knows obviously there was something there and he was smart to take himself

out. He felt something going to his left on a groundball and felt something on a swing but he was smart enough having been through it to not take any chances.

“I’m still a part of Team Canada but I don’t think I will be competing in the first round, probably nor the next. ” Brett Lawrie “He’ll be back on Monday, he’ll get some more exams, but he said it has improved today.

It’s just one of those things that you need to rest. It’s very mild, which is certainly good news, and they’re saying twoto-three weeks on the really conservative side, which means there’s obviously a chance that it’s sooner than that.”

The Langley, B.C., native said he made the mistake of trying to play injured last year and that he had learned from the experience.

Playing a handful of games for Canada, Lawrie said, wasn’t worth risking his major-league season.

“It needs time to heal,” he said. “This is not something that can be healed overnight nor the next day. Only time will tell. So as of right now I’m still part of Team Canada but I don’t think I will be competing in the first round, probably nor the next.

“Now it’s all about getting myself ready for the beginning of the season. Paying my dues to my club and trying to get myself back to square one and trying to get myself healthy and that’s the number one goal right now.”

Anthopoulos said Lawrie’s experience with injuries helped him make an informed

choice on how to handle the rib strain.

“I think so because last year I remember it happened and he was like ‘Oh, I just need a day or two. I’ll play, I’ll play through it.’ He didn’t realize, he didn’t know what it was,” Anthopoulos said. “Having gone through the experience, it was 10 times worse last year, and he missed about six weeks or something. The fact that it’s mild, that he caught it early means he shouldn’t miss too much time.”

The loss of Lawrie is poor timing for Canada, which begins opening-round play against Italy on Friday.

Lawrie’s news came the same day Reds slugger Joey Votto joined Canada for the first time.

Votto, the team’s best batter, had held out committing to Canada until Monday while he made sure his knee was healthy following surgery last year.

NHLPA agrees to league realignment C anadian Press

TORONTO - It looks like the NHL is getting a new look.

Agreement on a realignment plan was announced in a pair of short statements from the NHL Players’ Association and the league.

The NHLPA said it has agreed to realignment next season, to be re-evaluated following the 2014-15 season.

The league confirmed the move, saying the next step is to take the plan to the league’s board of governors.

Neither side revealed the plan but it is widely believed to have two conferences, each with two divisions.

Detroit shifts to the East and Winnipeg moves to the West.

The Eastern Conference would look like this:

Atlantic Division: Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington.

Central Division: Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Toronto.

The Western Conference would shape up this way: Midwest Division: Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, Winnipeg.

Pacific Division: Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose, Vancouver.

That means 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West.

Top three teams from each conference would advance to the playoffs along with the next two teams in the conference with the most points.

Howard rink still undefeated at Brier with eighth win C anadian Press

EDMONTON - Ontario’s Glenn Howard remains undefeated after eight games at the Canadian men’s curling championship.

The defending champion downed Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador 6-5 in a battle of teams that have been frontrunners at the Tim Hortons Brier.

Howard tops the standings at 8-0, while Gushue drops to 7-2.

The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday advance to the Page playoffs. Ties for fourth will

be solved by tiebreaker games.

Three-time champion Jeff Stoughton was in the playoff hunt at 7-1 with a 6-5 victory over New Bunswick’s James Grattan.

Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard was 6-2 ahead of Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs at 5-3.

Both have games to play at night.

Alberta’s Kevin Martin and Saskatchewan’s Brock Virtue were to meet in the evening draw in a battle of 4-4 teams.

Alberta defeated Prince Edward Island 7-2 for a third straight win.

Kimberley curlers enjoy provincial experience Continued from page 8 “Even though we did play really well as a team, it’s still difficult, because lots of teams have been practising many years together, so it’s just one of those things to think about— even though we practice every week or so, there are still other teams that do this everyday.”

Julia’s younger sister,

Kira, agreed.

“It was interesting, because most teams practice all year-round, but we just practice in the winter,” Kira said.

However, despite that, Kira said the team was able to compete with everyone else.

Even though they faced some tough teams, it was a good ex-

perience and the team learned a lot about what it takes to compete at the provincial level, said skip Alysha Buchy.

“We learned lots about the ice and how much rotation you have to throw and our team worked really good together,” Alysha said.

“Even if we were down in a game, we just tried to stay positive.”

Grant Farquhar, who coaches alongside Tom Buchy, said the tournament was a good way for the girls to meet other curlers in their age category—as they compete in the mixed adult league in Kimberley— and build some camaraderie with other high school teams.

Farquhar’s daughter, Haylie, plays lead for the

Selkirk team and enjoyed the atmosphere at the tournament and the chance to get to know some of the girls from other schools.

“We learned a lot of new stuff and it was really cool, especially in the opening ceremonies, to stand there with all the other teams—to me it felt like I was in the Olympics,” Haylie said.

Connors urged musicians to write, sing about Canada Nick Patch Canadian Press

TORONTO — Stompin’ Tom Connors was remembered Thursday as an icon and a prodigious songwriter who cared so fiercely about representing his country that he never saw fit to chase riches outside Canada’s borders — despite worldwide respect.

“He was a true original.

He was a storyteller-troubadour and a tremendous promoter of the Canadian identity in a very down-to-earth, storyteller kind of way,’’ said former EMI Canada president Deane Cameron.

The death of Connors on Wednesday at age 77 touched off a flood of remembrances across the country, including public tributes from the likes of k.d. lang, Bryan Adams and even children’s entertainer Raffi.

From hockey coaches, to friends and cherished musical peers, scores of Canadians took a moment to pay tribute to the one-of-a-kind songwriter.

Folk singer/songwriter J.P. Cormier met Connors back in 1990. A fledgling musician, Cormier was 19 years

old at the time and completely broke.

Cormier had grown up “really, really poor,’’ just like Connors, who lived hand-tomouth as a youngster, begged on the street at age four and hitchhiked across Canada at the ripe age of 12, snapping up odd jobs as a grave digger, tobacco picker and fry cook.

The multi-instrumentalist Cormier was hired by Connors as the utilityman on his comeback tour. Starstruck, Cormier went to Connors’ house and the country legend sized up his raggedy duds over the kitchen table.

“He said: ‘Go to town and get some clothes for the tour.’

And he handed me in 500 dollars in cash. When he put it in my hand, I started crying. And his wife looked at me and said, ‘What’s wrong?’

I said, ‘This is the most money I’ve had in my hand in my life.’’’

Eventually, Cormier says Connors “became like a father to me.’’ And he said that Connors’ insistence upon writing about Canadian cities and people, rather than chasing riches Stateside, was a sadly unique position for a

Stompin’ Tom Connors: 1936-2013. marquee Canadian artist.

“He tried so hard to get us to embrace our own country and our own ways, and not take on the ways of the Americans and the American industry. He tried so hard to get us to do that. And frankly, nobody has. Nobody’s done it,’’ said Cormier.

“He was so unique — he could have easily been a (Grand Ole) Opry character.

There’s no question that he could have done that. He could have went down and written about America and

about the same things that they wrote about. He chose not to do that.’’

Nova Scotia folksinger Dave Gunning’s relationship with Connors dates back to 2002, when he was hired to play upright bass on his tour.

But his history with Connors goes back longer than that.

When he attended Saint Mary’s University in Halifax in the early ‘90s, the two most popular bands to soundtrack floor parties were Connors and the Tragi-

cally Hip. He learned about Canadian history through Connors’ music, listening to the black-hatted performer’s gritty voice sing about the Frank Slide disaster in the Northwest Territories or tobacco farming in Tillsonburg, Ont. “Remove Stompin’ Tom from the equation, and Canada would be a much more boring place,’’ Gunning said in a telephone interview.

“He’s truly ours, and only we can truly understand it.

He never really left the borders too often. He loved Canada.’’

In an interview with CTV, another Canadian icon — Gordon Lightfoot — remarked on Connors’ astonishing output, singling out “The Hockey Song’’ in particular.

“It really is a powerful song to hear onstage although it is a very light-hearted song,’’ said Lightfoot.

“He was a powerful entertainer and he had a powerful voice. He was a great player, he always had great musicians working with him.’’

Cameron, meanwhile, noted that Connors was an

inspiration to other musicians because of his commitment to his message.

“He was a man of conviction, everybody knew that he stood for certain things, Canadianism being at the top of that list.’’

Gunning and Cormier both consider themselves to be following in Connors’ lineage, writing honestly about Canadian history.

But there’s no one with Connors’ considerable profile left doing so, and given how often the plain-spoken Canuck star lamented his lack of radio play, it seems unlikely his unique brand of Canadian-focused folk storytelling will find continued prominence.

“I think it’s been lost — it was lost long ago,’’ Cormier said. “That’s the saddest part. We really have to start being proud of who we are, and stop measuring ourselves against everybody else.

“Canada is just filled with talent. And we have to stop measuring our success against anybody — Americans, Europeans.... We have to start embracing ourselves.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to news. Events evoke a strong response. You might not be aware of your limits and choices, but you likely will decide that the best place to be is in charge. Look to your longterm goals. Let go of a need to have certain things go your way.

Tonight: TGIF. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pressure builds. Step forward and handle situations your way. You might not be so sure of yourself once you dive into a personal matter. You will gain through your efforts. Others see you as resourceful and dynamic.

Tonight: Lead your friends into some fun playtime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others find you to be unusually fortunate and able to deal with various types of situations. Use your skills to listen to others, and also to get past an immediate issue. Your smile helps others trust you. Do not push past your limits. Tonight: Where the good

times are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Deal with others directly, and you’ll get your desired response.

Your instincts guide you as to how to handle a difficult situation. You also might want to schedule a personal meeting without others knowing about it. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Note how many people are looking for you. You will have many sets of plans and options for company from which to choose. Your instincts tell you “the more, the merrier.” Schedule a late lunch with a co-worker or a friend. Tonight: Do only want your heart desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel burdened by someone’s requests, but you will do your best to meet them.

Unfortunately, you might be the person left holding the bag at the end of the day. Do what you need to do. Follow through on an offer. Tonight: Do not take someone’s comment personally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

Your playfulness emerges when dealing with others. You might want to rethink a personal matter and make an adjustment.

When you change, others gradually seem to change as well.

Use care with your finances, as your budget might be tight. Tonight: Start your weekend right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your instincts point to working from home. Someone’s quirky behavior might be the direct result of a perceived coldness from you. You have options; study each one, and consider the end results. It will be crucial to know what you want. Tonight: Stay close to your pad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use care with your finances once more, even if funds are on the plus side. Consider your checking account to be a train station, and your money the train. The train constantly is entering the station, but it leaves just as quickly. Tonight: Where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Watch what’s happening with a loved one. An opinion you have

held for a while could change as a result of a new experience. Be resourceful in how you approach others. Know that it will take an abundance of mental and/or physical energy to stay focused.

Tonight: Head home early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Decide to handle a personal matter directly. Understand more of what is happening within a key relationship. Others currently remain highly responsive to your energy. A child really enjoys being with you, and he or she is learning from you. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Consider taking at least part of today off, as you need some downtime. You have been pushing very hard for various reasons. Everyone has their limits -- you included. Be smart and take care of yourself. Listen to a family member’s opinions.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Two years ago, I married my best friend. I’ve been with her for 10 years.

She has two teenage children from a previous marriage. When we all moved in together nine years ago, there were a few struggles, but I felt they were not unusual and we could overcome them.

But now it’s worse. I believe part of the problem is that my wife does not provide any structure in the children’s lives. She would rather be a friend than a parent, and as a result, they do not respect either of us. My wife is defensive when it comes to criticism or suggestions about her kids. She always takes their side.

Last week, my 17-year-old stepson asked for an expensive item. When he heard me say “no,” he flipped out. He was full of rage, and it is obvious that he has pent-up anger toward me. I have raised this kid for half of his life and have provided for him when his own father wouldn’t. I don’t have the finances to provide luxury items, and while this has caused tension in the past, I don’t deserve to be spoken to that way and said so.

I gave him an ultimatum. I told him to say everything he needs to in order to clear the air, and after that, he will no longer be allowed in our home. He should live with his father.

My wife has essentially told me that I’m the bad guy here. Am I wrong to believe in old-fashioned discipline? I fear that when I need her the most, my wife won’t be by my side. I refuse to be treated like this, but I’m also scared of losing what I love the most. Is our marriage already over? -- Trying To Be a Stepdad Dear Trying: We understand your frustration and agree that your wife should be dealing with this in a more effective manner. But you cannot give ultimatums to your wife’s children unless she backs you up. You are overstepping your authority. If she is forced to choose between you and her children, you will lose. Teenagers have their own category of parenting requirements. Please check out the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info) for information and suggestions.

Dear Annie: Four friends and I recently spent two hours cleaning up another friend’s apartment when she moved. We all came to the same conclusion: Get rid of your stuff!

Please tell people to go through their closets once in a while and throw out or donate old clothes. How many purple tops do you need? How many gewgaws must you have in your collection? If they accumulate dust, you have too many. Take a picture of your teddy bears and dolls, and you’ll have them forever.

No one is going to care for these things when you can’t do it any longer. May as well donate them now and let someone else enjoy them. -- Four Good Friends Dear Friends: Clutter can get the best of anyone if they don’t make the effort to clean out and organize now and then. It’s nice to have friends who are willing to help. We hope your friend appreciates you.

Dear Annie: “Incredulous on Cape Cod” said, “Aren’t other people supposed to host housewarming parties?” You said, “Actually, no.” You are wrong. The answer should be “Actually, yes.” A housewarming party is hosted by someone else but at the new homeowners’ home. This can be done as a surprise or prearranged. -- Getting It Straight Dear Getting: Sorry, but you are incorrect.

Here it is straight from Emily Post, beautifully phrased: “A housewarming party is hosted by the new homeowners to welcome friends and family to their new home, to give tours and receive compliments and to serve food and have friends help ‘warm’ their residence with their caring and affection.”

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have faith

T

here’s a story at the end of the Gospel of John, just after Jesus is raised, in which he appears to the disciples. Thomas isn’t there; when the others tell him, Thomas utters the words for which he has become famous, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” (John 20: 25) It’s why he’s known as “doubting Thomas”.

Wouldn’t you think that Jesus would tell him to have more faith? But that’s not what happens. Jesus comes back and offers himself to Thomas, “See me; touch me; do not doubt but believe.” At the very end of the story, Jesus blesses “those who have not seen and yet still believe.”

Now if I’m being really honest, that’s a blessing I

would rather do without. Given the choice I would rather “see” than “believe.”

Simply put, I wish I didn’t have faith.

I don’t mean I wish I didn’t believe in God or in following Jesus or anything like that. That’s not what I mean at all. In fact, I mean just the opposite.

I wish I had knowledge. I wish I had certainty. I wish I had proof.

I wish I could have been there with Jesus and the others. I wish I could have heard him with my own ears and seen him with my own eyes.

I wish I could have seen the empty tomb, or been there to touch the risen Lord with my own hands.

The trouble is that this wasn’t enough for most of the people who had the chance I wish I had. Sure, Jesus and his disciples accu-

Rev. Yme Woensdregt mulated thousands of followers, but the majority of people in Jesus’ day didn’t join The Way. They saw just him as yet another in a long line of charismatic teachers and would–be messiahs.

I suspect, though, that if I had been there, it wouldn’t have been enough for me either, or for most of us. But there are days when I crave that kind of certainty, that kind of knowledge and assurance.

But it is not to be. And I suspect I’m not alone. We don’t like to talk about this sort of thing much, but I’m willing to bet that there are

many Christians who feel the same way. They have been taught that doubt is the opposite of faith, and so they struggle with their wonderings. They are afraid to talk about it, because they think they’ll be scorned.

But I don’t believe that doubt is the opposite of faith. In fact, I believe that faith embraces our deepest doubts, faces them head on and chooses to trust that God’s goodness is alive in the universe. We have faith precisely because we do doubt. If we didn’t doubt, we wouldn’t have faith. We would have knowledge.

One of my favourite spiritual writers, Frederick Buechner, describes doubt as “the ants in the pants of faith. It keeps it awake and moving.” Faith is a living relationship, in which we choose to trust. Faith is not

simply a head trip. It’s an ongoing, living relationship with God. It’s about giving our heart and soul in trust, and walking in the way of Jesus, trusting that God’s purposes are being born in our lives and in the universe.

That’s not a passive believing that everything is going to work out for the best. Christianity is not a foolish, Pollyanna–esque way of living. Rather, living in that kind of relationship with God involves us in a partnership to work with God for the healing of the world.

Throughout Scripture, and throughout the history of the world, God’s people have faced doubt, and continued to live in trust anyway. For many of God’s people who have faced even the deepest of doubts, those doubts have been the very

catalyst for their faith. Why? Because the more they doubted, the more they were forced to rely on God to see them through the trials that gave rise to their doubts.

I am a person of faith, not because I’m absolutely certain that God’s life is at work in the world. I am a person of faith because I choose to live in the trust and the hope that it is so. I choose, on the basis of this trust, to live as if it were so.

Some would call me a fool. That’s okay. I’ve been called worse.

But it is precisely this kind of foolishness that gives my life the goodness that keeps me working for healing and compassion to stay alive in the world.

Plants lure honeybees by spiking nectar with caffeine M a lco l m R i t t e r Associated Press

NEW YORK — Talk about a caffeine buzz: A new study says honeybees get a shot of caffeine from certain flowers, and it perks up their memory.

That spurs them to return to the same type of plant, boosting its prospects for pollination and the future of the plant species.

Maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise that one of the flowers is the coffee plant. Its nectar offers about as much caffeine concentration as a cup of instant coffee, according to researchers.

But some citrus plants serve caffeine too, albeit in lower concentrations. It’s found in the nectar of orange and grapefruit blossoms.

The caffeine helps a bee remember that the flower’s scent promises a tasty payoff, the researchers said. So the bee will seek out those flowers, transferring their pollen.

How could researchers tell the caffeine boosts a bee’s memory?

In an experiment that used lab tools instead of flowers, they trained individual bees to expect a sugary drink when they smelled a certain floral scent.

Some bees got nectar-like concentrations

of caffeine in their drink; others didn’t.

Then after a day or more, they exposed the insects to the same scent and watched to see if they extended their feeding tubes in response, a sign they

were ready to sip. After 24 hours, the bees that had gotten caffeine were three times as likely to remember as bees that hadn’t. After 72 hours, they were twice as likely.

Bees can’t taste caf-

feine at levels found in nectar, but the researchers found it affects certain brain cells involved in memory.

strong evidence that coffee and citrus plants use the caffeine strategy. Now the question is how many plants might use this trick, he said in an email. After all, bees pollinate thousands of

species.

Wright said in an email that other plants are now under study, but that only about 100 species can make caffeine.

Number crunching Dear Wendy: I am in grade 12 this year and I’m having problems with math. I was wondering if you see me passing this subject? I was also wondering if you see me fulfilling my life purpose and am I on the right path with the career I have chosen?

Will my sister come and live with my mom and me this year? My mom is feeling sad that my sister chose to go and live with my dad for one year.

I believe in what you do and say because my girlfriend went to you for a reading and she said everything you told her has come true.

I hope you can give me some advice and positive feedback answering my questions.

Feeling Insecure Dear Feeling Insecure: Don’t feel insecure, you are such a nice girl.

You will be having trouble with math now and when you are in university. However, do not panic; we feel that you need to get a tutor to help you with your math problems this year. You may also need a tutor off and on when you go to University. If you have a teacher that can help you for awhile, you will catch on quite quickly in this subject. You just need a little help while in high school and in university that’s all.

We definitely see you passing math in 2013.

You will be graduating in 2013 with no troubles at all.

Please heed our advice and obtain a tutor and you will see that your anxiety will go down when studying math in the future. I asked my guides if you were on the right path career-wise and the answer was a definite yes I read this little joke on Facebook today and I thought of the email that you sent me; it goes something like this. Dear Algebra: Please stop asking us to find your x. She’s never coming back and I don’t know y.

Anyway, what I’m getting at is stop worry-

ASK WENDY

Wendy Evano ing. We feel that you are going to do just fine and have a career that you really enjoy.

Your sister will not be coming home to live with you and your mom for at least another two years. She will be coming home to visit on holidays and for the summer. I think your sister needs to learn that she had a good life when she was living with you and your mom. I don’t think she will be entirely happy living with your dad. The delay will be that she will meet a boy and have a short term relationship with him and when that is ended she will return home and live with your mom. I also think that it is good for your mom to have a break from your sister.

She can be quite disruptive at times. On the positive side this will give you and your mom more time to spend together before you go off to University.

We also feel that in your third year of University you may just find Mr. Right. He has light brown hair and quite tall. He is a really nice guy and quite a social butterfly. You will have to let me know.

Sometimes these visions just come when I am doing a reading for someone. You are a kind and compassionate person and deserve the very best.

Wendy For personal and over the phone readings contact Wendy @ 4262121 or email me @ wevano@shaw.ca if you want to ask me any questions. All questions are free when you email me or write to me at the Townsman.

Senior abuse hotline expanded Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C. government has announced a $1 million boost to its seniors’ abuse protection programs, including extending the hours for a hotline to report suspicions of abuse or neglect.

The bulk of the funding is to allow the Vancouver-based Seniors Abuse and Information Line to extend its hours to 12 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers information, advice and emotional support for seniors and their friends and relatives who suspect elderly people are being abused or taken advantage of.

The number is 604-437-1940 in Metro Vancouver and toll-free province-wide at 1-866437-1940.

Saanich councillor and former MLA Susan Brice, a volunteer with the seniors’ support organization Silver Threads, said members see cases of abuse frequently.

“It’s the elderly woman who comes to her craft class with unexplained bruises,” Brice said. “It’s the couple who lose thousands of dollars through a telemarketing scam. And it’s the quiet-speaking

Black Press

Saanich Councillor Susan Brice, Parksville-Qualicum MLA Ron Cantelon and Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan announce new funding for senior protection organizations at the B.C. legislature Wednesday. gentleman, who while living with family, appears neglected and uncared for.”

Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan said he has encountered abuse and exploitation of seniors in his own family, and it comes up frequently as he has traveled B.C. asking seniors and their caregivers what they need from government.

In an interview, Sultan acknowledged that the funding is a modest

effort to bolster volunteer efforts.

“It is a beginning step, but it also reflects the fact that this problem can not be solved top-down,” Sultan said.

“It will have to be solved bottom-up by mobilizing many different organizations around the province.”

The B.C. government also provided $1.4 million last year to the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks, for preven-

tion and education to reduce elder abuse and neglect.

Katrine Conroy, NDP critic for seniors, said she agrees with extra support for the information line, which is supported by lawyers and other experts to help seniors find help.

“Anything that’s done to eliminate elder abuse is a good thing,” Conroy said. “The community resource networks are really

good organizations.”

She added that the government’s proposed Seniors’ Advocate is inadequate, because it is not an independent office and won’t deal with individual cases.

Sultan said the advocate is to help develop policies to protect seniors, and a federal study being funded partly by the program will provide the information needed to to that.

Aggressive Kelowna dog spared death Diesel languishing in pound as search for new owner stalls Canadian Press

KELOWNA, B.C. — Diesel, the aggressive German shep-

herd-rottweiler cross is still languishing in a cell in Kelowna, B.C. The notorious

pooch won a stay of execution last month, but can’t bust out of the dog pound until a

God can fire you, and will Church pastor exhorts congregation to act against Manitoba anti-bullying bill C a n a d i a n Pre s s

STEINBACH, Man. — A pastor has told parishioners at a large southern Manitoba church that God can remove people from their jobs if they don’t oppose the provincial government’s proposed anti-bullying bill.

Pastor Ray Duerksen cited federal, provincial and municipal politicians, school trustees and other prominent local citizens in his Feb. 24 sermon to the Southland Church

congregation in Steinbach.

The sermon came hours before a public meeting that drew 1,200 people to Steinbach Christian High School to oppose the legislation.

Duerksen is not commenting on the sermon, but Southland Church has scheduled a prayer session on Bill 18 for Friday evening.

The bill guarantees any student in a public or private school who asks to form a gay-straight alliance must be supported by the school.

B.C. Supreme Court judge decides who can pick the dog’s new owner— the regional district or Diesel’s former owner, Dave Smith.

The hearing was supposed to take place Feb. 22 but is now set for March 22.

A dog-control officer seized Diesel from Smith’s Peachland home on March 11, 2011.

Smith is upset the dog, now age seven, must continue waiting at the pound.

The judge upheld a lower court’s decision to declare Diesel dangerous, but ruled the dog shouldn’t be destroyed and can be ad-

opted out.

Justice Geoff Barrow said Smith is “both unreliable and profoundly irresponsible’’ in the dog’s care and control.

He set aside the death sentence ordered by a provincial court judge on condition that the two sides work out who decides where Diesel will go.

Smith’s neighbours have complained about Diesel since 2006 and court heard Smith was cited 13 times over four years for failing to control his pet.

They say Diesel fights with other pets, is aggressive and unsocialized, and terrorizes area cats.

Shaw was able to find a replacement — Bruce Kirkby, who road to the rescue at the last moment with power point in hand.

“He came with under an hour’s notice, which was so good of him,” Shaw said.
