EK Crime Stoppers in danger of shutting down if volunteer board members don’t step forward SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Last month, 14 people phoned East Kootenay Crime Stoppers to anonymously report something they had seen that may have been a crime.

The information received in those 14 calls led the RCMP to make 11 arrests, recover $22,000 worth of stolen

property, seize $7,500 worth of drugs, and take possession of one weapon.

Without Crime Stoppers, those crimes would go unnoticed, according to Al Sismey, a member of the B.C. Crime Stoppers Advisory Board, who was in Cranbrook last week making a last ditch effort to save the struggling non-profit.

The Spirit of Earth Day was combined with the outré world of fashion once again at the Tamarack Centre, Monday, April 22.

The third annual Trashion Fashion Show, courtesy of the art students of Mount Baker Secondary School, presented a new take on haute couture. Students from Grades 10, 11 and 12 participated in the show, the costumes for which were entirely created from reusable and recyclable materials. See Page 21 for more.

A group of 67 residents put their names on a petition asking the city to reconstruct the brick retaining wall on 1st Street South and Victoria Avenue. The petition also asks for better maintenance of 1st Street South.

Brian Kostiuk, who lives in the area, collected the signatures and submitted a list of what residents hope the city will look at again.

The complaint focuses mostly on the retaining wall, which limits sight lines as vehicles attempt to enter onto Victoria Avenue.

The first truckload of beer vats arrived Wednesday for the Fisher Peak Brew Pub, the new microbrewery opening soon downtown (the restaurant formerly known as Heidi’s). The shipment included brewing kettles and storage vats, some to be located upstairs in the facility and some downstairs, where the alchemy will take place. Another truckload is due soon. The brewhouse/restaurant is scheduled to open in early June.

Merits of funding cultural celebration debated In a past council meeting, some councillors were worried that if they give money to one group, they may end up having to give to every group.

Coun. Bob Whetham said he had concerns with council looking as if it is giving priority to one group.

Whetham said when he was in Fort McMurray the council designated one day for all cultures to celebrate their heritage, which was also on Canada Day. “I do have a lot of discomfort about indi-

vidual groups coming forward for special consideration,” he said.

The mayor said the reality is there are not a lot of cultural groups asking for this type of consideration. In fact, this was the only one.

Coun. Diana Scott agreed with Whetham on the cultural day idea.

Scott also alluded to an earlier discussion on whether council should absorb the Western Financial Place rental fees for the high school prom celebration.

“Everyone is worthy, but it’s hard to grant ev-

Intersection dangers debated Continued from page 1

Cranbrook in Motion committee.”

Mayor Stetski noted that an option discussed at one time was just to close the access altogether, though that proved unpopular with residents.

Pallesen said the key is to drive defensively and conscientiously, since there are blind corners everywhere, not just in Cranbrook.

Coun. Diana Scott agreed with Pallesen. She said that after using the intersection quite often, she hasn’t found a problem.

“The onus is on the driver,” she said. “Rolling stops are illegal for a reason.”

Coun. Sharon Cross hoped there would be some creative solutions to come from the committee.

Council voted to send the petition back though the Cranbrook in Motion committee.

motion.

Coun. Gerry Warner thought it was ironic that the city was considering putting money toward this celebration, when the plans for Canada Day celebrations were still up in the air.

He also suggested calling the June 8 celebra-

tion “multicultural day.”

Stetski clarified that Canada Day events will be happening, it just isn’t certain how big they will be.

The original motion was defeated, but council agreed on providing the rental of Spirit Square.

Sea can plan gets 1st scan Storage shipping containers may soon be regulated A rn e Pe t rys h e n

Cranbrook city council gave first and second reading to a zoning amendment bylaw that regulates the use of shipping containers used for storage in the city.

Zoning amendment bylaw 3769 amends sections of the zoning bylaw to update definitions and add regulations regarding the use of shipping containers in commercial, industrial and public institutional zones.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said his concern was that there is nothing in the bylaw about maintaining the containers, which can rust and look unsightly.

City staff noted the zoning bylaw wouldn’t be the place for that, but the unsightly premises bylaw might be. The city could also make shipping containers subject to a development per-

mit process. Staff said, however, that the latter deals more with form and character, rather than maintenance.

The city wanted to update regulations that deal with shipping containers in the city to allow Public Works to use a number of them as storage in its year.

The bylaw would allow up to six containers used for storage on a parcel and would include C-2 highway commercial, M-1, M-2 and M-3 industrial and P-3 public utility zones.

Containers would also have to meet property line setback regulations as well as three metre fire separation between containers.

They would also not be eligible for human occupancy.

A business owner suggested that the containers be used for school art project canvasses.

“You could actually use them to make the city more vibrant,” Stetski said. “That’s one option and I guess there’s nothing preventing that.”

City staff went over the bylaws with Miles Chisholm, who owns Freightliner of Cranbrook. Chisholm said the amendments were reasonable, said staff.

The amendment passed first and second reading and will be referred to the advisory planning commission for recommendation, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval and a public hearing at 6 p.m. on May 6 in council chambers.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said that not long ago council had referred the topic to the Cranbrook in Motion committee.

“If I remember, the Cranbrook in Motion committee of the time didn’t perceive it to be a problem,” Stetski said.

Coun. Denise Pallesen said that the concerns had come to the Cranbrook in Motion committee in past years. She said that professionals have looked at the problem.

“If folks stop at the stop sign, and then cautiously proceed forward until they can see up and down the road, the sight lines are good,” Pallesen said.

Pallesen said that the RCMP also attended some of the meetings and said it was not an issue as well.

“It’s one of those intersections where we just have to be cautious,” she said.

Coun. Gerry Warner wondered if he was away for that meeting, as he didn’t recall the decision that found the access safe.

“I’ve driven that deliberately and tested it and I don’t think those sight lines are good,” Warner said. “I’m not a professional so maybe I’m wrong.”

He said a lot of people do rolling creeps into the road, and vehicles headed down Victoria Avenue are usually going fast. Worse still is that the Rotary Trail comes down there as well, leading bikes and skateboarders into danger.

“There is real potential for serious injury or even death there,” he said. “I know we don’t like to revisit things but I would like to see this come back through the

eryone,” Scott said. “It is a slippery slope.”

Scott suggested they reimburse the rental of Spirit Square instead, which amounts to a $65 contribution.

Coun. Angus Davis said this could be a prelude to having a culture day and supported the

Should the city spend taxpayers’ money on events celebrating other cultures in Cranbrook?

That question came up in council Monday as the Filipino-Canadian Association of East Kootenay asked for $415 to host a public event to celebrate Philippine Independence Day on June 8.

The money would cover the cost of the sound system, the table rentals and the rental of Spirit Square.

Mayor Wayne Stetski

said the event warrants the city’s contribution.

“They are putting on a public event in a public park and they are inviting the citizens of Cranbrook to come and join them for four hours,” Stetski said.

“Quite frankly, if some groups of different cultures in Cranbrook want to come forward and invite the community to participate in an event like that, I’d be happy to support them as well.”

Stetski said council should be encouraging the celebration of cultures in Canada.

With Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, May 12, staff at the Westlawn Cemetery are poised for a large influx of flowers and other adornments over the days leading up to the holiday.

However, the city wishes to remind residents that only fresh cut flowers are allowed on memorials at Westlawn or alternatively artificial flowers in the mausoleum.

Any other adornments of any kind will be removed by staff.

This follows the adoption of the new City of Cranbrook Cemetery Bylaw by council in 2010 to comply with changes made to the British Columbia Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act introduced in 2004, that includes the issue of adornments.

Under the bylaw, fresh cut flowers, wreaths and floral of-

ferings may be placed in the authorized flower container during the period of March 16 to Oct. 31 in any year.

Artificial flowers may be placed in those same authorized containers from November 1 to the following March 15 in any year.

At the Westlawn Mausoleum, only artificial flowers are allowed year round in the vase provided. Flowers placed on the floor will be removed by

the caretaker without notice.

Fresh cut flowers, wreaths and natural floral offerings from a funeral procession, plant material and grave adornments associated with seasonal events or celebrations will be removed by the caretaker after seven days.

The public is invited to review the City of Cranbrook Cemetery Bylaw by visiting the City of Cranbrook website at www.cranbrook.ca.

Nelson man accused of tax evasion refuses to enter court Sam Van Schie Nelson Star

Inside the Nelson courthouse a tax evasion trial is underway, while outside the local doctor accused stands in peaceful protest, refusing to enter the building.

Warren Fischer, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who co-founded Nelson’s Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, is accused of evading about $66,000 in income taxes over three years — which carries a maxi-

mum sentence of a fine equivalent to 200 per cent the amount owed, plus two years in jail.

Fischer was expected to represent himself in the case. But when his trial began Monday morning, he remained outside the entryway of the courthouse surrounded by a dozen supporters.

He was paged several times and federal prosecutor Nils Preshaw went outside to advise him that court was in session. But he remained outside.

Judge Lisa Mrozinski ruled that the case could proceed ex parte, meaning without all parties present in the court-

room. She surmised his actions as “an attempt to frustrate court process,” and allowed the trial to proceed.

Outside the courthouse, the Star asked Fischer why he hadn’t gone inside. He said he would comment on the condition that he be referred to as “©Warren-Joseph-Darnell: Fischer™” in print, then said “we’re standing here because we’re sovereign and we do not submit to their authority over us.”

Fischer also said he was waiting for settlement on a debt contract worth a dollar amount “in the quadrillions” before he would negotiate

with the courts.

Fischer had no problem entering the courthouse for a pre-trial hearing in January, and his supporters drifted in and out of the courtroom on Monday relaying information back to him.

The two-week trial is scheduled for Nelson court for the rest of this week, then resuming the week of June 24.

If Fischer is found guilty, he will be required to appear in court for sentencing — which may require the judge to issue a warrant for his arrest and hold him in custody, if he continues to refuse to enter the courtroom.

Crime Stoppers in peril Continued from page 1 “Eighty to ninety per cent of the information that Crime Stoppers takes anonymously wouldn’t go to the police because those people won’t phone the police. They are concerned about their safety,” said Sismey.

“Crime Stoppers guarantees anonymity – people don’t have to go to court, they never have to disclose their name. It’s important to have that information coming into police.”

Crime Stoppers is a community-based volunteer organization, completely independent of the RCMP. The RCMP need the support of Crime Stoppers, Sismey said.

“There is no way our police can be the sole bearer of the crime problems in our community. We as citizens need to step up to the plate and do what we can — safely, not putting ourselves at risk.

Having more eyes and ears in the community is always a good thing.”

According to the 2011 census, there are 56,000 people living in the East Kootenay.

“And we have 30 policemen,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine of Cranbrook RCMP. “We can’t see everything; we can’t even hope to see everything. We rely on the public to give us information on things they see that are going on so we can take action and correct them.”

What’s more, it’s vital to have a way for members of the community to provide tips anonymously.

“People are afraid of retribution. There are a

Thursday, April 25, 2013

lot of people out there who would like to report things, but for one reason or another they are afraid to. This is a way to allow them to do that,” said Cpl. Prefontaine.

“There is no way our police can be the sole bearer of the crime problems in our community. We as citizens need to step up to the plate and do what we can — safely, not putting ourselves at risk.

Having more eyes and ears in the community is always a good thing.”

Al Sismey “It’s a one-way flow of information. We don’t have access to the people they are talking to. That’s something that’s important for people to understand.”

In Cranbrook, co-ordinator Eric Ausman, a municipal employee, spends a small part of his day responding to tips.

He answers to a board of directors that fundraise, raise awareness of the organization, hand out rewards for tips, and try to recruit more volunteers.

East Kootenay Crime Stoppers has been running since 1991. Many of those board members have held the volunteer position for 10 years.

“You get to the point where you are frustrated and don’t see a horizon. They all believe in the program; they’ve all done a great job. But at some point we all get tired or our lives change and we have to move on,” said Sismey.

Now, East Kootenay Crime Stoppers needs to find new board members, or it will have to close down.

“I’m really hoping we can get some community members. It would be very nice if we got half a dozen (or) eight people who would step up to the plate and say, ‘I see the value, I’d like to help out,’ and start the ball rolling that way,” said Sismey.

It’s not only Cranbrook that benefits from Crime Stoppers, he went on. In fact, an increased police presence inside the city means crime sometimes spreads to regional areas like Invermere or Fernie.

“The more pressure Cranbrook puts on, then it pops up somewhere else. So it’s important that we all grab the rope and pull together and hopefully make it work, because it has been successful and I’d hate to see it fall by the wayside for these reasons,” said Sismey.

“Often people say, ‘I don’t live in Cranbrook so how am I going to get to a meeting?’ Well, today with all the technology, there are a lot of ways to have a meeting without all sitting around the same table.”

Sismey said a volunteer would only need to commit between five and 10 hours a month to the organization.

“It’s not a large time commitment for a volunteer,” he said. “The big issues are coming up with fundraising activities, day to day administration of the program, and recruiting new volunteers.”

Sismey travelled to Cranbrook last week to meet with community leaders about the future of East Kootenay Crime Stoppers. As well as his role on the B.C. Crime Stoppers board, Sismey is the regional co-ordinator for South Okanagan Similkameen Crime Stoppers.

He said one existing board member in the East Kootenay wants to stay on if the program continues.

But it requires serious help to go on.

“Our plan of attack is to get an interim board to keep the program going and make sure rewards are paid,” said Sismey.

“Sometimes when people know that if somebody doesn’t step up to the plate, it may be gone, that will make a difference.”

Anyone interested in volunteering with East Kootenay Crime Stoppers can contact co-ordinator Eric Ausman at 250-417-4234.

If you have information about a potential crime, you can contact East Kootenay Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222TIPS, or visit www. cintek.com/crimestoppers.

Music Monday celebration comes to Cranbrook May 6 S ub m i t t e d

A delegation of more than 450 students in Grades 4 through 12 from Cranbrook schools will gather at the bandstand in Rotary Park at 1:30 on Monday, May 6 as part of the nation-wide celebration of Music Monday 2013.

Weather permitting, all are welcome to come hear the Mount Baker choirs, the Cranbrook middle schools and a massed elementary choir “Fill the Skies with Music.”

This outdoor celebration of music in our schools will culminate with a massed performance of the song “Is Somebody Singing?” written by Chris Hadfield, commander of the International Space Station and Ed Robertson, lead vocalist of “The Barenaked Ladies.” This song made music history on Feb. 8 when it became the first song ever to be premiered simul-

some areas of B.C. This Music Monday celebration builds upon the past success of large organized musical events in Cranbrook, such as the annual Christmas Mass Choir concert and the Olympic Torch Relay celebration of 2010, where Cranbrook featured the largest performing group in Canada to take part in a torch relay show.

Making Music Monday an annual event is the hope of the music teachers of the Cranbrook schools.

taneously on Earth and in space.

Here on Earth, music helps bring out the best in young people, nourishing self-esteem and keeping them engaged.

Studies show that students who participate in music activities also experience greater success in Math, Reading, and Science.

We are fortunate in Cranbrook to have a board of education and district administration that support music education and value these programs in our schools — this is not the case in

Rather small Weapon of Mass Destruction George W. Bush wasn’t lying about Iraq after all, and those of us who said that he was owe him an apology. Saddam Hussein did have weapons of mass destruction. We just didn’t read the small print.

When President Bush said in a speech: “Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof—the smoking gun—that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud,” we thought that he was talking about nuclear weapons. And many of us didn’t believe him.

When Vice-President Dick Cheney assured us: “There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends…and against us,” we just assumed he was lying as usual.

And when Colin Powell, the secretary of state, told the UN Security Council that “Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction....We know that Iraqi government officials...have hidden prohibited items in their homes,” we thought he meant nukes and poison gas and nasty biological agents. Poor old Colin, we thought. An innocent soldier, too gullible for his own good.

But we were all wrong. The real threat was pressure cookers, and there were thousands of them in the homes of Iraqi officials We shouldn’t be too hard on the Bush gang for not making full disclosure of what they actually meant by “weapons of mass destruction” at the time. Imagine how silly Colin Powell would have looked at the United Nations if he had shown the disbe-

lieving audience not a vial of suspicious-looking liquid (nerve gas? bubonic plague?), but merely a pressure cooker. But there can be no doubt now: there WERE “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq.

These penitential thoughts are inspired by the charge brought against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving brother of the two young Chechen-Amerwho detonated two Gwynne icans pressure cookers stuffed with explosives and Dyer ball-bearings at the Boston Marathon last week, killing three and wounding several hundred. It was a wicked deed that brought great sorrow to many families – but are pressure cookers really “weapons of mass destruction”?

The US Department of Justice certainly thinks so. On 22 April it charged the 19-year-old Tsarnaev with “using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against persons and property.” Not a nuclear weapon, or poison gas, or some filthy plague, but a home-made bomb that killed three people.

The US federal government’s definition of a “weapon of mass destruction”, it turns out, is quite different from the one we ordinary mortals use. It covers almost any explosive device, specifically including bombs, grenades, mines, and small rockets and missiles.

The requirement seems to be that the weapon in question has to explode, so assault rifles with large magazines, for example, are exempt, even though they have been used to kill much larger numbers of innocent American civilians on several occasions. (Mustn’t upset the National Rifle Association.)

Of course, AMERICAN bombs, grenades, mines and small rockets and missiles are not “weapons of mass destruction.”

That would be unthinkable. Otherwise we would have to accept that President Barack Obama signs off on the use of drone-delivered weapons of mass destruction on the guilty and the innocent alike in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen almost every morning.

What’s really going on here is just another manifestation of what Americans themselves call “American exceptionalism”. In this context, it means that killing Americans, especially for political reasons, is a special crime that calls for special terms and special punishment. It’s the same logic that has been used to justify imprisoning people indefinitely without trial and even torturing them in the endless “war on terror”.

Don’t get too excited about it. One of the things that makes Americans completely unexceptional is that they are playing the same games with words and meanings that every great power has used to justify its actions since the dawn of time.

Lewis Carroll nailed it a century and a half ago in “Through the Looking-Glass”, the sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – that’s all.”

Pitching in for Cranbrook civic pride What’s Up? Spring has sprung, The grass has ‘ris I wonder where Our civic pride is!

O

ver the last couple of weeks I’ve received two letters from visitors to Cranbrook concerned about what they perceive as “eyesores” in our city — one an abandoned building on Hwy 3 and the other a concern behind Joseph Creek Village.

They both included a reference to “where is your civic pride?” We’ve come an incredibly long way in improving the look of our city in the last decade but it got me thinking about what more we can all do.

What The City Can Do: The City Unsightly Premises Bylaw 3390 There are a couple of aspects to this bylaw: • 5.01 No owner or occupier of real property within the City shall permit or allow their property to become, or remain, untidy or unsightly.

This provides for the opportunity for the city to get involved in extreme cases where complaints have been received from citizens. The penalty can be up to $2,000 for every offence. The bylaw officer, instead of issuing a court summons for the offence, can also schedule a contractor to clean up the identified unsightly property at the expense of the property owner, with expenses billed to the owner and added to their

taxes, if unpaid. The challenge for us is what does untidy or unsightly mean in the eyes of the court? Our bylaw officers have to use their judgement as to how serious the offence is.

Our initial approach is to contact the home or lot owner and ask them to voluntarily clean it up which is the best outcome for the owner, the neighbourhood and for civic pride.

• 5.02 Remedying Unsightliness on Real Property (i) Every owner or occupier of real property, or their agents, shall remove therefrom any accumulations of filth, discarded materials, rubbish, brush or other growth cuttings of any kind. (ii) Every owner or occupier of real property, or their agents, shall CLEAR such property of any vegetation.

The word CLEAR means “to cut down or remove noxious weeds, vegetation or growth in a manner which prevents the ripening and scattering of their seeds and restricts their growth.” Short version — vacant lots should not have noxious weeds like Knapweed or another 25 species defined in the bylaw, growing on them.

• 5.03 Infestation by Noxious or Destructive Insects Property owners are required to prevent infestations by caterpillars or other noxious or destructive insects and to clear the property of such insects.

The city applies the same

approach and penalties to 5.02 and 5.03 as outlined in 5.01.

Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee Another way the city is working on improving our community is through this committee. This group of interested stakeholders is walking Hwy 3 from Elizabeth Lake to just past the eastern entrance overpass over a period of weeks and identifying potential improvements. The list is long — vacant buildings, old signs, lots with invasive weeds, areas without landscaping, very visible dumpsters, an abandoned telephone booth, etc. Once the group has firmed up an overall vision and categorized all of the possible short and long term improvements we will be inviting the public into the conversation, likely this fall, prior to finalizing an action plan.

What Can You Do? I’d like to ask you to perhaps go beyond keeping your own property looking good this summer. Please consider: • Talking to a neighbour who perhaps is not keeping

up their property and offer your help. Say the Mayor sent you! There may be a good reason why things aren’t looking so good and your help could be appreciated.

• Get together a neighbourhood work team and cut down the weeds in vacant lots after contacting the owner. If you don’t know who owns the lot perhaps the city can help with identifying and contacting them.

• Grab a garbage bag and a pair of gloves and go for a walk in your neighbourhood, a local park, or in the Cranbrook Community Forest and pick up litter. I do this from time to time – it’s a “feelgood” kind of thing to do!

• Report unsightly properties or vacant lots with NOXIOUS (invasive) weeds to the City Bylaw office at 250-4899598. Remember though that unsightliness is in the eye of the beholder and our Bylaw Officers may determine that pursuing a charge wouldn’t stand up in court.

• If areas around bus stop benches need improving call 250-489-2412 or the city.

I know that you take pride in this community that we call home. I’d be interested in hearing other ideas that you may have on what the city, and citizens, can do to demonstrate to all visitors to Cranbrook that indeed we have great civic pride!

Grizzlies’ Marc Gasol wins NBA Defensive Player of the Year TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Grizzlies centre Marc Gasol insists he isn’t being charitable when credits his teammates for winning his first NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. Playing great defence is just what they do in Memphis.

He said Wednesday that he believes the entire team has been recognized for how the Grizzlies play defence, crediting guards Tony Allen and Mike Conley for having a big share of the award with him.

“It’s a team game, and there’s no way around it. That’s how we play basketball,” Gasol

said. “We play as a unit, and defensively, you need five guys to play.

One of us is not playing defence, we cannot do it.

We play as a team. It actually feels much better when we do it like that.

You create something bigger than yourself. It’s not just about you.”

Gasol anchored that defence, and he received 212 points and 30 firstplace votes to edge Miami’s LeBron James, who had 149 points and 18 first-place votes.

Gasol appeared on only 60 of the 121 ballots cast, with James on 47 ballots despite his 129 steals and 67 blocked shots.

The 7-foot-1 Spaniard became the first European to win the award,

though just the latest big man following Tyson Chandler of New York last year and Dwight Howard three straight seasons before that.

Gasol called being the first European to win this award an honour.

“Now I think my kids are going to believe me when I tell them I played in the NBA,” Gasol said, smiling.

Gasol averaged 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals for a Memphis defence that allowed a league-best 88.7 points per game.

The five-year veteran ranked 12th in the league in blocks. Memphis became the first team to hold opponents below 90 points per game in a season since 2005-06 when both the Grizzlies (88.5) and San Antonio (88.8) accomplished the feat.

Teammate Zach Randolph sat on the front row for the news conference and applauded enthusiastically. Memphis coach Lionel Hollins sat a couple seats down from Randolph and later posed for photos with Gasol and the award.

CALGARY - Downhill skier Larisa Yurkiw says she’s been dropped from the Canadian ski team.

The 25-year-old from Owen Sound, Ont., can still envision herself in the start hut at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

What she can’t see is how she’s going to get there.

“I want more than anything to represent Canada at the Sochi Olympics,” Yurkiw told The Canadian Press from her hometown.

“Things just got a little more complicated for me for sure. It’s

important to me to be classy at a time like this, but this all is cutting me deeper than I think I even know.”

Alpine Canada president Max Gartner wouldn’t confirm Wednesday that Yurkiw was been dropped from the squad, although she says she was informed of it earlier this month.

Yurkiw had one top-30 finish in her first full season racing World Cups since her serious knee injury in 2009.

She finished 23rd in super-G and 28th in downhill at this year’s

world championship.

Her results didn’t meet the criteria to stay on the national team, although coaches can lobby to put an athlete on the squad.

“I take full responsibility for the kind of season that I had,” Yurkiw said. “My goals weren’t met.

“But with that said, I wouldn’t be the first person, with the type of injury I had, to take this first full season back to grind it out.

“I need another year. Alpine Canada doesn’t have the money to give it to me. I have to go find it myself.”

Bandits hold tryouts in preparation for new season Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Roughly a dozen new faces came out to tryouts for the Rocky Mountain Bandits baseball team on Wednesday night as the squad looks towards the beginning of a new season in a couple weeks.

The Bandits have a returning nucleus of seven players, but head coach Paul Mrazek hopes to add a couple more to round out a full-time roster of 14 players, with another half-dozen for practice purposes.

One big change for the program is a switch from a AA league in north Idaho, to an A league in northwestern Montana, which has a couple benefits for the team, added Mrazek.

“A few of the teams are closer to home, so that’ll help with travel a little a bit,” Mrazek said.

“We’ll be more competitive, it will be better for the program and it’s going to help with keeping more kids playing at our level, rather than packing it in.”

Ryan Phillips-Clement, a veteran entering his fourth and final season, is looking forward to getting back out onto the pitching mound.

“I’m excited,” said Phillips-Clement. “I feel like I’ve learned a lot and I’m just excited to get back out on the field and see what I can do.”

Phillips-Clement, along with fellow pitcher and veteran Carter McDonald, were on hand to help out Mrazek during the tryout at Confederation park.

Seeing the younger kids out on the diamond reminded McDonald of how he felt four years ago when he was competing for a spot on the roster.

“The first couple years, I was nervous all the time, cause I’m part of the youngest group out there and you’re

looking up to these big kids,” said McDonald, “but now I’m the big kid and have to be a leader on the team and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and showing everyone what to do.”

After the tryout, the team holds their first practice on May 13, and takes off for their first tournament at the end of that week in Kalispell.

“I enjoy travelling with the team, getting to bond with the players and have a good time,” said Phillips-Clement.

Both veterans added that the move to the new league in Montana will translate into some more competitive games.

“A couple years ago, we just looked overmatched, but I think now, the younger kids will be able to get more exposure into the game and we’ll be having better games,” said McDonald. “I really look forward to having my last year playing a bit more evenly matched baseball. It’ll be funner I think.”

Blue Jays use bases-loaded walk to beat Orioles in 11 innings David Ginsburg Associated Press

BALTIMORE - The Toronto Blue Jays bashed four home runs, then scored the decisive run without taking a swing.

Jim Johnson walked Maicer Izturis with the bases loaded in the 11th inning, and the Blue Jays beat the Orioles 6-5 Wednesday to avert a three-game sweep and end Baltimore’s run of consecutive extra-inning victories at 17.

“It would have been a tough game to lose. It was a big game to win,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons, who was ejected in the ninth inning after his team blew a 5-2 lead in the seventh.

With two outs in the 11th, J.P. Arencibia and Munenori Kawaski singled before Johnson (1-2) hit Brett Lawrie with a pitch and issued a four-pitch walk to Izturis, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup.

“I just had a hard time throwing a strike,” Johnson said. “Kind of

lost feel, and obviously that’s a terrible way to lose a game.”

Izturis said: “I just tried to look for a pitch and drive it up the middle. But he threw high fastballs, so on 2-0 I tried to be patient and make him throw strikes.”

That didn’t happen, and the last-place Blue Jays got out of town with a much-needed win.

“When you are struggling as a team and you have a lead and it evaporates, it’s hard,” Gibbons said. “We haven’t played great baseball, but we haven’t been swept.”

One night earlier, the Orioles won their 100th consecutive game when leading after the seventh inning. In this one, their streak of extra-inning wins - 16 of which came last year - came crashing to a halt. It was the longest run since the Pittsburgh Pirates won 21 straight in 1959-60.

“It’s not something I dwell on,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “I know our guys don’t. But I understand

how it’s noteworthy.”

Esmil Rogers (1-1) pitched the 10th and Casey Janssen got three straight outs for his sixth save.

Nate McLouth had two hits, walked twice and scored three runs for the Orioles, who went 6-3 on a homestand against Tampa Bay, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto.

“When you can win any series, especially in

your division, that’s big.

So we’ll take it,” Johnson said. “This is not going to dampen our spirits.”

Baltimore missed a chance to win it in the 10th when Manny Machado was thrown out at the plate by left fielder Rajai Davis while trying to score from second on a single by J.J. Hardy.

The Blue Jays hit all four homers off Josh Stinson, who was called

up from the minors earlier in the day to make his Baltimore debut.

Stinson gave up only five hits in 5 2-3 innings, but those included a two-run drive by Arencibia and solo shots by Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Davis.

In his previous 20 big league games, with the Mets in 2011 and Milwaukee last year, Stinson allowed only two homers in 22 1-3 in-

Gibbons didn’t go the distance, either. He received his first ejection of the year after resuming an argument started by Lawrie over a called third strike.

Central Scouting releases rankings for NHL draft C anadian Press

TORONTO - Portland Winter Hawks defenceman Seth Jones and Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov are the players to watch at this year’s NHL entry draft.

Central Scouting made them the top-ranked skaters in its final ranking of prospects this season.

The NHL draft is June 30 in New Jersey’s Prudential Center.

The lottery to decide order of selection for the first 14 picks is scheduled for Monday.

Jones had 14 goals and 42 assists in 61 games for the Win-

ter Hawks this season.

The Texan was the youngest player on the U.S. team that won the gold medal at this year’s world junior hockey championship in Ufa, Russia.

Jones is the son of former NBA player Ronald (Popeye) Jones.

The younger Jones could be just the seventh American player taken first overall in the NHL draft following Patrick Kane (2007), Erik Johnson (2006), Rick DiPietro (2000), Bryan Berard (1995), Mike Modano (1988) and Brian Lawton (1983).

No Finnish-born player has ever gone first overall in the draft.

Barkov, a six-foot-three centre from Tampere, had 21 goals and 27 assists in 53 games for Tappara. He also scored three goals and had four assists for Finland at the world junior championship.

Halifax Mooseheads linemates and Canadian junior teammates Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin are ranked second and third respectively in North America.

ary Fucale as the top North American goaltending prospect. Furcale had 45 wins and ranked second in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with a 2.35 goals-against average.

Finland’s Juuse Saros was the top-ranked European goaltender. He posted a 1.86 GAA and a save percentage of .933 with HPK’s junior team.

Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse and Ottawa 67’s centre Sean Monahan round out the top five North American prospects.

Election 2013

Dix eyes sale of BC Place stadium To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

An NDP government would appoint an expert panel to examine the option of selling BC Place stadium to a private operator.

“Skills training, health care, education and managing our land base are all fundamental priorities for the government,” NDP leader Dix said in Vancouver Wednesday.

“Retractable roofs and stadium management, in my view, are not.”

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, campaigning in Sicamous Wednesday, dismissed Dix’s announcement as “a stunt,” presented without evidence that there is any possible buyer. Clark said the proposal is designed to deflect attention from the NDP’s plans to increase government

spending.

The stadium and Vancouver convention centre are operated by PavCo, a Crown corporation that supervised a $531 million renovation and retractable roof for the stadium.

The project was initially budgeted at $365 million, characterized by the NDP as a cost overrun. B.C. Liberals have insisted the extra costs were added for a refit of the stadium as well as the new roof.

The budget for the grass-roofed convention centre budget rose from the original $495 million to a total cost of $883 million, in a rush to get it finished in time to serve as international media centre for the 2010 Olympics. Problems with piledriving and other aspects of the waterfront complex ran

up costs and construction time.

PavCo’s latest financial statements report a debt of $1.25 billion, and forecast BC Place operating losses of $87.3 million for the five years ending in spring 2016. In the same period, the convention centre expects an operating loss of $11.6 million.

Dix said if the NDP forms a government after the May 14 election, independent experts will be given 90 days to review the operation of both facilities.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has pledged to end subsidies to PavCo operations and sell the naming rights to BC Place. A proposed 20-year deal to sell the naming rights to Telus fell through early last year.

Tories urged to use riding mail privileges to attack Trudeau C anadian Press

OTTAWA — The Conservatives are orchestrating a massmail campaign against Justin Trudeau — at taxpayers’ expense.

The campaign urges Tory MPs to use their mailing privileges to blanket their ridings with flyers bashing the new Lib-

eral leader.

Templates for the flyers — obtained by the Liberals — have been prepared by the Conservative Resource Group, which is the research bureau for the Tory caucus.

Like the negative TV ads launched by the Tories last week, the flyers argue that Trudeau has

neither the judgment nor the experience to govern the country and use partial or out-of-context quotes to make the case.

But whereas the Conservative party paid for the television ads, printing and postal costs for the flyers come out of each MP’s office budget — which is supplied by taxpayers.

Sunken ferry officer didn’t tell about other vessel C anadian Press

The man navigating a BC ferry the night it ran aground and sank says he altered course to avoid another vessel, but didn’t tell anyone about the other ship, even though it could have helped in the subsequent rescue effort.

Karl Lilgert was testifying in his own defence for the third day in a row in his trial on charges of criminal negligence causing the

death of two passengers in the sinking of the Queen of the North in 2006.

Under cross-examination by Crown prosecutor Michel Huot, Lilgert says he altered course towards Gil Island to account for a southerly wind that was pushing the ship closer to another vessel he identified on the radar.

Lilgert says he made the course change after a squall en-

veloped the other vessel but before the rainstorm hit the Queen of the North.

However, the Crown claims the squall must have covered the ferry before the other vessel.

Lilgert says he was shocked to see the trees of Gil Island appear in the ferry window when he believed his intended course should have kept the vessel away from land.

Havana, Cuba: a colourful living museum Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel takes us on a tour through Cuba’s architectural wonders and tropical entertainment

H

abana or Havana is a fascinating city. If it’s not on your list of cities to explore, be sure to add this remarkable city. This vibrant city is a living museum!

You not only see Havana, you immediately ‘feel’ Havana. The ever-present reality of Communism, ‘65 Chevys in abundance, the entire city is a history lesson and architectural wonder. Pastel-coloured restored buildings stand next to crumbling grey structures creating enormous contrast.

Squares are found throughout the city.

Some offer green space, and benches to simply sit and watch local life.

Visit Revolution Square where Fidel Castro and other political notables address the Cuban people. The Plaza de la Cathedral, is

anchored by a large Baroque church, where steps away you’ll find Ernest Hemingway’s favourite watering hole, La Bodeguita del Medio, and the rose-coloured hotel where you can visit room 511, the room that the legendary Nobel-prize winner frequented.

In the evening, stroll the Malecon. Experience the younger crowd of Cuba hanging out for relaxation and entertainment. You are likely to hear guitars and bongo drums along this 10 kilometre walkway next to the sea.

Don’t miss the world renowned Tropicana Show! This famous show has been running since 1938. The openair nightclub history boasts international celebrities, musicians, beautiful women and gangsters. The twohour show rivals any Vegas production. You will be mesmerized by singing, dancing, acro-

There are many colourful characters in Havana... batics, a fabulous full orchestra, stunning costumes and surely be transported back to the glamour of Rat Pack days.

Cubans are incredibly talented and proud.

The city swells with accomplished artists and musicians.

Try a Cuban cigar and savour a 12-yearold rum.

Bring Canadian cash to exchange to CUCs (Cuban Convertible Pesos). Cuba has two currencies: the Peso which is used by residents, and CUCs, used by visitors.

... and colourfully painted vehicles line the streets.

The official language of the country is Spanish. The literacy rate in Cuba is 99.8 per cent.

Cubans are polite, gentle people with a passion for family, music and baseball.

Beyonce, Jay Z, and Mountain City Travel consultants Jennifer,

Kim and Diane have all just returne d home from an exciting trip to Cuba.

Consultant and owner Diane Manson jokes, “There certainly wasn’t any media buzz when we low-profile Canadians visited this unique Caribbean

island. Don’t be fooled though, because the locals absolutely love Canadians. Havana and Cuba is a warm and inviting country!”

WOMEN BUSINESS IN

Tips Starting a business is no small task. But as the 21st century progresses, more and more female entrepreneurs are embracing the challenge of starting their own businesses.

Though each entrepreneur has his or her own motivation for starting a business, the chance to be your own boss and turn an idea into a successful business is a driving force for both male and female entrepreneurs. And though male and female entrepreneurs face similar hurdles when starting a business, many female entrepreneurs might be more hesitant to set out on their own, fearing that old stigmas about women in the workplace might affect their chances at success by making potential investors or financial institutions wary of women setting out on their own. Though such concerns unfortunately are legitimate, women should not assume that

Page 13

for female entrepreneurs

such stigmas prevail. The continued success of female entrepreneurs has shed new light on just how successful female entrepreneurs can be. The following are a few tips for women looking to start their own business. * Seek out a mentor. Many female entrepreneurs have blazed the trail you are about to embark on, and such women can prove an invaluable resource as you begin your journey. Find a female business owner you can connect with and ask her for any advice she can offer. She might not be able to help you with any specifics regarding your business, but she can very well share stories of what you can expect as a woman setting out to start her own business. * Have an airtight business plan. As unjust as it is, a stigma about women in the workplace still exists in the minds of some professionals. This means

women must be especially diligent and detailed when creating their business plan. One helpful hint is to act as if you are pitching yourself. Look at your business plan and ask if you would invest in yourself. Ask yourself the questions you would ask a fellow entrepreneur if he or she approached you with the same business plan you just developed. There’s no harm to be done by using every resource at your disposal, especially your own business savvy and experience. * Don’t expect to finance the business entirely on your own. Unless your business is going to be especially small, you’re going to need capital to start your business. If you think you can finance the business on your own, you might want to reconsider.

A business loan or investors can help you plan for the unexpected. If you attempt to go it alone, open

your business and then find you need a business loan, the lending institution might find your brand has already been damaged and is less likely to succeed. That can make it harder to secure a business loan. Though it’s possible to finance your business entirely out of your own pocket, it never hurts to partner up with a bank or a handful of investors. * Rely on your support system. Many women with business experience might feel they need to prove something to themselves when starting their own business and need to do so entirely on their own. While that’s great motivation, underestimating the value of your support system, including your spouse, children and even your mentor, is a mistake. Rely on these people who all want you to succeed, and turn their support into extra motivation.

Carla Lowden Owner/Manager Carla Lowden has been the owner of Cranbrook Curves since October 2006. She and her staff have a desire to help women reach their goals in health and fitness. Their “Mission” is “To Strengthen Women”.

Curves have a unique program that consists of resistance training and cardio exercise which protects muscle, increases metabolism and burns fat. Their machines are designed for safety, simplicity and effectiveness. The hydraulic resistance encourages smooth, continuous motion that reduces soreness and potential for injury. A total body workout which may take up to 90 minutes at a traditional gym can be completed in 30 minutes at Curves.

Cranbrook Curves purchased new computerized technology in 2008 called Curves Smart which is a system that gives individualized feedback to members on each machine and calculates the calories burned at the end of each workout. Zumba classes were also added to the circuit early in 2011.

Curves has recently introduced a new membership called Curves Complete, an integrated program that combines exercise, meal plans, and one-on-one coaching for more effective weight loss. This unique program puts an emphasis on increasing ones metabolism and making sensible, healthy eating choices with the help of an extensive website and weekly counseling. The cost is even lower than some diet programs alone.

The members of Cranbrook Curves like to give back to the community as much they can so they have chosen to support the following charities; The Food Bank, Multiple Sclerosis, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, SPCA , The Canadian Cancer Society and The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

have come across some confusion regarding renovation tax credits this tax season. The confusion centers around two areas. One is confusion between the Federal Home Renovation Tax Credit and the B.C. Seniors Home Renovation Tax Credit. The second area of confusion is the rules governing the type of renovations qualifying for the B.C. Tax Credit.

The Federal Home Renovation Tax Credit was allowed for qualifying home renovation expenditures incurred between January 28, 2009 and January 31, 2010.

This was available in 2009 and 2010 only and is not available now.

The B.C Senior’s Home Renovation Tax Credit is available for renovations made after March 31, 2012 and before January 1, 2013. You may be entitled to the credits listed in this section even if you do not have to pay tax. To claim this credit, attach a completed Form BC479, British Colum-

• you, or someone on your behalf, paid or incurred eligible expenses after March 31, 2012, and before January 1, 2013, to your principal residence or the land on which your principal residence is situated.

The i mproveme nts must be of an enduring nature and be integral to the home or land.

You can claim the lesser of $10,000 and the amount of eligible expenses that you, or someone on your behalf, paid or incurred related to your principal residence. If you occupied more than one principal residence at different times between April 1, 2012, and December 31, 2012, eligible expenses that you paid or incurred for one or more of those residences would qualify for the credit.

The combined amount that you or your spouse or common-law partner can claim cannot ex-

ceed $10,000. However, if on December 31, 2012, you and your spouse or common-law partner occupied separate principal residences for medical reasons or because of a breakdown in your marriage or common-law relationship for a period of 90 days or more, each spouse or common-law partner can claim up to $10,000 of eligible expenses. If you occupied separate principal residences for medical reasons, use Form BC479 and place a tick beside box 6089.

If you shared a principal residence with one or more family members, one of you may claim the entire amount

of eligible expenses, or all members may each claim a portion of the expenses. The combined amount that can be claimed by all family members is the lesser of $10,000 and the amount of eligible expenses paid.

If an eligible expense also qualifies as medical expenses, you can claim both the medical expenses and the British Columbia seniors’ home renovation tax credit for that expense.

You must reduce your eligible expenses by the amount of any government assistance you received or expect to receive that is related to the eligible expenses.

I hope this article clarifies these renovation tax credits for you.

Criminal Code not “holy book,” says terror plot suspect Allison Jones Canadian Press

TORONTO — A man charged in an alleged al-Qaida-directed plot to attack a Via Rail passenger train suggested in court Wednesday that he doesn’t recognize the authority of the Criminal Code because it is “not a holy book.’’

Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, asked to address the Toronto courtroom after the five terrorism charges against him were read out.

They are based on the Criminal Code and “we know that this Criminal Code is not a holy book,’’ Esseghaier

“It’s just written by set of creations and the

creations they’re not perfect because only the creator is perfect.’’

As a result, he said, the “conclusions taken out from these judgments’’ are unreliable.

The justice of the peace presiding over the case, who had warned him to be careful what he said, ordered Esseghaier detained until his next appearance May 23 via video from a detention centre.

That’s the same day his co-accused, Raed Jaser, 35, a Toronto resident, is set to appear again in court, also via video.

directed by al-Qaida.

Esseghaier, a PhD student doing doctoral research on nanosensors, is facing five charges, including instructing someone to carry out an activity for the benefit of a terrorist group.

Both he and Jaser are charged with conspiracy to murder for the benefit of a terrorist group, participating in a terrorist group and conspiring to interfere with transportation facilities for the benefit of a terrorist group. Esseghaier faces an additional count of participating in a terrorist group.

If convicted, they

could be sentenced to life in prison.

Esseghaier initially appeared in court Tuesday in Montreal, but was flown back Wednesday to Toronto to appear, as the eventual trial will take place there.

Both men were remanded into custody following their initial appearances in Toronto, and if they want to apply for bail they must do so at a different level of court.

The nationalities of the two suspects have not been made public

by Canadian authorities. Muslim community leaders who were briefed by the RCMP on the arrests were told one is Tunisian and one is from the United Arab Emirates, but a the UAE embassy in Ottawa said neither of the two men were UAE nationals.

A London-based newspaper reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources in the Persian Gulf, that Jaser is a Jordanian passport

holder with full name Raed Jaser Ibrahim Amouri. The Al Arab report said he had visited the UAE several times and most recently in September 2011.

The newspaper reported that the suspect also visited other Gulf countries including Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

It was not possible to independently confirm the report.

Jaser’s lawyer, John Norris, has indicated he is preparing a bail application, but as of Esseghaier’s court appearance Wednesday he had not retained a lawyer.

The duo was arrested and charged Monday in an alleged plot that the RCMP said involved “direction and guidance’’ from al-Qaida members in Iran.

Two U.S. law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that the target of the alleged attack was a train that runs between New York City and Canada.

Court orders woman to remove face-covering veil to testify in assault case Allison Jones Canadian Press

TORONTO — A woman must remove her face-covering veil to testify against the men she is accusing of sexual assault, an Ontario judge ruled Wednesday.

The woman’s niqab “masks her demeanour and blocks both effective cross-examination by counsel for the accused and assessment of her credibility by the trier of fact,’’ Ontario Court Judge Norris Weisman ruled.

The 37-year-old woman, known only as N.S., alleges two men sexually assaulted her over five years, starting when she was six years old.

The question of whether she should be allowed to wear her niqab while testifying in the case went all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada, which issued a split decision that affirmed the importance of both the right to a fair trial and religious freedom.

The case of N.S. is now back in provincial court for the preliminary inquiry, five years after the challenge began. But N.S. isn’t

done fighting to keep her niqab on, her lawyer said. They will ask the Ontario Superior Court to review the decision.

“The concern is the judge refused to consider a substantial body of scientific research which demonstrates that we as humans are actually quite faulty at detecting honesty by reading people’s faces,’’ David Butt said.

The long slog through the courts has already taken a “tremendous toll’’ on N.S., Butt said, all because she has sincerely held religious beliefs.

“Having said that, she is a very strong woman who understands that the first case through is in many respects the most important one,’’ he said.

“For the sake of other women who might find themselves in a similar position in the future, she’s somehow found the strength, and I admire her for it, she’s somehow found the strength to go the extra mile.’’

Weisman used the test set out by the high court to reach his ruling.

Judges must ask themselves: Would re-

quiring the witness to remove the niqab while testifying interfere with her religious freedom?

Would permitting the witness to wear the niqab while testifying create a serious risk to trial fairness? Is there a way to accommodate both rights and avoid the conflict between them?

Weisman found that while the woman’s religious beliefs require her to cover her face in the presence of men who aren’t related to her, it would create a “real and substantial’’ risk to the accused men’s fair trial rights.

There is no way to accommodate both rights, Weisman found.

Weisman noted that the men face very lengthy prison sentences if convicted and pointed to a quote from the Supreme Court decision in reaching his conclusion.

“Where the liberty of the accused is at stake, the witness’s evidence is central to the case and her credibility vital, the possibility of a wrongful conviction must weigh heavily in the balance, favouring the removal of the niqab.’’

Crime is crime, including on the Internet, says Harper C anadian Press

OTTAWA — A crime is a crime, regardless of whether or not it happens on the Internet, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Wednesday as his government promised to expedite efforts to create a new law against cyberbullying.

“We absolutely must speak out against the notion that some people have that ‘anything goes’ on the Internet,’’ Harper said during question period in the House of Commons.

“Something that is a crime is a crime if it happens on the Internet as well.’’

Harper’s comments followed his meeting Tuesday with the parents of Rehtaeh Parsons, the 17-year-old Nova Scotia teenager who

took her own life earlier this month.

Her family alleges Parsons was sexually assaulted by four boys in 2011 and that a digital photograph of the incident was shared around her school.

Parsons’ parents want federal laws beefed up so more can be done to combat cybercrime.

“Our Criminal Code dates from another era,’’ said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, whose question in the Commons prompted Harper’s remarks.

“There are realities in today’s society that it simply does not address. We are committed to working with the government to make changes to the Criminal Code to deal with cases like Rehtaeh’s before the

House rises for the summer.’’

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, meanwhile, pushed his provincial and territorial counterparts Wednesday to speed up efforts to create a law that would curb cyberbullying.

Those ministers gave him the go-ahead, Nicholson said after the meeting.

Nicholson said he also spoke with his colleagues about a proposed federal bill of rights for victims of crime.

While it wasn’t clear Wednesday when an anti-cyberbullying bill might be introduced, Harper told the Commons his government plans give law enforcement the tools need to combat cybercrime.

Officials say Boston Marathon bombing suspects were moved by US wars in Muslim lands ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials say the surviving suspect in last week’s attack on the Boston Marathon has told investigators he and his brother were angry about U.S. wars in Muslim countries.

Two officials said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev acknowledged

the anti-U.S. motive while being questioned by investigators last weekend.

One official on Wednesday said Tsarnaev cited the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan as the motive for the Boston attack. The official was briefed on the investigation by the FBI. The other official is close to

the investigation. Both officials demanded anonymity to talk about the ongoing probe.

Neighbours have described Dzhokhar’s older brother, Tamerlan, as visibly angry about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police last Friday.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 4-year-old granddaughter, “Jill,” visited recently and declared, “My mommy told me to watch what I eat because she doesn’t want me get heavy.” Jill is certainly not heavy, and I was appalled that she was being told such a thing. I assured her that she is perfect.

My son is divorced from Jill’s mother. He informed me that his ex does indeed send this type of message to her little girl. My son is a great father. He tries to avoid confrontations with his ex and her parents, as they can be manipulative and self-centered.

I will never speak disparagingly to my granddaughter about her mother, but I am concerned about the consequences such messages deliver on a little girl’s self-image.

Obviously, her mother and grandparents are a huge influence. Should I stay silent and let my son deal with his ex? -- Concerned Nana Dear Nana: You should not say anything to the ex, but encourage your son to do so.

A 4-year-old girl should be eating roughly 1,200 calories a day with an emphasis on healthy foods that provide her with the proper nutrients. It’s OK to teach Jill which foods are helpful for her body and which are not. But Mom should not give the message that Jill isn’t good enough unless she is skinny, nor should Mom be restricting her daughter’s calories in an effort to make her thin.

Please tell your son to discuss this with Jill’s pediatrician. He needs to be her advocate.

But you also are an influence in Jill’s life.

When she visits you, make her feel loved no matter how she looks or what she eats.

Dear Annie: My mother wants to use the Internet to look up definitions to crossword clues she is unfamiliar with. I feel this is cheating. Is it?

I believe if you don’t know or can’t answer the word in one direction, the intersecting clues are there to help you create the answer.

While looking up a definition might be helpful once you’ve solved the entire crossword, doing it in advance seems like an unfair advantage.

We are currently bickering over this, so your thoughts would be appreciated. -Crossword Junkie Dear Crossword: Part of the challenge of crossword puzzles is not to know all of the answers in advance. Where’s the fun in that? And some clues are deliberately set up to be interpreted in more than one way, so a definition isn’t necessarily useful. It might be considered cheating if Mom were in a competition (dictionaries also provide synonyms), but since she is not, it only deprives her of the satisfaction of figuring out the clues on her own. Please don’t make that your problem.

Dear Annie: Like “Your Husband,” I was one of those men with a significant sex drive.

But after three children, my wife shut me down completely. I slept on the couch for four years until a family counselor said we should divorce because we were lousy role models for our children.

My ex-wife has remarried, but is as unhappy as ever. I am still single, but have not regretted the divorce for a single day. Physical touch is too important to turn off and not expect consequences. For a lot of men, sex is the glue that makes a relationship work.

Telling a man that sex is over is as devastating to him as telling a woman she can never again talk to her girlfriends. Women would label that “abuse.” Well, many men consider the loss of sex to be just as horrendous.

As I told my daughter when she was older, “If you decide to give up sex, do not expect your husband to agree with you. There will be consequences.” -- Your Next Husband Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

3rd Annual Trashion Fashion Show Cristina B orgogel l i

The third Annual Trashion Fashion Show was held on Monday, April 22, and was hosted by Tamarack Centre in Cranbrook. Art students from Mount Baker Secondary School, under the guidance of art teacher Cheryl Wilkinson, presented their recycled fashions on the runway to a crowd of more than

200 parents and guests. The show was held on Earth Day to reinforce the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling.

Fashions and articles made out of recycled materials such as paper coffee cups, old bike tires, shopping bags, playing cards, old tickets, newspaper, beer cans, computer screens, lamp-

shades and even a dress made out of pennies graced the runway.

Admission was free but donations were gladly accepted. A total of $327 was raised towards the purchase of a new kiln for the art class room.

Cristina Borgogelli is Marketing Manager at the Tamarack Centre

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Paragliding, zip lines among new activities OK’d for parks C anadian Press

National park visitors could soon be zip-lining through a forest or hang-gliding over a valley under new rules approved by Parks Canada.

Spokesman Ed Jager (YAY’-guhr) says the new policy is an attempt to broaden the experiences available to visitors in the parks.

Other new approved activities include kite-surfing and via ferratas, which allows visitors to experience some of the excitement of rock climbing through fixed cables and rungs.

The new thrills won’t be free.

They’ll be offered through private contractors who will charged for their service.

Jager says it will be up to individual park superintendents to decide where and how the new activities fit in.

Calgary police looking for man posing as officer C anadian Press

CALGARY — The Calgary Police Service is looking for a man believed to be posing as an officer.

Police say a woman was driving in the city’s southwest in the early morning when she noticed she was being followed by a silver sedan.

The car activated red-and-blue lights to pull her over, but she became suspicious when the driver got out and shone a flashlight in her face.

The woman called 911 and drove away, but the car followed her until she got to a police station.

Impersonating an officer is a criminal offence.
