Canadian Pacific warns about trespassing S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

As RCMP and Canadian Pacific come together to raise awareness of railway safety, locals are saying they have been unfairly fined by CP Police.

On Tuesday, April 30, Cranbrook RCMP officers joined up with Canadian Pacific Police Service officers to

During Public Rail Safety Week, CP Police are reminding East Kootenay residents to stay away from rail tracks; meanwhile, locals claim enforcement has become too stringent remind the public about the importance of safety near train tracks.

Throughout the day Tuesday, the two law enforcement agencies performed checks at railway crossings in Cranbrook to mark

Public Rail Safety Week in Canada, April 20 to May 5.

The exercise was designed to remind people that CP Police are peace officers just like RCMP and sheriffs, and to deter people from trespassing on

railway property.

There are now two CP police officers based in Cranbrook whose task is to cover CP’s property throughout the East Kootenay.

The CP Police Service is made up of constables who are em-

ployed by Canadian Pacific but work on behalf of the Crown.

Many CP Police officers have previous police experience, and their job is to enforce the Canadian Railway Safety Act, as well as the Canadian Criminal Code

and provincial traffic safety legislation.

“Their priority is public and employee safety,” said Kevin Hrysak, CP’s media relations manager. “They are here to protect our railway infrastructure and public safety.”

Hrysak said that CP Police generally issue a warning for trespassing before issuing a fine, which can be as much as $10,000.

“In most cases we will warn someone first, but in some cases we will issue a ticket because it is a deliberate act,” said Hrysak.

ELECTION 2013

Candidates face the public at Chamber forum ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

On Wednesday, May 1, the public had a chance to field their questions to local candidates for MLA at two all-candidates forums.

The first, held by the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, brought forth questions from the business community. The second forum was hosted by JCI Kootenays and took questions from the general public. The latter will be covered in Friday’s Townsman.

At the Chamber of Commerce all-candidates forum, Bill Bennett for the B.C. Liberals and Norma Blissett for

the B.C. NDP answered questions submitted by the business community.

The candidates received the questions a week in advance, so had some time to think about their answers.

Bennett talked about his background running a tourism business, which he said made him qualified to represent the business community.

Blissett said while she doesn’t have the same business background, she is prepared to listen to the local businesses to solve their issues.

Spring burn season comes to an end Submit ted

Weather, safety and smoke are always factors when it comes to pulling off prescribed burns in the Trench.

The Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program (Trench ER) had planned four burns this April in the narrow window between dry out and green up, and was able to conduct two burns.

Trench ER burns enhance wildlife habitat by restoring grasslands and open forests — they are planned and executed

by Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations staff, under the guidance of the Trench ER program partnership.

“Only two of the prescribed burns were ignited this month,” said Randy Harris, ER team leader. “Both looked good and we’ll be doing follow-up assessments to ascertain the degree of success.”

The two burn locations were: • The old Kimberley Airport, off Miller Road,

• Yankee-Canuck Lakes area in Premier Lake Provincial Park (96 hectares, burned on April 25 with additional mop-up on April 26).

Local crews from the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch Southeast

Fire Centre conducted the burns using plans prepared to achieve specific objectives for each fire.

“Personnel were given valuable training in the classroom and during operations that will pay large dividends in the end when these tactics are utilized on wildfires,” said burn boss Mike Morrow of the fire centre.

Ecosystem resto-

ration projects have been ongoing on these sites for several years.

“Previous thinning treatments have reduced forest stands to where low-intensity, controlled burns can be introduced,” Harris said.

“The burns improve grazing for elk and cattle, enhance habitat for badgers and other wildlife, and restore open forest and grassland ecosystems, which are

vital to the overall health of the Rocky Mountain Trench.”

Funding for this season’s prescribed burns is provided by the B.C. Government’s Land Based Investment program and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.

Police offer a quick stop at law school Local RCMP working to educate public on traffic safety laws

A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

East Kootenay Traffic Services were out in full force Wednesday morning as part of a campaign to educate the public on a traffic law that deals with passing service and emergency vehicles.

The law, which came into effect back in 2009, limits the speed that vehicles on both sides of the road

can drive past vehicles with flashing blue, red or amber lights.

Cpl. Tom Brannigan was overseeing the operation that morning and said the law has made it much safer for police and other roadside service workers.

The problem, he said, is that many people still don’t know about the law and so continue on at the posted limit.

“It’s been three, almost four years and people are still having problems with it,” said Brannigan.

“What we’re learning from pulling people over and talking to them is they don’t know the law exists.”

The fine for not obeying the limits, which are 70km/h for any road with a posted limit of 80km/h and over, and 40km/h for

any road with a limit below 80km/h, is $173.

“We’re going to be doing a number of these campaigns throughout the year.

They will involve either tow trucks or police vehicles,” he said. “Before that law came into place we were really at risk. There was no law mandating that people slow down for us and it was quite common for people to go by us in

excess of 100 km/h. We would then have to go and chase them down and write them a ticket for driving without due care and attention or driving without reasonable care for others.”

He said that now the law is pretty clear cut. It is covered under section 47.02 in the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations.

“It requires all vehi-

CP warns against trespassing Continued from page 1

“Unfortunately, in some cases, warnings are not enough and one way to deter people is to hit their pockets.”

But Marysville resident Rawley Garrels said he complied with CP Police in Cranbrook last month and was still issued a fine rather than a warning.

Garrels rode his bike into Cranbrook for a meeting on April 10 and stopped for a coffee at Starbucks. When he came out of the cafe, he realized his bike had a flat tire.

“I had about 10 minutes to make the meeting so rather than change the flat right there, I said to myself that I would walk the bike to the meeting and I would change it afterwards,” said Garrels.

He walked his bike behind the Greyhound station on a trail about six metres from the track that goes all the way to 6th Street North.

A CP Police officer came down the trail, stopped and asked Garrels for identification.

“I wasn’t running or hiding,” Garrels said, adding that until the officer arrived, he hadn’t crossed the tracks.

Still, the CP Police officer issued Garrels a $115 fine. Garrels is now disputing that fine.

“Lots of people use it and there are vehicles parked along there,” he

“I don’t think it’s right that they are charging people without giving them a warning.”

Garrels went on to

say there is no indication the trail is CP property.

“If there was a sign saying this is private property, no trespassing, or don’t enter,

that’s fine. But if you go and look there, there is no indication anywhere along that says do not enter.”

Hrysak said CP property can extend

200 feet or further from the centre of the tracks.

“We are going to put up more signage,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s not deliberate trespassing; they are just unaware of the dangers.”

Other East Kootenay residents have raised concerns off the record that if CP are to become more stringent on trespassing laws, it could limit access to popular recreational areas, such as the Kootenay River at Bummers Flats, just north of CP’s Fort Steele exchange.

But Hrysak said if people stick to pedestrian crossings, they won’t be fined.

“Pedestrian crossings are there for one reason and that’s public safety,” he said.

CP does consider adding pedestrian crossings if a site is frequently used, depending on safety and funding, among other considerations.

Anyone with concerns about access over CP property should contact an elected official, such as their Regional District of East Kootenay representative, mayor, MLA or MP. “We have a community relations department that deals with elected officials,” said Hrysak.

cles to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles,” he said.

“That means any red lights, like a firetruck, red and blue like a police truck, amber lights like a tow truck or B.C. Hydro, Telus, Shaw Cable. If they are working on the side of the road, it’s just a common courtesy that you would slow down and recognize that the amber light means cau-

tion.”

As it’s a warning campaign, police were only issuing warnings for that particular infraction, unless vehicles were travelling in excess of 100 km/h.

He noted that the law also requires that both sides of the highway slow down.

East Kootenay Traffic Services will be doing a few more days of the campaign through the summer.

Taking on the biting buzzing bloodsuckers City mosquito control underway Submit ted

The 2013 City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program is now underway.

The Mosquito Control Contractor has been undertaking biological control efforts directed at the mosquitoes in the larval stage.

This is achieved by identifying and monitoring sites where mosquito larvae are present and applying a granular mosquito larvicide, Aquabac. This larvicide contains a naturally occurring bacterium known as Bti, which targets mosquito larvae, but does not harm birds, mammals, beneficial insects or amphibians.

This product is registered for this use in Canada.

The mosquito development sites have been carefully monitored and treated with Aquabac.

These sites are continually treated throughout the spring and summer.

Effective mosquito control must combine the efforts of individual land/homeowners with those of the City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program.

Rainfall, snow melt and rising river heights in the spring and summer result in the flooding of many low lying areas which can serve as mosquito development sites. Site monitoring by the Mosquito Control Contractor’s staff is conducted on a continuous basis throughout the late spring and summer

to determine the species, number and level of maturity of mosquito larvae present during this period.

Early monitoring of this year’s larvae population indicates residents of the City of Cranbrook can expect a significant number of mosquitos in 2013.

Mosquitoes go through four distinct stages of development during their life: egg, larvae, pupa and adult.

Eggs are laid on the surface of standing water or on soil that is prone to flooding. When in contact with water during the spring and summer, the eggs hatch as larvae, which feed on plant material and quickly develop into pupae. The pupae then mature into adult mosquitoes, which emerge from the surface of the water. Following mating, adult females search for a blood meal to complete egg development.

The City’s Mosquito Control Program can only do so much to curb the mosquito problem.

Home and property owners are encouraged to stop mosquitoes before they start, by removing all sources of standing water from around your home.

Residents are also encouraged to call the Mosquito Hotline at 250-421-1294 to report potential mosquito development sites or for more information regarding the Mosquito Control Program.

City of Kimberley Water Conservation Measures for City of Kimberley Residents

OUTDOOR SPRINKLING 1. Residents of properties with even numbered addresses should sprinkle or irrigate only on even numbered days.

2. Residents of properties with odd numbered addresses should sprinkle or irrigate only on odd numbered days.

3. Sprinkling and irrigating should be done between the hours of 4:00 am to 10:00 am AND 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

4. Automatic irrigation systems usually offer the option of activating sprinkling and irrigating at specified times. Optimum times are between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 4:00 am using the odd/even system described in Number 1 and 2.

5. All outdoor hoses should be equipped with working spring-loaded shut-off nozzles for any use by hand.

6. Hand watering of plants using a hose with a working springloaded shut-off nozzle or a hand-held container can be done at any time.

7. More frequent watering of newly laid sod or newly seeded lawns is expected. Please call City Hall and advise if you plan additional sprinkling for new lawns.

8. If additional information is required, please contact the Operations Services Department at City Hall – 250-427-5311, extension 213 or log on to our website (see address below).

THIS IS A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM AND YOUR COOPERATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. The City of Kimberley has hired a student for their Water Conservation program. This program will have a three pronged approach to water conservation. The student will educate residents about water conservation who are seen watering during the heat of mid day or on off days. Secondly, greater awareness will be given to low flow showerheads and fixtures. Finally, commercial and residential water use audits will be conducted to help residents and businesses to reduce their water use. The City of Kimberley looks forward to working cooperatively with residents and businesses so that they can improve their water efficiency.

The City of Kimberley would like to emphasize that these measures follow good gardening principles while going a long way to reduce water consumption. Over watering your lawn will drain nutrients away from the roots, promoting disease and infection and potentially damaging your root system. Additionally, those who choose to water in the heat of mid day risk losing over 50% of the water to evaporation and may burn their plants.

the economy is in good shape and is the envy of many other provinces.

Blissett noted that while life is good in B.C. for the top tier of earners, not enough is being done for low income earners, who once pulled up, could put more money back into the economy.

On the subject of challenges to the business community Bennett said the government needs to invest in skills training, nurturing consumer confidence and making sure

local government doesn’t inhibit local businesses.

Blissett said that it is money leaving the area, a lack of skills training and antiquated liquor laws are causing the most problems.

She said it’s better to invest in a variety of resources.

Bennett said the LNG is a “game-changer,” though added that other industries like mining are bigger for the local area.

“The impact (of LNG) on our province will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars,” he said, pointing at Alberta and Saskatchewan that have had success with LNG. “We’re going to have to work with these companies and figure out how we can do this in an environmentally responsible way, generate these jobs and generate these jobs revenues.”

Paper propaganda and the ‘double fold’ debate It’s what is known as the double-fold.

It is a simple technique used by archivists, museum staff, and special research librarians to determine the brittleness of paper. A random corner of a book or newspaper is folded down and then folded back in the opposite direction. Should a corner be brittle enough to break, the item is deemed too fragile, and is either removed to storage or replaced depending upon the importance and use of the item. If it is oneof-a kind, it has traditionally been scanned for microfilm, but currently it will more than likely be digitized.

‘Double Fold’ is also the name of a book by American novelist Nicholas Baker, based on a speech Baker gave in the early 90s, ‘Double Fold’ is a critical and scathing attack not only on the process de-

BOOKNOTES

Mike Selby scribed above, but on the people who carry out the test itself. In their efforts of preservation, Baker accuses librarians of willfully “strip-mining history,” in their rapid “assault on paper.”

Baker, winner of the National Book Critics Circle award, and author of “The Mezzanine,” “Checkpoint,” and “The Anthologist,” began his crusade against double folding in 1994, after discovering the San Francisco Public Library had

thrown away their card catalogue after the shift to computers. While not quite a crime against humanity, the library was also throwing away their newspaper archives, which for Baker was unforgiveable.

He soon discovered this was a global practice, ongoing since the 1950s, which involved a conspiracy between librarians and governments to microfilm everything, which resulted in the destruction of books before the process (the spines are torn apart to properly scan each page), and the destruction of newspapers after.

According to Baker, the double fold test is merely a deception; the pages have never been brittle enough to warrant their discarding. “Librarians have lied shamelessly about the extent of paper’s fragility, and they continue to lie about it.”

This conspiracy is

one backed by “incessant library propaganda,” sponsored by the federal government and the CIA, and is comparable to “secretive weapons procurers at the Department of Defense.” For Baker, the double fold test is “utter horses*** and craziness,” with archivists and librarians complicit in their “slow betrayal of an unknowing nation.”

Although meticulously footnoted, Baker’s book doesn’t truly give librarians any type of motivation for their deceptive practices, other than being as a whole “impetuously technophilic.”

There are more than a few problems inherit in Baker’s argument, even after removing the odd conspiracy aspect it. For such a brilliant writer, Baker is somehow unable to separate librarians from archivists. He continually states that librarians are

Saskatoon police pull over driver with no arms, give him seatbelt ticket C anadian Press

SASKATOON — When Steve Simonar was pulled over by police in the past, he says officers would quickly question why he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt while behind the wheel. Then they realized why.

He has no arms.

He says the surprised officers usually looked him over and let him off with “have a nice day.’’

“Nobody ever gave me a seatbelt ticket because, you know, I can’t wear one. I can’t put it on,’’ Simonar explained Wednesday.

The owner of a Saskatoon construction company is fighting his first seatbelt ticket, a $175-fine issued last week during a city traffic blitz.

Simonar said he was angry

and hurt by the fine and plans to file a complaint with Saskatoon police. He wants the officer who approved the ticket to rip it up and apologize.

Back in 1985, Simonar had finished a summer day of sailing on Big Shell Lake, north of Saskatoon, with two of his young children and a friend. The kids were on the beach and the men were pulling the boat onto shore when its mast hit a power line.

Simonar said his buddy died instantly and he was rushed to hospital. Doctors were unable to save his arms, which had burned from the inside out. They amputated both limbs to his shoulders.

The 55-year-old, who is married and now has four children, needs help each day doing most

things, such as getting dressed and eating. But he can drive on his own.

He has had many vehicles modified over the years so he can drive with his feet. His left foot turns a small steering wheel near the floor and his right foot works the gas and brake pedals.

Simonar said shortly after he lost his arms, he passed a driving test using his feet. And Saskatchewan Government Insurance has approved all of his modified vehicles.

He also used to carry a doctor’s note explaining the obvious: he can’t put on a seatbelt. He didn’t know the rules had changed requiring him to apply to SGI for a medical exemption.

Nicholson Baker supposed to be “paper keepers.” Yet they are not, and neither are archivists. Historian Richard Cox noted Baker incorrectly “assumes that libraries and archives do not make selections to begin with.” It is not possible, nor desirable to keep every edition of everything printed. The

novelist also appears to be unfamiliar not only with the nature of information, but how to make it all accessible to people.

But that has not stopped Baker. Using his own money, he has opened up the American Newspaper Repository, where he contin-

ues to “save” thousands and thousands of newspapers, mostly discards from the British Library.

Baker and his allies see it as saving the historic record of our culture. Others see it as hoarding.

Archivist Nancy Boothe publicly wondered if Baker will employ a “staff of librarians who have cataloged all the newspapers, including item-by-item holdings, years published, and variant titles; a number of trained preservation folks, who do emergency — but long-lasting repair on ailing wood-pulp paper so we researchers can handle and decipher the originals; large, strong and literate crew of people who shelve the bound volumes or loose newspapers in boxes, as well as retrieve them for researchers.” A great question.

Because Chagnon did not just say that primitive people were always at war, and that a lot of them died from it. He said that there was a GENETIC component in this behaviour.

Like all good anthropologists, he did genealogies of the people he studied – and he discovered that men who had killed other men in battle had three times as many children as men who had not killed.

Human beings are “imperfectly monogamous”, but in groups where force is relatively unconstrained the best warriors get more wives. Therefore, Chagnon said, they are more successful in passing on their genes.

He did NOT say that culture and environment play no part in moulding human behaviour. He was simply documenting what should have been obvious: that if all human societies fight, then we must, among other things, have some genetic predisposition to do so. We are not necessarily doomed to fight in groups, but we are (unlike cows and pigeons) ABLE to do so.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor

Now listen here!

To all young people: As of May 7, I, Stu Misko, will be 65 years old — a senior citizen. I’d like to let everybody, especially businesses, know that I will be whining and snivelling to get my seniors discount on everything, whether I need it or not.

I’m starting to notice the signs of seniorism, such as: I’m really good at opening up child proof caps with a hammer; I’m smiling all the time because I can’t hear a word you’re saying; I’m usually interested in going home before I get where I’m going.

I want the respect from you young people that I deserve, and you will call me Mr. Misko, not Old Geezer, Silver Tip, Old Fart (Gas Bag) or any other names you young people can think of. You young people don’t realize the wealth of knowledge that I have even though I can’t remember past last Tuesday. I’m a walking storeroom of facts — I’ve just lost the storeroom.

Any advice I give you young people is not because I’m smarter than you — I’ve just done more stupid stuff. She Whom I Must Obey says she can tell I’m close to being a senior because I smell musty. I’m a drug addict — high blood pressure pills, vitamins; you name it, I take it. I’m starting to meet new people every day. Apparently I used to work with some of them.

Go figger. I can’t remember names, so everyone is “Hey you!” I’m going to wear goofy hats and shorts. I will drive really slow and when you flip me the bird, I will give you that look and a goofy smile.

Now if I can just find the newspaper building I will submit this letter.

Stu Misko Kimberley

Help for Hospice I’ve been a hospice volunteer for almost three years and am extremely proud of the hard-working volunteers, board members and, of course, Jeanne Davidson, our co-ordinator (and Volunteer of the Year). Through my experiences, I can see first-hand how valuable and appreciated the hospice services are. It wasn’t until I became a volunteer that I even understood the depth of difference we can make in someone’s end of life time and for their families as well.

Menno and I have been hospice financial supporters for some time now, and usually conduct our “charitable” ways rather quietly. But this time we

want to go public and present a challenge. Dueck Enterprises and Fisher Peak RV Rentals are challenging the business community to raise $10,000 during Palliative Care Week, May 5 – 11.

The week starts off with the Evening to Remember on Sunday, May 5, 6:30 p.m. at Idlewild Park and we’ll start off by throwing $500 into the pot.

The $10,000 would go towards operating expenses and business owners know that without having operating costs covered it is virtually impossible to move forward. “Operating costs” may not be a pretty buzz word, but without it, there would be no Hospice Society. What a sad day that would be for our loved ones.

To make your pledge, call Christie Dueck at 250-426-5460.

Misquoted With regard to Mr. Delich’s letter to the editor concerning the Fernie All-Candidates Forum he is certainly entitled to his opinion of my performance. However, I would like to set the record straight with regard to his comments concerning my answers.

First of all, let me clarify the letter’s reference to the “golden period for B.C.” which was not a comment of mine. What I did say was that according to Statistics Canada economic growth was greater in the 1990s under the NDP than it has been under the Liberals. More jobs were created in the 1990s and more people moved to B.C. In fact both Mr. Bennett’s family and my family moved to B.C. in the 1990s.

My family moved here because there were many jobs in forestry. I also recommended the audience investigate the truth further by looking up the facts from Statistics Canada and checking reports by CBC (readers could also refer to articles online in The Tyee).

With regard to my answer on the Flathead, I said that as the elected MLA my job will be to represent the views of local residents at the provincial table. In the event there is a proposal to change the status of the Flathead, I would make sure that the proper data was collected so that I could accurately represent the views of my constituents and would vote accordingly.

I also said that I have one vote within a caucus and that is why I will work hard to ensure that all Kootenay East issues are front and centre with my caucus col-

leagues. I will be a strong, effective Kootenay East MLA within government.

History shapes us but doesn’t define us Continued from page 6 In saying this, Chagnon outraged two overlapping groups: the large number of anthropologists of that generation whose intellectual roots were in Rousseau and Marx, and people who feared that primitive groups would be more vulnerable to exploitation by the mass societies around them if they lost the protective myth of the peaceful, noble savage.

The tactics of Chagnon’s critics were ruthless and even slanderous: he was accused of giving the Yanomamo weapons and urging them to fight, even of deliberately causing a measles epidemic among them. He’s a combative sort, and his recent book shows the scars of fighting off unjust

accusations for more than forty years.

He would have fared better if he had dropped the other shoe. If he had known as much about history as he did about anthropology, he would know that the level of violence in human affairs has dropped drastically since the rise of civilisation – precisely because we now live in bigger societies.

Even the earliest mass societies lost far fewer people to war than the little societies of the more distant past, because it was no longer the entire male population that went to war. The battles were far worse than those of primitive warfare, but most people never saw a battle.

Even the dreadful 20th century follows the trend line. At least 50 million people

Thursday, MAY 2, 2013 Page 7

were killed in the two world wars, but that was out of a global population that was nearing 2 billion people: a 3 percent fatal casualty rate for war over a period of 30 years. It’s very unlikely that any pre-contact primitive society ever had a casualty rate that low. And in the six decades since 1945, far less than one percent of the world’s people have died in war.

We are shaped by both our genes and our culture, and our culture no longer accepts war as natural and inevitable. We are not better people than the Yanomamo, and we’re very far from perfect. But our past does not define our future.

Reinhart leads Canada to gold medal at U18 championship TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

You could almost hear Sam Reinhart smiling through the phone.

The young 17-yearold recently returned home from Russia sporting some new hardware for his trophy case after leading Team Canada to a gold medal finish at the IIHF World U18 Championship in Sochi.

“It’s pretty special,” said Reinhart.

For the final, the Canadians faced off against the defending champions in the U.S., and eked out a tight 3-2 victory, despite getting outshot 35-12.

Frederik Gauthier notched the game winner for Team Canada, with scoring also coming from Laurent Dauphin and Madison Bowey, while Connor Clifton and Mike McCarron responded for the Americans.

Goaltender Philippe Derosiers made 33 saves in net to give the Canadians the win.

Reinhart said the Americans put on a really tough game, but his teammates were able to hold the line.

“They’ve got a tremendous amount of

depth,” said Reinhart.

“When you play together for two years, it’s obviously a challenge to go up against that. They played well against us for sure, as you saw from the shots, but we knew that if we played our game and focused on ourselves, we’d have success and that’s what we did in the final and came out on top.”

“We knew that if we played our game and focused on ourselves, we’d have success and that’s what we did in the final and came out on top.”

Sam Reinhart Reinhart posted three goals and four assists in seven games over the course of the tournament, but it was OHL phenom Connor McDavid who led the way with eight goals and six assists for 14 points.

The two have a connection via Kris Knoblauch, who coached Sam Reinhart in his rookie year, but is now mentoring McDavid as the bench boss for the OHL’s Erie Otters.

McDavid, the OHL’s rookie of the year who was granted exceptional status to play his inaugural season as a 15-year-old, posted two hat tricks in the tournament and has made professional scouts take notice.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

McGill named WHL coach of the year Kootenay Ice head coach honoured during league awards ceremony in Calgary TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill has been named the WHL coach of the year during a ceremony at a league banquet in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon.

McGill is the fourth Ice coach to nab the Dunc McCallum Memorial Trophy over the last nine years, as Cory Clouston won it twice, while Mark Holick also picked up the same hardware.

McGill, who was the nominee for the Eastern Conference, beat out Ryan Huska, the bench boss for the Kelowna Rockets who led the team to a franchise record 52-win season.

“It’s an honour, it’s a great award for our team,” said McGill. “I don’t consider this to be a coaches award because of how hard the players have to work and everybody else in the organization, so it’s a tremendous honour for the organization.

“We’re very proud because there’s a lot of other coaches and a lot of other organizations that had great years.”

McGill, who took

over the reigns last summer, oversaw a team that struggled in the first half of the year, collecting only 10 wins by the Christmas break.

However, the Ice reversed their fortunes in the second half of the year and launched out of the WHL cellar into the playoffs for their 15th consecutive appearance.

The second half run began with a streak of 12 wins in 13 games, and the Ice shot up ladder and into eighth place, which kept their streak of post-season runs alive.

“I don’t think we’re ever quite satisfied, to be honest, but at the same time, I think we are really proud of how the group came back after the Christmas break and really set their goals in front of

them and wanted to be better everyday,” added McGill.

Kootenay faced the Edmonton Oil Kings in the first round, and bounced out after five games. The Oil Kings are currently heading into the championship round for a rematch of last year’s final against the Portland Winterhawks.

McGill, Ice general manag er Jeff Chynoweth and head scout Garnet Kazuik will remain in Calgary for the WHL Bantam Draft on Thursday.

The Kootenay head coach was previously nominated for the same award back in 2002 when his team captured the Memorial Cup, but lost out to Bob Lowes, who led the Regina Pats.

After winning the CHL’s top prize, McGill graduated into the pro ranks, coaching in the AHL for seven years and the NHL with the Calgary Flames for two more seasons.

The Flames didn’t renew his contract at the end of the 2010-11 season and he spent a year out of the game working in the oil and

However, McGill returned to the Ice last year, and the transition from the pro ranks back to major-junior hockey has been pretty smooth, he said.

“The transition has been great,” McGill said.

“I still have a long ways to go in learning and being able to deal with

16- to 20-year-olds, and I think I’m doing a good job here, reflecting on that.

“Obviously, next year is a real important year for our organization and I want to make sure that I build those relationships even stronger for next year, and I’m working on that as we speak.”

Lillard wins NBA Rookie of the Year award ANNE M. PE TERSON Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. It’s unanimous: Damian Lillard is the NBA’s Rookie of the Year.

No, it never was in question.

Lillard, the sixth overall pick in last June’s draft out of Weber State, led all rookies with a 19point scoring average.

He also averaged 6.1 assists and 3.1 rebounds,

playing in all 82 games this season.

He broke Stephen Curry’s rookie record for 3-pointers in a season, finishing with 185, and became just the third NBA rookie with at least 1,500 points and 500 assists, following Oscar Robertson and Alan Iverson.

And he swept all six of the league’s Rookie of the Month awards this season.

“I can’t stop smiling,” Lillard said when he was awarded the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy on Wednesday.

Lillard is the fourth player in league history to win the Rookie of the Year unanimously, joining Blake Griffin in 2011, David Robinson in 1990 and Ralph Sampson in 1984.

All season Lillard has been winning accolades from across the league.

“He’s fantastic, really fantastic,” Kobe Bryant said after the two squared off in a game earlier this month. “A lot of players get hot, but he’s got the moves, the patience, intelligence, the balance on his jumpers. He’s the real deal.”

Utah Jazz forward DeMarre Carroll is also a fan.

“He’s a complete player,” Carroll said.

“He’s a young guy but you’ve got to give him credit, he plays hard and the team really relies on him. He’s not afraid to take the big shot. The sky’s the limit.”

At the ceremony to

announce the award at the Rose Garden Arena, the smartly dressed guard spoke about his upbringing in Oakland and how it shaped him as a hard-working player.

He was disappointed when he broke his foot to start his junior season at Weber State, because he had hopes of jumping to the NBA. He redshirted, and came back the next season to earn All-American honours. He was voted the Big Sky’s Most Valuable Player.

When he let Weber State know he was going pro, Lillard announced his first goal was to win Rookie of the Year.

“I came out and I proved it up,” said the 6-foot-3 guard, who was proclaimed the team’s

franchise point guard from the start by Blazers general manager Neil Olshey.

“I know that Damian’s best days are ahead of him,” Olshey said Wednesday. “This is the first step in a bright future.”

Lillard is the fourth Blazer to win the Rookie of the Year award, joining Geoff Petrie (1971), Sidney Wicks (1972) and Brandon Roy (2007).

“The thing you love about him more than anything else is he plays with a chip on his shoulder,” Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey said: “He’s one of those underdogs who went to a small school who is out to prove to everybody he’s an NBA player.”

Sports Red Sox rout Blue Jays 10-1 Gregory Strong Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays were hoping Wednesday’s game against Boston would allow them to build off an impressive comeback win in the series opener the night before.

Instead the Red Sox showed why they have the best record in the major leagues.

Boston slugged five home runs and starter Clay Buchholz was masterful over seven shutout innings as the Red Sox crushed the Blue Jays 10-1 at Rogers Centre. Mike Napoli’s second homer of the game came in Boston’s four-run seventh inning as the Red Sox improved to 19-8.

“Really we didn’t get anything going to stay in the game,” said Jays manager John Gibbons. “But like I said it was still manageable and we were still within striking distance going into the seventh inning and it exploded.

“And then it was out of hand.”

Stephen Drew, Daniel Nava and Mike Carp also homered for the Red Sox. Buchholz (6-0) allowed just two singles over seven shutout innings, lowering his earned-run average to 1.01.

“It’s fun pitching good,” he said. “I’ll try to ride the wave as long as it’s there.”

The right-hander walked three and had eight strikeouts, throwing 66 of his 101 pitches for strikes. Buchholz leads the major leagues with six victories on the season.

“Really, we didn’t get anything going to stay in the game. But like I said, it was still manageable and we were still within striking distance going into the seventh inning and it exploded.”

John Gibbons “When you’re able to command both sides of the plate and cut it and sink it on both sides of the plate, you know that’s why he’s been doing as (well) as he’s been doing,” said Toronto catcher J.P. Arencibia.

Toronto (10-18) opened the three-game set Tuesday with a 9-7 victory that offered a glimmer of hope that this might be the series where they turn things around. But the Blue Jays were handcuffed by Buchholz and

simply could not put a rally together.

The Blue Jays scored their lone run in the eighth off reliever Alex Wilson when Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., tripled to score Maicer Izturis.

Boston got to Toronto starter Mark Buehrle (1-2) in the second inning. Will Middlebrooks reached after being hit by a pitch and Drew followed with his first homer of the season, pulling a 1-0 fastball into the second deck beside the right-field foul pole.

Munenori Kawasaki hit a oneout single in the third for Toronto’s first hit but was left stranded when Lawrie and Colby Rasmus struck out.

The Red Sox used the long ball again in the fourth inning.

Napoli crushed a no-doubt blast to deep centre field for his fifth homer of the season. Nava followed with a solo shot of his own, also his fifth homer on the year, to make it a four-run game.

The Red Sox loaded the bases in the sixth but Buehrle got out of the jam with a double play.

The veteran left-hander was pulled with two outs in the seventh after issuing a walk to Jonny Gomes. Buehrle gave up five earned runs, seven hits, three walks and had one strikeout.

Bruins blow away Leafs to open series Neil Davidson Canadian Press

BOSTON - Nine years out of the NHL playoffs and the Toronto Maple Leafs looked rusty. And sloppy. And, by the end, befuddled.

David Krejci had a goal and two assists as the Boston Bruins spoiled Toronto’s long-awaited return to the post-season, scoring four unanswered goals to defeat the sloppy Maple Leafs 4-1 on Wednesday night.

The Bruins went be-

hind early but clawed their way back into the game before a capacity crowd of 17,565 in yellow-and-black at TD Garden - Boston’s 154th straight sellout. The experienced Bruins turned the screws on the error-prone Leafs as the game wore on.

“I just thought we self-destructed ... We know that this is going to take more than an ordinary effort and tonight our effort wasn’t anywhere near close enough to put us in a

competitive position,” said Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle.

Fans may have partied early in Toronto but last call was reserved for Bruins fans on this night.

Wade Redden, Nathan Horton and Johnny Boychuk also scored for Boston on a night where video review ratified one Bruins goal and disallowed two more.

Krejci, meanwhile, registered his 13th career multi-point playoff

James Van Riemsdyk scored for Toronto, whose big guns were silent.

Boston outshot Toronto 40-20, including 14-6 in the third period.

“We left Reims (goalie James Reimer) out to dry for most of the game,” said Leafs centre Nazem Kadri, who also lamented a string of undisciplined turnovers.

“We are just killing ourselves when we do those type of things,” he said. “No one expects to win when you’re playing shinny hockey out there.”

“I’ve never seen so many people fall down with nobody around them,” added Carlyle.

Game 2 goes Saturday and Carlyle promised changes in his lineup.

“There are some thing we did that were totally, totally unacceptable from our standpoint and from a coaching standpoint and we have to correct it,” he said. “And now we have two days of practice and we’re going to practise to get better.”

Reinhart adds a gold medal to his growing collection Continued from page 8 Having generated a lot of buzz himself in his rookie year, Reinhart knows what McDavid is going through.

“I can’t say enough about him,” said Reinhart. “He’s so young and the talent he has, it’s not everyday someone two years older says how easy it makes it playing with him, so it was a great experience for me and I really enjoyed it.”

Reinhart captained the Canadian squad, but he isn’t a stranger to the position, as he held the same role during the Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament last

Sam Reinhart August—another international event that had a golden finish.

Reinhart also played on the same U18 team last year that had a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the Americans in the semifinal, but pulled off a bronze medal victory with an overtime win against Finland.

The Kootenay Ice captain wanted the script to be different this time around.

“It doesn’t really change, how bad you want to win the next time—every tournament you want to win just as bad—but being there last year and knowing this was my last time, my last opportunity at it, it definitely gives you more motivation to get it,” said Reinhart.

Reinhart got his first taste of international competition in his rookie season, playing for Team Pacific in the U17 World Hockey Challenge.

Bayern Munich sets up all-German Champions League final Joseph Wilson Associated Press

BARCELONA, Spain Barcelona star Lionel Messi watched from the sideline as Bayern Munich completed its dismantling of the Spanish side with a 3-0 win on Wednesday, lining up the first all-German Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

With its all-time leading scorer out after he aggravated a right hamstring injury, Barcelona failed to seriously threaten Bayern’s goal much less an epic comeback after its 4-0 first-leg defeat.

Bayern, meanwhile, humbled a team that has been the envy of European football for a second time in only nine days.

“I think it is a terrific performance, it is a little bit of history,” Bayern forward Arjen Robben said. “If we perform like this, against a team who have dominated Europe for the past five years, who have so much quality, it is amazing.”

After the visitors had toyed with Barcelona in the first half, Robben finally

opened the scoring in the 49th minute before Barcelona’s Gerard Pique added an own goal in the 72nd.

Thomas Mueller headed in Bayern’s third goal just four minutes later, as Barcelona slumped to its first home loss in European competition since 2009.

Four-time winner Bayern will face Dortmund in the final on May 25 at Wembley Stadium.

Besides Messi, Barcelona was also without four other first-choice players.

But the glaring truth is that even with several Spanish internationals on the pitch Bayern, was once again the better side.

And after this tie, it’s clear that the power has shifted away from Camp Nou further east.

Pique described it as one of his club’s “worst nights,” adding that even Messi wouldn’t have made a difference.

“It isn’t pleasant living through a situation like this,” Pique said. “In the first half, we really tried but when they scored the first we were left feeling down.

We have to congratulate Bayern who were superior.

“The fact that Lionel Messi, the best player in the world, did not play was a factor - but I do not think his participation tonight would have changed things all that much.”

While fellow Spanish side Real Madrid won 2-0 on Tuesday to almost reverse a 4-1 first-leg loss to Dortmund, Barcelona didn’t even come close and definitely didn’t bow out of Europe’s top-tier competition gracefully.

Instead, its second stinging defeat to the newly-crowned German champions will surely open a period of reflection in the club, despite being on course to win the Spanish league title. The Catalan side has been seriously outclassed for the first time since a trophy-laden era started in 2008 under the guidance of former coach Pep Guardiola, who will take over as Bayern coach next season.

After these performances, Guardiola will have a tough time matching the

job Jupp Heynckes has done this season.

“When the draw came out and we were paired with Barcelona, I would never have imagined that we would win 4-0 and then 3-0 at the Camp Nou,” Heynckes said. “Barcelona is a fantastic team. Today it had personnel problems, when Messi plays it is very different. However, we played a game at a very high level for 90 minutes.”

Bayern lost last year’s

final at home to Chelsea in a penalty shootout. It also reached the 2010 final, but went down 2-0 to Inter Milan.

“I believe any team in the world would have trouble playing us because we are a unified group with clear objectives,” Heynckes said. “We have won the league, are in the (German) Cup final, and in the final of the Champions League after we lost last season due to some very bad luck.”

Cracks had already appeared in Barcelona’s reign, which had seen it win the European Cup three times in the last seven years, during the round of 16 with a 2-0 loss at AC Milan, before Messi dug down and scored twice to help secure a 4-0 win.

“He’s the worst player for us to lose,” said Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez.

“Practically all the passes in the last three quarters of the pitch are for him.”

Veteran curler joins B.C. rink for Olympic pre-trials C anadian Press

Veteran curler John Morris will get another crack at representing Canada at the Olympic Games.

Morris has joined Jim Cotter’s rink from Kelowna, B.C., as the team prepares for the Canadian Olympic pre-trial competition in November. The top two men’s and women’s teams at that event will advance to the Canadian curling trials with a spot at the 2014 Sochi Games on the line.

Morris spent the last

seven seasons as a third on Kevin Martin’s Edmonton rink, helping the team win an Olympic gold medal, two Canadian men’s curling championships and one world title over that span.

Morris parted ways with Martin last week, despite the fact Martin has already qualified for the Canadian curling trials.

“The past couple seasons, especially this last season, I felt that we weren’t performing up to our capabilities,” Morris said at the

time. “I just felt it is in the best interest of our team if we brought someone new in there.

“I’ve always played with passion and drive and I felt, especially this last season, I was lacking some of that and as result my performance had declined a bit and I was no longer thriving.”

Morris said he would take some time to decide on his future, but within a week he had already found a new rink to call home.

Election 2013 issue: agriculture policies Part of a series comparing party platforms on an issue-by-issue basis To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

VICTORIA — Relief from carbon tax on farms and promotion of B.C.-grown agricultural products are key promises in the campaign for the May 14 provincial election.

The B.C. Liberal Party and the B.C. NDP have argued for a decade about the best way to promote local food consumption. The NDP platform promises to reinstate the “Buy B.C.” program that identifies products grown anywhere in the province.

The B.C. Liberal government ended that program, and in 2012 it committed $2 million to regional “Buy Local” promotions that they say are more adaptable to local needs. The party’s current platform promises to double that funding to “promote 50- and 100-mile diets.”

Neither party is specific about assistance for tree fruit growers.

The NDP pledges to “help orchardists with replanting and other costs,” while the B.C. Liberals offer to “begin work on a permanent and sustainable tree fruit replant program, to be implemented following the current three-year, $2 million program.”

In its pre-election budget, the B.C. Liberal government has offered $20 million in carbon tax relief for greenhouse and flower growers, in addition to an exemption for coloured gasoline and diesel used on farms.

The B.C. Green Party proposes major reforms, including phasing out synthetic chemical pesticides, banning genetically modified crops such as canola and removing

Boaz Joseph/Black Press

Field preparation in the lower Fraser Valley taxes on value-added B.C. products such as juices and wines.

Platform highlights:

• The B.C. Liberals promise a new meat inspection system by 2014, including a new

“Certified B.C. Beef” brand. The party also wants to create a “Centre of Excellence for Ag-

riculture” at the University of the Fraser Valley.

• The B.C. NDP promises $8 million per

year starting in 2014 for agriculture programs.

Plans include pilot programs to use B.C. produce in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

• The B.C. Conservative platform promises only to “introduce policies that support, farmers, ranchers and others.” The party emphasizes its pledge to phase out the carbon tax on all fossil fuels, citing its role in poor financial performance by B.C. agriculture relative to the rest of the country.

• The B.C. Green Party would prohibit further release of top-rated land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, and “provide small grants to support municipalities and school boards that wish to maintain and expand community gardens and urban agriculture.”

Kimberley is going country this weekend as First Saturdays begin.

The First Saturday concept has gone from idea to reality in a very short time, and a lot of different people are bringing a lot of different events together on Saturday, May 4.

The inaugural First Saturday is anchored by the Dynamiters Bull-ARama at the Civic Centre in the evening. This thrilling evening of bull riding is returning to Kimberley for the third

All funds raised at Bull-A-Rama go to the Kimberley Dynamiters.

To get in the mood for an evening of fun, why not spend the day enjoying the various First Saturday activities?

to Business Update The Chamber Board of Directors has continued to encourage the City of Cranbrook to make changes to its processes, internal culture and the implementation and tracking of its economic development strategy to remove barriers to doing business in Cranbrook. This follows the Chamber’s presentation to Mayor and Council in December on the results of its barriers to business survey. This process has involved regular up-date meetings between Board Directors and City staff in areas such as the economic development strategy, permits and processes, and the service culture inside the City.

The Board – which is optimistic that positive changes are underway - expects to receive a progress report from Mayor Stetski by the end of May. At that time, the Chamber Board will provide members with its own detailed progress report on what it sees happening. The Chamber Board welcomes feed-back from any existing or new businesses which are trying to start or expand business in the City.

A Salute to 4H the theme for Sam Steele Days June 13th – 16th.

Nearly 100 Years In The Making!

The objective (of 4H competitions) is to train the heads and hands of the boys and girls; to give them broad and big hearts; to improve their

health by giving them an interest in outdoor life; and to encourage on the part of all British Columbia citizens, a stronger and more intelligent in agriculture.”

Such was the goal of the 4H movement when it started in 1914 in British Columbia. During this first year, over

200 young people between the ages of 10 and 18 were involved in competitions sponsored by the Department of Agriculture. Originally the program focused on potatoes as a project but was expanded later that year to include poultry in order to interest more youth and to widen the influence of progressive

farming practices on the BC farming community.

While 4-H has changed and evolved a great deal since its start in 1914, the impact of the program on the young people involved is as relevant today as it was back then. 4-H continues to teach young people to successfully meet

the challenges not only of their own futures but also the future of their communities. From the 6 year old Cloverbud member to the 21 year old 4H Ambassador, the 4-h program continues to be a fantastic training ground for life.

Bangladesh factory collapse prompts Retail Council to update industry guidelines C anadian Press

TORONTO — The Retail Council of Canada is updating its industry guidelines in the wake of a building collapse at a garment factory in Bangladesh that killed at least 400 people.

The association said in a statement Tuesday it will develop an updated set of guidelines for best practices and educational materials and resources for its members.

It did not release details of the guidelines.

The RCC said it has also joined a North American industry coalition of retail associations, and is working with the International Labour Organization, along with other stakeholders, including the Bangladeshi government, to come up with safety standards for the Bangladesh garment industry.

Workers and fire fighters are shrouded in smoke as they prepare to dislodge the debris and fallen ceiling of the garment factory building which collapsed in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh on Monday, April 29, 2013.

45,000 Canadian retailers, including department, grocery and independent merchants.

The illegally constructed eight-storey garment factory, which made products for Ca-

nadian clothier Joe Fresh, collapsed last week, resulting in a death toll that has now topped 400. About 2,500 survivors have been accounted for.

Loblaw, which owns

Joe Fresh, said it is in the process of contacting family members of the deceased to provide compensation.

The compensation announcement came as Loblaw and other companies met with the Retail Council of Canada’s responsible trade committee to discuss how to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Retail Council president and CEO Diane Brisebois has said one of the challenges has been that Canadian agencies don’t have the power to mandate that certain codes or regulations are followed in another country.

Loblaw has said its vendor standards were designed to ensure that products are manufactured in a socially responsible way, but that current measures do not address the issue of building construction or integrity.

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Parks Canada has issued a moderate avalanche warning for Banff, Kootenay and Yoho national parks.

Experts say below-normal temperatures in April have resulted in a lingering and unsteady alpine snowpack.

They expect warmer spring temperatures will further increase the risk of snowslides to high.

Outdoor enthusiasts are being

warned to avoid rugged backcountry trails and to stay within ski resort boundaries so as not to trigger the unstable snowpack.

Parks Canada also says current conditions could also mean avalanche danger on some popular summer hiking trails.

Officials say avalanche risks can be reduced by checking conditions before going out, avoiding avalanche terrain entirely or carrying safety gear.

Municipal politician irked by remuneration Michele Young Canadian Press

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A city councillor in British Columbia’s Interior says she and her colleagues deserve more than minimum wage for the work they perform.

Coun. Nancy Bepple says she crunched some numbers recently and found municipal politicians in Kamloops, B.C., are paid about $10 an hour.

Bepple says she works 20 to 30 hours a week as a councillor and must buy back benefits from her pri-

vate employer, Thompson Rivers University, when she’s away on city business.

Councillors have unanimously endorsed a motion introduced by Bepple on Tuesday that asks city staff to research remuneration rates in comparable cities around B.C. Any change in council’s pay would go into effect in December 2014, after the next municipal election.

The mayor of Kamloops is currently paid more than $74,400 a year, councillors earn more than $24,800, and one-third of the pay is tax free.

Wide world

A drive through quaint English countryside A few years ago, I visited my friends living in Bristol and we did a driving tour of the Cotswolds. This was a fabulous trip, visiting an area of England far removed from the hustle of London.

Defining the Cotswolds as a geographical region is an exercise; most people agree that the region is centred on the Cotswold escarpment, but there is no general agreement on where the boundaries of the region lie.

Some maps show the Cotswolds stretching from the outskirts of Bath in the south almost to Stratford-upon-Avon in the north, and from the Severn in the west to Oxford in the east. Some of the confusion is unavoidable as the roads wind to and fro through the charming English countryside and you never really know for sure where you are.

Along the Cotswald escarpment lie some of the prettiest, most “English” villages in the entire country.

But getting around to these villages is interesting to say the least when you are being driven by an English driver, whose only two speeds are ‘full on’ and ‘stop’. I was gripping the armrests most of the trip! Hard to focus on the gorgeous countryside when you are fearing for your life round each turn. And they just laugh, ha ha, you North Americans

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel tells what a tour of the Cotswolds has to offer

Submitted

Bourton-On-The-Water is a picturesque Cotswolds village with the Windrush River passing through town. with your wide roads and tame speed limits.

I understand that you can do these loops through the quaint villages by tour bus rather than a rental car (or with a friend) which may be a lot more relaxing. But needless to say, we were able to stop any time when we spotted a cute pub, a quaint tea house, a beautiful riverside park, or a delightful church.

One of my favourite villages is Bourton-onthe-water. The Windrush River meanders through the centre of town, and is crossed by low stone bridges. The cottages are built of lovely golden “Cotswold stone”, a warm-toned limestone that gives the

villages of this region a charm found in few other places. Artists line the banks of the river happily sketching on their easels. Children tangle their feet from the banks of the river.

People picnic. It is just lovely.

Tewkesbury has some fine antique shops, and an abbey church surrounded by half-timbered Tudor buildings. A few short miles away is Winchcombe, yet another delightful Cotswold village, and close to Winchcombe is Belas Knap. The names of these villages are so much fun to say – Chipping Sodbury, Chipping Camden and Cheltenham – almost as fun as

visiting them!

Cheltenham owes its prosperity and its fine architecture to the spa which became popular

here in the Georgian period. The town is all white houses and wrought-iron railings and colourful baskets of flowers hung from the buildings.

One of my favourite visits was to the town of Bath. The great Roman baths here were used from about 80-400AD, but they were then covered up by building on the site. In 1775 the baths and temple complex were discovered by accident, and they have been restored to their former glory. This is without a doubt the best Roman site in England, and well worth seeing.

Nothing very British about Bath at all.

You really shouldn’t visit the baths without visiting the Pump Room, which looks down into

the steaming Great Pool.

It was here that generations of high society members came to drink the waters. You can still drink the waters, but it doesn’t really smell so good! You can’t ‘bath’ in the baths, this is not a hot springs, but nonetheless, it is a very interesting place.

The best time to go to the Cotswolds is spring and fall to avoid the crowds. It’s a busy tourist area in the summer months. And the weather is quite decent in spring and fall.

It’s not difficult to get there. We have nonstop flights from Calgary into

both London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

Then buy a bus ticket on National Express right from the airport and a short few hours later (when you will be sleeping from the jet lag anyways), you will arrive in Bristol. Then you can take single or multi-day tours, rent a car, or hop in a friend’s vehicle and hope for the best. I’m still here, so I guess it wasn’t all that bad! But there’s always walking tours too...

Scientists find evidence of cannibalism at Jamestown Bre t t Zongker Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Scientists revealed Wednesday that they have found the first solid archaeological evidence that some of the earliest American colonists at Jamestown, Virginia, survived harsh conditions by turning to cannibalism.

For years, there have been tales of people in the first permanent English settlement in America eating dogs, cats, rats, mice, snakes and shoe leather to stave off starvation.

There were also written accounts of settlers eating their own dead, but archaeologists had been skeptical of those stories.

But now, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and archaeologists from Jamestown are announcing the discovery of the bones of a 14-yearold girl that show clear signs that she was cannibalized. Evidence indicates clumsy chops to the body and head of the girl, who appears to have already been dead at the time.

Smithsonian forensic anthropologist Douglas

Owsley said the human remains date back to a deadly winter known as the “starving time’’ in Jamestown from 1609 to 1610. Hundreds died during the period. Scientists have said the settlers likely arrived during the worst drought in 800 years, bringing severe food shortages for the 6,000 people who lived at Jamestown between 1607 and 1625.

The historical record is chilling. Early Jamestown colony leader George Percy wrote of a “world of miseries,’’ that included digging up corpses from their graves to eat when there was nothing else. “Nothing was spared to maintain life,’’ he wrote.

In one case, a man killed, “salted,’’ and began eating his pregnant wife. Both Percy and Capt. John Smith, the colony’s most famous leader, documented the account in their writings. The man was later executed.

“One amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it was known, for which he was executed, as he well deserved,’’ Smith

Doug Owsley, division head for Physical Anthropology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, displays the skull of ‘Jane of Jamestown’ during a news conference at the museum in Washington, Wednesday, May 1, 2013. wrote. “Now whether she was better roasted, boiled or carbonado’d (barbecued), I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife I never heard of.’’

Archaeologists at Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia were somewhat skeptical of the stories of cannibalism in the past because there was no solid proof, until now.

“Historians have questioned, well did it happen or not happen?’’

Owsley said. “And this is very convincing evidence that it did.’’

Owsley has been working with William Kelso, the chief archaeologist at Jamestown, since their first burial discovery in 1996.

The remains of the 14-year-old girl, discov-

ered in the summer of 2012, mark the fourth set of human remains uncovered at Jamestown outside of graves.

Researchers named her “Jane’’ to give her an identity for a book explaining her story. Her remains were found in a cellar at the site that had been filled with trash, including bones of horses and other animals consumed in desperation, according to archaeologists.

The discovery detracts from the happier mythology of John Smith and Pocahontas that many associate with Jamestown. The vice-president of research at nearby Colonial Williamsburg,

which oversees excavations of the original Jamestown site, said visitors will have a fuller view of a terrible time in early American history.

“I think we are better served by understanding history warts and all because I think it gives us a better understanding of who we are as a people,’’ James Horn said. “It gives us a better sense of the sacrifices that people made, ordinary people like Jane, to survive in the new world.’’

Owsley, who has also done forensic analysis for police investigations, analyzed the girl’s remains and how the body had been dismembered, including chops to the

front and back of the head. The girl was likely already dead at the time.

There was a cultural stigma against killing someone for food.

But it was clear to Owsley immediately that there were signs of cannibalism.

“It is the evidence found on those bones that put it within the context of this time period,’’ he said. “This does represent a clear case of dismemberment of the body and removing of tissues for consumption.’’

It was the work of someone not skilled at butchering, Owsley said. There was a sense of desperation.

The bones show a bi-

zarre attempt to open the skull. Animal brains and facial tissue would be considered accepted and desirable meat in the 17th century, Owsley said.

The human remains will be placed on display at Jamestown to explain the horrid conditions early settlers faced. At the Smithsonian, curators will display a digital reconstruction of the girl’s face in an exhibit about life at Jamestown.

Owsley said archaeology is helping to fill in details from a time when few records were kept — details that won’t likely be found in history books.

Kelso, whose archaeology team discovered the bones, said the girl’s bones will be displayed to help tell a story, not to be a spectacle.

“We found her in a trash dump, unceremoniously trashed and cannibalized, and now her story can be told,’’ Kelso said. “People will be able to empathize with the time and history and think to themselves, as I do: What would I do to stay alive?’’

The Smithsonian and Jamestown archaeologists are publishing their findings in a new book but decided against waiting to announce the discovery through a peer-reviewed journal.

“In a lot of ways, I say Jane is us,’’ Kelso said.

“She brings the past to the present.’’

LONDON — A British adventurer has died and two others suffered frostbite as they tried to cross Greenland’s ice cap on a charity hike, officials said Wednesday.

The British Foreign Office said Philip Goodeve-Docker died and two others on the trek remained hospitalized.

On Friday, the three-man expedition got caught by a strong cold wind that sweeps across the eastern part of the vast icecap, Poul Petersen, a spokesman for the police in Greenland said. A rescue helicopter was not able to reach the men until Saturday because of the bad weather, and on arrival they found that Goodeve-Docker was dead.

Philip Goodeve-Docker died during a trek across Greenland.

The survivors were flown to

Britain via Iceland after first being treated at a hospital in Tasiilaq on Greenland’s east coast, 180 kilometres (112 miles) south of the Arctic Circle, Petersen said.

Goodeve-Docker’s body was being sent later to Britain, he said.

Goodeve-Docker embarked on the trip to raise money for charity in honour of his grandfather, who died two years ago.

On his website, he described the 500 to 600-kilometre (310 to 370-mile) trek as one of the great polar challenges. The adventurer said he expected the trip’s dangers to include polar bears, strong winds, crevasses up to 500 metres (1,650 feet) and temperatures as low as minus 50 Celsius (minus 58 Fahrenheit).

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m in my 40s and have been married for 20 years. We have two children.

Our marriage has been OK but not totally fulfilling. For the past five years, I have been in contact with my ex-fiancee.

I have thought about getting divorced a number of times but have never gone through with it. I love my wife, but not the same way I love my ex. Whenever I speak with my ex, I am my happy old self. She is the most caring, sweet, romantic person I’ve ever met, and I know, without a doubt, that our lives would be happy if we were together. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. We treat each other the way people should be treated.

My children do not have the best relationship with their mother, so I don’t think a divorce would be all that traumatizing for them. I just don’t want to hurt her. I have spoken to her about the things I’d like changed, but she only complies for a short while, and then things go back to the way they were.

Is this just a midlife crisis? Should I settle and stick with my current life or take a chance on a new one? -- Wanting No Regrets Dear Wanting: So why didn’t you marry your ex-fiancee? It’s not uncommon to fantasize about a wonderful life with someone you don’t actually live with. The mundane responsibilities, raising children, doing housework, paying bills -- all of those things are unromantic and unexciting. It takes work to make a good marriage. Don’t simply tell your wife what you want her to change. Maybe she’d like you to change, too.

We commend you for not wanting to hurt her. So please give your marriage a chance before you bail. Ask your wife to come with you for marriage counseling to see whether you can work through some of those things that are making you unhappy.

Dear Annie: My husband recently passed away after 40 years together. It’s been heartbreaking.

While going through his desk, I found a checkbook for our joint trust account. He had written in it that he wanted to leave all five of our children a sizable amount of money. I have no problem with four of them, as they are all employed and responsible adults. However, the fifth “child” is 58, unemployed, and living on his veterans benefits and disability so he can smoke medical marijuana.

I have already written checks for the first four kids, but I am dragging my feet about the fifth. It was my husband’s wish that they all be treated equally. Am I being disrespectful to my husband’s memory by not getting a check out to my son? I’m afraid he will blow it all on weed. -- An Anxious Mom Dear Mom: We think your son is probably as responsible as he’s going to get. Certainly your husband knew this. Talk to your son. Explain that he has money coming to him, but you are concerned that it won’t last very long. Ask whether he’d like you to pay it to him in installments or put it in a trust for his long-term benefit. He may actually prefer an arrangement like this, but if not, please give him the money anyway. What he does with it is not your problem.

Dear Annie: Perhaps the owners of vacation homes whose guests leave photos of their own families in the home could start guest scrapbooks. A large scrapbook would provide room for visitors to note when they were there and perhaps mention a few of the more interesting things they did while enjoying the generous hospitality of the owners. This would provide a nice memory book for both the owners and guests, as well as providing an appropriate place for guests to leave their family photos. -- Barbara in Ventura Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Missing woman, last seen dropping off kids for school in 2002, surfaces in Fla. Mark Scolforo Associated Press

Carmen Blandin Tarleton, of Thetford, Vt, underwent a transplant in February after a 2007 attack in which her estranged husband doused her with industrial strength lye, burning more than 80 percent of her body.

US woman reveals new face after transplant Rodrique Ngowi Associated Press

BOSTON — A U.S. woman revealed her new face after a transplant Wednesday, six years after her ex-husband disfigured her by dousing her with industrial-strength lye, and said she went through “what some may call hell’’ but has found a way to be happy.

Carmen Blandin Tarleton had face transplant surgery in February and spoke publicly for the first time at a news conference.

“I’m now in a better place, mentally and emotionally, than I ever could have imagined six years ago,’’ Tarleton said. “I want to share my experience with others, so they may find that strength inside themselves to escape their own pain.’’

In 2007, the 44-year-old mother of two was attacked by Herbert Rodgers, who believed she was seeing another man. Police say he struck her with a bat and poured lye from a squeeze bottle onto her face.

When police arrived, Tarleton was trying to crawl into a shower to wash away the chemical, which had already distorted her face.

In 2009, Rodgers pleaded guilty to maiming Tarleton in exchange for a prison sentence of at least 30 years.

A Boston hospital said more than 30 surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses worked for more than 15 hours to replace skin, muscles, tendons and nerves in the face transplant.

The face donor was Cheryl Denelli Righter, who died of a sudden stroke, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Righter’s daughter, Marinda, told Tarleton on Wednesday that she looked beautiful, adding she was certain her mother had somehow picked Tarleton. “They are both mothers, they are both survivors, they are both beacons of light,’’ she said.

Tarleton, who is legally blind, thanked Righter’s family for what she called “a tremendous gift’’ that’s greatly alleviated the pain she’d felt daily.

Newly-adopted puppy tracked, taken by former owner C anadian Press

SAANICH, B.C. — An internal investigation is underway within the B.C. SPCA, after a newly-adopted puppy was reclaimed by its original owner.

Officials at the society want to know how a 30-year-old Squamish woman was able to trace the ninemonth-old husky-shepherd cross to its new home on Vancouver Island.

Police were called after someone broke into a Saanich home last Tuesday and grabbed the dog.

An investigation led to the Squamish resident who had the pup when she was taken into custody.

According to the SPCA, the dog had been abandoned by its original owner and it was surrendered to the society for placement in its adoption program.

LITITZ, Pa. — A central Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disappeared after dropping off her children for school 11 years ago has surfaced in Florida, telling police she travelled there on a whim with homeless hitchhikers, slept under bridges and survived by scavenging food and panhandling, authorities said Wednesday.

Brenda Heist, 53, had been declared legally dead, Lititz Borough Police Det. John Schofield said. The detective said he met with her in Florida on Monday and she expressed shame and apologized for what she did to her family.

Heist was going through an amicable divorce in 2002 when she was turned down for housing assistance, which led her to despair. She was crying in a park when two women and a man befriended her, then invited her to join them as they began a monthlong hitchhiking journey to south Florida, Schofield said.

Her ex-husband Lee Heist, who got the courts to declare her legally dead two years ago and has remarried, said at a news conference Wednesday that he was angry because of the effect her disappearance had on their son and daughter. Lee Heist was looked at as a suspect, but co-operated with investigators, took a polygraph and was eventually cleared.

He was able to maintain a bond with the children.

“They knew that I was there, and I loved them and would take care of them,’’ he said.

He said his ex-wife and their children have expressed a desire to speak with each other, but for now they are taking things slowly.

Schofield said Brenda Heist was expected to be released from police custody in Florida and was likely to spend some time with a brother in that state before moving in with her mother in Texas.

“She has a birth certificate and a death certificate so she’s got a long ways to make this right again,’’ Schofield said. “She’s got to take it slow with her family, I’m sure, and it’s going to be a long process.’’

Inside her Lititz home the day she disappeared, dinner was defrosting and the laundry was half done. Police located her car in a neighbouring county but none of her personal belongings were taken.

When Schofield called recently to meet with her ex-husband and their daughter, they assumed he would be notifying them that her remains were found, the detective said.

Lee Heist said he struggled financially after his wife disappeared, quitting his job and losing his home. She had been a bookkeeper at a car dealership.

“There were people in the neighbourhood who would not allow their children to play with my children’’ because he had been a suspect, he said.

Brenda Heist turned herself in to Monroe County sheriff’s deputies in Key Largo, Fla., on Friday, regarding some outstanding warrants, and then informed them she was a missing person. She had apparently been using a different name and had been homeless for the past two years, most recently living in a tent community run by a social service agency.

“She said she was at the end of her rope, she was tired of running,’’ Schofield said.

For about seven years she lived with a man in a camper in Key West and worked odd jobs.

Schofield said she never had access to a computer and never checked to see if she was being sought, although she assumed she was.

The Heists’ daughter is now a 19-year-old West Chester University sophomore, and their son, 23, recently graduated from the same college and is pursuing a law-enforcement career. The school is about 30 miles west of Philadelphia.

Schofield said police in Florida were trying to sort out the warrants before releasing Brenda Heist.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said Heist was in “protective custody,’’ although not with the office. The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a request by The Associated Press for a way to contact her.

Police in Lititz said the investigation eventually involved dozens of detectives, and although the trail had grown cold the case had never been forgotten, with Heist’s picture tacked to a wall at police headquarters.

Lee Heist said he and the children also remembered, and observed anniversaries. Her valuables were returned to her mother years ago, he said.

Ontario woman rescued from mud after 12-hour ordeal C anadian Press

HALIBURTON, Ont. — A central Ontario woman didn’t panic when she was stuck kneedeep in mud for 12 hours because her dog snuggled up to keep her warm and calm.

Sandra Van Alstyne, 64, was out walking Monty, a three-yearold border collie, in the cottage country area of Haliburton Highlands on Tuesday around 10:30 a.m. when she encountered a muddy section of a trail.

“It didn’t look like it would be a real problem,’’ she said Wednesday from her home. “So I

stepped in it and I got sucked down into it.’’

Van Alstyne got her right leg free, but her left leg just wasn’t coming, she said.

“It was like it was cemented,’’ she said.

When she didn’t return home Van Alstyne’s husband became frantic and called police, who immediately started searching for her.

In the mud, meanwhile, Van Alstyne said she wasn’t too worried.

“I surprised myself,’’ she said.

“I didn’t panic. I had my dog

with me and he stayed right by me, even when it got a little chilly he was right there to snuggle into.’’

About 12 hours after she got stuck, provincial police found her using a helicopter and tracking dogs and had to use shovels to help get her out. The officers themselves nearly got stuck while trying to rescue her, Van Alstyne said.

She got checked out at the hospital and is no worse for wear, except for a voice hoarse from shouting for help. Monty is fine too, she said.

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.
