Former Kimberley Summer Theatre actor has role in new Star Trek film Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Actor Jeremy Raymond, originally from Cranbrook, boldly went where not many have gone before, onto the re-imagined sets of one of his favourite childhood series, Star Trek.

Raymond has a part in the new Star Trek Into Darkness, currently in theatres and took some time Tuesday afternoon to chat with the Townsman about the high-profile role.

Raymond said that it was director J.J. Abrams himself that chose him for the part.

Big Brothers Big Sisters in Kimberley CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Last week Dana Osiowy and Carly Proudfoot visited Kimberley City Council to talk about Big Brothers and Big Sisters and the work they hope to do in Kimberley.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is celebrating its 100th year in Canada this year, and it is growing in the this area.

Council was told that there are now 133 matches

in Kimberley/Cranbrook, up from 26 in 2010.

The program matches young people (16 and under), usually from single parent homes, with positive adult role models, who give them a couple of hours a week. Matches are carefully researched to make the best fit for both child and mentor. It is a program proven to work, Council heard.

Last weekend the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway opened for the season (weekends only until June 23). Visitors from as far away as Germany and Holland enjoyed the train ride and tour. It was also a special weekend for volunteer engineer Rand Davis, as his daughter was married on Saturday, Rand’s relatives were on the train when it pulled into the downtown station on Sunday, to be greeted by an impromptu concert by the Kimberley Community Choir, of which Rand is a member. Quite a treat for all concerned. Rand, above right, with choir member John Allen, was even able to join the choir for a few songs between departures.

Kimberley Summer Theatre alum scores Star Trek role From Page 1 “What happened was J.J. had seen a TV movie I had done a few years ago,” Raymond said. “It was around the same time when there was a special role that he was trying to figure out and I guess seeing me in that project triggered something and he said, ‘get me that guy.’ He called and I came running.”

That was a TV movie called the Pastor’s Wife.

“Although I was quite proud of it, I didn’t expect anything like this to come out of it I’ll tell you that,” he said.

Raymond couldn’t talk too much about specifics on the set, since there are a lot of surprises in the movie and he didn’t want to take any chances on ruining them. But he did comment on the overall experience.

“It was amazing,” he said. “It was the kind of thing, when I was a kid imagining being an actor, this was the kind of wildest dream scenario that I was imagining. So I was really wowed and to work with J.J. Abrams. There’s a reason that so many of his movies have that wonder, that magic and that excitement. A lot of that comes from him directly. It was amazing the energy, the enthusiasm and the ideas that were constantly pin balling in his head.”

When asked whether he’d consider himself a Trekkie, he said he is careful not to categorize himself.

“You always think you’re a fan, then you meet somebody who’s like really into it and you’re like, oh I wasn’t a fan,” he said. “But yeah I watched the original series with my dad growing up. That was the series I was always plugged into and the one I connected with most. So it was cool to see first reboot that J.J. did a number

years ago in a Crestbrook play, when he was four or five. At 13, he joined a theatre company that toured western Canada. It was then that he got a taste of the real work behind acting and said he came off the tour bus ok with that.

Then he did summer theatre in Kimberley. He picked up films after studying music at Grant McEwan College in Edmonton.

He said Star Trek has opened some doors and now he’s looking where to jump next and may do some voiceover work, as well as

Jeremy Raymond

of years ago, because that was the series that they drew from.”

Since then, Raymond said he’s seen bits of every Star Trek incarnation, but he always goes back to that original series.

Raymond said growing up he was caught between wanting to be an actor, a musician and batman.

“I still think I’m going for all three,” he said. “I’m still doing the music stuff, and the acting stuff. I can’t talk about my crime fighting stuff for obvious reasons, I’m sure you’ll understand.”

Raymond said the last time he spoke with the Daily Townsman was for his Gemini nomination some 10 years ago.

He started his acting career many

going really well. Here was a kid who was just maybe starting down the wrong path and now he’s turned around. It’s cool knowing this could have changed his life, just because one person volunteered.”

In addition to one on one mentoring, Big Brothers Big Sisters also offers In School Mentoring, where older students spend time in middle schools, and Go Girls, for 10 to 14 year old girls who spend time with high school or college age girls. There is also family mentoring, which has proved positive for immigrant families.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is funded through BC Gaming, the United Way, other grants and some fundraising. They have also been able to

make a bit of money too. The people I’ve met, whether it’s in acting or music or animation or dancing, and there’s actually a lot of very talented people hat have come from Cranbrook and found a way to work in the arts, but the people who sustain themselves over the years, through the ups and downs are the people who are doing what they do in a way that satisfies them. I think that is key.”

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN

Big Brothers, Big Sisters From page 1 “Young people in the program are more likely to graduate and get higher grades. They’re more likely to participate in extracurricular activities.

Mentored youth do better,” Osiowy said.

All mentors are carefully screened and trained, and then matched with a child based on interests.

For instance, Proudfoot said, here a Kimberley an 11 year old boy from a single home, who was lacking a male figure in his life was matched with someone who matched his active interests. He and his mentor bike together, and snowboarded together.

“We found a perfect match. They’ve had a couple of months together now and it’s

film and theatre. He said his best friend, also from Cranbrook is the lead animator on the Ninja Turtles TV show.

“Throughout this whole thing it’s been really cool to get all this support from Cranbrook,” he said.

Raymond also offered some career advice.

“Find a way to do what you love in a way that sustains you, then you can just wrap your life around it,” he said. “That will carry you a lot further than you think. If you get fortunate, you can

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.

Rainy days ahead

It’s monsoon season, says local meteorologist

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The rain is coming down and the rivers are

rising as the East Kootenay is hit with a weather wallop.

A cold low pressure system has settled over southern B.C. and Alberta and it’s sending lots of rain our way, says Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist.

area. You are the part of the province that’s going to get a significant dump in the next two days,” he told the Townsman Wednesday morning.

“There is a really big concern for the East Kootenay to get rain wrapping around from Alberta, particularly in the Elk Valley.”

Cranbrook and Kimberley can expect 30 to 40 millimetres of rain by Thursday morning, then up to another 25 millimetres of rain into Friday.

Fernie and Sparwood were forecast to receive 20 to 30 millimetres on Wednesday night, then 15 millimetres on Thursday and up to 35 millimetres on Friday.

“You will probably get snow in the higher terrain in your area as it cools off over the next couple of days,” Lundquist warned.

All that moisture is coming from a big low-pressure system that is sitting over Washington.

“It’s like a pin wheel.

There are spokes of moisture that rotate around those upper lows,” said Lundquist.

being over Washington and everything rotates around that in a counter clockwise fashion. Moisture will come up from east of the mountains, wrap into the Foothills of Alberta, dump copious amounts of moisture on the Alberta side, and that will spill across into B.C.” Although it might seem like we are getting a lot of rain here in the East Kootenay over the next few days, it will only be a fraction of what southern Alberta is getting.

Calgary is forecasted to receive 100 millimetres of rain on Thursday and Friday.

“We are getting stuff spill into B.C. but not the extraordinary amount they are going to get in southern Alberta,” said Lundquist.

He called this spring weather “monsoon season”, and said a similar weather event happens every year, somewhere in B.C. “This happens every year, but it’s where that’s the question. A couple of years ago, it happened that it was further north and it dumped the rain in the Peace Country. There were all sorts of roads washed out,” said Lundquist.

In response to the dire forecast, B.C.’s River Forecast Centre has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for the East Kootenay, and upgraded the West Kootenay to a Flood Watch.

A high streamflow advisory means river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, but that no major flooding is expected. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

The advisory warns that East Kootenay rivers will have started to rise late Wednesday and continue through Thursday.

The rain is going to stick around for several days, Lunquist warned, certainly through the weekend.

“Next Monday it looks like the low will have weakened quite a bit and be trying to pull north,” Lundquist said.

“It doesn’t mean to say you are going to get heavy rain every day. It’s going to be unsettled and there might be periods of wetter conditions at least through the weekend.”

College of the Rockies alum finalist for ‘Best Job in the World’ For the Bulletin

College of the Rockies Adventure Tourism Business Operations graduate Greg Snell is one of three finalists for Tourism Australia’s ‘Best Job in the World – Wildlife Caretaker’.

The goal of the competition is to help Tourism Australia find the best candidates for six different positions – Chief Funster, Outback Adventurer, Park Ranger, Wildlife Caretaker, Lifestyle Photographer and Taste Master. With over 330,000 applicants from 196 countries, Snell is the only Canadian to make it to the finals.

The position he is in the running for – Wildlife Caretaker – would find Snell living on Kangaroo Island in South Australia for six months, swimming with great white sharks, snorkeling with sea lions, hanging out with kangaroos and helping to conserve the pristine natural environment of the island. He explains, “Kangaroo Island is about the size of Prince Edward Island and is basically a zoo with no fences. I am very much looking forward to travelling there and getting to know the local endemic wildlife and interacting with the wonderful Australian people.”

Since completing the Adventure Tourism Business Operations program at the College’s Golden campus in 2009, Snell completed a Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) funded internship in Ecuador, focussing on sustainable development through tourism. That experience helped him obtain his current employment with a Canadian adventure tourism company working as a tour leader in the Southern Cone of South America. He leads small group adventure travel trips through Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay,

Paraguay and The Patagonia.

“The Adventure Tourism program was definitely the kick-start to the amazing experiences I have had so far,” Snell says. “I cannot say enough about the ATBO program. It is an incredible opportunity for young Canadians to jump-start a career in international tourism.

The program helped prepare me to work in the industry and to have a chance at such an exciting opportunity like this competition.”

Snell will travel to Australia on June 10 and take part in a week of competitions before the final decision of who will be awarded the ‘Best Job’ is made on June 21. He encourages everyone to follow his adventures on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/GregSnellWildlifeCaretaker. His application video can be viewed on the Tourism Australia website: http://www.australia. com/best-jobs.aspx Learn more about College of the Rockies’ Adventure Tourism Business Operations course at: www.cotr. bc.ca/atbo

What drives Japan’s Shinzo Abe?

In an embarrassment to the LDP. He has obhis first, spectacularly unsuccess- viously acquired some braver and perhaps ful go in 2006-07, he was a crude wiser advisers since then, most notably nationalist and an economic ignoramus Yoshihide Suga, now chief cabinet secrewho rarely had control of his own dysfunc- tary.

Abe put several ultrational cabinet. By the time right-wing ministers in the he quit, after only a year in cabinet, and it is Suga’s job office, his popularity rating to keep them from giving was below 30 percent and voice to their revisionist his health was breaking views on history. “Our down.

He’s still is not the business of the government to a radical nationalist who on occasion decide how to define the last world war” or comes close to denying Japan’s guilt for the “comfort women were prostitutes.”

Abe doesn’t mind, because he has bigaggressive wars of 1931-45, but in economics he is now Action Man. His approval ger fish to fry this time round. He has launched a high-risk strategy to break rating is currently over 70 percent.

In only six months Abe has broken most Japan out of twenty years of economic of the rules that defined Japan’s budgetary stagnation by cutting taxes, raising governand monetary policy for the past twenty ment spending, and flooding the economy years, and he has promised to break all the with cash. One of his first acts was to put old rules about restrictive trade policies as his own man in as head of the Bank of well. (Together, his new policies are known Japan, and order him to break the deflaas “Abenomics”) He has launched a make- tionary spiral by adopting a target of 2 or-break race for growth that only the bold- percent annual inflation.

Structural reforms will have to wait est gambler would risk. Who is this guy, and until Abe also has a majority in the upper what happened to change him so much?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

this year equates to about 3.6 percent annually, more than four times higher than the long-term average of the past two decades, and the Japanese stock market is up 80 percent since January.

The strategy is high-risk because Japanese government debt is already the highest in the developed world: 240 percent of Gross Domestic Product. If the surge in growth does not last, the government’s income from taxes will not rise (it is no higher now than it was in 1991) and in a few years the debt will soar to an unsustainable level. The country will essentially go bankrupt.

Of course, the surge may persist; creating a perception of vigorous growth is half the battle. But why take such a risk? Probably because Abe is keenly aware that Japan had the world’s second-biggest economy when he was prime minister the first time, and now it’s only the third-biggest. The country that overtook it was China.

For a thousand years China was the dominant power in eastern Asia. Japan wrested that role from it in the late 19th century, but now it’s going back to its natural home – and Abe would do almost anything to prevent that. That’s why he takes such a hard line on the dispute between the two countries over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. But much more importantly, he must get the Japanese economy growing again, or the country will end up far behind China.

To avoid that, he will take any risk.

Opinion/NEWS The love of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life

“I hope she’ll be a fool.

That’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”

It was the early 1920s when F. Scott Fitzgerald penned these lines for the first chapter of his seminal work, ‘The Great Gatsby’. Although a work of fiction, so much of the novel came from Fitzgerald’s life. Unfortunately for him, the quote above was far too real.

Fitzgerald first met his wife Zelda at a country club in 1918.

She resembled a modern tabloid celebrity—the spoiled rich girl who is famous for only being famous; one who saw life as nothing more than one big endless party. Fitzgerald fell madly in love with her. And it seemed she was equally in love with him, until he asked her to marry him. Zelda refused; he had neither the wealth nor the fame she craved.

Fitzgerald sought to change that, and after Scribners published ‘This Side of Paradise’ in 1920, Zelda agreed to become Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their marriage heralded what would be called ‘The Jazz Age’ in the United States. Women were out of control—bobbing their hair, driving, smoking in public, getting drunk, and kissing men not their husbands—all while dancing the Charleston. None did any of this better than Zelda. Amused at first, Fitzgerald found Zelda’s behaviour ex-

F. Scott Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda and daughter Scotty.

During one of her stays, something odd happened.

Zelda wrote her own novel.

‘Save Me the Waltz,’ was published in 1934. Her husband flipped. How dare she do this to him! He was the writer!

Using anecdotes from their marriage as the book’s material, Fitzgerald felt his wife had effectively sabotaged his next book, ‘Tender is the Night.’

Zelda never wrote anything again.

Much like ‘The Great Gatsby,’ there is no happy ending

here. Fitzgerald drank himself to death in 1940. Locked in a psychiatric treatment room awaiting electroshock therapy, Zelda burned to death in a hospital fire in 1948.

As he so eloquently wrote in Gatsby: “The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

Seniors Hall welcomes vertical lift Submit ted

Friends and members of the Senior Citizens Association Branch 11 of Cranbrook recently gathered at their hall to celebrate the completion of the installation of their new vertical lift.

Those attending the dedication ceremony included representatives of contributing groups and organizations who made installation of the lift possible.

Grants from Columbia Basin Trust, the Regional District of East Kootenay, and the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation; as well as donations from the Ladies Auxiliary to the Cranbrook branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Cranbrook and District Ambulance Association, the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Cranbrook, Medichair, and the City of Cranbrook all helped bring the project to a successful conclusion.

Olga MacDonald, who unveiled the dedication plaques, said she

hausting. He began to drink heavily, and continued to write.

‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ was published in Collier’s magazine in 1922. The tale of a man aging in reverse, Fitzgerald based it on a remark

by Mark Twain, who felt “it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.” This was followed by two novels—‘The Beautiful and the Damned,’ and ‘The Great Gatsby.’ Both books charted and explored his relationship with his wife.

Which by this time had become increasingly abusive and dysfunctional. Fitzgerald both loved and hated his wife. As her wild behaviour only seemed to increase, he began to grow suspicious of her. He turned more and more to booze, and began to write less and less. As the Depression killed off the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald was forced to face the truth about his wife: the party needed to end. There was something seriously wrong with her.

Diagnosed with what is now called bipolar disorder, Zelda spent the rest of her life in and out of psychiatric institutions.

Urlacher retires after 13 seasons with the Bears CHICAGO - Star linebacker Brian Urlacher says he’s retiring after spending 13 seasons with the Chicago Bears.

The eight-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement through social media accounts Wednesday. In a statement, he says “after spending a lot of time this spring thinking about my NFL future, I have made a decision to retire.”

Urlacher was the face of the Bears’ franchise and leaves as one of the game’s great linebackers. In March, he and the Bears were unable to reach a contract agreement and he became a free agent.

He started 180 games from 2000 through 2012, and recorded a team-record 1,779 tackles. He has 41 1/2 sacks, 22 interceptions, 16 fumble recoveries and 11 forced fumbles.

49ers WR Michael Crabtree has surgery for torn right Achilles tendon

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Francisco 49ers leading wide receiver Michael Crabtree has had surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon.

Crabtree was operated on Wednesday, one day after suffering the injury during an organized team activity.

Coach Jim Harbaugh would not speculate when Crabtree might return to play, but the injury is not necessarily season ending.

The 25-year-old Crabtree, the team’s 10th overall pick in the 2009 draft out of Texas Tech, had career highs last season with 85 receptions for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns for the NFC champion Niners, who lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl.

Canucks fire Vigneault and his assistants MONTE STE WART Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis is in no rush to name a replacement for fired coach Alain Vigneault.

“I don’t have a timeframe,” said Gillis during a news conference Wednesday after Vigneault’s dismissal was confirmed. “We just are focused on getting the right person, moving ahead and executing a plan that we have that is going to get us back to the level that we expect.”

Despite guiding the team to many unprecedented achievements, Vigneault paid the price for his NHL team’s early exit from the playoffs the past two seasons.

“I am proud of many of the things we accomplished as a group these past seven seasons in Vancouver and only wish we were able to win the Canucks’ first Stanley Cup,” said Vigneault in a statement.

“I am a career coach, and it is what I love to

do. I hope to coach again in this league and will always have good memories of my time and the fans in Vancouver.”

The club also fired assistants Rick Bowness and Newell Brown as the expected fallout from the Canucks’ firstround sweep at the hands of the San Jose Sharks finally came to pass.

Gillis said he was responsible for the dismissals, and that the ownership group, headed by Francesco Aquilini, did not pressure him to make the moves. The GM said he wants a coach who emphasizes the upbeat, offensive style of play like Vigneault did.

But it’s clear that Vigneault will be extremely hard to replace.

The Canucks’ alltime leader in coaching wins - he led the club to six Northwest Division titles, two Presidents’ Trophy titles and an appearance in the 2011 Stanley Cup final.

The Vancouver Canucks fired head coach Alain Vigneault and his assistants, Rick Bowness and Newell Brown on Wednesday afternoon. eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the last two seasons despite having home-ice advantage, including the four-game loss to the Sharks. It was the first time in 12 years that the Canucks were swept in the post-season.

“We’re in a results-oriented business and if you look at the last two playoffs we’ve been in, we were the higher-seeded team but lost the first two games at home,” said Gillis.

“We lost consecutive games in the last two playoff years, and there comes a point in time

where the message has to change and we have to be better. And we simply didn’t get the result we expected.”

Vigneault leaves with a 313-170-57 regular-season record over seven seasons in Vancouver, but a 33-32 record in the playoffs. He thanked Gillis, the Aquilini family, other Canucks executives and players as well as former GM Dave Nonis, who hired him, and former Canucks executive Steve Tambellini.

“The past seven years have been an honour for me to coach and work for a great franchise in a wonder-

ful Canadian city,” said Vigneault. “To work in a city with such passionate and loyal fans is a privilege - I enjoyed every moment of it.”

Vigneault, a 52-yearold Quebec City native, was awarded the 2007 Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year.

Notes: Canucks centre Jordan Schroeder underwent off-season shoulder surgery and is expected to recover by the start of the 2013-14 season. Gillis said no other players should require surgery for their ailments. ... Goaltending coach Rollie Melanson was retained.

The EKVC has wrapped up its season with appearances at separate national tournaments, with two out of five teams earning medals for their performances on the court.

The U16 Boys team, coached by Herb Tepper, slogged through three days of volleyball action to capture a bronze medal in Division Two — Tier One, while the U16 girls burned through all their competition to earn a gold medal in Division Three — Tier Two at a tournament in Calgary.

Two other teams playing in the U15 age category travelled to nationals in Regina, where they both finished in fifth place in their respective divisions.

The Calgary event featured over 160 volleyball teams from all across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manito-

ba and Ontario, which was hosted by the Olympic Oval at the University of Calgary.

The boys team won their pool on the first day of the tournament, and were repooled into another group the following day, which ended with the same result.

Their success gave them a bye into the semifinals and they faced a team from Prince George, but lost in a couple of tight games, said Tepper.

That put them into the bronze medal match, where they beat a team from the Yukon in two straight sets.

“It was definitely a good conclusion to the year,” said Tepper.

The girls team, coached by John Kendal, had even more success on the court, battling their way to a gold medal in Division Three — Tier Two. The first day of the

tournament, the girls finished in second place in their pool after three matches. The second day, the team finished in third place in their pool, after playing the same amount of matches as the day before.

They won their first game of the playoff round, which put them into a semifinal where they played a tough team that went to three sets. However, the EKVC prevailed and went into the gold medal match, which they won in straight sets.

“It was the end of a pretty good season for the U16 girls,” said Kendal. “It’s the start of true competitive volleyball for them, so it’s a big learning curve for them at this age.”

The EKVC has attended national volleyball tournaments for many years, which usually marks the end of the club season, said Kendal.

Thank You All!

Winterhawks down Blades 4-2 to earn semifinal berth Joshua Clipperton Canadian Press

SASKATOON - After watching his bloodied linemate helped from the ice, Chase De Leo did all he could to make one of his best friends feel a little better - help the Portland Winterhawks make the semifinal at the MasterCard Memorial Cup. De Leo gave Portland the lead for good in the third and the Winterhawks scored three times in the period to defeat the Saskatoon Blades 4-2 in the tournament’s final round-robin game.

With the score tied 1-1 after two, De Leo jammed a loose puck past Blades goalie Andrey Makarov at 4:08 as Portland (2-1) now moves on to Friday’s semifinal.

After the game, thoughts on the Portland side quickly turned to Winterhawks right-winger Taylor Leier, who suffered what appeared to be a blow to the head on a

hit from Blades defenceman Dalton Thrower just inside the Saskatoon blue-line in the first period.

A bloodied Leier, who is from Saskatoon, stayed facedown for a few minutes before being helped off the ice and did not return. The was no penalty on the play, but the Canadian Hockey League said in a release after the game that it was reviewing the incident.

“You don’t want to see a teammate go down, especially one of my best friends and linemates. It’s a scary thing,” said De Leo, who now has two goals at the tournament. “It’s not something you want to see and obviously the boys are going to get some energy and motivation to battle back for him.”

Not surprisingly, Winterhawks coach Travis Green and Blades counterpart Lorne Molleken had different interpretations of the hit.

“It’s pretty obvious where the shot comes.

It hits him in the head and there is a jump to it as well. The video is pretty obvious,” Green said. “We lost one of our better players to a hit that I thought should have been a major.”

Molleken, meanwhile, called the hit “unfortunate” but added that he thought Thrower caught Leier in the chest with his shoulder.

Winterhawks players disagreed.

“When you see a teammate go down like that you’re not going to stand by and watch but at this point in the tournament and how big of a game it was, we can’t take any stupid penalties,” said Portland forward Ty Rattie, who scored his fourth goal. “(Leier) got his head hit. It was a hit to the head.”

The host Blades (12), who were swept out of the Western Hockey League playoffs in the first round and have

never won a Memorial Cup, now have a tough task with three games in four nights.

A win on Wednesday would have meant a bye to the final, but Saskatoon now faces a Thursday tiebreaker game against the Ontario Hockey League champion London Knights (1-2).

“Going through adversity is nothing new for this team. We’ve had our ups and downs this year and we’re looking forward to proving ourselves again and taking the long way around,” said Saskatoon overage forward Josh Nicholls, who had a goal and an assist. “This a typical Blades way of doing things - taking that long way. Hopefully we get the job done and take three straight.”

The winner of the Saskatoon-London game will meet Portland in Friday’s semi.

With the Winterhawks’ victory, the Halifax Mooseheads (2-1) clinched a berth direct-

ly into Sunday’s final to decide the CHL champion.

Derrick Pouliot and Brenden Leipsic had the other goals for Portland (2-1), which got 29 saves from Mac Carruth. Nicolas Petan added two assists for the WHL champions.

Shane McColgan also scored for Saskatoon, while Makarov stopped 30 shots in taking the loss.

“It was a big win,”

Green said. “I thought their team came out hard like we expected early, tried to be physical on us and we withheld and I thought we slowly took over the game.”

After De Leo scored to give Portland the lead in the third, Leipsic added an insurance goal for Portland at 6:27, ripping a shot from the slot into the top corner past Makarov.

Rattie made it 4-1

with his fourth of the tournament at 10:16, beating Makarov to the glove side off the rush.

“We knew it was going to be hard and to get three quick bingos like that was big for the boys,” Rattie said. “(It) gave us a little bit more confidence and a little bit more leeway on defence.”

Nicholls scored at 16:27 to cut the deficit to two, but the Blades would get no closer.

Senators coach MacLean mute after 7-3 loss to Penguins C anadian Press

OTTAWA - Paul MacLean’s few words spoke volumes about what he thought of his team’s performance in their 7-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 Wednesday night.

In a most uncharacteristic move, the Ottawa Senators coach

didn’t take a single question in his postgame scrum. Instead, he held up the score sheet and said: “I think everything’s right here.

It’s 7-3. See you in Pittsburgh. We’re going to Pittsburgh and we’re coming to play. Have a good night.”

The loss leaves MacLean’s Senators trail-

ing the Penguins 3-1 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series with Game 5 Friday in Pittsburgh.

This was the third time in franchise history the Senators have allowed seven goals in a playoff game, the most recent in 2010 against Pittsburgh in a 7-4 defeat.

Sandy beaches, lush vegetation and a melding of cultures make Corfu a delight, says Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel

S

ome people would say any Greek island is paradise, and I would not really argue with them, but there are some that stand out more than others. For me, one of those is Corfu.

When I visited last summer, I thought, “Hmmm… this is an island I would like to come back to and explore more fully.”

Corfu is the second largest Greek island, located in the Ionian Sea. Corfu is almost more British than Greek. The British ruled the island for about 50 years in the 19th century. A famous writer, Edward Lear, spent winters on the island from 1855 to 1864 and said, “I think no place on Earth can be lovelier than this”.

Actually, Corfu had a continuous succession of foreign rulers, from the Romans, the Venetians, the French and

then the British.

There are great fortresses, the most famous – the ‘Old Fortress’ and the ‘New Fortress’ – divide Corfu Town into the old and new cities.

There are palaces, castles and museums.

But then there is also the lush vegetation.

Whereas many other Greek islands are dry and desert like, such as Santorini, here there are dense cypress forests, more than 30 beautiful beaches, sandstone cliffs, olive groves, picturesque mountain ridges and peaks, and flowers, flowers, everywhere.

Throughout the year, you will uncover extraordinary vegetation – tall cypresses, Californian sequoias, Jacarandas and various cactus.

The flowers are just as spectacular – hyacinths tulips, amaryllis, agapanthus, anemones, lilies, cyclamens, snowdrops and orchids.

The mix between British and Greek and other cultures is quite fascinating. You can go out to a cricket match, and afterwards dine on soupia, kefalotiri cheese, rabbit stifado and pastitsio.

What they have done in Corfu is figured out how to make Greek dishes with English ingredients, so they use a lot of potatoes but make them with olive oil, garlic, oregano and lemon.

Wine and cheese like the French, pasta and sausage like the Italians.

Oh, you can have it all here!

After visiting Corfu Town, and chatting with locals over espresso and pastries, I felt that this island was multicultural, large, interesting, and situated in a perfect Mediterranean climate!

I also discovered that there is a ‘Corfu Trail’, tracks around the island dating back a hundred years ago to British rule.

The Corfu Trail circles the island, visiting picturesque beaches along the way.

This walking trek can be done in about eight days. It sounds like it is well marked in some areas and wild in others.

12-year-old wins geography bee Ben Nuckols Associated Press

It was Sathwik’s first appearance in the National Geographic Bee finals — but he might have made it earlier if not for his 15-year-old brother, Karthik, who beat him twice in the Massachusetts state bee. Karthik finished 5th in the national bee in 2011 and sixth in 2012.

When her boys were in elementary school, Sathwik’s mother, Rathma Karnik, had them play games with an atlas instead of hide-andseek, asking them to be the first to find a city, body of water or landmark.

Sathwik wins a $25,000 scholarship, a trip to the Galapagos Islands and a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society.

WASHINGTON — Sathwik Karnik, a 12-year-old son of Indian immigrants, cruised to victory Wednesday in the 2013 National Geographic Bee, nailing questions about obscure island chains, bodies of water, global trade and culture.

Sathwik, of Massachusetts, correctly named Chimborazo as the mountain in Ecuador that represents the farthest point from the Earth’s centre — even farther than Mount Everest because the Earth bulges at the equator — to clinch the title. He got all five questions right in his one-on-one duel with the runner-up, 13-year-old Conrad Oberhaus of Illinois.

Corfu is spring and fall, avoiding the intense heat and crowds of summer.

The average temperature in the spring and fall is 20-25C. Rainy season (that’s why it’s lush) is November to March.

To get there, hop on a flight from Athens (one hour), or drive two hours to the ferry terminal and then it’s another

two hours by ferry.

Once in Corfu, either rent a car, use their extensive bus system, or as John Waller did, just walk!

The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice that it intends to amend the off-street parking and loading regulations that apply to all lands affected by Zoning Bylaw 1850 in Kimberley. Lands affected by the Alpine Resort Zoning Bylaw 2016 are not impacted by the proposed changes.

Bylaw No. 2470 (Amendment No. 118, 2013) proposes numerous changes that are intended to improve clarity and certainty of the offstreet parking and loading regulations. The proposed changes are intended to eliminate inconsistent parking regulations for commercial and residential uses in commercial zones by exempting all uses on lands zoned CP-1, C-1, C-2 and C-3 from off-street parking requirements. The proposed amendments would reduce the parking requirement for smaller residential units and reduce the loading requirements for smaller scale commercial and industrial uses.

A Public Hearing for Bylaw 2470 will be held on Monday, May 27, 2013 at 6:45 pm in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC. If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws, you may: a. Submit written presentations to City Hall prior to the hearing, or b. Submit written and/or verbal presentations at the hearing.

Bylaw 2470 and Zoning Bylaw 1850 may be inspected at City Hall from 8:30 am to 4:45 pm weekdays until the date of the hearing or viewed on the City’s website at www.kimberley.ca.

Dix staying on as B.C. NDP leader Tom Fletcher Black Press

Adrian Dix is staying on as B.C. NDP leader while the party reviews its performance in the May 14 election and prepares for four more years in opposition.

Dix didn’t specify a time frame for the election post-mortem, but said he will work to prepare the NDP opposition to hold the government to its election commitments.

“I assure you this review will spare nothing and no one, least of all me,” Dix told a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday. “It must address the strategy and tactics we employed in the election, and it must examine the fundamental question of who we are as a party and our relationship with the people of B.C.”

Police and fire department investigate a car explosion in Vancouver, May 22, 2013. The explosion, which flattened the car and shattered windows, was caused by a leaking tank of acetylene gas.

Car explosion makes Vancouver’s West End look like ‘war zone’ C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — The scene of an vehicle explosion in downtown Vancouver transformed a landscaped boulevard into a scene from a war zone blast, said Vancouver Fire Capt. Gabe Roder.

Bits and pieces of a car hung on power lines and were sent hundreds of metres, while windows were shattered up to the 12th storey of nearby buildings.

Roder said an acetylene tank, either leaking or left open inside a car, is to blame for the early-morning blast that tore apart a car parked on a street in Vancouver’s West End. “Just the simple action of the owner walking towards his car, basically opening his door with his electronic key ... a small spark occurred and that was enough to ignite that gas,’’ said

He singled out as a significant error his surprise mid-campaign decision to turn against the proposal to expand the Trans-Mountain oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state.

Dix expressed no regret for avoiding negative advertising, although he was targeted by a long string of ads questioning his personal integrity and competence. He stood by his choice as an attempt to engage more voters, but the campaign didn’t deliver a significant increase in the 51 per cent participation rate of the 2009 vote.

“I don’t believe last week’s results are the end of positive politics in B.C.,” Dix said. “The answer to the Liberals’ populist, right-wing playbook is not to simply adopt it.”

Instead of pushing Premier Christy Clark out of the job, the NDP ended up down three seats to 33 and the B.C. Liberals increased their majority to 50 seats.

Delta South independent Vicki Huntington was re-elected, and the B.C. Green Party made a breakthrough with the election of their first MLA, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

Clark is expected to meet with her team of candidates in Vancouver Thursday.

Roder.

“The owner is extremely, extremely fortunate not to have suffered any injuries.’’

Two other people who happened to be driving by in a vehicle at the same time weren’t as fortunate. Roder said both those people were sent to hospital with some injuries, mostly related to flying glass.

The owner has been interviewed by Vancouver police and there’s no belief that the explosion is a crime scene, Roder said.

Roder said the owner of the vehicle was a plumber and the acetylene tank was used for his work.

Fire crews were able to quickly put out the blaze caused by the explosion, but Roder said the clean up may take a little longer.

“It’s an incredible scene, one that you

don’t see very often,’’ he said. “It would be equivalent to what you and I would have seen in the Middle East.’’

Fire crews also conducted a door-to-door check of all the adjacent buildings to ensure that someone in a nearby suite wasn’t hurt by flying auto parts.

“We’re happy to say that we weren’t able to find any further injuries.’’

While Roder said such tanks aren’t in common use, it’s a good reminder to people who are transporting other tanks, such as propane containers, to make sure the tanks are transported in a well ventilated area.

Vancouver Police Const. Brian Montague said the cause of the blast is accidental and charges are not likely to be recommended.

Alberta boy names fall from the sky; 12 baby girls land as a Princess C anadian Press

EDMONTON — Liam and Emma have topped the list of the most popular baby names in Alberta in 2012.

It’s the third year in a row that Liam has been the favourite choice for boys.

Emma surpassed Olivia to move back into the No. 1 spot for girls.

Among the more peculiar names chosen by parents for their boy babies were Thunderbolt and Icarus.

And a dozen baby girls entered the world as a Princess.

Vital statistics show that 52,398 babies were born in Alberta last year, breaking the previous record of 51,505 in 2009.

Our Mission Statement:

Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District

Advocacy Update.

A

s many of you k n o w, y o u r C h a m b e r Board has made a decision to become much more active in advocating for the interests of business in Cranbrook and area. There are three areas in which we are directly involved: We are working hard – through an ad hoc committee led by Jason Wheeldon – to ensure that the City’s new sign by-law works for busi-

ness. Some of you are aware that there is a special meeting of Council on this by-law this afternoon at 2 pm in Council Chambers.

We are – in collaboration with Mayor Stetski and City staff - continuing our work on the “barriers to business” project. This is being led by Director Dave Butler. Our goal is to create an atmosphere that is welcoming for and attractive to busi-

ness, that is efficient and effective, and which leads to economic success for the community. As part of this project, we’ve been made aware that the City is considering a new building by-law, and we will be engaging on that to ensure it works for business.

Finally, we are looking very closely at a recent draft RDEK by-law about home-based businesses in areas of the

Regional District which surround Cranbrook.

Director Jeanette Sissons is leading an ad hoc committee on this issue.

We will keep you posted. For more information on the Chamber’s advocacy work on behalf of business, please connect with President Mike Adams or any of the Directors via the Chamber office.

Gardening tips for beginners Gardening is a rewarding hobby that many enthusiasts credit with helping them to peacefully escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Though gardening can be both relaxing and rewarding, it’s not as easy as it may seem, and the more time and effort a person devotes to his or her garden the more likely it is to be successful.

Gardening can be a little daunting for beginners who have little or no experience planting flowers or vegetables. But gardening need not be so intimidating, especially for those beginners who adhere to the following

tips aimed at helping novice gardeners start their gardens off on the right foot. * Determine what you should plant. Where you live will go a long way toward determining what you should plant. While you can plant anything you can get your hands on, the United States Department of Agriculture as well as Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada have determined specific plant hardiness zones that indicate which plants are most likely to thrive in given locations.

Maps of these zones can be found at www.usda. gov and www.agr.gc.ca.

By adhering to the

maps, gardeners can significantly increase their chances of growing successful gardens.

When in doubt about what to plant, consult a local gardening center or seek advice from a professional landscaper. * Think location when beginning your garden.

Beginners with large yards have the luxury of choosing the right location on their properties to start planting.

When choosing a spot, consider how much sunlight a location gets on a daily basis and the spot’s proximity to a water supply. If planting flowers, try to avoid planting in areas with heavy foot traffic so the

flowers are less likely to be stomped. If you’re planting flowers to accent walkways, then consider erecting a barrier around the flower bed to safeguard the flowers from foot traffic. * Get started before you plant. Preparing the soil a few weeks before you start planting can help the plants thrive down the road. Add some organic material, such as compost or fertilizer, to the soil roughly three weeks before planting.

This helps the soil retain water and nutrients, which will help your garden thrive. * Time your planting.

When you plant is

sometimes as important as what you plant.

Some climates allow for year-round planting, but many do not. When buying seeds, the packaging might suggest what time of year to plant the seeds. Adhere to these suggestions or your

garden might not grow much at all. In addition, keep in mind that many seedlings need significant light throughout the day in order to grow, so choose a time of year with ample daylight. * Don’t forget to mulch. Mulch can be as aesthetically appealing as it is effective. Mulch retains soil, helping roots to grow stronger, while deterring bugs and preventing weed growth. And many gardeners find mulch adds visual appeal their garden, and does so in a very inexpensive way.

* Clean your tools.

Beginners rarely recognize the importance of cleaning gardening tools before putting them away. At the end of each gardening session, clean your tools thoroughly, as soil left on your garden tools can play host to potentially harmful microbes that might kill your plants.

Gardening can be a labor-intensive yet gratifying hobby. By sticking to a few simple rules, beginners can develop a thriving garden to reward all of that hard work.

Deer-proofing a garden Creating a beautiful and bountiful garden is a popular pastime for people all across the country. It is important to keep in mind that aesthetically appealing plants may be appetizing to area wildlife, including deer. Those who do not want their gardens to turn into allyou-can-eat buffets for

deer, rabbits and other wild animals can take a more proactive approach to gardening.

Deer are opportunists who will no doubt see your garden as a salad bar ripe with all of their favorite foods. As housing developments continue to encroach on the natural habitats of deer and other ani-

mals, these animals are becoming more visible.

Deer may not be able to forage for food effectively in their smaller, natural surroundings, or they may become accustomed to the “easy pickings” they find in neighborhood yards.

Either way, you may encounter a deer in or around your area.

Keeping deer at bay involves some work and maintenance on the part of a homeowner.

There are safe and humane methods to repelling deer, or at least blocking access to the plants worth protecting.

• Fences are one way to deter deer from entering a yard and dining on your garden.

• Motion-activated devices may not work, nor the presence of pets.

Predator urine is typically an effective way at keeping deer at bay.

• There are many organic or chemically-based products on the market that deer may find offensive to the taste or smell.

• Change plants

• Inspections & Technical Services • Gutter Cleaning • Vinyl Siding Repair

In terms of perennials, plant these items once, and deer could stay away:

Can honesty and respect be part of a kitchen reno? Charlotte and Jim believe so and bet their renovation nest egg on it.

The Murdochs finally have enough for their kitchen reno. Jim’s brother’s wife’s uncle recommends Handy the Handyman. Charlotte, always the quiet skeptic, calls Handy to come over.

Handy arrives 45 minutes late in a rusted out, smoking truck. Stepping out while holding back his dog, he takes the last drag of his cigarillo before stubbing it out on their sidewalk. Jim and Charlotte look at each other with raised eyebrows before letting him in anyway.

After a brief glance at the rudimentary drawings Jim had done and a quick walk through the kitchen, Handy confidently says “yup, I can do this for you, gimmee a deposit and I can start at 8 a.m. sharp.” Charlotte writes the cheque and wonders if last night’s curry has suddenly given her a stomach issue.

About 10:20 the next morning Handy’s truck sputters to a stop and Charlotte watches in disbelief as his dog is let out to do his morning “business” on their boulevard and another cigarillo is added to their sidewalk. When asked about his late start, Handy’s “I’m here now,

aren’t I?” does nothing to ease Charlotte’s still queasy stomach.

Over the next two weeks Charlotte’s stomach issue intensifies and she no longer blames curry. Handy is continually late, arrives for a couple of hours and then disappears for a day or two, always has some excuse….traffic, lousy suppliers, truck problems, or sick kids.

After a month of living with a ripped apart kitchen now smelling of stale cigarillos, and putting up with constant lying and lame excuses, Jim and Charlotte fire Handy, who promptly bills them for additional materials and labour and then threatens to sue when they refuse to pay.

Jim spends hours calling contractors whose standard response is “we feel for your situation and what you’re up against, unfortunately we are servicing our existing clients and simply don’t have the time or resources to finish your handyman’s job.” Is there honesty and respect in their answers? Yes, but hardly comforting as the facts haven’t changed: the kitchen is still unusable, the renovation nest egg is rapidly depleting, and now poor Charlotte has developed migraines to go with her stomach issues.

Jim does what any responsible husband would do and heads to Home Depot to open an account for Handyman Jim. (Based on a true story, names changed to protect everyone, even Handy the Handyman)

Soaring the skies Local air cadets had a chance to get above the cloudy skies this weekend in glider planes. The Kimberley and Creston squadrons flew Saturday and the Cranbrook squadron, along with a few Creston members flew Sunday when the skies cleared. All the cadets that stuck around until the weather improved had a chance to go up in one of the two glider planes. Cadets also had the opportunity to get close to the planes, safety checking, pushing them into position for take-off and pulling them back upon landing. The gliders were pulled by a Cessna 182 before disconnecting and gliding back to the airport.

Arts council marks 40 years of creativity The Cranbrook and District Arts Council celebrated its 40th anniversary in style on Friday, May 17, with an eclectic mix of local performers, from instrument makers to storytellers. Proceeds went towards the council’s efforts to find a permanent home.

PHOTOS BY KAITY BROWN

At the Ktunaxa Gym, where the celebration was held, there was an art display from some talented artists attending the College of the Rockies

The CDAC is putting on a new art challenge to the community where people are welcome to decorate a cardboard deer and submit it into an upcoming competition called Deer Quest, a scavenger hunt around Cranbrook to find the colourful creatures.

Flute maker Scott Buxton played his own instruments, each with a unique sound.

A variety of mediums of art as well as a variety of styles were showcased at the Cranbrook District Arts Council’s 40th Anniversary.

Kossene Foster (above) and the rest of the Anadil Dancers performed exotic dances.

Celtic band Leather Britches showcased their unique sound at the celebration with a mix of old and new tunes.

Kimberley Summer Theatre Presents:

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you feel sluggish, do not be surprised. Your dream life last night might have been unusually active. Stay low-key in a discussion with a partner. Even if you have made a decision, take a day or two before you act -- new information could be heading your way. Tonight: Relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might have a set of errands and projects to complete, but a loved one keeps requesting your attention. Decide to make an adjustment, rather than get upset. You have a lot to do, but remember that people, especially this person, come first. Tonight: Come to a decision.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make your move. You know what you want to do -- now go for it. Others might be distracting, so for now, leave them be.

Once you feel more relaxed and accomplished, you might be more available. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise, even if it’s just walking the dog!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity leads you in a new direction and opens up a lot of doors. If this energy is funneling into your work, you might want to test out your ideas. In an emotional sense, you will see the results soon enough. Tonight: Reach out to friends, and start the weekend early.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to understand what is happening with you before you respond to others. If you feel out of sync, you might want to take part of the day off or work from home. A change of pace also could help. Go along with a friend’s suggestion. Tonight: Stay close to home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to understand what is motivating a loved one, especially if a situation makes no sense. Listen to feedback from someone you care about. You have the ability to be remarkably flexible -- demonstrate that characteristic. Tonight: Catch up on a neighbor’s news.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You appear to be confident, but

For Better or Worse

you actually could be concerned about a financial matter right now. Get advice from several people who think differently from you. Weigh a risk carefully; the potential losses might not be worth it. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You finally will feel ready to make a decision or have an important talk. Know that you might need to repeat your words in a way that others will understand. Use the moment to network, or choose to do some other activity that you would enjoy. Tonight: Out on the town.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take a break from all the activity. You will be happiest when you’re working by yourself in handling an important issue.

You might want to deal with a friend or loved one directly.

Stop and consider where you are coming from. Are you being clear? Tonight: Play it low-key.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Rethink a decision involving a long-term goal. A meeting gives you a greater grasp on what

is happening. You might be in the middle of some dynamic changes. Sometimes by saying nothing, you really are saying “yes.” Tonight: Tap into your imagination, and then go for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ability to move past a problem helps you let go of a difficult situation. A higher-up will give you approval to move in a certain direction, and you’ll feel empowered. Know that this person will be observing how well you handle a professional matter. Tonight: To the wee hours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your ability to empathize with others emerges. You might be able to help someone who can’t see the big picture. Ease this person into your vision, as he or she could have difficulty letting go.

As a result, he or she will make better choices. Tonight: Try some vegan cuisine.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have three wonderful young adult children. The oldest two girls both recently graduated from college and are living at home, working and saving money.

The girls were not particularly interested in dating until recently. Our oldest met a guy at work and has fallen hard. She’s always been family oriented, but for the past three months, all she wants to do is be with this guy 24/7. She spends most nights at his place, and we don’t see her at all on the weekends.

This behavior does not sit well with me. I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend the night with your boyfriend so early in the relationship. I also don’t like that she disregards her family, especially her younger sister, with whom she had a close relationship. My position is, if she’s still living at home, she should come home to sleep. She can fool around with this guy the rest of the day.

I understand I may have some old-fashioned values, but allowing my daughter to live with her boyfriend on a part-time basis shows no respect for my position and is hard for me to swallow. I normally have a great relationship with her, but I haven’t seen or spoken to her in more than two weeks.

I’m concerned that if I ask her to have dinner with us more often and spend some time with family on the weekends, she will resent it and it will make matters worse. Am I out of line? -- Concerned Dad Dear Dad: Be careful, Dad. Your daughter is now a grown woman. The lack of prior dating could be one reason why she is so over the moon for the new boyfriend. You apparently don’t object to her having sex, the toosoon timing of which is not up to you and at this point is moot anyway. You simply miss the girl she used to be.

It’s OK for you to say you don’t wish to subsidize her living with the boyfriend, but we hope you will do so in a loving way, letting her know you miss her at dinnertime. But we also recommend you invite the boyfriend to join you for meals and weekend activities.

This will not only encourage your daughter’s participation, but it will allow you to get to know the man who may become your sonin-law.

Dear Annie: My oldest sister is very selfish. She has three young children but never wants to spend any time with them. Sis is in her early 40s and acts as if she’s 16. She is only concerned with herself and what others can do for her.

She and her husband are always going out and foisting their children on everyone else. When we won’t watch her kids, she gets angry and then tells the kids we don’t love them. Unfortunately, Sis lives in the same town as my parents. I’d like to visit my folks, but I prefer to avoid my sister. Is that wrong?

-- Helpless Sibling Dear Sibling: We know it will be difficult, but we urge you to remain civil to your sister for the sake of her children. They need you.

Since you don’t live nearby, her selfishness should be manageable in small doses on rare occasion. Please try.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “A Father Who Knows.”

My 9-year-old son is legally blind and has epilepsy. He is often quiet and withdrawn, and leaving the house with him can be quite a task. He is impulsive and often says and does inappropriate things in public. We continually work with him.

I thought I was the only parent who could possibly understand what was going on with my son. I cried reading this letter, because it made me realize that others know my struggles. -- A Coping Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Quitting.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.

Committee deleted parts of Duffy report: Document

A cougar, like the one above, is on the prowl in Metro Vancouver.

Cougar stalking pets C ANADIAN PRESS

BELCARRA, B.C. - A cougar with a taste for house pets is prowling in the Metro Vancouver community of Belcarra, just west of Port Moody.

RCMP were called to the wooded, rural neighbourhood overlooking Indian Arm at

about 8:20 Tuesday night when a family reported the cougar had snatched their dog.

A 16-year-old tried to scare off the cat, but it took a swipe at him, too, before dropping its prey.

The pooch was pulled to safety, but the cougar prowled around the house for several

minutes before slinking away.

A conservation officer has been called to the area but there’s no word if the cougar has been tracked.

Area residents report seeing it in the neighbourhood and also say several house cats have recently vanished.

Sask. derailment leads to oil spill C ANADIAN PRESS

JANSEN, Sask. - Cleanup was underway Tuesday after a freight train derailment in southeastern Saskatchewan in which one of five cars that left the track spilled crude oil.

The accident happened as the Canadian Pacific Rail (TSX:CP) eastbound train was rolling through an area near the village of Jansen, about 150 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon.

CP spokesman Ed Greenberg said there were no injuries or public safety issues.

“There is one car that was leaking product,” he said. “We don’t have an estimate of how much did escape the car, but it has been contained into the area around the car.”

The leaking car was well back in the 64-unit train and remained upright. The other four cars were on their sides.

Excavation equipment was being sent to the site to build a

wall of dirt to further contain the spill.

Greenberg said the train was carrying other products besides oil, but there was no indication they were hazardous.

“It was a mixed freight train, so there were other rail cars with other commodities on it.”

Firefighters from Jansen were called in as a precaution.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada was sending an investigator to the site.

Reeve Bruce Elke with the rural municipality of Jansen was content with the way the situation was being handled, although he noted he was seeding his farmland and had not been to the scene.

“My understanding was that it wasn’t that big a spill and everything is going well,” Elke said.

Oilspills of any sort have been increasingly under the microscope as debate rages over

how best to get Canadian oil to foreign markets.

In New York earlier this month, while stumping for U.S. approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to the Gulf Coast, Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested rail was a riskier way to go.

Tuesday’s spill marked at least the third involving a CP train in the last few months.

In April, about 20 freight cars, including two that were carrying light sweet crude oil, went off the tracks near White River, Ont., about halfway between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. While it was initially thought that only 630 litres of oil leaked, the total was revised to about 63,000 litres.

In March, a Canadian Pacific train derailed in Minnesota. At the time, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said 76,000 litres leaked onto the still-frozen ground.

Decision time on F-35s C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The Harper government may have “hit the reset button” on the purchase of F-35s, but that doesn’t mean planning for the stealth fighter has been halted.

Indeed, Canada is facing a series of deadlines that will increase the pressure to stick with the controversial program or leave it behind.

Eight Canadian military officers continue to work on the

daily bulletin

multinational program in the U.S., at both the Pentagon and at Edwards Air Force Base in California, where they fill a variety of technical and planning roles.

An additional 16 military officers and civilians are also at work on the program in Canada, according to the public works secretariat, which is overseeing the replacement of the air force’s CF-18s.

The federal government re-

cently cut a $36-million cheque to continue Canada’s participation in the development of the radar-evading jet, bringing the country’s total contribution to $332 million.

But internal documents show the complex multinational ties run deep, and the country is facing is a series of deadlines and important program milestones that could have repercussions for years to come.

Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The Tory-dominated, closed-door Senate committee studying Mike Duffy’s improper housing expenses deleted a specific reference to his failure to co-operate with auditors before releasing its report to the public.

Duffy, meanwhile, said Wednesday he’s pleased that same committee will be reviewing his expenses once again.

A draft of the internal economy committee’s report, obtained by The Canadian Press, shows the sections of the report that were later dropped on the direction of the Conservatives.

Duffy’s apparent stonewalling of auditors happened after he had repaid $90,172 in expenses, a payment facilitated by a secret exchange of money with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s then-chief of staff Nigel Wright. Wright has since resigned and Duffy has left the Tory caucus.

The dropped paragraph details how the firm Deloitte was rebuffed when it asked Duffy again to provide additional documents, and for a meeting with his lawyer.

“In the circumstances the review that Deloitte has been asked to undertake is now unnecessary,” Duffy’s lawyer is quoted as saying in the original committee report.

“The considerable time required for Sen. Duffy to compile the extensive information and documentation required of him by Deloitte as well as his participation in the review of that material, to say nothing of the public expense involved in the same, is no longer needed.”

Another section of the report, describing the language that defines a primary or secondary residence as “unambiguous,” was also deleted - but it remained in the reports tabled on two other senators, Mac Harb and Patrick Brazeau.

The Liberals on the committee dissented when the final Duffy report was prepared.

The Conservatives have now tasked the same committee with reviewing Duffy’s expenses again, after it came to light that he had been campaigning for the party on some of the same days he said he was on Senate business.

Liberal senators had wanted to send Duffy’s expense file straight to the RCMP, but their motion to do so was deemed out of order by the Senate Speaker late Tuesday night.

Auditors at Deloitte said in their own report that because of Duffy’s failure to give them all the requisite documents, they couldn’t determine which days he was claiming expenses.

Duffy released a statement saying he welcomed the fact the internal economy committee would be taking up the matter again.

“Canadians deserve to know all the facts. I am confident that when they do they will conclude, as Deloitte has already concluded, that my actions regarding expenses do not merit criticism.”

Duffy was in the Senate chamber Wednesday, but did not speak to reporters as he left the building. A woman driving the minivan that picked him up honked at camera technicians who waited outside on Parliament Hill.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, fielding the first public questions on the matter since it erupted last week, said he assumed what many Canadians did when he first learned of Duffy’s repayment: that he footed the bill himself.

“Look, I think my belief here was reasonable ... that when it was said that Mr. Duffy had repaid his expenses, that indeed he - and not someone else - had repaid his expenses,” Harper said.

“I know Mr. Wright assisted him or did this for him, because he wanted to see the taxpayers reimbursed. That’s the right motive, but nevertheless it was obviously not correct for that decision to be made and executed without my knowledge or without public transparency.”

Harper spoke in Peru, where he is on a trade mission in South and Latin America, leaving Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird to respond to questions in the House of Commons.

Baird said Tuesday that two “independent” investigations were being undertaken into Duffy’s expenses, without naming the investigators. It subsequently emerged that the parliamentary ethics commissioner and the Senate internal economy committee were involved.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said no Canadian would consider the Senate committee an “independent” review.

“Does the minister not realize that that’s about as credible as Paul Martin asking Jean Chretien to investigate the sponsorship scandal?” Mulcair snapped in the Commons on Wednesday.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau flatly accused the government of obstructing a Senate audit.

“We know now that Conservatives on the Senate committee on internal economy used their majority to doctor the final report on Sen. Duffy’s expenses,” Trudeau charged. “Can anybody on that side of the House tell us who gave the order to whitewash the report on Sen. Duffy?”

Baird said the committee report was clear “that these expenses should not have been expensed.”

“No one in the government is disputing that fact. As I understand it, the report did in the end reflect the fact that repayment had been made.”
