Garden offers memorial place FROM PAGE 1 With successful memorial gardens undertaken by sister organizations, the Greater Trail group approached the City of Trail with the same idea. A memory garden, to be located at Gyro Park (in between the boat launch and the rose garden), has been mapped out and awaits committed funds from community groups before volunteers can dig in. The city has come on board with the removal of 23 trees ($25,000) and the installation of 35 angled parking spots, a $57,000 in-kind donation. The group’s donor recognition program would acknowledge sponsors within the garden that would eventually feature memorial plaques, providing that financial stability the group needs. However, the approximate $300,000 project is at a standstill while group members await interest from potential sponsors to gauge whether the project is in fact feasible. If there isn’t enough interest, the society will search for a new project to generate revenue. “A lot of people don’t get buried in the cemetery, it’s different now,” said Gibson. “You take the ashes and you keep them at home, or you take them to Saskatchewan or you dump them into the Columbia River. But those people want some sort of plaque or memorial.” Hospice has been through many changes over the years, including when IHA cut a social worker position from the program in 2010. Now operating as a society, the group has risen from one 12-hour position to employing two people at 32 hours a week combined. Program director Camille Roberts works in the hospital, connecting with nurses, social workers and patients who are battling a terminal illness while volunteer coordinator Peter Stoochnoff schedules bedside respite for these individuals at KBRH, long-term care facilities or in their homes. “I think the people, especially those who have used the service, really value it,” said Gibson, who became passionate about hospice after going through a similar process with her brother years ago. “If we don’t get an ongoing project started, Hospice (society) and the whole hospice service is done.” To learn more about hospice, to get involved or to donate, check out www.trailhospice.org Hospice can be reached directly at 364-6204 or via email at info@trailhospice.org

There was finally some heat in downtown Trail Thursday but it was coming from the barbecue as Kootenay Savings Credit Union Staff held their annual Bike to Work Week fundraiser Thursday grilling up hamburgers and hotdogs for hungry customers.

Three cougars put down in Robson FROM PAGE 1 Though the Slomans manage their garbage, Thin said it only takes one resident to slip for the entire neighbourhood or even the community to have a problem bear. “The danger of living in these fringe areas, where you’re surrounded by wildlife, is you have to be extra cognisant of the attractants in your backyard – whether it’s garbage, fruit trees, pet food, barbecues or bird feeders,” he said.

On Monday night, Trail council proclaimed June 1 as “Intergenerational Day Canada” in the City of Trail. The day is meant to encourage young and old to say hello and get to know each other better. Trail joined 88 Canadian cities to participate in the celebration of the project’s fourth year. “This is a call to action,” said

His public safety mandate recently brought him to Robson, where three male juvenile cougars were destroyed. He was called to Robson Tuesday afternoon where

one cougar snacked on a dog chained up in a yard. He managed to destroy this cat, before tracking down and killing another located 40 yards away up a tree. He then used both carcases to attract the third, which was killed as well. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years and I’ve never come across three male juveniles in one group hunting during the day,” he said. To report a problem animal call RAPP at 1-877-9527277.
June 1 was chosen as that day because of its close proximity to UN World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (June 15). “We are providing a focus day, time, and place for Canadians to share and to find out how to get their own projects started.” “Next year it is our hope that there will be spokespeople in all of these communities and provinces with many great stories to share,” said MacKenzie.

Costly pipe repairs for Cranbrook BY SALLY MACDONALD Cranbrook Townsman
A rupture in a wastewater pipe in the worst possible location has forced the City of Cranbrook to pull $1 million out of a reserve
fund. “This is a one million dollar surprise,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. The burst pipe is located out at the city’s spray irrigation

fields in Mayook – 20 feet beneath the newly renovated pumphouse building. The 24-inch pipe carries wastewater from one of the two lagoons at the spray fields to the pumphouse, from which it is dispersed through pivots to irrigate the 2,200-acre property. Unfortunately, a worst-case scenario came about this spring when city staff learnt that the 40-year-old pipe was leaking for some time. “It started off as probably just a pin hole leak and we don’t know how long it has been leaking, but we know it’s probably been leaking at least five years if not more,” Chief Administrative Officer Wayne Staudt told city council on Monday. Even worse than the tricky location of the burst pipe is that years of leaking wastewater created a sink hole underneath the pumphouse building, which contains hundreds of thousands of dollars in
technology. “This leakage then washed away and took the ground under the building, which was primarily gravel, and all that gravel is now moved out,” said Staudt. What’s more, the city discovered the problem at the worst possible time of year – early spring, when the lagoons are at their peak height. “We were right at the beginning of the season, when the ponds out there are at their maximum levels, and we’ve got to move that wastewater out onto the pivots and the spray irrigation. So it’s not something we could delay. We needed to move quickly so that we don’t exceed our limits,” said Staudt. To repair the 15 feet of burst pipe and stabilize the building, work that is now almost complete, staff had to use directional drilling to get at the problem 20 feet below ground. “The high cost of it
is because everything is under the building and we have to tackle it from the side of the building, doing almost a directional drilling method that we would use if we were drilling say under a railway or something like that,” said Staudt. He added that if the pipe had not been underneath the pumphouse, repairs would have cost only around $3,000. “In hindsight you would say that wasn’t a great design we have out there, so we are going to revisit it because the infrastructure in and around that building is approaching 40 years old.” It’s thought that the pipe, which should have another 20 years in its lifespan, eroded because of paint inside. Council authorized taking $650,000 out of its solid waste surplus fund, $200,000 out of its sewer surplus fund, and reassign $150,000 that was earmarked for upgrades at the spray irrigation fields.

B.C.’s Auditor General For Local Government is targeting several municipalities for audits over the next year, including Rossland and Cranbrook. Surrey-based Basia Ruta said value-formoney audits on operational procurement are planned for Delta, West Vancouver, Revelstoke and the regional districts of Fraser-Fort George and Comox Valley. Surrey will be audited for oversight of the RCMP budget and policing agreement policing. Victoria, New Westminster, Merritt, Port Alberni, and Williams Lake also face policing oversight audits. Other audits examining capital procurement projects and asset management programs will target Rossland, Cranbrook, Sechelt, Dawson Creek and Campbell River. The initial sets of audits are to be finished by March 31, 2014. Other audits are still to be announced on how well cities ensure clean drinking water and challenges unique to small, sparsely staffed municipalities. The AGLG was created by the provincial government despite objections from some B.C. cities who feared it could turn into a witch hunt for waste that failed to take into account differing municipal priorities, and that might duplicate existing audits at their expense. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a study Wednesday saying municipal spending in Canada’s four biggest cities far outpaces population growth and the rate of inflation.

Court rejects tobacco suit THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Several big foreign tobacco companies have lost a bid to have a $50 billion lawsuit by the Ontario government thrown out of court. Ontario’s Court of Appeal has refused their request. The three-judge panel unanimously said it sees no legal reason to overturn a lower court ruling that the case should proceed. Ontario launched a lawsuit against 14 tobacco companies in September 2009 to try to recoup past and present health-care costs related to smoking. The province Briefs claims the corporations should be on the hook for billions of dollars because they misrepresented the risks of smoking, did not take steps to reduce the effects and marketed cigarettes toward children and teens. The tobacco companies argued that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice didn’t have jurisdiction to hear the case. They also claim the lawsuit is based on a false theory that the companies conspired in the 1950s to withhold information from Ontario smokers about the harmful and addictive ingredients in cigarettes. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Every province except Nova Scotia has filed similar lawsuits.

Copter crash investigated THE CANADIAN PRESS FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - Investigators looking into a fatal helicopter crash in northern Alberta say weather at the time appears to have been good. Transportation Safety Board official Jon Lee says the chopper went down Wednesday over level, forested terrain that appears dry from photos of the site. Two investigators are at the scene and a third is in Fort McMurray at the offices of helicopter owner Wood Buffalo Helicopters. Pilot Bryce Campbell of Golden, B.C., and provincial biologist Kristina Norstrom of Athabasca, Alta., were killed in the crash. A second researcher, Simon Slater, was injured and taken to hospital. The scientists were collecting radio collars that had fallen off caribou in the Birch Mountain area northwest of Fort McMurray.
Crisis deepens for embattled Toronto Mayor THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A defiant Mayor Rob Ford brushed aside questions about a new claim Thursday that he knew the whereabouts of an alleged crack cocaine video in another chaotic day that saw two more aides leave. As the firestorm continued to rage, Ford said he’s staying put. “I’m not stepping aside,” Ford said late Thursday. “I’m running in the next election. Things are doing great and we’re doing fine.” Repeatedly asked about the allegations, Ford simply said: “Anything else? Anything else” That left his brother, Coun. Doug Ford, to denounce a Toronto Star report - it did not name its sources - that alleged the mayor told senior aides not to worry about the video purportedly showing him smoking crack because he knew where it was. “This is another false accusation. This is the Toronto Star trying to keep the story alive,” Coun. Ford said. “In my opinion, we have a disgruntled employee, ex-employee I should say, that obviously is upset that’s thrown these false accusations out.” Ford had already parted ways with three key staff members - his chief of staff and two press aides - since the scandal erupted two weeks ago. The latest departures brought the number to five. In a similar pattern to when former chief of staff Mark Towhey
was escorted out of city hall, another aide, policy adviser Brian Johnston, left under escort Thursday. Johnston told reporters in the basement garage he had resigned because “the timing was right.” Ford’s executive assistant, Kia Nejatian, also left the mayor’s office early Thursday although the circumstances were not immediately clear. Earlier in the day, Ford elbowed his way through a crush of media as he entered city hall. As reporters attempted to get him to respond, he said only “move!” as he pushed into his office. In a sign of the tension outside the mayor’s “fishbowl” office, every glimpse of the mayor was accompanied by the clacking roar of camera shutters. At one point, reporters rushed after a Ford aide thinking he had been fired. He was only going to the washroom. Two weeks ago, the U.S. website Gawker and the Star said they had seen cellphone video made by a drug dealer that apparently showed Ford smoking
crack cocaine. The reports have not been independently verified and the Star itself has said it could not vouch for its authenticity. Gawker has raised $200,000 to try to buy the video. According to latest Star report, sources said Ford told alarmed senior aides a day after the scandal erupted that he knew where the video was, and named apartments at a west-end complex. Still, Ford insisted it was business as usual. “I emphasize, and I assure you, that the work is being done, phone calls are being returned, emails are being responded to.” But unhappy councillors said the scandal has disrupted business at city hall. Coun. James Pasternak expressed dismay at how Ford has refused to address the allegations in a substantive fashion. “We’re looking for unequivocal statements from the mayor,” Pasternak said. “The ducking and weaving and waffling just won’t work around here.” Pasternak said the circus that has sur-
rounded Ford is a damaging distraction that gets worse with each passing day. Under current provincial law, a person may be disqualified from holding office if imprisoned, or an office may be declared vacant in a judicial proceeding. Premier Kathleen
Wynne expressed concern Toronto residents were losing confidence in their municipal leaders. “The mayor needs to deal with his personal issues,” Wynne said. “The lack of having dealt with them is creating a lot of that confusion.” HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

Canada’s political parties stand for nothing
R
ecent political events across Canada at both the federal and provincial levels have brought the issue of ideological politics, or in most cases the lack thereof, to the forefront of just how Canadians are being led. The Senate expense scandal has shook a seemingly stable Conservative majority government to its core, and the Prime Minister’s poor handling of the situation has made matters much worse. Provincially, issues such as B.C.’s Liberal Premier Christy Clark’s disasterfilled tenure, Alberta’s PC Premier Alison Redford’s budget mismanagement, and Ontario’s former Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty’s eHealth, Ornge, Gas Plant and labour scandals have Canadians from coast-tocoast asking exactly who is leading us and upon which principles are they doing so. Canadian politics have become almost sad, in
that we have leaders elected who stand for nothing and make policy decisions based on what the latest polls tell them is fashionable or expedient. Electoralist politics of the worst kind are guiding Canada’s political landscape and what is perhaps even most disturbing is that Canadians are not standing up to rein in such porous behaviour. Where is the outrage? Where are the calls for elections or votes of nonconfidence? Where are the protests that millions of taxpayers’ dollars are being wasted as governments try to protect themselves? The answer is fairly simple – Canadians are not electing leaders based on a sense of inspiration or a sincere desire to follow, but rather, are often left to choose the lesser of the evils. It is nothing new that political parties use polling data to guide policy, but what is abundantly clear from recent history
ROBERT
MURRAY Troy Media
is that those parties do not stand for very much or present a fulsome vision of how the country or their respective provinces should be led. Political scientists teach what ideological tenets inform the initial formations of our current political party system and the way a Conservative, Liberal, New Democrat or other ought to think. The problem is, in the real world, they rarely make policy according to the historical ideological basis for their party’s existence. F e d e r a l l y, the Conservative government
has shades of the right, but has grown the size of government, has constantly intervened in the economy, and spends far too much money – all of which are no no’s according to a basic Conservative ideology. The federal NDP seem to stand for not being Conservative or Liberal but certainly do not resemble the traditional NDP ideological stances of the past. The newly-branded Justin Trudeau Liberals have presented no concrete policy ideas whatsoever, and Trudeau’s leadership seems to be based more on a famous last name and boyish good looks than the prospect of strong leadership. Other examples at the sub-federal level tell a similar story, with Redford’s PC’s behaving more like Liberals and Ontario’s Liberals behaving more like an NDP government. Throughout the Canadian political spectrum, there is a crisis of
leadership and the proof for this is best found through the sheer number of scandals plaguing the country’s political leaders right now. Whether you identify yourself as a Liberal, Conservative, or a member of the Rhino Party, you do so because a party is expected to stand for a specific set of values that guide how they lead and make policy. In the absence of great leadership, Canadians have been settling and it is time to stand up and say enough. Scandals, boondoggles, and cover ups should not be tolerated and as Canadians we need to ask ourselves why they are and just what we are going to do about it. To date, believing in nothing seems to be costing more than actually believing in something. Robert W. Murray is an Adjunct Professor of Political Science in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta.

MCTAVISH
The idea for random acts of kindness apparently started in 1982 in Sausalito, California, when Anne Herbert scrawled “practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” on a place mat. The idea caught on because the act of kindness benefits the giver as well as the receiver. Acts of kindness trigger good feelings and reduce stress. An act of kindness triggers the release of dopamine (the feel-good neurotransmitter) and oxytocin (the social bonding hormone). It also triggers the vagus nerve, whose effects are known as the relaxation response. And those are just the effects it has on the giver and the receiver. Each act of kindness re-weaves a thread in our social fabric. The idea of random acts of kindness has grown to the point that The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has its own website with ideas, information and resources. Remember, it doesn’t take a huge effort or big dollars to be kind. A kind word and a smile don’t cost a penny and yet, they’re a priceless gift. Thank you, Uncle Fred.

Turn Senate crisis into opportunity An editorial from the Halifax Chonicle Herald Canadians have good reason to be fed up with senators who stick them with gigantic travel bills and improperly claimed housing expenses, and who live most of their lives away from the provinces they are supposed to represent. They have equal cause to be fed up with an appointment process that puts such entitled people in the Senate. The Senate has never had a popular mandate, so at the best of times it has never been a popular institution. But fallout from disallowed expense claims of senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb; time spent by senators Duffy and Wallin on party fundraising, and PMO meddling in Sen. Duffy’s expenses have raised discontent with the Senate to a new pitch. All this makes it easy for Canadians to call for the whole troublesome relic, and all who sail in her, to be dumped. But tossing the institution,
instead of ejecting offending members, poor expense controls and an awful appointment process, would be a mistake. The purpose of our Senate, like America’s - to reflect diverse regional interests in national government - was a good one. With a few changes, we could make it work. The U.S. did make it work by giving each state two senators, chosen originally by state legislatures and later by state elections. In Canada, we botched a good idea by having senators chosen by the prime minister. Our Senate really represents one political region, the PMO, and has done little to bring strong, independent regional views to bear on national decision-making. Having promised Senate reform, the Harper government has asked the Supreme Court to rule on the legality of allowing provinces to choose nominees, by elections or some consultative process, for the prime minister to appoint to the Senate. The court has also been asked
for an opinion on abolishing the Senate. Abolition may look politically attractive these days, but we believe choosing senators at the provincial level, in a non-partisan way with broad public involvement, is the better course, and a chance to finally get the Senate right. Small provinces like Nova Scotia would benefit from locally chosen senators with a strong mandate to represent our interests. The Dexter government could provide national leadership here by working with other parties to devise a credible nomination process. Whether this involves elections, or selection by a broad mix of local legislators and citizen and civil society representatives, the outcome will surely be senators who live here and credibly speak for Nova Scotia. As more provinces follow suit, these changes should improve the performance and the reputation of the Senate. The best use of the Senate expenses flap would be to make provincial senator selection a reality.

PEOPLE Billy Joel
Singer surprises student assembly THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Billy Joel was back in high school. The singer surprised an assembly full of students at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in the borough of Queens on Thursday, appearing with Tony Bennett, who opened the school in 2001 through his Exploring the Arts program. Joel performed songs on two different pianos onstage - he sang “New York State of Mind” on one and “She’s Got a Way” on the other. In between his performances, he answered questions from students. The first: “What do you think is one of your biggest mistakes?” “My biggest mistake was signing a lot of contracts that I didn’t know what they were about,” said Joel, who released his first album in 1971. “I signed away a lot of my rights - record royalties, publishing rights, copyrights and it took me years to get that stuff back.” One male student asked for a hug as the audience cheered on, another had the 64-yearold sign his yearbook and a young girl got an autograph for her mother. The crowd of 400 students brought a playful side out of Joel, who was lively with the students. When asked who his favourite collaborator was, the Grammy winner answered: “Probably Elle Macpherson. That was a good collaboration,” he said of the Australian model he dated in the 1980s. One girl asked Joel if he would play “Uptown Girl.” “It’s my favourite song,” she gushed. “It sounds like crap without harmonies and drums,” Joel replied. “I can be your harmony,” she added to laughs. Joel did not graduate with his high school class and instead was given a diploma 25 years later. He said in an interview that his favourite moment in school was cutting class to go play the piano in the auditorium. He also said he was greatly affected by one of his teachers. “I had a good chorus teacher and he encouraged me to become a musician. That’s my greatest memory of school - an adult said, ‘You should consider becoming a professional musician,”’ he recalled. “I’d never heard (that) before in my life and that kind of changed my life.” Bennett’s Exploring the Arts program supports 14 schools in New York and will launch three schools in Los Angeles this year. He and his wife, former teacher Susan Crow, kept Joel’s appearance a secret since March. “I had teachers texting me last night, ‘Susan, who’s coming?’ My lips are sealed,” Crow said. Joel’s interaction with the students was a memorable moment for Bennett, a Queens native. Joel, who was born in the Bronx, said he was teased when he would get piano lessons since that teacher also taught ballet. “I would walk by the guys on my block (and they’d say), ‘Where’s your tutu?’ They’d knock the books out of my hand,” Joel recalled, which earned a stream of “awws” from the students. “But then I took up boxing,” he said.

This is kind of iffy, there’s a lot of competition.” Still, even if a career in film or video doesn’t hold much attraction as permanent vocation, the team still see the value in their sideline. “I made a video for the Relay for Life, getting to see the families, all the people trying to help,”explained McLean. “You get so much more of an impression of the person with video than with stills, to be able to hear them talk about it themselves. I really liked that project.”

Outspoken priest challenged ideas THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - The Rev. Andrew Greeley, an outspoken Roman Catholic priest, bestselling author and longtime Chicago newspaper columnist who even criticized the hierarchy of his own church over the child sex abuse scandal, has died. He was 85. His longtime publicist, June Rosner, said Greeley died Wednesday night at his Chicago home. Greeley was the author of more than 50 bestselling novels, many of them international mystery thrillers, and dozens of nonfiction works. His writing was translated into 12 languages and his career spanned five decades. The Chicago-area native wrote a weekly column that appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times and other newspapers on the relationship between religion and politics. He was a contributor to the New York Times, National Catholic Reporter and other publications. Greeley had suffered a traumatic brain injury in November 2008, after he snagged his jacket on the door of a taxicab and fell. He spent several months in rehabilitation and underwent intensive therapy, though he never regained full cognitive function. Greeley, who became a priest in the spring of 1965, published his final book, “Chicago Catholics and the Struggles Within Their Church,” in 2010. It was a topic he had explored for years, sometimes giving him a reputation for generating controversy in the church. “Sometimes I think that we as priests and bishops have done everything we possibly could to drive away the laity during the last 20 years,” Greeley wrote in his book “Catholic Contributions: Sociology and Policy,” published in 1987. Greeley also had said neither the church nor government was willing to do much about priests who sexually abuse children. “The sexually maladjusted priest has been able to abuse the children of the laity and thus far be reasonably secure from punishment,” Greeley told a lay Catholic group in 1992. During a news conference in 1987, Greeley said that if he were heading a church fundraising campaign, he would admit to church members that “we’ve really goofed. People are resentful over what they take to be the insensitivity of church leaders - particularly on matters relating to sex.” Greeley was a sociology professor at the University of Arizona and a researcher at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. He earned post-graduate degrees from the University of Chicago in the 1960s. The priest became often quoted and interviewed in the media. In a biography published on his website, Greeley described himself as having “unflinchingly urged his beloved church to become more responsive to evolving concerns of Catholics everywhere.” The same biography noted he was a Chicago sports fan and cheered for the Bulls, Bears and the Cubs, “while praying for them to improve.” Former President Bill Clinton listed Greeley among those who had stayed the night at the White House. Clinton’s deputy White House press secretary said Greeley’s novel “Irish Lace” was one of the books the then-president had on a vacation reading list in July 1997. In 1986, Greeley offered the Archdiocese of Chicago $1 million to create a foundation to help inner-city Catholic students. The archdiocese refused the money but wouldn’t say why. Greeley instead set up his own Catholic InnerCity School Fund to distribute money to the 80 Catholic schools in the city with student enrollments that are more than 50 per cent black or Hispanic.

God’s Great Love
…But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners… our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies… Romans 5:7-11 (NLT) God is distinguished by how he loves. Country singer George Strait had a hit song “It’s a love without end amen”, in the song he’s standing before the pearly gates and thinks “if they know half the things I’ve done they’ll never let me in”; then he hears a voice from inside the gates “Daddy’s just don’t love their children now and then, it’s a love without end amen”. God’s love is unfailing, it is steadfast no matter what we have done or where we are at, He remains faithful. He doesn’t just sweep our sin under the rug; there is far too much brokenness in our world crying out for His justice for that to happen. There was a tribal Chief on an island. The Chief was a good man. He was physically strong, morally uncompromising in Justice, and loved his family and tribe greatly. The chief loved his tribe so much that his penalty for anyone who violated the law was severe, which resulted in very little crime and ensured safety for the tribe. One day, some men reported to the Chief that food had been stolen, causing another family to go hungry. The penalty for such a crime was 50 lashes. The Chief ordered that the criminal be found and publicly disciplined. Two days later, the men told the Chief that the thief had not been found, but instead, had stolen again, causing another family to go without food. The Chief commanded the tribe to search the island until they found the thief, and then bring him immediately to the place where he would be publicly punished with his sentence of 100 lashings. The tribe searched until they found the thief, and brought him to the Chief. When the Chief looked at the captured criminal, he was shocked as he recognized the man to be his very own son. All the tribe gathered around the place where the man would be punished, and they waited with great concern to see what the Chief would do. Would he uphold Justice and have his own son whipped with 100 lashings, surely causing him to die, or would he compromise Justice and overlook his son’s crimes. With tears in his eyes, the Chief knew that his son must be tied to the tree and his 100 lashes must be given. The boy was strapped to the wood, and as the man with the rock studded whips raised his massive arms to tear into the back of the young thief, The Chief stepped forward, removed his robe, and wrapped his own arms around his son’s body. With his bare back exposed to the executioner, hiding his son’s tender flesh beneath him, the Chief said, “Begin the lashings.” And the Chief took all 100 lashings, allowing his own blood to be shed to save his son. The Chief upheld Justice—the punishment was given-and at the same time, he demonstrated his great love for his precious son. God demonstrated His love by sending his son Jesus, to live as a man, identify with our human condition and to take our sins on himself and die on the cross. We see God’s holiness satisfied when his love (beloved) was nailed to the cross; the place where God’s wrath and love come together. Jesus died our death, in our place, it was a substitution, a ransom, an act agreed upon by the Father to pay for our sins, our lashes. The good news is that our sin, in all its ugliness, can be forgiven. He made provision fully knowing our condition and all that we have done. By simply turning from our sins, and placing our complete faith and trust in Jesus Christ we can experience “His love without end amen”. Pastor Bryan Henry Fruitvale Christian Fellowship

Rockies lost 20 per cent of snow since 1980s: study BY SALLY MACDONALD Cranbrook Townsman
Wednesday, June 12, 2013 6:00 pm Muriel Griffith Recital Room, Trail Community Centre Everyone welcome to attend!
The Rocky Mountains have lost 20 per cent of their snow cover since the 1980s, according to a U.S. geological study. The study by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey found “unusually severe declines in snow pack in the northern Rocky Mountains” since the
1980s. Earlier research had found that before the 1980s, snow pack was low in the southern Rockies when it was high in the northern Rockies, and vice versa. This new study found that the decline now applies to the entire length of the mountain range. “Each year we looked at temperature and precipitation vari-

ations and the amount of water contained within the snow pack as of April,” said scientist Greg Pederson, the lead author of the study. “Snow deficits were consistent throughout the Rockies due to the lack of precipitation during the cool seasons during the 1930s — coinciding with the Dust Bowl era. From 1980 on, warmer spring temperatures melted snow pack throughout the Rockies early, regardless of winter precipitation. The model in turn shows temperature as the major driving factor in snow pack declines over the past 30 years.” To conduct the study, geological scientists measured the amount of snow against monthly temperature and precipitation data, going all the way back to 1895 and running the figures all the way to 2011.
That gave the scientists a look at how winter temperature, spring temperature and precipitation has affected the snow pack. Geologists found that regional snow pack accumulation is very sensitive to changes in those two factors — temperature and precipitation — over time. However, it is hard to see why the snow pack has declined so rapidly in the past 30 years. Patterns are hard to discern when analyzing variation of temperature and precipitation because La Nina and El Nino affect the northern Rockies differently than the southern and central Rockies. Recent changes to the snow pack in the mountain range were compared to evidence from tree rings going back 800 years. Greg McCabe, coauthor of the study, explains that “recent springtime warm-
ing also reduced the extent of snow cover at low to middle elevations where temperature has had the greatest impact.” “Both natural variability in temperature and anthropogenic warming have contributed to the recent snow pack decline, though disentangling their influences exactly remains elusive,” said Julio Betancourt, a fellow researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey. Snow pack on the Rockies is important for both the U.S. and Canada because it affects things like crop irrigation, energy production at hydroelectric dams, as well as the risk of flood and wildfire. According to the study, if snow melt happens earlier and faster, it can have repercussions for water supply, risk management and ecosystem health for communities west of the Rocky Mountains.

Government’s plan to privatize hot springs delayed Invermere Valley Echo
BY NICOLE TRIGG
The federal government’s plan to hand over management of all three mountain parks’ hot springs to a private operator has been delayed. The Request for Proposals (RFP) were expected to be released in early 2013 but that has been held off until fall at the earliest, according to Tracy Thiessen, executive director of Mountain National Parks. “We’re in the process of discussing the interests of area First Nations in this land divestiture,” Thiessen said. “These pools are in their traditional territories.” In April 2012, the government announced its plans to privatize all three hot pools — the Radium Hot Springs pool as well as the Banff Upper Hot Springs and the Miette Hot Springs in Jasper. Forty-two pool employees were notified their positions may be subject to workforce adjustment. May 2013 was set as the target date for the transfer with the RFP

due out in six to eight months. A year later, the RFP is still under development, which Union of National Employees Public Service Alliance of Canada regional vice president Kevin King takes as an indication that the whole privatization project is not getting off the ground. “The people we represent (hot pools employees) are continuing to be on pins and needles,” King said.

There are roughly 20 First Nations across the mountain parks that have an interest in the hot pools, including the Ktunxa and Shuswap First Nations in the Columbia Valley. “The Hot Springs lie within Ktunaxa Traditional Territory, and have historically been used by Ktunaxa,” Ktunaxa Nation Chair Kathryn Teneese told The Valley Echo in an email. “The Ktunaxa Nation are aware that Parks Canada is in the process of

Town tries deer hazing technique By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin
While most people in Marysville were still in bed, or enjoying their morning coffee Wednesday, two border collies — Bob and Tess — were moving deer. There was no fuss, no muss, no stampede — just a group of deer moving out of town under the guidance of two very well trained dogs. Kimberley’s onetime only trial with aversive conditioning of urban deer took place on Wednesday morning. It was kept purposely low-key, with only a few deer committee members, the provincial government biologist Irene Teske, and Coun. Darryl Oakley along to watch as John Zehnder and Margie Jamieson let their dogs

Rossland Secondary Royal Kaycee McKinnon puts the finishing touches on this Kayla Zimmer corner kick to tie the game against St. Ann’s Academy from Kamloops. The Royals would go on to defeat St. Ann’s 2-1 in the first game of the B.C. Single-A high school senior girls soccer championship on Thursday. who finished it, sending the ball to the back of the net to tie the match at 1-1. The Royals’ midfield and defenders thwarted St. Ann’s offence at every turn, as the Kamloops team could not manage a shot on goal in the second half. The Royals continued to press relentlessly, generating scoring chances on strong runs up the flanks
by McKinnon and Zimmer, and stretching the Academy’s defence to give McKay and Derochie ample opportunity on the inside. It would prove the difference, as St. Ann’s was repeatedly forced to clear the ball setting up the RSS corners. Zimmer, who had hit the post on a previous attempt, would also be named player
of the game for her assists on the two goals. “I feel pretty good, I’m pretty proud of our team too, it was a team effort definitely out there,” she said. It was the first time the Royals faced St. Ann’s this year, and after some initial nerves the team was able to settle down and play their game. “I was a lot wor-
ried (at the half),” said McKinnon. “They were a good team and we aren’t use to playing hard teams right now, so it was a good victory for them (RSS).” Emile Bartle was named player of the match for St. Anns. In Rossland’s win against Fraser Lake, the Royals received goals from Jill Armour, Zimmer, and McKinnon in the 3-0

The 10-year-old karate practitioner almost pulled out a silver in the individual kata. Verigin, a Fruitvale
Elementary School student, was actually tied for second place after the event, but had to perform a tiebreaking kata to decide it. Her scores in the second kata were better than her first marks, but she was edged out by a tenth of a point by her competitor and had to settle for a bronze medal. Verigin qualified for kata and long weapons kata with two gold medals at the regional championship in Kelowna last March. She joined the Macy Verigin displays her Zone 1 and 2 team with over bronze medal form at the 60 others who qualified from provincial championships last the Thompson-Okanagan and Kootenay-Boundary includweekend in Richmond.

ing a large contingent from Castlegar’s Shotokan Dojo. “Macy’s weapons division was really tough competition, it included girls ages 10-14 and included novice and advanced belts including a Brown Belt (just short of black belt),” said Chito-ryu sensei Scott Hutcheson. “But I’m really proud of her performance.” Verigin placed a respectable fifth place in weapons to round out an excellent competition. For more information on Chito-ryu Karate call Beaver Valley Recreation at 3679319.

home from work. Our son said if he hadn’t known the truth, he would have believed his grandmother. She was very convincing and even brought on fake tears. Our children are now so upset with their grandmother that they do not want her near their kids, planting lies in their minds. I have tried to be the better person over the years, welcoming my mother-in-law into our home, giving her birthday presents and even planning anniversary parties when none of her other children could or would. But I’m done. My husband has confronted his mother
Mom whenever possible. It’s terribly sad, but you cannot force her to be a better person. (She sounds mentally ill.) Dear Annie: I am a skinny woman with large breasts. I know there is a crazy stereotype that women like me are wild party girls. I’m actually quite conservative. But other women seem to think it’s OK to poke my breasts or lift them, probably to check whether they are real. Last week at a party, some insufferable girl I just met turned the entire conversation to my breasts. I walked away to cool off, but someone overheard me say that the girl was obnoxious. So “poking girl” started shouting at me, and you can guess how the rest of the night went. Annie, please tell your readers that just because a woman has large breasts doesn’t mean she wants to be poked and prodded in public. Where
have basic social graces gone? -- Staying Classy Dear Classy: You hang around with some inappropriate, rather creepy women. Your body, all of it, belongs to you. If someone touches your breasts, gasp in horror and perhaps yell loudly for the
police. What nerve. Dear Annie: Thank you for recommending the NAMI Family-toFamily class to “Parents at Wits’ End.” When I took that 12-week class, I learned so much about mental illness, as well as finding support and hope from other par-
ents. I have no doubt my son is doing better because of it. -- Grateful Mother Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Our marriage has been great, except for my manipulative and emotionally blackmailing mother-in-law. Our only fights have stemmed from lies and made-up stories this woman tells. She has destroyed relationships with other family members and blames me for it even when we live miles away. I support my husband in any decision he makes regarding her, and I have never badmouthed her. She recently pulled the ultimate scheme.

Cards of Thanks The family of the late Ariella Buna would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to us after the passing of our beloved wife, mom, and nonna. The many cards, mass offerings, in memoriam donations, flowers, baking, meals and phone calls were greatly appreciated. Many thanks to Father Jim McHugh and OLPH parish for their prayers and words of comfort. Special thanks to Dr. Phillips, Dr. Scotland, Oncology nurses Kelly and Ron and the 3rd floor KBRH nursing staff (esp. Rachel and hospice volunteer Donna) who cared for Ariella with dignity and compassion. To Al Grywacheski and the staff at Alternatives Funeral Services, thank you for your guidance and professionalism. Attillo, Paul, Flora & families.
