MALICE IN WONDERLAND: Cranbrook Mountain Town Maulers jammer K-Pow attempts to break through the pack during the second of two bouts Saturday night at the Civic Arena in Kimberley. Kimberley’s Bavarian Barbarians ended up beating the Maulers 225-143 in the bout. Fernie Avalanche City Roller Girls defeated the Killer Rollbots of Invermere 185-145 in the earlier bout.

RCMP brings in gang unit for fight weekend To help keep things safe, local RCMP brought in the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit to help police at this past weekend’s MMA event ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

This past weekend heralded the Battle for the Border 2 mixed martial arts fights in Cranbrook. During the first event, held last September, RCMP brought in a special gang unit called the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, and this weekend was no different.

Cpl. Pat Prefontaine said that the unit, which works out of the Lower

Mainland, was brought in to assist the local detachment with the event.

“We brought them up as a resource,” Cpl. Prefontaine said. “The RCMP is an intelligence lead organization and they have the recent information on gang activity and we thought this was a good opportunity to bring them up to Cranbrook.”

Prefontaine said the last time they were here, in September, the community seemed to appreciate the pres-

ence.

“We got very positive feedback from the people and we thought we’d bring them back a second time,” he said.

Sgt. Mark Jordan said his unit’s focus is on members of organized crime and gangs that pose the highest risk to public safety. The unit was formed in 2000 and the uniform team has been around since 2007.

Art for Autism Rising costs for autism therapy raise concern for local families SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

A Cranbrook mom is taking matters into her own hands to raise funds for a local autism program.

Brandy Sims’ son Riley, 5, was diagnosed with autism two years ago. Since then, he has received 10 hours of therapy a week through the East Kootenay Behaviour Intervention Program.

Although physicians recommend children under six with autism receive 25 hours of therapy a week, the government only provides

enough funding for 10 hours.

“So to say that we hang on tight and cherish these few hours that we do get may be an understatement,” said Brandy.

“This therapy is essential for him, as it is for all children in the program. Sadly, the program is facing an impending rise in operating costs, and the government will not be providing any additional funding for the kids.”

The Union of B.C. Municipalities has decided not to get involved in a West Kootenay Ecosociety petition to the B.C. Supreme Court about Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality.

The Nelson-based society, which has been an opponent of Jumbo Glacier Resort for more than a decade, filed an application for a judicial review of the resort municipality, arguing that creating a municipality with an appointed mayor and councillors violates the constitution and some provincial statues.

The council of both the Village of Radium Hot Springs and the District of Invermere sent letters to the union about the petition in the months after the application was filed — Invermere council asking the union to intervene and Radium council

West Kootenay EcoSociety executive director David Reid stands outside the Nelson courthouse last week after submitting an application for a judicial review of the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality. asking the union not to.

Union president Mary Sjostrom wrote both municipalities back on Thursday, May 9, saying the union would stay out of the matter.

“We normally don’t get involved (in legal matters) at this stage, but mainly the union

executive chose not to get involved because it is not a local government filing the petition and we represent local governments,” Sjostrom said, adding that when the union does intervene in legal matters involving its member municipalities, it typically does so during the appeals stage.

“It could have been different if it was one of our members filing the application” she said.

“But it was a society.”

Invermere council formally received and filed its letter from the union during its May 14 council meeting while Radium council formally received and filed its letter during its May 22 council meeting.

In both letters, Ms. Sjostrom wrote that the union spent substantial time reviewing background information on the matter, considering options and deciding what to do. Ms. Sjostrom also said the union executive came to the conclusion that consultation by the Province with the union regarding Bill 41 was inadequate.

The mayors of Invermere and Radium had

differing reactions to the union’s response.

“We are pleased with the decision. Local governments, especially in the East Kootenay, are not challenging this. It is an ecosociety from the West Kootenay that is, so UBCM has no jurisdiction in the matter,” said Radium mayor Dee Conklin, adding that Radium council wrote its letter to let the union know that not all municipalities and people in the region are anti-Jumbo.

Invermere mayor Gerry Taft said he was disappointed with the union’s response and has sent another letter back to the union expressing concern with its decision.

The West Kootenay Ecosociety’s executive director David Reid also expressed unhappiness with the union’s decision.

“Obviously we’re disappointed that the UBCM has decided not to become involved in this issue, which has ramifications for municipalities across B.C.,” said Reid. “It’s strange because the majority of UBCM members voted in support of a resolution last fall that took the province to task for moving forward with the (Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort) municipality without consulting the UBCM.”

Cranbrook will be among first municipal audits

Cranbrook’s asset management and capital procurement policies to be prodded in planned municipal audit Townsman Staff

The City of Cranbrook will be among the first municipalities to be audited by the province’s new Auditor General for Local Government.

The city will be audited under the Learnings from Local Government Capital Procurement Projects and Asset Management Programs along with the City of Rossland, District of Sechelt, District of North Vancouver, City of Dawson Creek and City of Campbell River.

The audit is one of three planned to be reported by March 31, 2014 and two more to be finished by Aug. 31, 2014. It is listed as number three out of the five audits.

“These audit topics and the selection of local governments were developed following best efforts for a comprehensive performance audit planning process that began shortly after I began work as AGLG early this year,” Basia Ruta, the auditor general for local government, said.

“This process included extensive consultation with local governments and other stakeholders on issues most relevant to them in their

efforts to deliver value for the tax dollars they spend.”

Ruta added that the planned audits and reporting dates could change, and local governments initially identified as part of the survey phase (planning phase) may be revised.

The performance audit planning process is described in some detail in the AGLG’s 2013/14 – 2015/16 service plan, which can be found at the AGLG website (www.aglg.ca). The performance audits will be carried out by the AGLG using audit teams that include contracted auditors and AGLG staff.

For 2013/14, KPMG has been contracted to assist with performance audit projects one and three and Grant Thornton has been contracted to assist with performance audit project two. Both were selected through a competitive procurement process conducted by Shared Services BC on behalf of the AGLG. The new office said that work on the three 2013/14 performance audit topics will begin almost immediately.

Planned performance audit projects four and five will begin later this fiscal year.

Kilo of pot seized at RCMP road check C A R O LYN G R AN T Daily Bulletin

You never know what might turn up at an RCMP road check.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, June 2, Kimberley RCMP turned up a kilogram of marijuana, found in a vehicle that tried to avoid the traffic stop.

Three officers were working the road check on Hwy 95A just north

of Marysville, says Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley Detachment, when they observed a vehicle turning around before it could enter the check.

“Officers caught up to the vehicle and while dealing with the occupants noted an odour of marijuana,” Newel said.

Sgt. Mark Jordan (left), of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, and Cpl. Pat Prefontaine of the Cranbrook RCMP are pictured outside the Cranbrook detachment Friday, May 31.

Combined Forces unit in town for event Continued from page 1 Jordan has worked as a policeman for the last 22 years and for the last four years has served as one of the supervisors for teams at CFSCU. The unit travels around to different areas where it is needed, and works in Kelowna, Prince George, Penticton, Vancouver Island and other places.

Jordan said the reason the RCMP requested the unit be brought in is its experience.

“Although there’s a number of people that are regular people attending these events that have no ties whatsoever to organized crime,” he said, “there are people that are associating with gangs and gang members at these events and we just want to make sure that they don’t pose a public safety risk at any of these events, so every member of the community can just enjoy it in a safe environment.”

Jordan said that his unit has

firsthand information that members of organized crime own and operate some gyms where mixed martial arts training is taught.

“I want to emphasize that mixed martial arts fighting does attract a cross section of people and there are those people that are just normal athletes training in the sport,” he added.

Jordan said he couldn’t get into the specifics at the time, but said if there were rival

gangs in the same area at the fights, members of the unit would take steps to make sure they don’t engage in any conflict at the event.

He said the presence of the gang enforcement unit has so far been enough to stop incidents from occurring.

CFSCU BC has about 400 members. There are different units within the CFSCU. Six members of the unit were in Cranbrook over the weekend for the event.

Event created to offset rising costs Continued from page 1

As a result, there is a possibility that government funding will cover less than 10 hours a week.

To make up the difference, Sims has created a fundraising cause: Art for Autism.

“The goal of our campaign is to raise enough money to offset these rising costs, and have all the kids keep the hours they have, and continue to progress and thrive,” said Brandy.

Art for Autism’s first fundraiser will be held on Saturday, June 22 at 10 a.m. in Baker Park in Cranbrook.

With help from sponsors Exhale Yoga

& Movement Studio and Just Music, the event will be a beginners yoga class out in the open.

Enrolment in the class is by donation to Art for Autism.

“The class is family friendly, and fun for all ages,” said Brandy.

“We are really hoping for a great turn out for this event, so come on, Cranbrook, and support these amazing kids.”

The campaign’s major event will be held in October. At the Art for Autism Gala, artwork by local artists will be on show and up for auction.

What’s more, the

big ticket item will be artwork created by students in the Behaviour Intervention Program with therapists and local artists.

“These works are going to be phenomenal, and there are a very limited number of these available,” said Brandy.

Local Filipino community gets set to celebrate Bar ry Co ulter

Last year, Mayor Wayne Stetski proclaimed June 12 as Philippine Independence Day in the City of Cranbrook. The proclamation was held at the City Hall on the 114th anniversary of Philippine Independence. Cranbrook

thus became the second city in B.C.— and the first outside Vancouver — to mark Philippine Independence, in recognition of the contributions Filipino-Canadians have made to the community.

This year, the Filipino-Canadian Associa-

tion of the East Kootenay is celebrating its 115th Philippine Independence Day on Saturday, June 8, 2013, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rotary Park in Cranbrook.

Organizers say it will be the first ever such celebration in the East Kootenay.

Kilogram of pot seized Continued from page 3

“The subjects were arrested and a search of the vehicle conducted.”

That search led to the kilogram of marijuana as well as cash and drug-related items. Two males from Edmonton, ages 23 and 24, were arrested and will face charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking. They were released on a $1,000 bail for court in August.

Newel says it is not unusual to see a vehicle try to avoid the road check. In fact, there are generally one to two vehicles who attempt it each time a road check is set up.

“Officers will generally break off from the check and stop the vehicle,” he said. “It depends on traffic flow, police vehicle positions, what the officers are dealing with at the time, but we are constantly watching traffic flow for our own safety, so they are usually spotted very quickly.”

“The objective of the celebration is to bring the message of love and unity,” said Lourdes Butalid. “No matter what our differences are — opinion, belief, race, gender, etc., — we can still come together for a common goal, to love one another.

Butalid said the association would like to become the catalyst of love and unity for everyone in the East Kootenay.

Butalid said the celebration will showcase the Filipino culture and tradition: Filipino cultural dances like Sinulog (a welcoming ceremony which was further influenced by the arrival of Spaniards in the Philippines) and Tinikling (the national dance), Filipino national costumes, Original Pilipino Music and Filipino food and games.

There will be a live band by the Music Ministry of

Couples for Christ from Calgary.

Butalid said participants will be coming from Cranbrook, Fernie, and Calgary. “Guests will have the opportunity to have their picture taken with our so-called ‘Imelda Marcos’ and her ‘shoes; Jose Rizal — our national hero; Ferdinand Magellan who discovered the Philippines on March 16, 1521, and introduced Christianity; and Lapu-

Lapu who killed Magellan during the Battle of Mactan.”

Personalized invitations have been sent to the City Officials of Cranbrook, Creston, Kimberley, Fernie, Elkford, Sparwood, Golden, and Radium Hot Springs. Consul General Jose Ampeso of the Philippine Consulate in Vancouver has also been invited, and the general public is welcome.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3769, 2013”.

Dandelion Capital Forget the Kimberley Branding Exercise.

Let’s declare Kimberley the “Dandelion Capital of Canada.”

Our civic flower would seem to be that beautiful yellow flower which turns to fields of white. We seem to love them; they are everywhere.

Our downtown hotel and the post office both grow them, right at our main intersection.

We use them to add colour around our sidewalk trees. They help animate the Platzl.

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Most of our lawns have become agricultural plots to produce as many dandelions as possible. Obviously, we’re all going green, saving lots of money on lettuce and eating those lovely big green dandelion leaves in our salads! Why else grow so many?

If you find a really lovely bunch, take some to your mom, just like you did when you were a little kid!

If you want to observe how to increase your crop, just watch our civic green areas. We don’t cut the grass frequently and let the flowers grow a foot tall, till they turn white. Then our agricultural folks who drive the white trucks show up with their weed whackers to blow the seeds everywhere; they do a far better job at seed distribution than the wind. Next year should be even better.

Kimberley: Dandelion Capital of Canada! Tourists will visit from everywhere!

Drumbeats along the Nile

A

ll students of geopolitics are familiar with the legend that Egypt has privately warned all the governments upstream on the Nile that it will start bombing if they build dams on the river without its permission. The truth of that story is about to be tested.

Last month Ethiopia started diverting the waters of the Blue Nile in order to build the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a $4.7 billion, 6,000-megawatt hydroelectric project that is the centrepiece of the country’s plan to become Africa’s largest exporter of power. Egypt instantly objected. “We have a strong legal case to insist that our share of the Nile water is preserved,” said an anonymous government source — but he didn’t mention bombers.

Egypt depends utterly on irrigation water from the Nile to grow its food. Even now there is not enough (it already imports almost 40 per cent of its food), and Egypt’s population is still growing fast. If the amount of water coming down the Nile diminishes appreciably, Egyptians will go hungry.

A treaty signed in 1929 gave 90 per cent of the Nile’s water to the downstream countries, Egypt and Sudan, even though all the water in the river starts as rain in the upstream countries: Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. It seemed fair at the time: the 20 million people in the downstream countries depended heavily on irrigation, while the 27 million in the upstream countries had plenty of rain-fed land and hardly irrigated at all.

Things have changed since then. According to the International Data Base of the US Census Bureau, there are now six times as many people in the Arabic-speaking countries downstream, and eight times as many people in the African countries upstream. Egypt is using

all of its share of the water — and the upstream countries are starting to use the water for irrigation too.

The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is the first real test of Egypt’s tolerance for upstream dam-building. The reservoir will take 63 million cubic metres of water to fill; Egypt’s annual share of the Nile’s water is 55.5 million cubic metres. So even if Ethiopia takes five years to fill the reservoir, that will mean 20 per cent cuts in the water Egypt receives from the Nile for five years. And even after that there will be a large annual loss to evaporation.

This dam is just the start. Ethiopia plans to Gwynne spend a total of $12 billion on dams on the Blue Dyer Nile for electricity and irrigation, and Uganda is negotiating with China for financing for a 600-megawatt dam on the White Nile.

More dams and irrigation projects will follow — and the upstream states are in no mood to let Egypt exercise its veto under the 1929 treaty.

That treaty was imposed when all the countries involved except Ethiopia were under British rule, and it reflected Britain’s big investment in Egypt. In 2010 six upstream countries (including Burundi and Rwanda) signed a Cooperative Framework Agreement to seek more water from the Nile, effectively rejecting the colonial-era treaty and demanding that Egypt relinquish its veto and accept a lower water quota.

That’s not going to happen. Mohammed Allam, Egypt’s minister of water resources under President Hosni Mubarak when the upstream states signed their agreement three years ago, warned that “Egypt reserves the right to take whatever course it sees suitable to safeguard its share.”

His country sees the matter as a national security issue, Mohammed Allam

Letters to the Editor

Re: May 2013 BC Election Now that the election is over in British Columbia, I have some questions.

Did Elections BC fail to employ any of the young applicants (20-34) in Cranbrook during the May 2013 election?

Elections BC encourages you to bring your children with you when you vote. (‘Show tomorrow’s voters how our electoral process works:’ Kootenay News Advertiser, Friday, May 10, 2013 — General Election full page advertisement).

Did the children see young adults involved in the electoral process? No. Mature adult employees (ages 40-75) appeared to be well represented at the polling stations. Young employees (ages 20-34) were not visible at the tables during the recent election. It was very disappointing to see unemployed young adults denied the experience and the access to income provided by Elections BC. It was inexcusable that they were excluded.

We need to show tomorrow’s voters

said: “Egypt’s share of the Nile’s water is a historic right that Egypt has defended throughout its history.” The post-revolutionary Egyptian government under President Mohammed Morsi cannot afford to be less firm in defending Egypt’s interests.

The issue will probably be kicked down the road for a couple of years, because the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will not be completed until 2015 at the earliest. But there is big trouble for Egypt (and Sudan) further down the road.

By 2025, a dozen years from now, Egypt will be trying to feed 96 million people, which would be very hard even with its existing giant’s share of the Nile’s water and all its current food imports.

The countries that signed the Cooperative Framework Agreement will have 300 million people, so by then they will also be extracting very large amounts of water from the Nile Basin for irrigation.

Without that water, Egypt’s only options are beggaring itself with massive food imports (until the foreign exchange runs out altogether), or famine. Unless, of course, it decides on war — but its options are not very good on that front either.

Not only are the upstream countries a very long way from Egypt (the Nile is the world’s longest river), but they will have strong support from China, which is financing most of the dams they are now building or planning.

Egypt, by contrast, has repudiated its former American ally, and may find that the U.S. is reluctant to re-engage even if the government in Cairo can overcome its own distaste for Washington. Why would the United States want a confrontation with China over Egypt?

So there probably won’t be a war. And Egypt will probably face an apocalyptic food shortage in ten or fifteen years.

Enbridge pipeline isn’t dead yet One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.

Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa.

In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no

circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more BC VIEWS study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake Tom said. “Our government does Fletcher not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over.

The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.

In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow.

Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years?

Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Bruins beat Penguins, take 2-0 lead in conference finals PITTSBURGH - Boston strong indeed.

Brad Marchand scored twice during a four-goal first period and the Boston Bruins routed the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-1 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.

David Krejci, Nathan Horton, Patrice Bergeron and Johnny Boychuk also scored for Boston, which hardly broke a sweat while going up 2-0 in the bestof-seven series. Tuukka Rask kept Sidney Crosby and the rest of the NHL’s top offence in check once again, stopping 26 shots.

Game 3 is Wednesday night in Boston.

Brandon Sutter netted Pittsburgh’s lone goal.

Tomas Vokoun gave up three first-period goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury.

Jason Kidd retiring from NBA after 19 seasons NEW YORK - The New York Knicks say Jason Kidd has decided to retire from the NBA after 19 seasons.

Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in league history but struggled in the playoffs shortly after turning 40. He had two years left on the deal he signed last summer.

Kidd won an NBA title and two Olympic gold medals and is second on the career list in assists and steals. He was a 10-time All-Star.

His retirement Monday comes two days after fellow 40-year-old Grant Hill, with whom Kidd shared Rookie of the Year honours in 1995, announced his retirement.

Sharapova returns to French Open quarterfinals

PARIS - Defending champion Maria Sharapova returned to the French Open quarterfinals by beating 17th-seeded Sloane Stephens of the United States 6-4, 6-3 Monday.

The second-seeded Sharapova handled Stephens’ strong serve well, accumulating 12 break points and converting eight.

In 2012, Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam at the French Open, adding that trophy to ones from Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S. Open in 2006 and the Australian Open in 2008.

Sharapova has won all eight sets she’s played so far this year at Roland Garros and will face No. 18 Jelena Jankovic or 54th-ranked Jamie Hampton in the quarterfinals.

Canadiens goaltender coach Groulx won’t return to team MONTREAL - Goaltender coach Pierre Groulx will not return to the Montreal Canadiens next season.

The NHL club announced Monday it will not renew Groulx’s contract, but gave no reason for the move.

Groulx, who previously worked for the Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators, had been Montreal’s goalie coach since July 6, 2009.

He was the only member of the coaching staff kept on when Michel Therrien was named head coach for the 2012-13 season.

Montreal’s goaltending tandem of Carey Price and backup Peter Budaj did well until late in the regular season when Price was pulled from back-toback starts. He went 2-6-0 in his last eight appearances, allowing 27 goals.

Clouston back in the WHL with Raiders TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Cory Clouston is back in the WHL. The former Kootenay Ice assistant coach and bench boss has signed a two-year contract with the Prince Albert Raiders, as the club introduced their new head coach on Monday afternoon.

Clouston takes over from Steve Young, who was fired at the end of April by the Raiders GM Bruno Campese following an early playoff exit.

“We are excited to have Cory join our team,” said Campese, in a press release. “He brings experience from different levels and has a proven track record of winning.

Cory’s work ethic is second to none and very disciplined in his approach.”

Clouston has extensive experience in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice and the Brandon Wheat Kings, starting in Cranbrook as an assistant coach to Ryan McGill in 1999.

Two years later, he took over the head coaching job when McGill went pro in the AHL. In five years, Clouston took the Ice to the WHL conference finals and became the winningest coach in franchise history, however, McGill, back for his second tenure, has caught up to and tied his record of 209 wins.

Clouston took WHL coach of the year honours in 2004-5 and 200607, and captured the CHL version of the award the first time around.

Clouston graduated to the AHL in 2008-09, and coached the Binghampton Senators before moving up to their parent club in the NHL for two years in Ottawa.

He’s also made his mark in international hockey, winning a gold medal with Team Canada in the 2005 U18 World Championships, and earning the same hardware the following year as a head coach.

“I am very excited to join the Raider organization,” said Clouston. “I look forward to getting to

Heat into NBA finals, beat Pacers in Game 7 TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press

MIAMI - Their season, their legacy, their reign atop the NBA was all at stake, and the Miami Heat responded in a manner befitting defending champions - with a blowout.

LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his post-season high

with 21 points, and the Heat ran away from the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.

The Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs for the NBA title in a series that starts Thursday in Miami.

Miami led by as many as 28 points, a shocking amount for a series that had an aggregate

score of Heat 569, Pacers 564 entering Monday night. The Heat actually trailed by six in the early going, were still down 21-19 after the first quarter and it was starting to look like it was going to be one of those down-to-the-wire nights.

Not even close.

James exited with 5:08 left, shaking retired soccer star

David Beckham’s hand as he made his way to the Heat bench for a relatively subdued celebration. Not long afterward, security personnel started what’s become a familiar task in Miami - surrounding the court and stretching out a yellow rope, preparing to hold people at bay for the looming on-court trophy presentation.

Self Help

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your concern is not only about your finances, but also whether you have the power and strength that is necessary to make a difference. You might be concerned about the outcome of a certain situation. Initiate a conversation in the morning.

Tonight: Happily head home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be dragging in the morning, but by afternoon you’ll start to feel your Wheaties. You’ll feel empowered, and you won’t hesitate to discuss an idea. If someone is negative, be resilient and refuse to take on his or her energy. Tonight: Be where you want to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It is likely that you need to head in a new direction. Many of you will see this fact clearly during the day, and some will see it at night. The end results will be the same. The longer it takes, the surer you can be that you are wearing rose-colored shades.

Tonight: Do for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a decision more carefully. A discussion could shed some light on the potential problem. Do not necessarily count on your idea or resolution being the best one.

Be receptive to someone who has expertise in these matters.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make time for a discussion with an expert on an issue you are dealing with. In the afternoon, you’ll need to listen to someone who demands your time and attention. You also might decide to distance yourself from an unpleasant situation. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to evolve to a new level of understanding when dealing with a partner and a financial matter. You have the control you desire. Be aware of your limits with someone you care a lot about. The afternoon provides solutions where there previously were none. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

Others will want to call the shots, but you could have a lot to share. You’ll command their attention. No decisions can be made without your “OK.” Claim your power, and people will be more than willing to listen to your side of the scenario. Tonight: A loved one makes you smile.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to what is being shared, and know that you might not like everything you hear. Your version of what is possible could change. Honor your needs more openly than you have in the recent past. A friend wants to help you lighten up. Tonight: Share, if it would make it easier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity soars. You laugh and see life from a new perspective. How you handle someone could radically change because of what you now know. Fatigue plays into your mood late afternoon. Tonight: Just for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel pressured by a personal issue. Your ability to break down barriers now will

directly affect your ability to relax later. Your lighter side could emerge. A misunderstanding or a difficult meeting could leave you feeling off. Tonight: Your creativity flourishes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get busy, make phone calls and schedule meetings. Keep conversations moving, and understand that there could be a difference of opinion among those around you. By afternoon, you might want to play the role of recluse, as you have so much to do. Tonight: Happy at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be extremely tired and withdrawn, especially with a demanding associate or family member. Avoid taking any financial risks, and you will be happier as a result. Later today, conversations will run more smoothly than in the recent past. Tonight: Chat the night away.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was overweight throughout most of my childhood and became morbidly obese after high school. When I was in college, I had terrible self-esteem and a horrible body image. I never dated.

Three years ago, I had gastric bypass and have since lost more than 200 pounds. I’ve been trying to start dating, but the individuals I have approached are either seeing someone else or are not interested. I tried online dating sites, but the men who responded all live far away, some in other countries, and I’m leery of proceeding. I am not sure about the bar scene and am unaware of any singles groups in my area.

So, I guess I would like some advice on how and where to start relationships. -- Breaking Out of My Shell Dear Breaking: There are better online dating sites that will match you up with men in your area (or at least in the same country).

Try again. You also should ask your friends and relatives to introduce you to available men they know. Local churches and synagogues often have singles groups, and you should be able to attend some functions without having to be a member. Most importantly, project a confident, positive exterior. Smile. Guys like women who are fun to talk to. And while you are searching for a date, participate in activities that interest you. This will have the added benefit of making you more interesting to be around. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I have a beautiful granddaughter who is getting married in June.

However, I am not invited to the wedding.

I’ve been told they are keeping it really small because of the size of the facility. But I found out there will be about 20 guests. I’m invited to the reception, and I’ve already been told what gift my granddaughter wants as a wedding present. It’s quite pricey.

I thought I had a good relationship with my grandkids. But sometimes it seems I’m only needed when they want expensive things.

Should I keep quiet about this hurt? I’m not sure I can go to the reception, and that may cause a larger distance between us. -- Upset Grandmother Dear Upset: Of course, we would hope the bride would want her grandmother to be at the wedding, but let’s not jump to conclusions. A ceremony with 20 guests is exceedingly small and also includes members of the groom’s immediate family, of whom there may be many. If you can possibly attend the reception, it would be lovely. Either way, you are under no obligation to purchase an expensive wedding present simply because your granddaughter asked for one.

Dear Annie: It was amazing and heartwarming to read stories of grandparents being reunited with their grandchildren after so many years of estrangement.

What bothers me about these letters, however, is that they are one-sided. Fifteen years ago, I parted ways with my family when I hung up on my father. I didn’t find the humor in his jokes about the lifelong physical and mental abuse I suffered at the hands of my mother.

Since then, my parents have not contacted me, and I have not contacted them. Meanwhile, I have received letters and cards from family members telling me to change my evil ways and let my parents into my life. I have run into people who lecture me about my rude behavior. I know about the commandment to honor my mother and father, but honestly, I am much happier not having my parents or their abuse in my life. This is not the way I would have chosen to live, and it saddens me that I am made to be the villain in a situation where it takes two to tango. -Family-Free from Wisconsin Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
