Students in the sports school at Selkirk Secondary in Kimberley hit the North Star Rails to Trails on Tuesday morning in a fundraiser for Jenna Homeniuk, as part of the Bring Jenna Home campaign. The group collected close to $3,000 in pledges to run and bike the 25-kilometre trail that connects Cranbrook to Kimberley. For every two students, there was one bike, which allowed them to switch on and off at various points. Donations for Homeniuk, who is battling cancer, can be made at Kootenay Savings in Kimberley.

It’s time to get out those new tennis rackets and balls because Cranbrook has sparkling new renovated tennis courts to play on. On Tuesday, representatives from School District 5, the City of Cranbrook and others involved in the project, were at the Mount Baker tennis courts to celebrate the grand opening.

The tennis courts are owned by the school district and operated under a joint use agreement between the school district and the city. The city administers the rentals on behalf of the school district.

Before the refurbishment, the court surfaces were crack-

ing and buckling, which presented safety issues for users.

Sean Whalen, Mount Baker Secondary School teacher, and his 2008/2009 entrepreneur class began the push to renovate the courts, raising around $3,800 for the project through fundraising including a bottle drive, talent shows and a sports clinic. Whalen also secured a $1,200 donation from the Cranbrook Tennis Club and later approached the school board and the city to propose reconstruction or replacement of the tennis courts.

School board chair Frank Lento said the district was impressed by the students’ efforts and the support they received

in the community.

“We looked at Sean’s proposal and determined reconstruction made the most sense in its present location, also taking into account the future rebuild location of a Mount Baker replacement,” said Frank Lento. “But we couldn’t do it alone. In these tough economic times it takes a community to raise a high school – and the City of Cranbrook was right there to help us out.”

The school board and the city agreed to partner on the reconstruction project in 2012, sharing the reconstruction costs equally. The city provided project management services.

The final cost of the project was

$355,000. The project was also successful in securing funding of $50,000 through the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Grant.

“The City of Cranbrook was pleased to partner with School District 5 to make this happen,” Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski said.

“There were significant costs involved to do this project right but the result is tennis and pickle ball courts that will be with us for many years. Ensuring that there are a variety of recreational facilities that encourage healthy activities is important to me as mayor and to council, and they contribute to our quality of life.”

Board approves grants, signs transit agreements Submitted

Application To Be Submitted For Fuel Treatments B.A. Blackwell and Associates Ltd. will submit an application to the Union of BC Municipalities for funding to complete operational fuel treatments in the Baynes Lake area. If funding is received, the project would include fuel reduction work on a total of 52.1 hectares of Crown Land around Baynes Lake that have been identified as having a moderate to high priority in the RDEK’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

Transit Agreements Signed The Chair and CAO have

signed the Annual Operating Agreement with BC Transit and Olympus Stage Lines for the operation of the Columbia Valley transit system for a one-year term ending March 31, 2014.

The Annual Operating Agreement between the RDEK, BC Transit and Sun City Coachlines for the operation of the Elk Valley transit system through March 31, 2014 was also signed.

Koocanusa OCP Implementation The RDEK will be writing a letter to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to request that a multi-agency meeting be

scheduled with the RDEK and Columbia Basin Trust to discuss Crown land management and planning in the Koocanusa area. One of the key issues emerging from the recent adoption of the RDEK’s Lake Koocanusa OCP is the public’s interest in additional planning around the reservoir, particularly with respect to off-road vehicle use and informal camping on Crown land. The Board has decided to step up its advocacy for additional provincial resources to address these issues and Columbia Basin Trust has expressed an interest in supporting those efforts.

20-Year Service Award Building Inspector Dick Barrett was presented with a 20-Year Service Award. Dick works out of the Columbia Valley office.

District Lot 48 The Board gave Bylaws No. 2471 and 2472 first and second reading and authorized a public hearing. If adopted, the bylaws will recognize District Lot 48, located on the east side of Columbia Lake, as a conservation property and help preserve the area’s cultural, ecological and recreational values. A public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on June 27 at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.

Under Pressure: Part Three

How much water is leaking from our pipes?

This four-part feature series explains the problems with Cranbrook’s pipes. In the third article, we find out how much water is used in Cranbrook, how much is lost to leaks, and how the city is working hard to find those leaks and do something about it S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

I am taking a closer look at Cranbrook’s water system with Director of Public Works Joe McGowan. We started at Phillips Reservoir, where our water is stored before being sent to homes and businesses.

Then we visited some of the 13 pressure-reducing stations in the city that make it safe to turn on our taps.

Most recently, we drove around Cranbrook, visiting areas where our pipes are in the worst shape, parts of town that Joe likened to a popcorn popper because of all the ruptures.

Now, Joe is telling me what the city is doing to find all of the problem areas and start the process of reducing the leaks.

Each of the 19,125 people in Cranbrook uses 387 litres a day. Last year, Cranbrook as a whole used 4,402 mega litres of water.

Each year, Cranbrook performs a water audit. An audit report presented in February found that in 2012, Cranbrook lost four times as much water due to leakage as it would if the water distribution system was in good shape.

Statistics gathered across the developed world indicate that each time a water main bursts, it takes on average six days to re-

pair, allowing time to learn there’s a leak, to find the leak, and repair the leak. In those six days, 576 cubic metres of water will leak out.

The same survey indicates that if it’s a service pipe from the main to the home, it takes longer to repair: 60 days to learn about the leak, 14 days to locate it, and one day to repair. In that time, 720 cubic metres of water will be lost.

Even if the pipes were brand new, we would still lose water. Every water system loses 10 per cent of the water that passes through it, Joe explains.

“No matter how well you install a water system, you are going to lose about 10 per cent. You can never overcome that on a big system. Nothing is perfect – it’s unavoidable.

“The water loss above that is what we are going after – the unaccountable.

That’s the stuff that disappears and we don’t know where it is going.”

It might seem that Cranbrook is losing vast quantities of water, but compared to other communities in the Kootenays it’s about average.

According to Columbia Basin Trust, in 2009 more than 40 per cent of all the water produced in the Kootenays was lost, equating to

5,037 Olympic sized swimming pools every year.

Compared to Cranbrook, which loses 33 per cent of its water to leakage, Fernie and Kimberley lose more than 70 per cent of their water, Sparwood about 60 per cent and Elkford 56 per cent.

To help combat the problem, Columbia Basin Trust launched a WaterSmart initiative, where mu-

nicipalities sign on to reduce water consumption by 20 per cent by 2015.

Cranbrook signed on in March 2010, and is taking several steps to reduce the amount of water escaping from our system.

“If something is going to break, it’s going to break at the weakest point,” says Joe. “The question is: what can we do to maintain the quality we have and extend its

life span?

“We are identifying the points in the city’s water distribution system that are most susceptible to failure.”

The city is partnering with four companies with niche experience to scour the water system, looking for problem areas.

There are eight steps to take to reduce the amount of water Cranbrook loses.

First is the water audit,

which tells the city how much water should be used, and how much is being lost. Next, utilities crews conduct visual surveys to look for obvious signs of leakage, such as water showing up on a road, yard or ditch.

Then they start breaking the city down area by area.

“We determine how much water goes in and how much water comes out of a defined area between 2 and 4 a.m.,” says Joe, adding that the time frame is chosen because fewer people are using water then.

“We look at how much is being used versus how much should be used based on the number of properties in that zone. That tells you in relative terms where you are losing water.”

When they find an area that is losing more water than expected, the area is broken down again and again until they can isolate a small area that is losing a significant amount of water.

“Now that we have identified a bad area, we put a meter there permanently and watch it,” says Joe. Check out Thursday’s Townsman for the fourth and final part of “Under Pressure”, where we look at a simple but clever way the city is decreasing the amount of water leaking from our pipes.

SD5 revises sexual orientation policy It’s a living document, says director of instruction, as school district strives to celebrate diversity

S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

School District 5 continues to improve its policy on sexual orientation and gender identity.

At last month’s board meeting, School District 5 (SD5) trustees approved revisions to the policy.

“The revisions were around terminology more than anything,” said Doug McPhee, SD5’s Director of Instruction, “terms that people are becoming more comfortable with, that better describe how they see themselves.”

It’s only the latest in a

long process towards a more respectful approach to sexual orientation and gender identity, according to McPhee.

“I wouldn’t purport to say we know everything that we need to know about sexual orientation at this point in time, but as we are progressing along this, we’re most certainly in a learning process,” he said.

“The policy that was developed a few years ago is a living document.

“The meat of the whole thing is that we need to provide some in-service to schools so that everyone is

aware of our rights and responsibilities under human rights legislation with respect to the rights of all individuals including those with differing sexual orientations or genders.”

This week, retired teacher Earl Waugh will hold a workshop with counsellors from SD5’s schools with guidelines that will then be passed on to the faculty at each of the schools.

McPhee said that it’s important that children are taught to celebrate diversity.

“Kids will reflect what they’ve learnt and what they see. They learn things from

their parents, from TV, from each other. We need to make sure that the pictures they have are healthy ones and respectful ones. Sometimes the information they come with is better than the information we have, and sometimes we need to work on that,” he said.

While it is a process, McPhee said he can see progress.

“It isn’t solved by any stretch of the imagination but I’ve seen some real positive growth in the past 10 years.

“I wouldn’t be so bold to say that harassment or bul-

lying doesn’t occur because of gender identity or sexual orientation; it most certainly does. We still need to work actively on that and make

sure kids are appropriately informed and treating everyone with respect, and adults in the same way,” said McPhee.

Council debates intersection Continued from page 1

The area in question is home to the Cranbrook Wellness Centre, as well as apartment blocks, houses and duplexes. 1st Avenue is the neighbourhood’s convenient entrance and exit on to Victoria Avenue. To enter the neighbourhood from the other side, one must wind one’s way through the hospital grounds or past the RDEK offices.

“I noticed right away there were safety concerns, because of the positioning of the wall,” Kostiuk said.

Kostiuk spoke with then-Mayor Scott Manjak about the issue, but nothing ever came of it.

He has since taken several city councillors, residents and even a representative of Worksafe BC on a tour of the intersection, and had a meeting with Mayor Wayne Stetski.

He has also circulated a petition amongst the residences and employees of the Wellness Centre, and brought in Engineer Elmer Higgins to create a mock-up of how the intersection could be fixed.

The trouble, Kostiuk says, is the retaining wall that runs from near the McPherson Funeral Home to the 1st Avenue intersection. Its height and positioning, the curve of Victoria Avenue and the presence of the Rotary Way path have led to Kostiuk and others having several close calls with oncoming bike and vehicular traffic.

“They can’t see you, and you can’t see them,” he said.

Kostiuk says the solution would be simple and fairly inexpensive. The plan would be to remove some of the gravel behind the retaining wall, then just drop the wall by a few rows of bricks.

Kostiuk said Higgins is working on an engineered plan to present to the city.

At Monday night’s city council meeting, Coun.

Sharon Cross said she went and drove through the intersection at Kostiuk’s request.

“If there was a cyclist or boarder, I wouldn’t have been able to see them,”

250-426-5201

Cross said. “There are some concerns, and given the number of people that are expressing concerns, I think that something could be done.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that the concerns had been passed over to the Cranbrook in Motion committee three times, and each time the committee had found no cause for safety concern.

Stetski said Kostiuk had outlined three things he is pursuing. One is a WCB inspection report, the second is a report from an engineer that says the wall is not preventing slides and third, he is asking for funding to lower the wall.

“I think the people of Cranbrook should keep in mind that when committees come back with recommendations like that, that’s a consensus of the committee,” said Coun. Gerry Warner, a member of the Cranbrook in Motion committee.

“In the case of this intersection here at 1st and Victoria, I’m a member of the committee and I don’t share that consensus. But it’s majority rules.”

Coun. Denise Pallesen noted that she is also on the Cranbrook in Motion committee.

“It’s like a number of other intersections around the world where you have to stop at the stop sign and then you move forward when it is safe to do so,” she said. “If your line of vision is hampered in any way, you have to keep going out until you can see.”

Pallesen said the committee had discussions with ICBC, the RCMP and an engineer and they all feel the same way.

“It’s less than a stellar intersection but it’s not that bad,” she said.

Coun. Bob Whetham said the issue is caused by fast-moving skateboards and bicycles on the sidewalk.

“We have to remember that those facilities are really not designed as sporting facilities, they’re really for pedestrian movement,” Whetham said.

Aasebo new Youth Liaison for the Cranbrook Project Continued from page 1 “I truly believe youth are our biggest natural resource,” Lisa said. “I get way more out of them than I feel I’m giving to them.”

Now Lisa will work with the youth community to create six fun events throughout the next 12 months, starting with a kick-off celebration in September.

She will discover which places are youth friendly and which are not, as well as getting in touch with youth service providers.

“The kids I meet here blow my mind; they are so welcoming and good to each other,” Lisa said.

She plans to organize a variety of events, from fun activities to workshops on getting involved in the community.

“We’re trying to hit all different demographics and make sure there is something for everybody,” Lisa said.

Originally from Vancouver, Lisa has been in and out of the East Kootenay for the past six years.

After training in theatre at Capilano University, Lisa began performing at Fort Steele Heritage Town. She spent another year with Kimberley Summer Theatre,

before returning to Fort Steele to run its theatre program.

What’s more, she has been working with youth for the past 15 years in the lower mainland through positions with the Boys and Girls Club, recreation centre programs and the YMCA. “It was hard to hire for this position because we had a lot of amazing applications,” said Dana Osiowy, a member of the Project Advisory Committee. “Lisa had the values of our team down: opening up opportunities for young people, making sure projects are youth led, and being in touch with a

network of young people.”

Now Lisa is looking forward to hearing some great ideas from Cranbrook’s youth community.

“I’m fortunate to have worked with a lot of young people through Fort Steele and other opportunities I’ve had to meet kids. Now I’m excited to meet more of them,” Lisa said.

The Cranbrook Project will have a booth set up this weekend at the Sam Steele Days fairgrounds.

“People are welcome to stop by and start leaving ideas, and I’ll get to meet them,” Lisa said.

B.C. Cabinet order raises staff salaries Tom Fle tcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The NDP opposition came out swinging Tuesday, releasing cabinet orders that allow for large pay increases for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office.

Cabinet orders dated June 3 provide for an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff, from $195,148 to $230,000 per year. The orders provide for a salary range, so the salary currently paid to Clark’s chief of staff, Dan Doyle, is not known.

Another order provides for Clark’s new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148.

Cadario, deputy campaign manager in the B.C. Liberals’ successful election campaign, replaces Kim Haakstad, who resigned before the election over improper political activities in the party’s ethnic outreach strategy.

NDP MLA John Horgan said the move is particularly inappropriate as the govern-

ment prepares to comb its operations for cost savings to meet its balanced budget target.

“It certainly seems to me that the first day cabinet meets, their priority is not the people of British Columbia, it’s their political pals,” Horgan said. “In the case of the deputy chief of staff, yesterday this individual would have been paid $144,000 a year. Today that position is $195,000. Nice work if you can get it.”

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the increases reflect new positions and additional responsibilities, and don’t mean extra costs for taxpayers.

The extra money is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same,” de Jong said.

Among those new positions is the promotion of some ministerial assistants to “chiefs of staff” within each government ministry, making them responsible for other staff in each minister’s office.

Journey of the Immigrants: Part III Writer’s rediscovered correspondence describes new life in Canada to friends back in Britain Prince George, DECEMBER 1956.

Merry Christmas.

The Canadians here seem to be so very busy being civilized that they seldom go into the ‘bush’. Loggers (lumberjacks) of course work in the forests but, otherwise, people stay in town and enjoy the comforts of cars, houses and (some) paved streets.

Even when Jimmy and I try to walk somewhere, someone will pick us up and give us a ride.

We have, however, discovered some English fellows who, like us, came here for the mountains. We go off at weekends and get into all sorts of trouble with them, exploring, horse riding, messing about in other people’s boats and driving miles north on dirt roads to the nearest Rockies at Pine Pass.

The grizzly bear tracks are huge and the moose that stand on the roads in the Fall (Autumn) are monsters. Our landlord Jack tooted his horn at one and it charged, ruining feet of shiny chrome.

We now own a V.W. Bug with very little chrome, but it gets us into all sorts of places. It even floats (a necessary feature for crossing the lakes on the highway in spring).

We had another Teachers’ Convention this ‘Fall’ and it was a riot. Last year, as novices and recent arrivals, we were well behaved but this year I got caught up in the

novelty of things.

Poor Jimmy, still recovering from a balance beam falling on her in the gym, went diligently to all the meetings. She enjoyed talking to other P.E. teachers and swapping ideas. I, on the other hand, have taken up hunting and so, on the day, I was up at dawn and off in the ‘bush’ looking for moose. About ten o’clock, we mighty hunters, still sporting hunting clothes and ammunition belts, checked into the convention then immediately took off again.

Having read Grey Owl’s books, I have got all romantic about the idea Peter of the Canadian ‘bush’ Warland and so, with a trusty (borrowed) Remington rifle and knee-high, felt-lined moccasins, I was off. I wasn’t going to freeze my feet this year. However, I can’t work out how the Indians walked in moccasins and so, in the snow and on slopes, I spend a great amount of time with my feet in the air.

Eric, a fellow from Blackpool, was attempting to load his gun in several feet of fresh snow when he managed to shoot himself in the foot. We had an awful time getting him out of the bush, into a car and down the road to hospital.

I nearly ended up in hospital when I helped a friend ‘pack’ a moose out of the ‘bush’. The animal was huge and even one quarter on my back caused me a lot of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

grief. Grey Owl, in his books, never mentioned the misery of the hours of labour after a kill.

The night of the Teachers’ Convention was lively. One Inspector of Schools, addressing me as Peter, told me that he invariably comes to conventions at P.G. because of the wild parties. I have never seen so many drunks and so many cars stuck, axle deep in snow, in ditches.

Canadians are very familiar with Christian (first) names. When Jimmy and I went for our interview in London two years ago, the Schools Inspector there called us Jean and Peter and so did our first head masters (principals). It was a bit of a shock after working for years in England with people who called each other Mr This, Miss and Mrs That.

Jimmy and I often invite our new-found English friends to dinner and Jim does us proud. She hasn’t yet found a female friend, who does the daft things we get up to, and the men are all bachelors. Apparently, ‘Prince’ is a bit of a wild place for single women, especially down-town on weekends, when the loggers come to town.

Last June, the head master (principal) asked the staff if anyone actually intended to stay another year. He said, almost pleading, “Please let me know.”

We are; we’re having fun and the money’s not bad.

Cheers, J. and P.

Bancks reflects on Flames debut, AHL season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Hockey season is well over for Marysville product Carter Bancks, and he isn’t all that happy about it.

If he could have his way, he’d rather be in the middle of a playoff run in the AHL with the Abbostford Heat. Unfortunately, the Heat fell shy of a playoff berth in the Western Conference, settling for a 12thplace finish in the 2013 campaign.

However, with the bitter comes the sweet, as Bancks was called up by his parent NHL club, the Calgary Flames, and made his debut in the show in Nashville against the Predators on April 23rd.

The Heat were heading to Oklahoma City for their final double-header of the season, when Bancks was notified that he had to pack up and join the Flames on their final road trip of the lockout-shortened schedule.

He met up with the NHL club and found out from head coach Bob Hartley after a team meeting and optional skate that not only would he play, but he’d be on the

starting lineup.

“Bob Hartley came up to me and said, ‘Carter, just so you know, we’re thrilled to get you in tonight and you’re going to be in the starting lineup,’” recalled Bancks.

“It was a real whirlwind of a day. I don’t remember much of it, I was pretty stressed out, but it was cool when he told me that and it was obviously, as they say, a dream come true. “…You’re looking around, [seeing] Shea Weber, guys like that out there, and you’re like, ‘Holy, this is the real deal, just don’t score on me first shift. Let me through a shift.’”

Bancks played a total of 12:33, getting just over a minute of special teams work on the penalty kill unit in a 4-3 loss to the Predators.

“I had a ton of fun,” Bancks continued.

“The first game, I had a lot

o f nerves and excitement and didn’t really know how it was going to go—I was just

Marysville native Carter Bancks is back in his hometown for a bit after a whirlwind season in minor professional hockey capped with his NHL debut with the Calgary Flames. hoping to get through the game and bring some energy.”

He donned the Flames crest again three days later in a contest against the Chicago Blackhawks, recording 16:49 worth of ice time with some more special teams work.

His second appearance in the show gave him all the more confidence that he could compete at the highest level.

“You kind of realize

that its still just hockey,” said Bancks. “Yeah, it’s bigger and it’s faster and things happen a little quicker, but at the same time, you’re playing with better guys that make better passes and are always in position.

“It was really fun, getting to do that.”

Though the NHL experience is arguably the highlight of his hockey career, Bancks still wishes things went a little better in Abbotsford after a promising start to the season.

The club had a strong

opening half that put them near the top of the AHL, however, some talent flowed back up to Calgary with the end of the lockout, and the team wasn’t able to replicate their earlier success.

“The first half of the year, we were winning games we probably didn’t deserve to,” said Bancks, “and in the second half we were playing a lot of games, but couldn’t manage to get points out of it so it’s disappointing to not make the playoffs there.”

Bancks has been with the Heat for the past three full seasons, where he has been moulded into a two-way centreman who is particularly effective on the penalty kill.

“This last year, I felt like I had a really good year,” said Bancks.

“Coach had a lot of confidence in me and I played a shutdown role, killed a lot of penalties, tried to be hard on the other team’s top players, played a lot in a lot of defensive zone face-offs.

“That’s kind of the role I’ve been shaped into and that I take a lot of pride in.”

A few familiar faces to Bancks have joined the Heat, some with a Kootenay Ice connection.

Bancks goes way back with former Ice captain Dustin Sylvester, as both battled for spots on elite U15 and U16 provincial teams, before going head-to-head against each other in the WHL, as the Marysville native got picked up by the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

Sylvester, who went undrafted by the NHL, has been with the Heat for the past two years

after earning a contract as a free agent in 2011.

Other Ice alumni include former captain Steve McCarthy, who briefly joined the team last season before being lured away by European professional hockey, and Max Reinhart, who made his rookie debut with both the Heat and the Flames.

In fact, regular Heat teammates like Reinhart and T.J. Brodie were already up in the NHL when Bancks got called up to the Flames.

“It made it a lot easier walking in the dressing room and knowing some guys,” he said. “…That made it easier, having some familiar faces and some guys to joke around with.”

As for now, Bancks is currently soaking up all the free time he can during a brief stay in Kimberley by spending some time with his family and hitting the golf course before the rivers open in the middle of June for some fly fishing. Then, it will be off to Calgary in a few weeks where he will start his off-season training in earnest.

Spurs bounce back, blow out Heat 113-77 QB Tebow makes it BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO - From big 3s to Big Three, the Spurs had it all in the NBA Finals’ raucous return to San Antonio.

Danny Green made seven of the Spurs’ finals-record 16 3-pointers, Tim Duncan had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs clobbered the Miami Heat 113-77 on Tuesday night to take 2-1 lead in the series.

Green scored 27 points and Gary Neal made six 3-pointers while scoring 24 as San Antonio went 16 of 32 from behind the arc, rolling to the third-biggest victory in finals history.

Duncan bounced back from his worst game ever in the finals, and the Spurs’ combination of fresh faces and old reliables in a raucous return to a city that hadn’t hosted a finals game since 1997.

The Spurs were as good as fans remembered in the old days, shutting down LeBron James until they had built a huge

lead late in the third quarter.

James finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, but missed 11 of his first 13 shots against the excellent defence of Kawhi Leonard, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Game 4 is Thursday here, where the Heat are 3-22 in the regular season and so far zero wins and one really bad beating in the post-season.

Duncan shot 3 of 13 for nine points, his worst performance ever in his 25 NBA Finals games, in the Heat’s 103-84 victory Sunday. Tony Parker wasn’t much better, shooting 5 of 14 and committing five turnovers, and Manu Ginobili admitted afterward the veteran trio had to play well for the Spurs to win.

They were fine, but the lesser-knowns were better.

Parker and Ginobili combined for 14 assists, but the bigger story was the guys who had never played on this stage before.

- Neal, who went undrafted

after playing for LaSalle and Towson, then playing overseas for three seasons in Italy, Spain and Turkey.

-Green, who had been cut multiple times - including by James’ Cavaliers - and now has the shot to stick.

-Leonard, the draft-night trade acquisition from San Diego State who played the NBA’s four-time MVP to a stalemate.

Mike Miller made all five 3-pointers and scored 15 points for the Heat, who broke open Sunday’s game and seized momentum in the series with a 33-5 run in the second half.

The Spurs seized it right back, improving to 18-7 in the finals, the best winning percentage of any team with 20 or more games.

A brief flurry by James had Miami within 15 after three quarters, but Neal, Green and Leonard combined on a 13-0 run to open the fourth, Green’s 3-pointer making it 91-63.

The NBA hadn’t made its way along San Antonio’s River Walk this late in the season since 1997, and fans couldn’t wait to have the Spurs back.

They sang and danced and clapped around the concourse and in their seats, as if their favourite rock band had returned for a concert.

And they were thrilled to see the Duncan they recognized from his first 24 finals appearances.

He got right on the board in this one, with a short jumper 20 seconds into the game. The Spurs, who had played from behind most of the series, had a 24-20 lead after making 11 of 18 shots in the first quarter.

The party played on all right, with a huge roar when Tracy McGrady, a former perennial All-Star now in his first finals appearance as a member of the Spurs’ bench, checked in midway through the fourth quarter.

He was scoreless with three assists.

official, signs with New England

ASSOC AITED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tim Tebow is joining the New England Patriots.

The high-profile quarterback, who spent one season mostly on the sidelines with the New York Jets, officially signed on Tuesday morning, as the Patriots opened up a threeday minicamp. The team made the announcement prior to coach Bill Belichick’s first interview session with the media on the field.

Tebow was waived by the Jets on April 29, one year after throwing a touchdown pass to win a playoff game in

overtime for the Denver Broncos.

The transaction was first reported Monday

by ESPN. According to the report, Tebow will play the role of quarterback, though he could be used at other spots if he makes the team. The Patriots have Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett at that position already, but they released quarterback Mike Kafka on Monday.

The 2007 winner of the Heisman Trophy while at Florida, Tebow was a 2010 first-round draft pick of the Broncos. He has 17 passing touchdowns and 12 rushing scores in his NFL career.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Let your wilder ideas float up into your consciousness. You might choose to jot them down, but share only one or two. Use your high energy and business acumen to push a project forward. A new friend or potential suitor could enter your life. Tonight: Pretend that it’s Friday!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might want to revise your plans. A domestic matter takes priority, which could result in additional spending. Listen to different takes on the issue before making a decision. Costs could play a large role in your choice, but just go with your sixth sense. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Recognize your goals, and make a plan for how to achieve them.

Remain sensitive to an unpredictable friend, as he or she could give you some powerful feedback. Listen, even if you would prefer not to. Both of you have the same interests in mind.

Tonight: Hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to forthcoming news that has the potential to change a financial issue. Your intuition will tell you what you need to do in order to maximize the situation.

Honor what is going on between you and a boss or an older relative. Tonight: It just gets better and better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not realize how much you can accomplish when you hit your power days. A friend could push you to act on something that is very important to you. Recognize your limits. You’ll want to approach a personal matter differently. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try not to push yourself too hard. If you suddenly find that your feelings are hurt, stop and detach. You could be emotionally vulnerable. Postpone thinking about this matter. Perhaps at a different time, the same actions will get a different reaction. Tonight: Get some R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be spontaneous, especially

For Better or Worse

when dealing with matters involving friends. You might get a new perspective because of what an associate says. Once you identify or understand someone’s viewpoint, you can go along with his or her ideas more easily. Tonight: Zero in on a goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to lighten up about a situation involving a boss or someone else you must answer to. An associate or close friend might be able to tap into this person’s mindset far better than you can. Adjust your plans when a responsibility appears.

Tonight: In the limelight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your perspective is constantly evolving, which allows for more neutrality; however, it does not deter your impulsiveness. A partner or loved one keeps pushing you very hard.

Be smart, and let this person’s attempts wash right over you.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal directly with matters involving business, money or feelings. You cannot imagine how

much your complete attention means to others, but know that your energy might be a little overwhelming. An unexpected development could shake you up. Tonight: Call a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seek you out, and you might have some difficulty juggling all the different demands that land on your shoulders. A child or new love interest could be on the verge of throwing a tantrum if he or she doesn’t get what he or she wants. Tonight: Among the crowds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be easily irritated, and that frustration might come out in your interactions with those who are close to you. Take a deep breath. Indulge yourself, and buy a new item or two for your wardrobe. Consider taking a walk if that’s what it takes.

Tonight: Run an errand or two.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a friend who has a divorced daughter with two children.

The ex-husband has a good job with the government. My friend is very strapped for money and sends as much as she can to the daughter. The daughter claims the ex-husband does not pay child support regularly.

I feel the daughter should go to his employer about the child support. There are laws about this. But my friend and her daughter both believe this might cause him to lose his job. Then there would be no money coming at all. I disagree. I don’t believe you can be fired for garnishment of wages. But talking to my friend is like talking to a wall.

The new wrinkle is, the ex-husband is about to remarry. I have known this guy since he was a teenager, and he is a fine man. I don’t, however, have the same warm feelings toward my friend’s daughter. Is there some way I can look into her claim about the child support without causing trouble? My friend is about to lose her house, and I don’t think she should be giving away her money to her daughter.

I realize this is none of my business, but watching the effect this has on my friend breaks my heart. -- Just Concerned Dear Concerned: We cannot caution you enough to stay out of this. The mother may suspect her daughter is not telling her the truth and wants to give her the money anyway. The daughter may be perfectly honest about the child support, rendering your high opinion of the ex-husband unwarranted. And there could be other things going on of which you are unaware. If the daughter is not receiving child support, she can take the matter to the courts. We understand your concern, but no good can come from your snooping around.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. This summer, we are planning to go camping with his family.

They are religious and have strict morals, so my boyfriend says he will not sleep in the same tent with me. He argues that since they invited us on their camping trip, we should abide by their rules and expectations.

However, I believe that since we’re both adults and have been together for so long, it’s our right to sleep together. Who’s wrong?

-- Sleeping Alone Dear Sleeping: You are. These are his parents, and this is their camping trip. You not only should abide by their rules, but you should show them the kind of respect your boyfriend is showing by giving their sensitivities a priority when in their presence as their guests.

Dear Annie: I’d like to agree with “Encino, Calif.,” who needs a handicapped parking spot even though her disability is not visible.

I am an amputee. In the winter, no one can see my prosthesis under my pants. I can walk faster than a lot of people with two good legs, but I periodically get a sore “leg” and have fallen several times. So I legally park in the handicapped spot. I have never had anyone openly direct a nasty comment toward me, but I sure have had my share of dirty looks.

Someone once “reminded” me that I was in a handicapped spot, so I lifted up my pants leg. That shut him up.

I would like to tell people that just because we don’t look disabled doesn’t mean we are not. Things beyond our control have happened to us. Also, to those of you who park in the handicapped spaces “just for a minute” to drop something off: I once had to cross a snow-covered parking lot in a wheelchair when the handicapped spaces were full of people without proper stickers or license plates.

Scrap submarine fleet or buy new ones soon think-tanks tell Tories Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A pair of thinktanks say the Harper government should either announce plans to scrap its glitch-plagued submarine fleet — or begin the process of replacing them before any more tax dollars are wasted.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Rideau Institute say the Victoria-class submarines, purchased second-hand from Britain in the late 1990s, are

within a decade of ending their service life, and have never lived up to expectations.

A report written by defence and law academic Michael Byers and researcher Stewart Webb raises asks whether Canada, bordered on three sides by oceans, even needs submarines.

Byers says he doesn’t see a strong case for submarines, but remains open-minded and would like to see the government make a

coherent case for the capability.

He says the stealth coastal surveillance aspects of subs is rapidly being overtaken by unmanned aerial vehicle technology.

The national shipbuilding strategy is silent on whether the Conservative government intends to replace the current submarine fleet, something Byers says means the decision has either been made, or the file is being horribly mismanaged.
