SUMMER ATTRACTIONS

Farmers’ Market for Kimberley Thursday evenings, July 3 to September 11 on Howard Street C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

There is no doubt that the idea of local, sustainable food is popular right now. In communities across the province, community gardens, community kitchens and more are bringing the concept of feeding ourselves to the forefront. And farmers’ markets, which bring that fresh local food to local consumers, are proving very popular — case in point, the extremely successful Cranbrook Farmers Market.

This summer, you will find the same in Kimberley, managed by Erna Jensen-Shill of Wildsight, who has guided the Cranbrook market to its success.

This will be a true farmers’ market, Jensen-shill says.

Over 50 musicians from the Selkirk Secondary School and Kimberley Community Bands performed at the McKim Theatre April 17. The respective bands each played a selection of songs that many would recognize and then came together for the final two songs. It’s great to see the colaboration between the young and those a little older! The musicians and audience certainly enjoyed the experience. Ian Ferrie and Sven Heyde conducted.

Chamber CEO on new recycling program

May be too late to stop “bad legislation”, CEO says of MMBC recycling C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

John Winter, President and CEO of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, was in Kimberley for a Business Before Business

breakfast with Kimberley Chamber members on Thursday morning, April 17, 2014.

Just prior to his public remarks the Bulletin was able to speak to Mr. Winter on an issue that is proving troublesome for the newspaper industry, that being the new MMBC recycling program.

Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) is a non-profit organization that will assume responsibility for managing residential packaging and printed paper

(PPP) on behalf of industry in May 2014.

Currently, municipalities are being asked to sign contracts with MMBC for recycling services, although when it came up at Kimberley City Council last week, Council declined the contract, with Councillor Jack Ratcliffe commenting that program looked like a “disaster waiting to happen”.

What concerns the newspaper industry is that costs for recycling their printed

product will rise to an estimated $14 million under the program.

The industry has been lobbying hard against that, saying that the new fees will cost jobs at community newspapers.

When asked about the MMBC and its effect on newspapers, Mr. Winter was sympathetic over what he called “bad legislation” but said it was likely too late to stop it at this point.

B.C. Chamber president outlines positives for small businesses

resents.

Winter said that while the current Minister of Environment has “bent over backwards” to try to manage the collateral on small businesses, the project can’t be stopped.

He said the reason is isn’t being stopped is likely because the province has already signed all the contracts.

Winter said it really comes down to the big companies like Loblaw and Unilever which are the “big guys” making their own rules to “pass costs off”.

He gave an example of M&M Meats. Some of the franchises meet the requirements to be excluded from the fees.

However, he said MMBC went to the franchise headquarters and the usage fees will be implemented from that level and spread between the storefronts instead.

He said there are 3,000 businesses left that will be most affected.

The criteria for small business exemptions are for businesses that meet one of the following requirements: have less than $1 million in revenue; supply less than 1 tonne (1,000 kilograms) of packaging and printed paper to B.C. residents; or operate as a single point of retail sale and are not supplied or operated as part of a franchise, a chain or under a banner.

However, Mr. Winter says with the process so far, he doesn’t know what could stop it at this point.

“There’s no answer other than a politician with some gumption, and it has to be the Premier.”

Mr. Winter was also in both Cranbrook and Kimberley to talk about what the B.C. Chamber was doing for small business (see related story, this page).

There have been quite a few positive changes that the BC Chamber of Commerce has helped to implement in the province with regards to small businesses in the province, said the head of the organization.

John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce, spoke at the monthly general Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce lunch on Wednesday, April 16, and at a breakfast meeting of the Kimberley Chamber on Thursday, April 17.

Winter noted that the BC Chamber represents chamber members of 130 municipalities, and 36,000 businesses in B.C. “It’s those businesses that the BC Chamber speaks on behalf of,” he said.

One of those lauded successes is the first anniversary of the implementation by the province of the Small Business Accord. One portion of the accord includes government procurement policy, the $13 million the province spends will now better include small and medium size businesses, he said.

Another one of the things he mentioned as a positive boon to small businesses was the mobile business license.

He said the BC Cham-

ber worked together with local government on the mobile license and most of the province’s municipalities are moving towards it. The license allows mobile businesses to operate in more than one community, rather than having to apply for a license in multiple places.

Winter said its has lead to more money for municipalities because of better compliance from businesses.

The BC Chamber was involved in getting changes made to the U.S. Border Services expedited removal process for those crossing the border doing business. The process allowed U.S. Border agents the authority to ban and remove anyone they thought suspicious for up to five years, with no opportunity to a.

Winter said this would stop border guards from impeding progress of business owners for five year period without any recourse.

Wildfire Management Branch conducts Koocanusa burn Koocanusa burn ‘hit the window’ and ‘stayed in the box’ Cranbrook: On April 14, 2014, crews from B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch conducted a low-intensity, prescribed burn in the Bare Mountain area (Lat/Long 49 10.790 x 115 15.750). The site is very close to Englishman’s Creek Provincial Recreation Site and the Sweetwater Lake Village at Koocanusa Reservoir.

Burn boss Andre Chalabi said he was pleased with the day’s outcome. “Safety is our top priority when doing these burns,” Chalabi said, “and this was a safe, low-intensity event—exactly how we planned it.

“The ignition crew did a great job of lighting up and the containment crew made sure the burn stayed in ‘the box’ at all times.”

The 231-hectare site had been logged in 2006 and thinned by Galloway Lumber Company, (Job Opportunity Program crews) in 2008. The prior treatment made the burn easier to initiate in the extremely nar-

row spring ‘burn window’—when temperature, humidity and wind conspired to create safe and effective conditions.

Trench ER Team Leader Randall Harris said: “The burn seems to have hit our resource objectives—it carried better than we expected.”

Harris will return to the site in about six weeks to observe and measure the burn treatment results. The area is grazing habitat for Rocky Mountain elk and both types of deer (white-tailed and mule), and is also part of a local ranch’s grazing unit for its cattle.

The resource objectives of the controlled burn were to: • Reduce fuels less than five cm in diameter by 80 per cent • Kill 80 per cent of ingrown trees less than three metres tall • Maintain seedbank and nutrients by creating a moderate impact fire over 75 per cent of the burn area • Rejuvenate grasses and avoid killing grass growing points • Lift live tree canopy to 1.5 metres • Cover 75 per cent of the burn area.

The Trench ER program, working with the

Members of the BC Wildfire Management Branch observe a controlled, prescribed burn that took place near Koocanusa Reservoir on Monday. The burn—part of an overall ecosystem restoration plan—treated 231 hectares to help improve resource values.

weeks, as long as weather allows.

Every effort is made to ensure smoke levels

are tolerable, burns are safe and the treatment is effective.

Thursday evening Farmers’ Markets this summer From Page 1 “Shoppers will find local vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, bread, and honey, plus hot food, fresh baking, and crafts from local artisans.

“It’s all about make it, grow it, or bake it at the farmers’ marker, so you can be certain that everything you buy at the market is locally made, baked, or grown.”

Kimberley will offer the market on Thursday evenings, a time when the Chamber has made an effort to have businesses stay open late. Many Thursdays in the summer also feature the Kimberley Community Band offering free concerts at the Platzl gazebo. And the market, which will be set up along Howard Street above the Platzl, fits right into that, offering a little more to draw people downtown on warm, summer evenings.

The markets will run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays

from July 3 to September 11 — the peak of the local harvest season.

“After the great success of the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market over the past 5 years, we knew the time was ripe for our very own market in Kimberley - and by offering a mid-week market, we can attract vendors who are already committed on the weekends,” said Jensen-Shill.

Shoppers will find everything from fresh salad greens to local lamb and pork, including farm fresh eggs, local honey, garlic, veggies, fruit, and berries. There will be preserves, bread, baked goods, including gluten-free options, plus fresh roasted coffee and tea. Local artisans will show off their crafts, including wood and metal works, candles, soap, jewelery, and more. Of course, there will be vendors selling hot food as well, so Kimberlites can enjoy dinner at the

market while doing their shopping.

“We really wanted to give local farmers and growers an outlet to sell locally,” said Jess Windle, Wildsight’s Food Sustainability coordinator, “and to help support new farming and food production businesses in the area. Of course, locals get fresher, healthier, and tastier food with local production too.”

Wildsight has a great lineup of local food producers and artisans ready for the summer market. If you grow or produce local food or make crafts, the Kimberley Farmers’ Market is a great way to connect with local shoppers. Vendors can learn more about selling at the market at kimberleyfarmersmarket.ca or by calling market manager Erna Jensen-Shill at 250-427-2535, ext. 224.

B.C. Mayors’ caucus

Cranbrook, Kimberley set to host B.C. mayors this week ARNE PETRYSHEN TOWNSMAN STAFF

This week, Cranbrook and Kimberley will be jointly hosting the BC Mayors’ Caucus.

The Caucus is meant to facilitate discussion amongst the province’s mayors various diverse and pressing issues that relate to municipal government and will be happening April 24-25.

“Cranbrook is very excited about having municipal leaders from around B.C. here to discuss issues that are common to all of our citizens,” Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski said. “I look forward to sharing the outcomes and recommendations with our community.”

This will be the fifth meeting of the Caucus.

“It’s also a great opportunity to showcase our incredible region and encourage return visits to enjoy our sunshine and our world class scenery, recreation and wildlife,” he said.

The mayors will head to Kimberley on Thursday for an all day session at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre, before heading to the Prestige Cranbrook for a half day session on Friday.

Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae says it’s a great opportunity to showcase Kimberley’s conference centre and other amenities the area has to offer.

“This Mayors Caucus is a test case to get the mayors meeting out of a major centre and I think it’s going to be a great success. At last count, there were 66 mayors attending.”

Rebecca Peters, from the Laura Balance Media Group, said the sessions will be aimed at examining the challenges of BC’s communities and the sharing of best practices.

“We have surveyed a number of mayors over the past months to get a sense of some of their most pressing issues and will be giving them

?aq’am approves land code

The Ktunaxa community outside Cranbrook voted 73 per cent in favour of a land use model crafted by community members SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

An important vote for ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band) has given approval to a new land code for the Ktunaxa community outside Cranbrook.

Band members voted from Monday, April 14 to Wednesday, April 16 on whether they supported the land code, which

Some of the topics that will be up for discussion are healthcare, downloading of services and human resources.

sets regulations that would remove one-third of the legislation in the Indian Act. 141 ballots were cast, and 103 were in favour of adopting the land code. That works out to be 73 per cent, said Julie Couse, ?aq’am’s Director of Lands and Natural Resources.

“We are very, very pleased,” she said. “It was above what we were anticipating, which was really positive. I think the results show a lot of support for the land code, which was developed by membership, for membership.”

As a result of the positive vote, the land code came into effect on Wednesday, April 16.

“What this means for the community is we have a lot more opportunity from an economic standpoint, but I think it’s safe to say our priority will

always remain responsible stewardship of the land for the benefit of all Aqamnik,” said Couse.

The land code lets the band govern its own lands and resources, without having to go through the federal ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. ?aq’am has now joined 45 other bands across Canada that have ratified a land code.

The land act allows the band to be clear of 34 provisions of the Indian Act – about one third of the act.

“Moving forward it will provide membership with the opportunity to vote on any land laws that we create,” said Couse.

“It’s really going to be a reflection of the traditions and needs of this community, as opposed to something that was put in

place by the federal government.”

The land act will also allow the band to make laws about management of the reserve’s lands and resources, such as a land use plan for zoning, similar to an official community plan.

The band can now develop no trespassing laws, laws for land subdivisions and liabilities. But those laws will not pertain to oil and gas, uranium or radioactive minerals, fisheries, endangered species or migratory birds.

“From a development and a management perspective, we definitely have more opportunities. But more so, it also gives us opportunities for greater conservation and protection of our land,” said Couse.

Caveman tactics of yesteryear “The past is better enjoyed as a visitor than as a resident, I imagine.”

William Gibson “Humour is laughing at what you haven’t got when you ought to have it.”

Langston Hughes.

Going back over my log-books from days of yore, I calculate that I probably slept more nights in caves than did my Stone-age ancestors. After all, they had tents made of animal skins and lusty wives to carry them hither and thither; I didn’t so I was forced on my frequent peregrinations to find alternative shelter at night.

In those days, I suspect, we were the hippies of the fifties, but couldn’t afford guitars or marijuana. We puffed on cheap cigarettes and hitch-hiked around the country.

It was after the second great war and the populations of all of Europe were on the move. My extended family at the time had never been much north or west of London but I and my contemporaries had discovered the mountains of Wales, the Lake District, of the Pennines and of Scotland, and we had to get there, come hell or high water.

We hitched rides and slept rough.

Many of us proto-hippies had appropriated ex-army tents that were probably made of lead or something. They weighed more than a Blackfoot teepee with the buf-

falo still attached. However they were designed to separate into two halves. I often toted one half and hoped for the best; I wasn’t often lucky with the elements and so became expert at finding shelter.

It was, generally speaking, inconvenient for us to have stayed in comfortable lodgings; the inconvenience being primarily poverty.

I’ve attempted to sleep in a deserted chapel’s doorway: cold and unwelcoming.

A deserted army barracks: noisy with rattling doors and windows. Between two small lakes that decided to join in the night. Against a stone wall in a blizzard where I was joined by an indignant sheep. On a traffic island where I was awakened by jeering truck drivers at dawn, and many Peter an air-conditioned cave Warland with running cold water.

The exception was quite a pleasant cave in Surrey where we used to go rock-climbing. It was pleasant in that it was generally dry. I recall one night there when my friend Geoff attempted to sleep in a potato sack and was henceforth restless. There is very little warm comfort in a potato sack and Geoff spent the night attempting to snuggle up to the rest of us but was rebuffed. He was, however, the first up at dawn’s early light and making tea.

There is a cave in the limestone cliffs near the famous Cheddar Gorge. That one

was dry and we did get a small fire going in it. We felt more like our ancient ancestors than they actually were but we were eventually smoked out of there by some trick of the fickle wind.

In that less than sybaritic cavern in a Welsh valley we sheltered from a storm that had swept in from the Atlantic. The cave roof kept the rain off us but the ensuing stream flowed right through, disrupting our slumbers. I do recall Wendy complaining that her air-mattress was actually afloat. We pulled her damply ashore.

The Shelter Stone in the Cairngorm Mountains is a sort of cave. During an insane solo traverse of that wild place in mid-winter, I sought shelter under that pile of boulders but, to misquote somebody or other: The cave’s a fine and private place but none, I think, do there embrace. I spent hours fighting off persistent rodents and therefore couldn’t wait for dawn, which arrives about mid-afternoon at those latitudes in winter; I fled in the half light.

There are many places in The States that advertise: George Washington slept here. Everyone in Scotland claims that: Bonnie Prince Charlie sheltered here but, even though that land-lady in Chester did assure as that The Beatles had stayed there, we weren’t impressed.

However, interesting though it has been, I do not believe that there is a sign anywhere in the world that announces: Peter Warland Once Slept Here.

This is the first however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be of two columns addressing what I see as much worse.

Double hulls do not prevent hull abundance of sediment along the BC fracture if there is a collision at speed, only coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and if there is a gentle scrape.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in occur and a quick search of the internet

shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the BC coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this OPED will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-add benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in BC. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on this next month.

Inconvenient truths for Earth Day Earth Day 2014 will likely go down in B.C. history as less exciting than last year’s event.

That was the day when, in the heat of the election campaign, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced in Kamloops that he doesn’t support the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline to its Burnaby terminal, because Vancouver shouldn’t become a “major oil port.”

As of this Earth Day, it has been an oil port for exactly a century, since Imperial Oil began work on B.C.’s first refinery in 1914, in what is now Port Moody. There were no pipelines then, so crude was moved by rail or tanker.

For 60 years, Trans Mountain has supplied the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is southern B.C.’s last source of fuel. Some of the Alberta crude is piped south to be refined into fuels and some of that product is barged back up to B.C. to keep our traffic moving.

Today the proposal to expand and upgrade that pipeline, and to build new oil and natural gas pipelines across the north, dominate B.C.’s political scene.

In keeping with the educational aspect of Earth Day, here are some things you may not know about energy and the environ-

ment.

• A recent National Geographic report summarizes the main sources of oil in the oceans around North America. Media coverage focuses on tanker and pipeline spills, but they only account for eight per cent of the total.

Fully 60 per cent of the oil BC Views load in North American waters is from natural seeps, Tom where oil leaks from seafloor Fletcher rock. One of the world’s largest is off Santa Barbara, California, where 20 to 25 tons flows out each day. It’s mostly consumed by oil-eating bacteria that have adapted and proliferated.

The next biggest source is leakage from cars and trucks, which collects on pavement and is flushed to sea when it rains.

• Earth Day is now preceded by Earth Hour, during which we are encouraged to turn out our lights to join a world-wide gesture of conservation. Many people use the occasion for a candlelight dinner.

Given that B.C.’s power is nearly all from renewable hydroelectric sources, and that the paraffin used to make candles is derived from petroleum or coal, this feelgood ritual produces an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

David Suzuki is now promoting the idea of Earth Month, an expansion of the sym-

Letters to the Editor

bolic effort designed to “raise awareness.”

This is a popular notion in the climate change industry, which to date consists mostly of government officials and activists flying around the world to conferences in exotic locations to sign agreements that lead to, well, not much so far.

• Unlike Earth Hour, B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels actually appears to be helping to reduce emissions.

An update to provincial data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between 2007 and 2011.

Environment ministers have conceded that some of this is due to the recession that struck in 2008-2009. But since the economy has recovered and begun to grow again, emissions have continued to decline.

• There are simple things anyone can do, without gimmicks or government programs. One would be to stop protesting increased housing density in your community.

By far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C., not to mention old-fashioned pollution, is transportation.

By living closer to where we work, shop and play, we can exercise our legs instead of just our gas pedal foot to get around.

Happy Earth Day! Recycling 101 - The Basics Did you know you can use ANY yellow bin you see around the East Kootenay?

With over 600 bins available, recycling has never been easier!

Here are some quick tips to remember: • All plastics MUST be clean and have a number between 1 and 6. That number must be in the triangular recycling symbol. If there is no number, it should go in the garbage if it can’t be reused.

• All plastic grocery/shopping bags can be recycled -- even if they don’t have a number on them. This is the only item that can be recycled if it doesn’t have a number. All other plastics must be numbered • Styrofoam CANNOT be recycled -- even if it’s marked with a #6.

• Tin cans should be well rinsed with labels removed, if possible.

• Cardboard should be flattened to save bin space.

• Foil covered or waxy papers (like milk cartons or foil greeting cards) cannot be recycled. Milk cartons can be taken to the Cranbrook Bottle Depot for recycling.

Only Certain Glass Is Recyclable Glass goes in the yellow bins marked “Glass Only”.

The only glass that is accepted for recycling is food-grade glass, which is anything that holds your food or beverages.

This includes: • jam jars • salsa jars

• olive oil jars • beverage bottles Drinking glasses, dishes, picture frames, trinkets, ceramics, light bulbs, window glass, etc. should NEVER go in the glass recycling bin. They contaminate the load.

Please remember to remove all lids.

In the Cranbrook/Kimberley area, the glass recycling bins are located at the Cranbrook Transfer Station, Christ the Servant Church parking lot, Cranbrook Bottle Depot, College of the Rockies, Kimberley Transfer Station, New & Nearly New, and Lindsay Park Elementary School.

Learn More About Earth Day Earth Week is a great time to think about what each of us can do to make a positive difference. Reducing, reusing and recycling really add up.

Curling great Kevin Martin announces retirement T YLER HARPER Canadian Press

Kevin Martin, a Canadian curling star whose career highlights include an Olympic gold medal and a world championship, will soon throw his last rock.

The Edmonton skip announced his retirement Friday at the Grand Slam of Curling’s Players’ Championship in Summerside, P.E.I. Martin plans to finish the event before joining Sportsnet as a broadcast analyst next season as well as becoming a spokesman for the series.

The decision to retire came after the Canadian Olympic curling trials in December when Martin’s rink failed to book a ticket to the Sochi Games. Martin had make an official announcement when the season was over,

knew, I just didn’t want to announce anything at the time. That’s not really proper.”

The affable Martin, nicknamed “The Bear,” has been a powerhouse in Canadian curling since making his junior debut in 1984. He won a Canadian junior curling championship with Alberta in 1985 and never looked back.

He leaves the sport with a glittering resume that includes a world championship in 2008, a silver medal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and four gold medals at the Brier. He also holds the record for Grand Slam titles with 17, including seven Players’ Championships.

Martin’s departure from the sport won’t coincide with a drop in results. He said it was important to end his career at a high point.

but that changed when news surfaced last month that second Marc Kennedy and lead Ben Hebert were joining national champion Kevin Koe’s rink.

But retirement has been on the 47-yearold’s mind since winning gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

“I guess when it comes to sports you kind of know when it’s time,” said Martin. “I thought about retiring after Vancouver and we ended up deciding to play and try to get to Sochi and trained extremely hard in the last year and came close.

But (Brad) Jacobs ended up winning, which is great, but that was it.

“I’m not trying for another four-year term.

Right after the trials, that’s when I told the team and I phoned my sponsors.

Reinhart, who is coming off a career year with the team in the regular season, continues to lead the WHL in points at 23 even though the Ice were eliminated in Game Seven last week against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

In 13 games, the Ice captain picked up six goals and 17 assists for 23 points. Oliver Bjorkstrand and Trevor Cox, with the Portland Winterhawks and the Tigers, respectively, are one point behind.

Reinhart and his linemates ran rampant over the Calgary Hitmen in the first round series, as he and Jaedon Descheneau both picked up 17 points.

The Tigers proved to be a tougher challenge in the second round, and were able to hold the Ice captain to six points in seven games.

Descheneau was the runner up to Reinhart in

Eastern Conference nominee On Friday, the WHL released their nominees for player of the year, with Sam Reinhart pick-

ing up the honour for the Eastern Conference.

He will go up against Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs, who is the Western Conference nominee.

The winner will be announced on April 30th at a league awards luncheon in Calgary.

In addition to the player of the year nod, Reinhart is also nomi-

nated for the Most Sportsmanlike Player of the Year award, and will coincidentally go up against Holmberg again for the award.

Reinhart, at 18 years old, scored 36 goals and tallied 105 points in 62 regular season games in the WHL this year. His 69 assists broke a franchise record previously set by alumni and LA Kings forward Jarret Stoll in 2001.

He was held off the scoresheet only nine times this season, and enjoyed a league-leading 22-game point streak. With a team total of 235 goals scored in 72 games, Reinhart’s 105point total puts him in 45 per cent of Kootenay’s offensive output.

Holmberg, one of Spokane’s overage players this year, finished the season leading his team and the league with 62 goals and 118 points. He is only the second player since 2001 to break the 60goal mark during a season.

Following Spokane’s first-round exit, the free agent joined the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL.

NHL teams begin long journey for Stanley Cup Associated Press

PENGUINS 4 BLUE JACKETS 3 COLUMBUS, Ohio - Brandon Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Jussi Jokinen scored in a span of 2:13 of the third period to revive the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.

Pittsburgh took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series thanks to the goals on three consecutive shots.

Brooks Orpik added a goal in the final seconds of the second period as the Penguins stormed back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-1. Marc-Andre Fleury had 17 saves.

Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson staked the Blue Jackets to an early lead in the opening 3:18, with Cam Atkinson getting credit for a goal early in the final period that stretched the lead to 3-1.

Game 4 is Wednesday night in Columbus.

WILD 1 AVALANCHE 0, OT ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Mikael Granlund’s diving goal 5:08 into overtime allowed the Wild to pull within 2-1 in the best-ofseven series.

Semyon Varlamov stopped 45 of 46 shots, a franchise playoff record for shots on goal by the Wild.

Granlund cut toward the net for a wrist shot, and as he was

falling forward took a stab at the puck to finally put one past Varlamov.

Darcy Kuemper made 22 saves, but the Wild goalie in his first career playoff start was just as good as his counterpart.

Game 4 is at Xcel Energy Center on Thursday.

BLACKHAWKS 2 BLUES 0 CHICAGO (AP) - Corey Crawford made 34 saves in his third career post-season shutout, and the Blackhawks got back into their playoff series with the Blues.

Jonathan Toews scored in the first period and Marcus Kruger added an empty-netter as Chicago bounced back after a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews’ 21st post-season goal was only the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the series.

Ryan Miller shook off another slow start and made 23 saves for St. Louis.

Game 4 is Wednesday night.

STARS 3 DUCKS 0 DALLAS (AP) - Kari Lehtonen had 37 saves, with some tremendous stops, for his first career post-season victory, and the Stars won their first home playoff game in six years.

Dallas captain Jamie Benn skated out of the penalty box to

score late in the first period, and 19-year-old rookie Valeri Nichushkin added a goal for the Stars in Game 3 of the best-ofseven series. The top-seeded Ducks won each of the first two games at home, both one-goal results.

Game 4 is Wednesday night.

Lehtonen, who held up through five Anaheim power plays, had a kick save near the end of one of those in the final minute of the first period. That came right before Benn came out of the penalty box and skated toward the other end for the winning goal.

Nets down Raptors to open NBA playoffs Lori E wing Canadian Press

TORONTO - Deron Williams and Joe Johnson had 24 points each to lift the Brooklyn Nets to a 94-87 win over Toronto on Saturday, giving the Nets Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoff series against a young Raptors squad.

Kyle Lowry had 22 points for Toronto, making its first playoff appearance in six years. Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 18 boards in a game that had just about everything - from an apology from Raptors GM Masai Urjiri for dropping an F-bomb to a faulty shot clock.

Paul Pierce added 15 points for the Nets and was especially lethal down the stretch, scoring nine points in the final 2:58. Shaun Livingston had 10 points as Brooklyn scored 17 points off 19 Toronto turnovers.

Greivis Vasquez added 18 points for Toronto, while DeMar DeRozan had 14.

The Raptors might be the Atlantic Division champs and No. 3 seed in the East but are considered underdogs in this series based on experience or lack thereof. The Nets’ starting five came in with a combined 417 post-season starts.

Toronto’s starters: zero.

Pierce’s 136 post-season appearances alone was almost as many as the Raptors’ entire roster (156 prior to tipoff ).

If they felt any pressure, Valanciunas and Lowry certainly didn’t show it. The 21-year-old Valanciunas became the first Raptor since Tracy McGrady in 2000 to record a double-double in his playoff debut and also set a record for rebounds (Keon Clark’s 16 boards versus Detroit in 2002 was the previous mark).

The Raptors rallied from an early 12-point deficit to take a one-point lead early in the third, but it was short-lived as Brooklyn led 67-62 heading into the fourth quarter.

A basket by Lowry, then a three by Vasquez gave Toronto

a 76-75 lead with 5:13 to play, but Brooklyn responded with seven straight points - punctuated with a Pierce three-pointer - to take a six-point lead with three minutes to go.

The Raptors pulled to within five points several times over the final couple of minutes but could come no closer, sending the series into Game 2 on Tuesday at the Air Canada Centre with the Nets leading 1-0.

The series shifts to Brooklyn for Game 3 on Friday.

Emotions ran high even before this series started, with talk the Nets tanked down the stretch - losing four of their last five - to purposely drop to sixth so they’d face the less-experienced Raptors.

Ujiri took the stage before the afternoon game to address pumped-up fans at Maple Leafs Square. The moment seemed to get to him as he paired an F-bomb and Brooklyn on his way off the stage.

“I apologize to kids out there and to the Brooklyn

guys,” Ujiri said at halftime.

“Nothing against them. Just trying to get our fans going.

That’s it.”

He offered over his shoulder as he walked away: “You know how I feel. I don’t like them (the Nets), but I apologize.”

And on an afternoon marked by strange events, the shot clock went black midway through the third, and after a 10-minute delay, it was decided the game would be played without one. Announcer Herbie Kuhn counted down the clock from 10 seconds on every possession.

Toronto (48-34) and Brooklyn (44-38) split four meetings during the regular season, with each team winning once on the opponent’s court.

The Raptors had only opened the playoffs at home in one other year, in 2007 - incidentally also against the (then-New Jersey) Nets. The Raptors, also Atlantic Division champions that year, were beaten in five games.

Bouchard lifts Canada to World Group of Fed Cup Pe ter Figur a Canadian Press

QUEBEC - Eugenie Bouchard wasn’t thrilled with her play, but she was more than happy with the end result as she helped move Canadian women’s tennis to new heights.

The Montreal native won both her singles matches in a playoff tie with Slovakia, including the clinching match on Sunday, as Canada ad-

vanced to the 2015 Fed Cup World Group.

Bouchard, at No. 18 in the WTA singles rankings, beat Jana Cepelova 7-6 (6), 6-3 in front of a spirited home crowd on the campus of Laval University. The win gave Canada a 3-0 lead in the best-of-five tie, and moved the Canadians into the elite World Group for the first time.

“I wasn’t happy with my level of play in both

of my matches, but I am proud that I managed to win them both,” said Bouchard, 20. “It was a difficult adjustment for me to switch to hard courts from clay, but sure both victories feel great.

“It feels great to know that we’ve made history here. I played a lot of matches for Canada in the Fed Cup, and I won most of them, so I am proud that I kind of lead

this team to the World Group.”

On Saturday, Bouchard beat No. 137 Kristina Kucova 7-6 (0), 2-6, 6-1 in a close match, to give Canada a 2-0 advantage, after teammate Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., defeated Cepelova 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.

Canada will now join the eight best teams on the planet in the World Group. A June 4 draw will determine Canada’s

next opponent, and whether that tie will be held at home or on the road in 2015.

“It’s a huge accomplishment in my opinion,” team captain Sylvain Bruneau said.

“We’ve never been there. It all started with last year’s win over Columbia, then we beat Ukraine, a team that was ranked well ahead of us, then Serbia, and now Slovakia.”

Oil Kings in the lead, Winterhawks tied with Rockets in WHL playoffs

EDMONTON - Curtis Lazar scored twice and Tristan Jarry made 32 saves as the Edmonton Oil Kings edged the Medicine Hat Tigers 3-1 on Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the Western Hockey League’s Eastern Conference final.

Edgars Kulda scored a goal and assisted on another for the Oil Kings.

Chad Butcher responded with the Tigers’ lone goal, on the power play halfway through the second period.

Medicine Hat goaltender Marek Langhamer stopped 43 shots in defeat.

In the Western Conference final, the Portland Winterhawks scored four goals in the second period to come from behind and defeat the Kelowna Rockets 5-3 on Saturday in WHL playoff action.

Dominic Turgeon, Nicolas Petan, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Brendan Leipsic scored in the second for the Winterhawks, who evened the Western Conference final at a game apiece. Alex Schoenborn added another goal in the third period.

Corbin Boes earned the win for Portland after stopping all 15 shots he faced in 38 minutes of relief.

Boes replaced starter Brendan Burke, who allowed three goals on 12 shots.

Madison Bowey, Riley Stadel and Nick Merkley supplied the scoring for the Rockets, who blew leads of 2-0 and 3-1.

Thousands run Boston Marathon after deadly bombings last year

BOSTON - American Meb Keflezighi has won the Boston Marathon, a year after a bombing at the finish line left three dead and more than 260 people injured.

Keflezighi is a former New York City Marathon champion and Olympic medallist.

He ran the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish on Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay on Monday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.

Rita Jeptoo of Kenya successfully defended the Boston Marathon title she said she could not enjoy a year ago after the fatal bombings.

Jeptoo finished Monday’s race in a course-record 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds. She becomes the seventh three-time Boston Marathon champion.

Jeptoo broke away from a group of five runners at the 23-mile mark.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am quite a bit overweight.

My 29-year-old daughter is concerned that I might have a heart attack and die on her.

Meanwhile, she has been smoking cigarettes since she was 16 years old. She said to me, “If you have gastric bypass surgery, I will quit smoking.”

My sister says I should absolutely do it because I might be saving my daughter’s life. That is an awful burden to place on me.

Of course, I would love to lose weight, but something as drastic as gastric bypass surgery is frightening to me. Am I being selfish by not wanting to have the surgery? -- Need Your Help Dear Need: Not at all. We know your daughter’s heart is in the right place and that she is worried about you. But surgeries, including gastric bypass, come with serious risks. Such surgery is a last resort for those who are morbidly obese and have been unable to lose weight any other way. Have you tried programs like Weight Watchers or Overeaters Anonymous? Have you seen a nutritionist about eating in a more healthful way? Have you attempted an exercise program or checked at your local gym for a personal trainer? These are all steps you should take to get your weight into a healthy range.

So here’s a better bargain: Tell your daughter that you will get into a diet and exercise program while she works on giving up cigarettes. Someday, she may have a 29-yearold daughter who worries that her mother will die from smoking. We wish you both the best.

Dear Annie: This is a plea to women everywhere. When I use a public restroom and there is urine splashed all over the toilet seat, I want to scream. If there is another stall, I will use it instead, but otherwise, I am stuck cleaning off this mess with a wad of toilet paper before I can use the seat. Then I have to find my hand sanitizer.

So here’s the simple request: Ladies, if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie, wipe the seatie! -- Grimacing in Sarasota Fla. Dear Grimacing: We are on your side. But in all fairness, women often don’t want to sit on a public toilet, and if there are no paper seat covers, they may feel it is necessary to hover over the seat. Also, sometimes the flush itself creates splashing, which is not the woman’s fault. So, ladies, please check the seat before you leave the stall and be considerate of the next woman.

Dear Annie: I am so glad “Not a Prude” addressed the issue of “undressed” women in the TV news. It is vulgar and sad.

I can get past the sleeveless dresses, but I’m sick of the cross-legged, too-short skirt pose and the deep cleavage. What happened to sitting behind a news desk? Why do we have to see anyone’s legs? I am not a prude, but I refuse to watch any news station where the women dress this way.

Our society glorifies sex. I remember one female announcer saying that the reason women wear dresses is because “the man wears the pants.” I wonder whether she wears dresses at home with her husband. It is degrading and sexist for any TV producer to insist that the female employees wear inappropriate clothing just to get more viewers. And it is sad for any woman to give in to that pressure in order to keep her job. Wearing short dresses and showing cleavage is unprofessional and sends the wrong message to other women and young girls who want to succeed in the professional world.

-- Another Woman Speaking Out Dear Another: If enough people stop watching the stations that promote men as professionals and women as sex symbols, maybe things will change.

Annie’s Snippet for Earth Day (credit John Muir): When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

Farmers seek changes to ALC legislation Tom Fle tcher Black Press

Newly appointed Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is meeting with B.C. Agriculture Council representatives this week to discuss their growing concerns about a plan to set new rules for protected farmland in the B.C. Interior.

When changes to the Agricultural Land Commission were announced in late March, the move was generally endorsed by Rhonda Driediger, then chair of the BCAC. Dreidiger, a berry grower in the Fraser Valley, said opening up the Interior, Kootenay and North regions

to secondary uses based on social and economic needs would help farms innovate and stay in business.

Dreidinger has been succeeded as BCAC chair by Stan Vander Waal, who operates flower greenhouses in Chilliwack. After meeting last week with Letnick, Vander Waal wants changes to the legislation.

“It is the position of the B.C. Agriculture Council that as currently written, Bill 24 threatens the sustainability of agriculture in B.C.,” Vander Waal said in a statement.

The BCAC is forming

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick a steering committee of member farmers to continue discussions with the government.

The changes were

spearheaded by Energy Minister Bill Bennett as part of the govenment’s “core review” of operations. They would allow consideration of more non-farm uses outside the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions where most of B.C.’s farm income is generated.

Bill 24 also formalizes the cabinet appointment process for the ALC’s six regional panels, so two or three local farmers make the frontline decisions on applications for permitted uses such as a secondary residence.

NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons has

protested the legislation since it was revealed.

“The decision to protect land suitable for agriculture 40 years ago was for the benefit of future generations,” Simons said. “Having two zones and the ‘regional panels’ make decisions about agricultural land is too political.”

Bennett said the current ALC chair has refused to appoint local panel members recommended by government, centralizing the ALC function and subverting the intent of changes made in 2003 to provide local input to decisions.

Air Canada baggage handlers to be fired over luggage incident, airline says C anadian Press

TORONTO — Two Air Canada baggage handlers set to lose their jobs over a video showing bags being dropped several metres into a bin on the ground were working under intense pressure to move the items quickly, their union said Monday.

Bill Trbovich, a spokesman for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said when there’s no more room for carry-on luggage inside a plane, handlers are forced to take the rest outside in a rush to be stowed elsewhere so the flight isn’t delayed.

But the stairs up to the plane are so steep, it

would be dangerous to hurry down, Trbovich said.

Meanwhile, “management is pushing them to get the planes out on time,’’ he said.

The video, taken by a passenger on board a plane at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, shows one worker dropping baggage about six metres from the stairs to a luggage bin on the ground while another baggage handler works below.

Air Canada, which has dealt with backlash since the video was posted on YouTube on April 18, said the two employees have been suspended and will be fired as a result of the incident.

They have been told

Court says law infringes, but upholds B.C. election rules on small advertisers Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — A B.C. judge has upheld sections of the province’s election laws that require anyone spending money on advertising to register with Elections BC, regardless of how much they spend.

The B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association argued the law was unconstitutional because it discourages people or groups from engaging in political speech.

The group argued the rules shouldn’t

apply to amounts of less than $500.

B.C. Supreme Court Judge Bruce Cohen has released a written ruling in which he agrees the law infringes on the right to free speech.

However, Cohen says the infringement is reasonable and can be justified by the need to ensure elections are open and transparent.

The association pointed out in court that other jurisdictions exempt advertising involving small amounts of money from registration requirements.

“their employment will be terminated pending the outcome of our investigation,’’ spokeswoman Angela Mah said in an email.

The airline has apologized for what it calls the “totally unacceptable mishandling of our passengers’ baggage

captured on video.’’

The video is titled “How Air Canada Handles Your Baggage’’ and has prompted some to vow never to fly with Air Canada again.

Some, however, have come to the airline’s defence, saying it shouldn’t be judged by one inci-

dent.

Trbovich said it’s not yet known whether the union will file a grievance.

But he stressed the airline could help prevent such incidents by enforcing its own carry-on restrictions.

Teen stowaway survives flight in jetliner wheel well Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A 16-year-old boy scrambled over an airport fence, crossed a tarmac and climbed into a jetliner’s wheel well, then flew for five freezing hours to Hawaii — a misadventure that stirred concern about possible weak spots in the security system that protects the nation’s airline fleet.

The boy, who lives in Santa Clara, California, and attends a local high school, hopped out of the wheel well of a Boeing 767 on the Maui airport tarmac Sunday. Authorities found him wandering around the airport grounds with no identification. He was questioned by the FBI and taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was found to be unharmed.

FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu said the teen did not remember the flight from San Jose.

It was not immediately clear how the boy stayed alive in the unpressurized space, where temperatures at cruising altitude can fall well below zero and the air is too thin for humans to stay conscious. An FAA study of stowaways found that some went into a hibernation-like state.

Somehow, the boy managed to slip through multiple layers of security, including wide-ranging video surveillance, German shepherds and Segway-riding police officers.

Security footage from the San Jose airport verified that the boy climbed a

fence and crossed a runway to get to Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 on Sunday morning, Simon said.

The airport, in the heart of Silicon Valley, is surrounded by fences, although many sections do not have barbed wire and could easily be scaled.

The boy climbed over during the night, “under the cover of darkness,’’ San Jose airport spokeswoman Rosemary Barnes said Monday.

Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman Alison Croyle said airline personnel noticed the boy on the ramp after the flight arrived and immediately notified airport security.

“Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived,’’ Croyle said.

Unlike checkpoint security inside the airport, which is the responsibility of the Transportation Security Administration, airport perimeters are policed by local authorities as well as federal law enforcement.

The boy was released to child protective services in Hawaii and not charged with a crime, Simon said.

The FAA says 105 stowaways have sneaked aboard 94 flights worldwide since 1947, and about 1 out of 4 survived. But agency studies say the actual numbers are probably higher, as some survivors may have escaped unnoticed, and bodies could fall into the ocean undetected.
