Celia (Michelle Lemay) and Chris (Killeen Delorme) have a friendly rivalry going on over the costumery for the Women’s Institute Christmas gathering. Celia and Chris are two of the six women who will soon be breaking free of the traditional restraints of the Women’s Institute, baring all for charity. “Calendar Girls” is going to take them to places they never expected.

The latest production by the Off Centre Players opens tonight, Tuesday, May 6, at Centre 64 in Kimberley. See more, Page 2.

A courageous fight ends C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

A young girl whose fight became an inspiration passed away last week. Jenna Homeniuk, 16, lost a long, courageous battle with leukemia.

Her family posted this message on the Fight for Jenna Facebook page: “Thank you all for your kind words, your love and your strength. I am sorry we cannot

respond to the beautiful messages, tags and photos you have posted, but we thank you. Jenna’s spirit lives on. I feel her with me, if only I could hold her and hear her voice once more. She left us peacefully and she even had a smile on her face. We love you, Jenna.. Fly like an eagle, my beauty.”

Kimberley residents supported Jenna and her family as much as they could through the past

few years. Numerous events raised thousands of dollars so her family could stay at her side.

Jenna’s Celebration of Life will be held at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Saturday, May 10, at 1 p.m.

Her family hopes to fill the arena with friends wearing Jenna’s favourite colours, teal and mint green. Jenna’s family requests that you wear the colours Jenna Homeniuk in her honour.

The long-awaited announcement has finally arrived. The City of Kimberley received notice late last week that the federal and provincial governments will provide $1,034, 291 each for the Mark Creek Flume rehabilitation project.

Pending Council approval, the City will also commit $1,034,291.

Mayor Ron McRae says it is incredibly good news.

“It is absolutely great news,” he said, adding that with this amount from the upper levels of government, and the City authorized by taxpayers to borrow up to $4.25 million, the total budget will be $6.8 million.

“The 6.8 million will see the project totally complete,” McRae said.

The project will go out to tender again, he says.

“We will likely tender out different pieces of it, rather than one large contractor,” he said.

“That way there is a

A GOLFER’S DREAM

greater opportunity for local contractors to be a part of the project. The big barrier for smaller contractors for sizeable projects is the inability to come up with the bonding. Smaller operators just don’t have access to that.”

McRae says that in a sense the City will be the general contractor and oversee the sub-contractors. That doesn’t mean a lot of city crews will be working on it, however.

“We won’t be using a significant number of city forces, but some, especially for sewer and water.”

As for timing, McRae says it is highly unlikely that the contractors will be in the creek this construction season. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, such as surveying and preparing the sides.

“There will be significant work done attributed to the project this year.

“Once all the pieces are in place, it is quite likely we can do the whole project in the next construction season.”

That would be the 2015 season.

The joint funding was announced for 26 community flood mitigation projects across the province.

“Calendar Girls” opens with the revelation that a man is dying.

John Clarke, husband of Annie and friend to all members of the Women’s Institute Club in the small town of Knapeley, Yorkshire, reveals to his wife Annie that the results of his tests have come back, and the news isn’t good.

John (played by Barry Borgstrom) then succumbs to cancer over the next couple of scenes in the latest production of Off-Centre Players. And his death — one of the many beautifully enacted moments in the play — drives the rest of the characters on to their destinies.

“Calendar Girls,” directed by Terry Miller and produced by Elizabeth Adler, opens tonight, May 6, at Centre 64 in Kimberley. It is a series of interconnected vignettes, which follows the cast of 14 through more than 80 entrances and exits and a shimmering display of costumery, in a story of liberation and courage.

Annie (Susan Hanson) is the emotional centre of the play, and her friend Chris (Killeen Delorme) is the catalyst.

They and their four friends — Cora, Celia, Ruth and Jessie (Nola Jean, Michelle Lemay, Michelle McCue and Joanne Wilkinson respectively) — take over the production of the annual WI calendar (generally known for pictures of local churches and

zone — some of them very far outside it indeed. The zone of comfort includes “the stultifying rules” of smalltown Yorkshire living, and the conservative, almost Victorian, traditions of the Women’s Institute.

The over-arching reason, of course, is the impetus to create some corresponding good from John’s death.

The moment of disrobing is a moment of great drama and joy, the play’s centrepiece moment at its halfway point. One can see the courage it takes to lay it all on the line like that, not only from the characters’ point of view, but the actors themselves.

The project succeeds more than the participants could ever have imagined, bringing them not only fame in their small community, but world-wide attention. But the pressure starts to build — the calendar starts to become bigger than they, and to demand more of them, to force them to reveal

Barry Coulter photo

Jessie (Joanne Wilkinson, left) and Marie (Jennifer Henkes-Inglis). more of themselves than they expected, and to take that fame further than most of them can go.

Here is the difference between naked and nude: Nude is when only enough is bared to sell a calendar and start a conversation. Naked is when your vulnerabilities are exposed, and the issues within yourself you have troubles confronting are suddenly available for all to see.

And so the pressure builds. Rifts appear in the women’s relationships, and in their friendships with each other. The question is, how to rebuild and repair, to go back to their frameworks of the past, while retaining the liberation and enlightenment they have experienced.

Rounding out the stellar cast are Jennifer Henkes-Inglis as Marie, the stern president of the Women’s Institute (fresh off her role in Cranbrook Community Theatre’s “The Foreigner”); Sioban Staplin as Brenda Hulse (who ar-

rives at the WI to give a talk on broccoli); Thom McCaughey as Chris’s husband Rod; Brigitte Franyo as the posh Lady Cravenshire; Jerrod Bondy (Fresh off his role in “Foreigner”) as Lawrence the photographer (Patrick Baranowski will also be appearing in this role); Tylene Turner as Elaine the TV studio beautician; Andy Rogers as Liam the TV producer.

The production itself is a fundraiser for the East Kootenay Foundation for Health. Not only are proceeds from the show going towards the cause, but a real calendar, with photos by Brian Clarkson featuring the actresses, is on sale at the same venue as the tickets (Lotus Books in Cranbrook and and the Snowdrift Cafe in Kimberley).

And the show is making a rare and welcome double run in both towns — May 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 at Centre 64 in Kimberley and May 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 at the Studio/Stage Door in Cranbrook.

Congratulations to Tye Reid and Katie Rogers who will head to China this summer with International Program Coordinator Mark Davies for a two week BC Leadership Camp.

Board asks hospital for privacy screen The hospital district would like Interior Health to provide a cover between the walkway from East Kootenay Regional Hospital and the Mobile MRI trailer Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Interior Health is being urged to provide covered access the entire way from East Kootenay Regional Hospital into the Mobile MRI trailer that is parked outside the hospital one week a month.

On Friday, May 2, directors of the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board appealed to Interior Health to provide some kind of covering between the end of the walkway and the entrance to the trailer.

“It’s embarrassing for people to have to go out there, and when it is cold, when it is raining, when

it is windy...,” said Mary Giuliani, mayor of Fernie. “Why couldn’t a canvas cover be easy enough to do? I think this is a really easy matter for Interior Health to take care of and it would make life so much easier for the people who are needing it.”

The Mobile MRI unit provides diagnostic imaging for patients of the East Kootenay one week out of every month. It is shared with the South Okanagan and Kootenay Boundary districts.

In 2005, Interior Health built a glassed-in, heated walkway out to the parking space where the trailer sits. However, the trailer cannot connect directly to the walkway and patients must walk outside in hospital gowns to get from the walkway to the trailer.

“Here’s a vision for you: me in a gown, cowboy hat and boots, and the wind comes up. Not a good look for neighbours, for kids, or anybody else,” said board chair John Kettle.

Todd Mastel, director of business support for Interior Health, told the board that the hospital’s practice is for the MRI technician

to meet the patient inside the hospital and offer for them to wear their coat or a blanket over the gown, and carry their personal belongings out to the trailer.

However, Giuliani said when she accompanied someone to have the test done recently, that was not the case and the patient went from the walkway to the trailer in nothing but a gown in the depth of winter.

“We didn’t get it right that day and I apologize for that,” responded Mastel.

Interior Health has weighed up the cost of connecting the trailer to the passageway, but consider it to be a low priority given other expenses facing the hospital district.

“It becomes a balancing act in terms of how this item fits in terms of a priority versus all the other challenges we have on the capital side,” said Mastel.

“We’re not sure that there is something that would make it significantly better than what we have now.”

Cranbrook, BC (May 5, 2014) -The Canadian Rockies International Airport has a new addition to its departure lounge.

BC Parks, internationally acclaimed artist Joseph Cross, and Cranbrook Airport Manager, Tristen Chernove have collaborated to promote BC’s fabulous parks. The display is specifically oriented to Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park and the fund-raising project to support the BC Park Enhancement Fund.

Joseph Cross has completed the third in a series of four paintings depicting the magnificent scenery and vistas of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. The Mount Assiniboine project is a labour of love born from Joseph Cross’ desire to support provincial parks in his community. The first painting, titled “Sunburst Morning: Sunburst Mountain & Cerulean Lake” was created following a number of expeditions by Joseph and Sharon Cross into Mount Assiniboine park.

The second painting was “Mt. Assiniboine Reflection”.

This third painting, titled “I Wish I Was Sitting On That Deck Right Now”, is a pastel painting measuring 24” x 18” unframed. “This painting is representative of the view from one of the several Mt. Assiniboine Lodge cabins. It’s one of those views when you say “pinch me – I think I’m dreaming,” says Cross. “The view from the cabin with Mt. Assiniboine as the centre of attention is special indeed. The title for the painting came from an email from one of the BC Parks staff who happened to see an image of this painting, and it just seemed to say it all.”

Each of the original paintings have been reproduced in limited edition glicée (pronounced she glay) on canvas and the reproductions are being offered for sale to the public, with the profits going to benefit Mount Assiniboine provincial park and other Kootenay Provincial parks through the Park Enhancement Fund.

BC Parks is a proud partner on this very worthwhile fundraising initiative and is working with the Crosses to share information about and promote this project, and to announce the completion of each painting. The information is posted

RDEK questions benefits of new recycling program Directors question MMBC “enhancement” claims ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Regional District representatives had a chance to clear some confusion, as well as vent some frustrations, at the new provincial recycling program being implemented around B.C. this month.

Allen Langdon, managing director of Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) was in the hot seat as he took questions from Regional District of East Kootenay directors at a committee meeting on Thursday afternoon, May 1. Langdon was there to answer question about the bene-

fits of being in the program.

“We are the latest in over 20 stewardship agencies that have come along before us, for materials such as paint, tires, electronics, lightbulbs, light fixtures, batteries — I could go on,” Langdon said. “This is nothing new in terms of this model, but we’re by far the largest program.”

Langdon said it’s also the program that’s had the most interaction with municipalities, because in most cases it involves the transition from local government-run programs to a provincial corporation programs.

He said comparatively when the electronics recycling program came into being, there wasn’t a large scale program already in place like in this

case.

“It was really filling a gap, whereas this is much more a transition and enhancement of service that is right now is being fronted by municipal taxpayers,” he said.

Langdon later admitted in the meeting: “We’re not calling it an enhancement of service in this regional district.”

That was prompted by Invermere Director Gerry Taft, who was not convinced of the benefits of the program, noting there will only be two depots in Cranbrook and one in Invermere for the East Kootenay.

“To suggest that people from Spillimacheen or outside of Canal Flats are somehow going to drive to a municipality an hour away to bring their cardboard and recycling

Allen Langdon, managing director of Multi-Material BC spoke to Regional District of East Kootenay directors on May 1. Langdon outlined the functions of the new recycling program and tried to address concerns that the directors had.

material and call that an enhancement of service is ridiculous,” Taft said, adding the current yellow bin system serves the 56,000 residents of the RDEK well.

Area G Director Gerry Wilkie agreed.

“We have an outstanding recycling program through the regional district and through the yellow bins,” Wilkie said.

“In particular in the rural areas. And a whole generation have bought into it. If we lose that, that’s so highly retrogressive.”

Mary Giuliano, City of Fernie director, wanted clarification about what’s expected for the newspaper industry in the program.

“Our local newspaper (Fernie Free Press) has a concern with being designated that they are now producers of paper,” Giuliano said. “They’ve

approached our council with a letter wanting our support. We have not acted on it, however, I would like clarification of why you believe they think this program could be the end of the newspaper that has served Fernie for over 110 years.”

Langdon said it’s not a decision by MMBC to classify newspapers as a producer, but a result of the provincial recycling regulations. He said newspapers representatives have not as yet joined MMBC, though he noted newspapers were a part back at the birth of MMBC back in 2011. The newspapers left in 2012 to explore other options.

“They had until Nov. 19, 2012, to submit a stewardship plan,” he said. “They did not submit a stewardship plan. I am sympathetic to the plight of the newspaper

industry in terms of their financial situation, but unfortunately it’s something that’s outside my purview.”.

He said in Ontario for instance the municipal governments are subsidizing newspapers to the tune of $16 million a year. And similar things are happening in Manitoba as well.

He said there hasn’t been any movement for something like that to happen in this province.

MMBC’s board is made up of paying members from a number of multinational corporations, including Tim Hortons, Loblaw, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Proctor and Gamble, and Unilever.

Wayne Stetski, City of Cranbrook director and mayor, asked what suggestion Langdon would have to make things better.

He replied the only

thing he would have recommended is that MMBC should have more time. He said municipalities pressured the province to keep on the course, since delaying it an extra year would have meant missing out on MMBC funding for that year. He gave no indication which municipalities those were.

“One of the challenges of the program, and I won’t undersell it, is that we’re trying to move forward in a standard model,” he said.

That adherence to a standard model was a source of frustration at the meeting.

Director Taft asked why they can’t make an arrangement where MMBC works with the regional district to refine the current yellow bin system to meet the provincial requirements MMBC must adhere to.

Mike Sosnowski, Area A director, furthered the line of thought, asking whether MMBC could buy sorted material from the RDEK if the current program adopted the provincial sorting requirements.

“You seem like the perfect outlet,” Sosnowski said. “So if we give you the stuff, pay us. Does that model work? I don’t get it. We could do that, and save money on that, but your model’s not offering us that.”

Langdon said what it comes down to is the contracts have been signed with stipulations that it be standardized across the province.

Board asks for walkway From Page 3 But Mike Sosnowski, Area A director, said it seemed like the board was getting the brush-off on the issue.

“I went and looked; it’s not rocket science. $10,000 could put a canvas cover on wheels. A local contractor could do that in a week,” he said.

Garry Jackman, director of Area A in the Central Kootenay

district, said that a frame constructed with a series of hoops, each larger than the last, with an accordion style canvas cover, would solve the problem and include the stairs into the trailer.

“To me, privacy is as big an issue as anything else. Any kind of screen on the side – even on one side – would cut the wind, which would make it more comfortable, and it would provide

privacy,” said Jackman.

Chair Kettle asked Interior Health to look at the issue again and provide a more detailed response to the board.

“I don’t think you’ve ever given us the brush-off, but we need a better answer than we have right now,” said Kettle.

Local photographer returns from What’s Up? round-the-world adventure KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

UPCOMING

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

A Cranbrook photographer has returned to Cranbrook after finishing a whirlwind tour of 84 different countries as the official photographer on the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour.

Joel Robison left Cranbrook last fall on the trip of a lifetime after landing a dream job with Coca-Cola, the sponsor of the tour.

Over nine months, Robison journeyed around the world accompanying the World Cup trophy to almost every continent, including more than 20 Caribbean islands, 12 Asian countries, and 16 stops in Europe.

He landed back in Cranbrook last week for a short stay until midJune, when he will travel to Brazil, for the World Cup, working on a grassroots football program run by Coca-Cola in 60 countries.

“We will be inviting over 120 young football players from 24 countries to Sao Paolo to participate in a week long football skills camp and will be taking them to see the opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup! I will be resuming my role as photographer and social media lead on this project and will be helping a team of photographers and the players themselves tell their own individual stories through photographs and social media,” said Joel.

But first, Joel has a few weeks to reflect on his experience and appreciate how travel has changed him.

“I think that we are fortunate in Cranbrook to grow up with a strong sense of community and togetherness that sometimes gets lost in bigger cities. Coming from a smaller town gave me a chance to see the world as such – a community where we are more alike than different and gave me a chance to see those in each country for who they were,” he said.

“There were a lot of times when we were in cities of 10, 15, 20 million where I felt totally overwhelmed and it was incredible to know that in one city there were

Young soccer players in Japan wait excitedly to see the FIFA World Cup Trophy. that many people. But it was exciting to see how even in those cities, there were things that united people there to people in other places.”

Joel’s first steps in photography were shot in Cranbrook Community Forest, and he said he missed those forays into nature during the tour.

“I really missed the connection to nature that we are so fortunate to have here. It was difficult to get out and feel that renewal that I personally get when I’m outside in the Community Forest or on the North Star Trail. I missed the little things like cinnamon buns from Max’s Place and the familiarity that ‘home’ has, but I knew that those things would be there when I came back.”

Over the course of his nine-month experience, Joel has collected a bunch of memories that will stay with him forever.

“I think that my life changed for the better,” he said. “Each of the places we went to left an imprint in my mind and heart and the people who shared their stories, their lives and their countries with us helped me to feel more connected to the world and to myself.”

He remembers meeting a young orphan in Haiti who was brought to see the trophy. The little boy took a liking to

Joel and stuck with him for the afternoon.

“He asked a lot of questions about my camera, about Canada and then suddenly out of nowhere told me, ‘I have no sister, no brother, no father and no mother. And it’s sad, really sad.’ My heart broke and I just didn’t even know what to do. His face and his story have hung in my mind every day since and have been a constant reminder to be more compassionate, to give back and to appreciate what I have.”

The scariest experience was in Palestine, he said, when the crew had to be evacuated from their hotel room as tear gas and shots were fired over the wall between Israel and Palestine.

“Getting grabbed and basically thrown inside a random car was the first time I thought that maybe I could actually be in trouble during this trip,” said Joel.

He said that he saw joy in thousands of faces during the tour in every country he visited.

“Genuine happiness was something that I saw in every single place we went to. Whether it was happiness being around the trophy, happiness at seeing the (Coca-Cola) plane, happiness while being with friends or just happiness to be in the sunshine, it was such a great feeling to walk around each

As well as the touching stories, Joel picked up some mementoes from around the world – some by accident, such as about 20 electronic hotel keys, and some on purpose, such as currency from almost every country he visited, and a pen he bought in Bosnia that was made from a bullet found on the street during the war in Sarajevo.

This summer, budding Cranbrook photographers will have the opportunity to learn from Joel during a free workshop. Along with three fellow photographers from across North America, Joel will travel Canada and the U.S. this summer teaching a series of photography workshops. The Cranbrook event will be held in August; visit www. thewildonestour.com for more information closer to the date.

Research into retirement’s joys While I was pre-occupied with the onerous work of shopping for groceries, I was accosted by a relatively young man who announced that he was about to retire. “Your mortgage paid up, and your credit cards?” I asked; he explained that he had that all sorted but his statement made me inquisitive and so, as is my wont, I asked around.

The following statements are not quotes. They are what I recall about the conversations that I had.

GEORGE: Rita and I had our mortgages and other debts all paid up so, when I pulled the plug and sold the business, we took off to the Caribbean and bought a yacht. We were going to spend our retirement cruising warm seas, but after two years, we sold that ‘hole in the ocean into which we had been pouring money’ and came home. Both of us were bored to tears and Rita told me I was becoming an alcoholic. We started up the present business.

DORIS: I thought it was going to be fun when I retired but, after a few months of being home with Archie, I had regrets.

Only one of a couple should retire, otherwise you’re in each other’s face all the time.

MATTHEW: They say that work ex-

pands to fit the time available to do it and that’s the way it is when you retire. At first you do very little, then you get bored, then you take on more hobbies, volunteer work even and, before you know it, you need to retire from retirement.

FRED: We both were school teachers, Naomi and I. We were used to being together day in and day out for eight weeks in Peter the summer so, at first, redidn’t bother us.

Warland tirement However, I was in the dentist’s office the other day and a woman was yipping away to the receptionist about her husband not wanting to retire. By the look on the receptionist’s face, she too knew why the poor fellow was hesitating about leaving his job; when you both retire, you’ve got to learn to modify your behaviour before all hell breaks loose.

JACQUELINE: For me retirement is impossible. I don’t have enough saved up and no pension save the government O.A.P. and C.P.P., and they’re not very much, I hear. I’ll keep working, trying to keep up until I cash in my chips. That’s a dismal fact of life for me.

HENRY: When I retired, I kept feeling guilty about not working. I am no Christian but I was suffering from the Protestant Work Ethic — a horrible ailment. I went

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

looking for other jobs to do but, gradually, I settled down to almost enjoying myself.

Right now I am so busy, I wouldn’t have time to go to work. That’s a fact.

GEORGINA: Retirement is unnatural. If a person is healthy enough, what she needs to do, especially later in life, is to switch to another job.

JAKE: Joannie and I bought a super camper ready for my retirement (she had quit her job earlier) But, before I even handed in my papers, she died. There was no way I’d be off travelling on my own, so the camper sits there blocking my driveway and I go on working.

CHRIS: I was so pleased for my parents when Dad was able to quit his job. It was killing him and Mom too. But now the pair of them are driving me and Dot (his sister) mad. They keep visiting and staying over for days at a time. I reckon that a visit for two nights is long enough for anyone. Dot says there are times when she could kill them both. I hope she’s kidding but the visits are putting a strain on her marriage.

ME: When I first retired I was confused because the school board didn’t immediately replace me at Mount Baker Secondary School. I thought that it was because I had become irreplaceable but, I found out, it merely was because they couldn’t find out what it was I had been doing there for thirty years.

Wildstone Jr. Knights set to take to the golf battlefield FOR THE TOWNSMAN/BULLETIN

Wildstone Golf Course is set to welcome Junior Knights to the roundtable as part of an innovative junior golf program designed to make it easy and affordable for youngsters and teens to take up the game.

Following in the footsteps of the legendary Black Knight, Gary Player, whose team at Black Knight Design, created one of the most stunning battlegrounds in Canada, Wildstone is prepared to lead the charge when it comes to growing the game.

The spectacular resort-styled course in Cranbrook is hoping to be invaded by young golfers in the coming weeks and throughout the summer as it launches the Wildstone Junior Knights Golf Team.

“We’re looking to create a non-structured, flexible program so young players and teens can frequent Wildstone and feel like they are part of a team,” says Chris Andrews, the GM at Wildstone. “We’d like them to be able to come out and meet up with other junior golfers who are developing a passion for the game

and let them grow and play together in groups.”

For a $60 fee to join the Wildstone Junior Knights Golf Team, kids receive a team t-shirt, a lesson from Head Professional Dave Linardic, a 10-bucket range card, and entry into a Junior Knights tournament. Junior Knights are also eligible for a special walk-on team rate of $9 for nine holes or $18 for 18 holes any day after 12 noon. A $29 junior rate applies to all advanced tee time bookings for juniors and players aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult, who doesn’t necessarily have to play.

“We’re encouraging, grandparents, families, young golfers, teens and their friends to enjoy learning and playing the game of golf at Wildstone by creating an experience that is fun and affordable for youngsters and teens,” Linardic says.

There is no set schedule. Junior Knights play any time after 12 noon seven days a week and they will be welcomed to come out before that to work on improving their games on the range and practice putting area. “We hope to

see them bringing out their friends, encouraging each other, growing as a group and pushing each other to learn and play better,” Andrews adds.

All Wildstone Junior Knights team members will receive a golf lesson that will focus on proper golf course etiquette, how to practice properly and the basics of the golf swing and putting. They will be asked to sign a creed committing to respecting the game and facilities to become official members of the Wildstone Roundtable.

Head Professional Dave Linardic offers a variety of engaging programs, clinics and camps for young golfers including; the popular SNAG (Starting New at Golf) program for kids just getting into the game, Level 1 and Level 2 Junior Camps, the Black Knight Teen Camp and Girls at Wildstone 101.

All juniors play for free after 5 p.m. at Wildstone with a paid adult.

For more information about junior programs and the Wildstone Junior Knights Team please contact Head Professional Dave Linardic at 250-489-1282.

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Wildstone Golf Course in Cranbrook is launching its Junior Knights program to help grow the game of golf among youngsters.

Casey, Lowry sound like they may be sticking with Raptors ASSOCIATED PRESS

A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey has agreed to a new threeyear contract.

The agreement was reached on Monday, one day after the Raptors lost Game 7 to the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The person requested anonymity because the team has not announced the deal.

Casey led the Raptors to a surprising 48-34 record and the Atlantic Division title in his third

season with the team.

His job status was tenuous when the season began after general manager Masai Ujiri was hired away from Denver. But the Raptors’ performance helped convince Ujiri that Casey was the right man for the job.

Meanwhile, Kyle Lowry wouldn’t commit to returning to the Toronto Raptors, but it certainly sounds like that’s his plan.

Lowry met with the media the morning after the Raptors lost to the Brooklyn Nets 104-103 in Game 7 of their open-

ing-round playoff series.

The loss eliminated Toronto from the playoffs.

Lowry, who becomes a free agent on July 1, called this season the best of his career, and says he’s never been on a team with this kind of chemistry.

All of Lowry’s teammates that met with the media said they want the point guard to remain in Toronto.

The Raptors also said they want Dwane Casey to return as coach. Casey’s contract expires at the end of this season.

Not sure about the whole

digital NOW thing? is the time to get with it!

The Cranbrook Outlaws were hard at work this weekend with regular season play at the Western Financial Place against Brooks (Alberta). The Midget team remains undefeated, and the Bantams fought hard against the Brooks squad, but Brooks prevailed in both games.

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 32-year-old son is currently traveling overseas on business. He is staying at a hotel, but he visited my sister’s house to see his aunt and his grandma, who live near his place of business. My niece and her husband also came by to see my son. My son spent a few hours napping in my niece’s old bedroom and then left for the hotel.

Two days later, my son got a call at 2 a.m. from his aunt asking whether he had found a ring in his bag, because her daughter said she left her ring on the makeup table in her old room. Mind you, she didn’t notice it was missing for two days. And while my son was in her room, he left his bag in the living room.

So I guess my sister is accusing my son of stealing the ring. My son denied taking the ring and was very upset and angry. He is still overseas, and I don’t want to discuss this with him now and disturb his business appointments. My son has never had problems stealing as far as we know. He lives in L.A. and is financially secure.

What is the best approach to this situation?

Should I just pay the value of the ring to my sister? Should we wait until my son comes back and ask what happened? -- Upset Mom in USA Dear Mom: Yes, please wait until your son comes back. You don’t seem 100-percent certain that he didn’t take the ring. And of course, it’s equally possible that your niece put the ring somewhere else, doesn’t recall doing so and believes your son took it.

Things are misplaced all the time, and others are often blamed. Tell your sister you will speak to your son as soon as he returns and work it out. If you believe he is responsible for the ring, ask how much it would cost to replace it. If you think your son is innocent, you could offer to split the cost for the sake of family harmony. The price of the ring is less important than the relationship with your sister.

Dear Annie: I was recently in the emergency room and then admitted to the critical care unit for three days in danger of bleeding out. I remained in the hospital for an additional three days.

What hurts more than the illness is that not a single person from my family, including my parents and eight siblings, called or visited me. The hospital is close to them, and part of the time I was there, it was a weekend, and they weren’t working.

Was I expecting too much? Wouldn’t any decent person call to express concern for a hospitalized family member? It certainly changes how I feel about them. -- Sick at Heart Dear Sick: Of course your family members should have expressed their concern.

But did they know? Sometimes, we assume people are aware that we are sick or hospitalized, but they don’t find out until you’ve been home for a week. Please call your parents and siblings. Ask why they seemed so indifferent to your situation. Let them know how much it hurt you. We hope things can be mended.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “A Wife” regarding job applications was spot on, especially when you said, “Be sure to include a cover letter.”

When I owned my own business, I would not consider an applicant’s resume without a cover letter. Only once did I disregard this rule and hired a person whose qualifications were exactly what I was looking for. She quit a month later, saying she was bored. I should have known, because she was not motivated enough to write a cover letter in the first place. A few years later, she contacted me and asked for her job back. I declined. -Paco from Albany, N.Y. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Wildsight presents Planning Your Garden workshops F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

for software design.

“There will be plenty of opportunity to get hands-on experience learning how to build lasagna garden beds and no-dig potato beds” added Wildsight’s Jessica Windle.

The intent of this series of workshops is to make edible gardening in this area more accessible and enjoyable for all. It follows the growing season, offering timely advice throughout the growing season.

“Yes, our growing climate comes with some challenges, but really, so does anywhere,” said Windle, “We still have a rich history of backyard gardening, including tomatoes and other hot weather lovers. Once you get started with growing your own food, it’s hard to stop!”

Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook and the Cranbrook Food Action Committee are teaming up again this growing season to bring the Edible Gardening Workshop Series to both Kimberley and Cranbrook. The planning workshop will run from 6:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13, in Kimberley and Wednesday, May 14, in Cranbrook.

“Start the gardening season off right and plan your edible garden so that you can eat the rewards all summer and fall!” said CFAC’s Shannon Duncan.

Planning techniques explored will include creating a flexible garden map, permaculture design, companion planting, and options

More and more food gardens are popping up in backyards around Kimberley and Cranbrook these days. If you’ve caught the gardening bug and need a little planning help to make the most of your backyard garden or if you want to start gardening but don’t know where to start, you’ll want to join in on the first of this year’s Edible Gardening Workshop Series.

Planning your Garden, the first in a series of three workshops over the growing season, will teach you how to make the most of your food garden space with smart planning. Whether you are starting from scratch, rearranging your garden space, or just want to make the most of what you have, you’ll come away from the workshop with new ideas and inspired to grow. The workshop will cover several ap-

Two international conservation groups have concluded that protecting the breeding grounds of waxwings, warblers and woodpeckers will mean preserving at least half the vast, untouched forest that stretches across the northern end of most provinces.

“Once people hear the story, they’re quite captivated by it,’’ said Jeff Wells of the Boreal Songbird Initiative, one of the sponsors of a report released Sunday.

“The idea that this bird in your backyard, especially in a big city, is actually going to go from this urban environment to one of the last big wilderness areas left on Earth, is kind of a cool idea.’’

But the new research on 300 species of songbirds that nest in the boreal adds weight to the preservation target of 50 per cent, or about three million square kilometres, of forest between Yukon and Newfoundland and Labrador, Wells said. Unlike seabirds, songbirds don’t nest in concentrated colonies and need large, undisturbed areas to keep their numbers up.

Between one billion and three billion songbirds are estimated to migrate between the boreal and their winter ranges throughout North and South America, the report says.

Currently, about 70 per cent of the area is untouched and pristine. That gives Canada a unique chance to balance economic development and conservation before conflicts arise, suggested Smith.

“Instead of many other places in the world, where you’re managing for endan-

gered species, we have the unique ability to manage for abundance and to preserve some of the great values that the boreal forest provides, along with extracting those resources,’’ he said.

“It’s a balance of protection and sustainable development. One of the main things we need to have is healthy northern communities.’’

The goal of protecting 50 per cent of the forest will be a challenge, Wells admits.

About 12 per cent of the boreal has currently received final approval for protection.

“It’s something that is going to take decades,’’ he said.

But it will be worth it.

“To have one place with these huge global linkages, sending out billions of birds that go all around the world and have huge impacts in every one of these nations — ecologically, economically — it’s a special feature of the boreal.’’
