Prominent business changing hands Dawn Torgerson taking over Nutter’s from Denise Pallesen
SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
There has been a changing of the guard at Nutter’s Bulk and Natural Foods, but customers may not notice a big difference as the previous and new owners have a similar philosophy to small business. Denise Pallesen, who has owned and run the franchise in Cranbrook for the past 17 years,
sold the store to Dawn Torgerson, who also owns Cranbrook Home Hardware with her husband Martin, on May 1. “I’m really excited to have Martin and Dawn take over the store, and especially knowing that Dawn is going to take over the store hands-on, because she has the kind of personality that I think will do very well in the store; my staff

already really like her and respect her,” said Denise. “She just has the desire to do really well and she cares about the people who come in. I feel very confident leaving it in her hands, because it’s been my baby for 17 years. So I want to make sure that it continues.”

Out from the trout spout Fisheries’ stocking program begins in local lakes ARNE PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff
On Tuesday afternoon, fish culturist Chad Fritz stood in water up to his waste in Jimsmith Lake holding a large diameter water pipe, live fish and water gushing out the end. The long pipe extended from the back of the Kootenay Fish Hatchery truck and the rainbow trout shooting into
the lake each measured about 25 centimetres. “These are just over a year,” Owen Schoenburger, assistant manager at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, said of the trout. “They are classified as spring catchable. They are about 15 months old.”

Deer feeding prohibition still in effect Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
They’re out there on your lawns and in your bushes, begging for food with their big wide eyes and cute fawns, but there is a city bylaw that prohibits the feeding of those furry urban-dwelling ungulates. The intentional feeding of deer in the city means to provide deer with food by leaving food, like a bale of hay or a bag of apples, out for the sole purpose of feeding the deer milling about town. “We just want to let people know about the fawning season, but (at) this time people are starting to plant gardens too,” said Chris Zettel, Cranbrook corporate communications officer. “So we just let people know that deliberately feeding deer is still a no-no according to the bylaws.” Fruit and vegetable gardens that are for your own consumption are not prohibited as long as they are not grown to feed the deer. The prohibition also does not apply to farm operations or ornamental plants and flowers. Violators of the deer feeding bylaw can be fined on an escalating fine schedule that begins at $100 for first offence, $200 for second and $500 for third offence. To take a look at the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw 3709, 2010, visit the City’s website at www. cranbrook.ca. The document is located under “Bylaws & Council Information” then “Bylaws”.
Fire services willing to sacrifice equipment to finish training facility Arne Petryshen
To finish the Fire Services Training Centre, Cranbrook’s fire department is willing to forego some equipment on a new water truck, at least until the budget can be balanced out. Fire and Emergency Services recommended that council approve the adjustment of the department’s training budget from $375,000 to $415,700 at the April 28 council meeting. The adjustment was needed as city staff noted it found that, after final approval of the 2013-2018 Five Year Capital Budget, materials and labour for a section of the building was not incorporated into the final budget. The project is a joint venture between a local contractor and the City’s Public Works staff. Staff noted that a misunderstanding between the two parties on the material and labour for the first floor level lead to a budget shortfall of $20,500 and additional engineering fees of $10,210. On top of that, the City’s fire services have added an additional $10,000 contingency for the project. “The water truck can be stripped down in order to facilitate the savings,” explained Charlotte Osborne, director of finance and computer services for the City. “And then the truck could be built back up should the costs not be required for the training centre.” The budget for the fully outfitted water truck was $400,000, she said. The truck would eventually have to be outfitted again. Coun. Diana J. Scott said it was a really creative solution by the fire department. “I think this training centre, we all agree, is a pretty important project,” Scott said, adding that they should follow through with it.

Lake stocking begins Continued from page 1
The released fish swim around confused at their new surroundings. Some flop onto the land and have to be put back into the water, while others look as if they don’t know where to go. Slowly the hundreds of fish disperse to find adventure and snacks in deeper waters. This week, the fish hatchery stocked Jimsmith Lake with 1,000 rainbow trout. Those will add to the 2,400 that were let free in the lake back in the fall of 2013. Prior to that, Jim smith had not been stocked since 2002. The rainbow trout that were put in the lake are Fraser Valley spring cachables, explained Shoenburger. They are a sterile strain that don’t reproduce. “The majority of the fish we stock are non-reproducing,” he said. “It’s mainly to protect any wild stocks. These can’t breed with them.” These fish put all of their energy into growth, unlike fish that reproduce, which later in life divert their energy into breeding. Later in the summer, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) will assess the fish population in the lake to see how it’s fairing. The fish released in the fall were marked by the hatchery, while this batch was not, so the ministry will be able to tell how the former batch is doing. He said Jimsmith was not stocked with trout for a number of years because of a presence of perch and bass, but the ministry now wants to attempt to create a population of rainbow trout in the lake. He said it was felt that the trout couldn’t compete with the perch and the bass that were in the lake, but that notion has changed. The fish hatchery is a part of Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, which was created back in 2003. It is North

Chad Fritz, one of the Kootenay Trout Hatchery’s senior fish culturists holds up a pipe as rainbow trout are jettisoned from the trucks into the Jimsmith Lake on Tuesday, May 6. The hatchery released 1,000 rainbow trout into the lake, and other lakes are being stocked in the area as well. America’s only private, non-profit fisheries service funded by fishing licence revenues. The Kootenay Fish Hatchery is one of five freshwater fish hatcheries managed by the society. Every year the hatcheries raise and release over eight million trout, char and kokanee salmon, as well as managing recovery programs for endangered species like white sturgeon.
Leanne Jones, office manager at the local hatchery, said the hatchery stocks about half a million fish around the East Kootenay. Jones said they stock cutthroat trout, brook trout and Kokanee salmon. Sometimes lakes are stocked to top up winter kill and sometiems it’s to compete with perch or bass that are in the body of water, she explained.
Those 25-centimetre long rainbow trout that were dropped off in Jimsmith will likely grow to 35 to 40 centimetres by the fall. “In good production lakes those fish will be about a pound,” she said. This year, they have already stocked many lakes in the area, including Norbury, New Lake, Northstar, Moyie, Premier Lake, Wapitee and
a number of others. They stock some 100 lakes in the area. Some of those stocks are catchable size, while some are younger ,smaller fry. Jones said the hatcheries get information from FLNRO on which lakes to stock based on angler demand and the fish population. Prior to 2003, the hatcheries were under the provincial government.

Torgerson takes over Nutter’s ownership Continued from page 1 For her part, Dawn said she respects the values Denise has used to build up the store. “Denise’s beliefs are very much the same as ours. Community is huge, family is huge, product is huge as far as that you can depend on it,” said Dawn. “I’m just delighted that I could find someone that has the same mix and who is in it for her employees – that’s really huge to me.” Nutter’s Bulk and Natural Foods began in Medicine Hat in 1982 and began franchising in 1984. The Cranbrook store opened in 1995, two years before Denise bought it. The previous owner unfortunately went bankrupt and Denise, who has a background in office administration, made a quick decision to shift her career. After learning the store was due to be liquidated, Denise spoke to the landlord, who gave her a week to get her offer together. She took out a line of credit on her home mortgage, visited Nutter’s head office, and within two weeks, in 1997, she owned the store. “I went to the bank and they said, ‘Why do you think you can do this?’ I was just fuming mad. I said, ‘Why do you think I can’t? What do you think is wrong with me that I can’t make this work?’” It took many years of hard work, but she quickly made the store what it is today. “I didn’t know anything. It was just pure guts,” said Denise. “Had I done a business plan, it would have been a big risk. It took five years before I could take a week off.” She began thinking in the past few years about retiring, aware that selling a business often takes about two years. Dawn heard about Denise’s plans, and spoke to her husband about it. “I happened to mention it to my husband, who is a bit of a character. I said, ‘Denise is looking at maybe retiring, it might be something for us to look into,’” said Dawn. “He took it upon himself to just come right out and ask her.” After that initial conversation, it took only five
months for the sale to be finalized. Now, Denise is handing over the store to Dawn, who plans to manage the business full-time and continue her work with Home Hardware outside those hours. Denise, who is also a Cranbrook city councillor, will stay on part-time until the end of June, when she will begin to wind down her public life. “I have a couple of motorcycle trips planned, and spending more time with my kids and grandkids. After that, I don’t know. I don’t want to commit to anything. I’m on council until November and I’m still on the Women’s Enterprise Centre board until September 2015. So I don’t want to take anything on; I just want down time.” Dawn said that, while she is the one who will be in the store each day, her husband and sons who are involved in Home Hardware will also be involved in Nutter’s, the second family business for the Torgersons. Through Nutter’s knowledgeable and approachable staff, Dawn hopes to continue the
store’s good reputation in the community. “I don’t think anybody is going to notice any big change, other than that Denise won’t be there and I will. But I think it will be a slow enough transition and the staff will be staying the same, so (customers) will be very confident because the staff is so knowledgeable. And they care. As they are talking to people, they actually find out what they are trying to do and they say, ‘You could try that, but this is going to be better because I know you are dealing with that as well,’” said Dawn. “It’s just a caring atmosphere,” added Denise, who is pleased that Dawn has the same attitude to business that she does. “I was worried, ‘How am I going to get out of here without destroying the business or closing it down?’ I just didn’t want to go there. So for me it’s a dream that somebody who cares is coming in.” Dawn said the community approach to the business is what attracted her to it. “We’re excited to go forward. We’re excited that it’s Denise and her belief in the community

Those lazy stupid ham butts It wasn’t what you would call the most favorable week for old white racist men. Then again, these weeks, not many are. How bad did it get for ancient intolerant caucasian males? Bowling ball dropped on your little toe from a height of nine feet bad. Brazilian soccer stampede bad. Donald Trump testifying at your rent-hearing bad. First, Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who patriotically refuses to pay grazing rights on government land, tried to stretch his 15 minutes of fame a few microseconds too long, expanding his realm of influence into the field of behavioral sciences by buttonholing a New York Times reporter: “I want to tell you what I know about the Negro.” He proceeded to execute a wonderful performance piece from a 1870s traveling minstrel show. Al Jolson would have been proud. But, alas, the grizzled xenophobe denied any ironic context and the hemming and hawing that followed would have kept sewing circles in the state of Iowa busy for month. Even his posse of right wing militia supporters disappeared like dew on the sun. Then, Donald Sterling, owner of the
Los Angeles Clippers, was acknowledged to be the voice of an audio recording so racist, it made Mr. Bundy sound like the recipient of an NAACP Lifetime Achievement Award. An award about to be bestowed on the exact same NBA owner of which we speak. For the 2nd time. You can’t make stuff up like this. Since African-Americans make up 76 percent of professional basketball Will players, and figure promiDurst nently in the marketing and as consumers, you could say the NBA’s brand new commissioner, Adam Silver, (yes, it’s a SterlingSilver thing) was encouraged to take swift action. You could also say carpet tacks make lousy dessert topping. He banned the team’s owner from attending any games or entering any Clipper facility or participating in any business decisions of the Clippers or NBA. For life. Hope the guy lives to be 110. He’s even prohibited from using the word clippers. From now on, the Sterling household will only stock nail- trimmers and beard- scissors in their medicine cabinet. “Remember Shelly, it’s my money holder. Not a clip.” For life.

black/white thing is plain ridiculous? Nobody’s white. If we were actually white, we’d scare the bejesus out of each other. People would take to carrying around garlic and crosses and wooden stakes to wave and stab. Even albinos are an offwhite. Beige. Tawny. Ecru. Eggshell. Desert Stone. And if you ever run into anybody who’s the same hue as that flesh colored Crayon in the big box of 88, be afraid. Be very afraid. Conversely, no one’s truly black. If they were really black, they’d be absorbing light and we’d keep bumping into each other. Hell, the NBA Finals would be a blur. “And there’s David Lee and a bunch of other guys. I have no idea what’s going on. It’s up. It’s in. Yes!” Although some founding fathers found support for their exclusionary views in the Bible, prejudice has always been hard to rationalize. Pre- schoolers know that if you take the time to get to know someone, you’ll discover a thousand reasons to loathe and despise them. On an individual basis. Prejudice people are just plain lazy.

Lake flooding
Just what is happening with Elizabeth Lake? When I left for a trip to the UK two weeks ago the lake was already experiencing some major flooding issues. On my return two days ago I had anticipated seeing this problem solved. I was very surprised to see things were no better and now the level was at a height equal to, or greater than, when I had left. I also made the wrong assumption that the City would have put a notice in the Townsman letting the citizens know what was going on and what the plan was to solve the problem. A check of the two weeks’ worth of papers quickly showed no information had been released by the City. A check of the City webpage also showed that the City hadn’t used their own media to let us know what is going on. On my visit to the flooded area I found three large pumps attempting to get some of the water past a culvert under Wattsville Street. I am not an engineer but it was very clear to me that the level of water on the southern end of the culvert was considerably higher than the level of water on the northern end. Science tells me that if there is free flow of water between the two ends of the culvert then the water levels should be equal. To my uneducated eye it certainly appears that the culvert is not doing its job successfully and this has led to the rise in water in Elizabeth Lake. It appears that this culvert is causing a bottleneck to the flow of water by being plugged, being partially plugged, being collapsed or just plain undersized. It looks as though the City agrees with this theory as they are attempting to pump down the lake water, bypassing this culvert in the process. I imagine the citizens are putting good tax money into the fuelilng and renting of these three large pumps which appear to be somewhat ineffectual at attaining their intended result. I have to ask the questions … what is the problem with this particular culvert, and what long-term plan does the city have to solve this prob-

lem? If the solution is to clean or replace the culvert, why has the City not chosen to do it now when it would be most beneficial? The road is already closed to traffic and a fix could prevent further flooding scenarios in the future. The historic record shows that Smith Creek followed a path above ground from the area of Elizabeth Lake to join Joseph Creek and in the process virtually cut the town in half. In 1929 the City Fathers recognized it was a problem and purchased a pipe-making machine, set it up in the skating rink, and went on to produce a total of 4,900 feet of 30 inch concrete pipe and thus moved the creek underground. If the City in 1929 is able to achieve this major feat, surely we should be able to solve a few metres of culvert problem under Wattsville Street? What is perhaps more important was that the Council in the 1930s kept the citizens well informed as to the piping process. Our present Council appears unwilling to let us know what is going on. The locals living by the lake tell me they warned the city that there appeared to be a problem with this culvert WELL before there was actually any flooding taking place. So please tell us what’s going on and what solution the City plans on putting into place. David Humphrey Cranbrook
Transport system can handle bitumen
Re: Columns by David Black, ‘The greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime’ (April 22) and ‘The Kitimat refinery proposal: safe pipelines, light fuels and B.C. jobs’ (April 23). Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time. The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and ensure producers, transportation companies and spill-responders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an incident. Black’s articles incorrectly suggested the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of its chemical properties. Fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets – in Canada, the United States and internationally – to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study. And diluted bitumen – oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow – is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil. Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bitumen meets all the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils. Oil floats on water if it has an API grav-
ity above water’s 10 degree API gravity. Diluted bitumen has an API gravity of 20-22 degrees. Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the surface by waves or currents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way. There have been several scientific studies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated diluted bitumen floats on salt water – even after evaporation and exposure to light. The study was commissioned by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a world-class prevention, preparedness and response regime for marine transportation. Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research. Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science. As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation providers to deliver safe services in a responsible manner. Greg Stringham Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Calgary
Daffodils
On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, I would like to thank the community of Kimberley, Ta Ta Creek and Wasa for supporting Daffodil Month during April. Every three minutes, another Canadian is faced with a cancer battle. It’s likely the disease has affected almost everyone in this area, be it a personal diagnosis or that of a loved one. By wearing the daffodil pin in April, residents of Kimberley collectively stood together to show people living with cancer they are not alone in the fight. With the support of our volunteers, donors and community partners, the Canadian Cancer Society is leading the charge in the fight against all cancers – of which there are more than 200 different types. Each and every day, we are working hard to accomplish our mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those living with the disease. We do this by funding the most promising cancer research, offering vital support to those living with cancer, and trying to prevent cancer in the first place by educating Canadians about early detection and advocating for healthy public policies. Thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers, we anticipate the Daffodil Month has raised almost $1,500. In BC this initiative will raise $5 million, which will have a substantial and important impact in our fight for life. The Canadian Cancer Society’s continued impact in the fight for life would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners in Kimberley, Ta Ta Creek and Wasa. We are very grateful for your support and wish to thank you for joining us in the fight for life. Together, we can change cancer forever. Dona Bannenberg Volunteer Canadian Cancer Society

Fans urged to get behind Canadian women when they face U.S. in soccer S cot t Edmon ds Canadian Press
WINNIPEG — Some played together in college, others may have played on the same professional teams, but Thursday evening those friendships get pushed aside as Canada once again tries to beat the United States in women’s soccer. It’s something the Canadians haven’t managed since 2001 but this time they’ll have a home crowd edging close to 30,000 to cheer them on at Investors Group Field, the home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “It’s a game that Canada won’t dominate,’’ Canadian coach John Herdman said Wednesday after their final practice before the game. “We’re not going to have 700 shots and 700 crosses, so the fans have got to be ready to
really get behind us when we need (them). We know these games are always tough tight games, hopefully.’’ In club and varsity soccer, Canadians and Americans play side-by-side. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair, for example, is an attack partner of American star Alex Morgan on Portland Thorns FC of the National Women’s Soccer League. But internationally it’s a different story as the neighbouring countries have developed a strong rivalry. Canada is ranked seventh in the world in women’s soccer and the U.S. sits at No. 1, but American midfielder Lauren Holiday suggests those numbers don’t necessarily reflect the way things play out on the field. “Every game is such a battle, you never know who’s
going to win,’’ says Holiday. “Every time we play them it’s such a fierce competition that . . . anything can happen.’’ The rivalry intensified after Canada’s semifinal loss to the United States at the last Olympics. The U.S. team went on to win gold but Canada won the bronze medal, an event which has meant a lot for women’s soccer. Herdman says the country now needs to do more capitalize on the strong base of players now developing across Canada. “We’ve got the third largest playing population in the world and we can’t produce a consistent podium team.’’ He says there are 350,000 girls playing soccer in Canada, compared with just 30,000 in perennial contender Japan. This game is just a friendly
but it will give both national teams another chance to see how they stack up against a top tier opponent prior to next year’s Women’s World Cup. For both Herdman and interim head U.S. coach Jill Ellis, this is very much about preparing for the World Cup. “I think for our players it’s just a great opportunity to play against a quality opponent,’’ said Ellis, U.S. Soccer’s director of development who took over when Tom Sermanni was fired last month. “I’m just hoping the crowd now will get a real sense of what’s coming in 2015,’’ said Herdman. “This country will stop at some point. This team will make the country stop and everyone will tune in. It’s just going to be an amazing experience for women’s sport.’’
Menopause is not a disease, it is a natural process that may require some therapeutic support. A common medication given for menopause is hormone replace therapy (HRT). Women report that they still have symptoms, like hot flashes, years later even after being on this treatment and that could be because it is not individually assessing the underlying hormonal imbalance that may be occurring. If not used appropriately, hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of blood clots and breast cancer, however, it may help to prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease and may be necessary in some women. Bio-identical hormones are an alternative to conventional HRT that are biochemically identical to the hormones that the body produces. These can be made into a custom formula to treat the exact imbalance that is occurring in the body. Not all women experience a hormone imbalance related to a lower amount of estrogen. In some cases progesterone, cortisol and testosterone may also be out of balance. Salivary hormone testing is a great way to identify hormone imbalances and specifically treat what is happening in each individual woman’s body. Salivary hormones can be a more accurate representation of which hormones are actually getting into the tissues and not just what is transiently in the blood. Naturopathic medicine can help support women during this time and help prevent and reduce symptoms. It has been shown that increasing exercise causes a decrease in symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes. It is also important to reduce alcohol, caffeine and smoking as these all increase symptoms. Adding ground flaxseeds and organic soy to the diet daily can help manage symptoms especially hot flashes. Flaxseeds offer fiber which can benefit the digestive system, help lower cholesterol and detoxify hormones. Soy can be a very polarizing topic, but a recent study showed soy to have a protective effect against the recurrence of breast cancer and research consistently shows soy to be beneficial in hormone balancing if added to the diet in moderation. Soy is a complete protein source which means it offers all the amino acids or building blocks that are needed for proper cellular function. Examples of soy products are soy beans, tofu, soy milk, edamame and tempeh. It is important for soy to be organic as it is heavily sprayed with pesticides as well as it being a crop that is highly genetically modified. Soy is also not for everyone as some people can have a food sensitivity to it. These are only a few very simple diet and lifestyle treatments that can be effective and there are many other supplements and herbs that have been studied showing benefits in menopause. If you are interested in these treatments, testing or other herbal medicines that could help with your menopausal symptoms please consult with a Naturopathic physician or book an appointment with us today.

up everything, even his job. When the bluff was at its height, word was sent to a fairy whose chilly indifference had brought about the situation, to come at once if she would see her admirer before death claimed him as his own. Promptly came back the reply, “Tell him to die and go to — ”. The emetic and the reply were too much. The bluff had been called, and the player threw up his hand. It was a bobtail. Baker Street Upgrade … C. M. Edwards, acting townsite agent, will commence at once to improve Baker Street. It is to be levelled, cleared of loose rocks, and cleaned up in good shape. Crossings are to be put in, and a walk built from the corner at the Cranbrook Hotel to the railway station. A sidewalk will also be built east from G. H. Miner’s to the East Kootenay Hotel. Bicycles … Bicycles are all the rage now, and there will soon be enough in town to form a respectable sized bicycle club.

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives. 1898 New Footbridge … A bridge has been constructed over the creek crossing Baker Street near Garden Avenue, and the improperly ballasted pedestrian no longer fears the consequences of an attempt to cross. Local Brick … J. H. McMullin has everything nearing completion in his yards for the manufacture of brick, but will have to await the coming of more favourable weather before commencing operations. Frosty nights are not conducive to the successful production of brick. 1899 A Dizzy Bluff ... One day last week Dr. King was hastily summoned to the railway yards to save the life of Bruce Howard, a railway employee, who was reported to be dying from the effects of a liberal dose of carbolic acid. The doctor found the victim in the agonies of death. There were no traces of burns from the acid but the misguided victim of a romantic temperament was given a strong emetic and in a short time had thrown
1900 A Large Hospital To Be Erected … The large, recently built, handsome and modern hospital building at the St. Eugene Mission is to be abandoned— that is closed by the sisters of the Mission and a new one built by them in Cranbrook. This enterprise is now a fact, although the undertaking has been
contemplated for a long time, and has been delayed only as such enterprises are always delayed, for time in which to develop ways, and means for accomplishing the desired end. It seems a great pity that the fine hospital buildings at the Mission will have to become practically useless for the purposes for which it was designed, but this is only one of many conditions incurred by being unfortunately situated away from the railroad line. A Charter To Be Applied For ... Always push a good thing along. It is proposed to buy about 16 acres of land on the level bench directly west of the passenger station and to construct first-class half mile track, a bicycle track and ball grounds, the whole to be well fenced, have grand stands, judges’ stands, refreshment booths, stabling, dressing rooms and all necessary buildings for the purpose. Water from a spring on the hill further west is to be laid on the ground through pipes, and the erection of a few swings, etc., will make the grounds suitable for picnics and children’s recreation grounds. The success of the project will be of great benefit to the town from a financial point of view, and there can be no doubt that under energetic management the shareholders will secure a good profit from the annual receipts. A Notable Wedding … The Mc-
Farlane-Fletcher wedding and banquet was largely attended by the society devotees of Cranbrook, As announced in the Herald of last week, Walter B. McFarlane and Miss Sadie Fletcher were united in marriage on the evening of Wednesday, May 2. The occasion was one which will long be remembered in Cranbrook. The Methodist church was filled to overflowing with people anxious to get a last glimpse of Miss Sadie Fletcher. The bride was charmingly arrayed and carried herself throughout with a grace and dignity befitting the occasion. Her bridal dress was composed of rich cream brocaded satin, trimmed with orange blossoms and chiffon, mother-of-pearl buckles and a handsome veil which made the picture complete. Miss. Tannis Reid acted as maid of honour, and Miss Eva Steeves as flower-girl. The groom was ably supported by Mr. J. A. Gillis, with Messrs Clarence Miner and Cecil Prest acting as ushers. After a short prayer by Rev. Mr. Coombs the choir sang very beautifully “The Voice that Breathed O’er Eden.” The ceremony was then solemnly proceeded with the ring daintily adjusted, and after another hymn sung by the choir, the joyful throng that had assembled to witness the event were dismissed with the benediction. The march from the
church was really a “march triumphant,” unattended by the usual unpleasant element of rice, old shoes, etc. The bride and groom then received the congratulations of their many friends at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, where a sumptuous spread awaited them. The guests assembled numbered 150.
1901 Two Days Of Sport … Arrangements are being completed for the two days sport that is to take place in Cranbrook on the 27th and 28th, under the management of the Cranbrook Turf & Athletic Association. Messrs. Haines and Peltier, the committee in charge, have been giving their attention to the grounds, and men have been fixing up the track and baseball and football fields. Great interest is being manifested from the outside in both the races and the athletic sports, and every day inquiries are being received at the secretary’s office regarding the various features. There will be large delegations from Moyie, Kimberley, Fort Steele and Fernie and the towns of Nelson, Macleod, Calgary, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat will be largely represented. Nothing is being left undone by the management to make the two days the greatest carnival of sport ever given in South East Kootenay.

INTRODUCING BRITTNY ANDERSON AS WATER SMART AMBASSADOR Cranbrook is pleased to announce the addition of Brittny Anderson as the official Water Smart Ambassador for Cranbrook through into late August 2014.
RESIST THE URGE TO WATER THIS SPRING Delay spring irrigation to promote healthy lawns. A mild spring drought promotes the growth of healthy root systems making your lawn more drought and disease tolerant. A healthy root system means your grass will stay greener for longer and require less water during hot, dry weather conditions.
Anderson will spend the summer months working with residents to help them learn about water conservation and to help residents get the most out of the water they use each summer. “I am delighted to work with the community to reduce overall and more specifically peak water use, which occurs during the summer months,” Anderson says. “Frequently with a few slight changes water conservation can easily become second nature.” New this year will be the availability of free irrigation system assessments for both residential and commercial water customers. The public is encouraged to take advantage of the free assessments. Information about how to sign up for an assessment will be made available in late May.
For more information, please contact: Brittny Anderson, M.Sc. Water Smart Ambassador City of Cranbrook Phone: 250-489-0204 Cell: 250-919-2651 WaterSmart@cranbrook.ca

hen we arrived to Maya Beach, Belize, about 10-ish kilometres from the town of Placenia, we passed through Seine Bight. It is a very small village - I’m told the second Garifuna settlement in Belize. Amongst the roadside signs was one that caught my attention: LOLA’S ART. The next day, I donned two wheels and set out to find Lola. The sign had an arrow, which led to another sign with another arrow. Which lead to a back lane, a small, purple painted bike rack, and an open door. Entering the wooden, dimly lit, rustic space I tentatively called, “Hello? Hello? Anybody home?” A bra-less woman with big glasses sat at a small desk. She was surrounded by pots of colourful paint, she had a paint brush and cigarette in hand. She welcomed me with, “Come in, love.” I was immediately drawn to Lola’s work. Her creations were of beautiful, full-hipped Garifuna women, colourfully clothed,

against Caribbean-green water. They were happy paintings. They spoke of the camaraderie of women. Frogs were not in Lola’s art, however frogs subtly surrounded her. I asked Lola if she liked frogs. She explained frogs were her spirit sign and described that as a young girl her father took her to see her grandfather, a shaman, where she spent a night sleeping in a tree house. After her night’s sleep, her grandfather asked Lola what she’d dreamt of. She told her grandfather, “Frogs and leopards.” Her grandfather asked Lola’s dad if he could raise Lola himself; dreaming of two animals was considered special – she had the ability to become a shaman. Lola smiled and said her dad was not willing to give up his daughter. It was then that I noticed Lola’s leopard-print handbag. In
this simple gallery, Lola was surrounded by herself. Our conversation continued about many things. She laughed when she told me her parents said her first work of art was painted on a wall, using her mother’s lipstick. Lola placed my purchase in a plastic bag, I thanked her and we shook hands. Pedalling down the lane and back onto the highway, I knew my life was richer having met Lola the artist. She openly and genuinely shared moments of her life with me – a complete stranger. In the front basket of my bike sat my new treasure, a small piece of functional art – a key holder with five colourfully clad women. Happy women, just like Lola.

Mother’s Day History Every May women around the world are celebrated for their sacrifices and contributions to the family. With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honoring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a celebration of mothers was instituted. In ancient Greece individuals honored Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering population was celebrated in earnest. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian homemaker who, beginning in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing procedures through wom-
en’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daughter, Ann Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today. Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honor their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until

after they died that these children recognized what they had lost in their parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honor mothers.
Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908 and honored the late Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis. After this initial celebration, Mother’s Day caught on.
In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “honor mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen to declare a national Mother’s Day holiday.
The Mother’s Day International Association was established on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful observances of the event.

Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce Releases Results of “Barriers to Business” Survey
T
oday, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce released its Phase II report summarizing the results of the Barriers to Business survey recently undertaken with a sample of its members. This project is a key part of the Chamber’s on-going advocacy efforts to improve the business climate in Cranbrook and area, and is a follow-up to an
initial survey and report conducted by the Chamber in 2012 that identified a number of concerns regarding the local business climate. “First, I want to sincerely thank our members who agreed to be interviewed and took the time to talk about their experiences in doing business with the City of Cranbrook,” said Dave Butler, Chamber President. “Rather than focusing on individual
experiences, we looked for common themes … areas where experiences were positive or negative. The survey results show us there’s lots of work to do yet to ensure we have a welcoming atmosphere for business,” said Butler. The report includes written summaries of the responses to survey questions, along with numeric assessments of the clarity of processes, timing and costs for do-

‘Urinetown:’ Its power is in its mystery
E
Ba r ry Co ulter
arlier in this 2013/14 theatrical season, Mount Baker Wild drama performed the classic “Our Town.” Tonight, Thursday, May 8, the Wild pass through the looking glass to take on the dark side of our town — “Urinetown.” “Urinetown” is almost an anti-musical — it’s a dark satire, a parody, a hallucinatory “West Side Story.” It is also an enormous amount of fun, a romping good story, a great dark comedy and a fantastic musical. It tackles the subjects of capitalist oppression, revolutionary buffoonry, municipal politics, sustainability (!) and that most unmentionable of subjects — the restroom line-up. We find ourselves in a world suffering from a 20-year drought, where a megacorporation, Urine Good Company (UGC), headed up by the nefarious Caldwell B. Cladwell, controls all water usage. Imagine that — a world where one must pay to relieve oneself in corporate controlled facilities, where going behind the bushes, for example, results in harsh punishment from a gestapo-like police force, controlled, of course, by Cladwell and the UGC, and all his many minions. The punishment? Banishment to Urinetown. What is Urinetown? No one knows for sure — some strange penal colony. “It’s power is in its mystery.” The state government is in cahoots with UGC, of course, so when new extreme urinal fee hikes are legislated, a groundswell of resistance begins, led by our hero Bobby Strong, a young sincere man with freedom on his mind. The forces of oppression, with all its hilarious wickedness, tangle with the forces of resistance, with all their goofy foibles. Their battles are conducted with great music and song and irresistible dance numbers, and focused on who has Cladwell’s daughter Hope in custody. The show is somewhat narrated by Officer Lockstock, who as

Selkirk Music Program has busy spring For the Townsman Bulletin
Fifty students from the Selkirk Secondary Music program traveled to Calgary last week to take in a Calgary Philharmonic Performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and a new work by Stephen Chatman called A Song of Joys. Students were obviously enthralled by the power of Beethoven’s Ninth, and were also moved by the world premiere of Chatman’s beautiful and thrilling new work. Also a choral work, “A Song of Joys,” had several moving adagio sections tempered by thrilling virtuoso drum and percussion solos. Selkirk Music students also performed with the Kimberley Community Band in April, The Kimberley Community Choir in March, workshopped with internationally renowned choral director Sarona Mynhardt in February, and are busily preparing for Legally Blonde this month and the final concert of the season in June. Selkirk’s year-end concert will be held on Wednesday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at McKim Theatre, and admission will be by donation. Band and Choir students have been hard at work revisiting and reinventing familiar material as well as learning new material to present to audiences.

TORONTO — Novelist and naturalist Farley Mowat was fondly remembered Wednesday for captivating generations of schoolchildren with books such as “Owls in the Family’’ and “Never Cry Wolf,’’ and for his legacy as a tireless defender of the environment who “spoke for whales and seabirds, for tadpoles and mosses.’’ “He was possessed of a ferocious talent, able to write stories that provoked laughter, tears and action,’’ Green Party leader Elizabeth May
of Port Hope, Ont., his assistant Mary Shaw-Rimmington told The Canadian Press. The internationally acclaimed author was an “absolutely delightful person’’ who had “strong opinions that he would fight for to the death if he had to,’’ said friend Stephen Smith, who learned of the death from Mowat’s wife, Claire. “A highly, highly principled man, extremely generous with his time and his wealth,’’ he added. “Just a gem, a diamond in the rough.’’ There was no word on a cause of death. “He hadn’t been very

well, it had been a tough winter, but everybody had a tough winter in southern Ontario,’’ said Smith. “But it had been particularly tough for him. He wasn’t very well. He was quite old. He had various issues, as people in their 90s usually do.’’ From the time he was 13, Mowat was fiercely dedicated to writing about the natural world. As a young teen he started a magazine called Nature Lore and had a column in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. He went on to publish 45 books, many based on his own adventures and travels. Mowat said he was lucky to be able to combine his two passions: writing and nature, calling it “the only subject I really want to write about.’’ “I often found he was one of the Canadian writers you could always mention and everybody would know his work,’’ said Howard White, publisher of Douglas & McIntyre, which took over Mowat’s books about three years ago and is reprinting his major works. “It was due to that brilliant storytelling tal-
ent that he had, so it was never just a Canadian story, never just a First Nations story, never just an environment story. It was a story — a capital ‘S’ story that anybody anywhere could relate to.’’ Throughout his life, Mowat was adamant that humans learn to live in harmony with the natural world. “It’s a matter of survival,’’ he told The Canadian Press in a 2006 interview. “Either we learn to do this, or we cease to exist. We have no God-given right to survive forever. We have screwed up so badly in so many ways so obviously that only utterly stupid species would consider that we have much of a future, as things stand.’’ “Never Cry Wolf’’ is said to have changed the way people saw wolves; after the Russian version was published, the government there even banned the killings of one of Mowat’s favourite creatures. The book, which was based on Mowat’s experiences studying wolves in the North — and became a film in 1983 — was not without contro-

The May 1996 issue of now-defunct Saturday Night magazine featured an article by John Goddard titled “A Real Whopper,’’ accusing Mowat of exaggerating key facts in the book, such as how long he actually spent studying wolves in the North and if he visited an Inuit camp. Mowat later issued a retort, saying Goddard “consistently misses the truth behind these ‘facts.’’’ Mowat was born in Belleville, Ont., on May 12, 1921. The son of a librarian, he grew up in Windsor, Ont., and Saskatoon. He studied at the University of Toronto and served in the Second World War from 1940 to 1945. For the past few decades, Mowat split his time between Cape Breton, N.S., and Port Hope, Ont., where a monument stands in his honour. Never one to shy away from controversy, Mowat was outspoken about many environmental and social issues. He called Canada’s treatment of aboriginals
“abominable,’’ said the seal hunt was, “perhaps the most atrocious single trespass by human beings against the living world that’s taking place today,’’ and said hunts in general were “symbolic of the massive destruction that we’ve visited upon life.’’ Although Mowat felt the struggle to preserve nature and wildlife was an ongoing one, he said: “I could honestly say I’ve fought the good fight.’’ He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Medal in 1956, the Governor General’s Award for his 1956 children’s story “Lost in the Barrens,’’ the Leacock Medal for Humour for “The Boat Who Wouldn’t Float’’ in 1970, the Order of Canada in 1981 and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Fund for Animal Welfare in 2003. He was also inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame. “Every book is a total experience in itself,’’ he said. “It’s a world in itself and when you finish the book you’re moving on to another world.’’

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Efficiency becomes a theme for the next few days. Your focus on being resourceful remains a high priority every day. An emotionally laden conversation could add some stress, as it likely will be taken out of context. Tonight: Follow through on calls and some other practical matters. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your imagination knows no limits, at least to those around you. Do not be surprised if someone wants to pick your brain about an important issue. Remember, you are only one person. Remain sensitive to a friend who appears flaky. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not understand your strong desire to stay home today, but you probably will want to give in to this whim if you can. The pressure and hassles of outside life could be getting to you. At home you can relax, even if you have to do some
work. Tonight: Make it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep a conversation moving, even if you are uncomfortable with what is being said. Some of the comments might hit too close to home. Understand that everyone has limits, and perhaps you have pushed too hard beyond yours. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more aware of all the information coming your way from out of the blue. It might seem as if a friend suddenly opened the flood gates. You need to listen well and try to be nonreactive. Understanding could evolve as a result. Tonight: Let the party begin. Expect to treat a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll feel energized, so let a friend unload. You might not be able to stop this person once he or she gets going. Even if you are not that interested, make a point to put your best foot forward and listen. Don’t allow yourself to tune him or her out! Tonight: Start the weekend early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pull away from a source of constant chatter, especially if you feel a need to gain a fresh perspective on a situation. It is nearly impossible to stay centered when feeling hounded or overwhelmed. The issue might have to do with someone else. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The emphasis is on friends and on an important meeting. You might not see eye to eye with others. Gain a more complete perspective before making an important decision. A partner or loved one seems to have many opinions. Listen. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Responding to all the calls and questions that head your way will take diligence and endurance. You recently might have realized that that kind of follow-through is imperative in maintaining your professional and personal well-being. Tonight: Continue the process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a unique ability to
discipline yourself and not overreact. Some people might take that behavior as a lack of interest, even though that is not the case. You often detach from extremely volatile situations. Tonight: Listen to your intuition. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you care about might be seeking some answers and wanting more feedback. You could be out of sorts. Make a point to listen to a loved one who needs your time. Your ability to respond and be diplomatic will be tested. Tonight: Out for dinner. You choose where. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others might want to assume more control. Let this happen, and don’t worry so much about how others handle their responsibilities. This detachment will empower the interactions between you. Tonight: Sort through all the suggestions, then choose the best one. BORN TODAY Author Peter Benchley (1940), former U.S. President Harry S. Truman (1884), heavyweight boxer Sonny Liston (1932)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 33 years. His parents disliked me from our first date. I have no idea why. I was only 16. We married two years later, and his parents didn’t come to the wedding and stopped speaking to my husband for the next 23 years. They missed knowing our oldest son. When our second child was born, I wanted him to have grandparents, so I called them the day we came home from the hospital. They stopped by for a visit, and things seemed to improve. Well, that truce lasted 10 years, and now my mother-in-law is not speaking to us again. My in-laws spread terrible rumors about us. We live in a small town, and even the store clerks tell us the awful things my inlaws say. Annie, my son loves his grandparents and calls to talk to them, but they never pick up the phone. He leaves voicemail messages telling them he loves and misses them. They never call back. This is heartbreaking. What do I say to a 10-year-old to help him understand why his Grandma and Grandpa won’t speak to him? My hope is that they see this letter and realize they have a loving family who wants them in their lives. We are not likely to have another 23 years to fix this. -- Hurting Daughter-in-Law Dear Hurting: We do not understand parents who deliberately stop contact with children and grandchildren who love them and want to be close. Even if your in-laws had some reason for excluding you, it is reprehensible that they think nothing of hurting the grandchildren in the process. Could your husband speak to his parents about this? Would they agree to joint counseling to work on whatever issues are bothering them? If they refuse to address this and continue the silent treatment, we suggest telling your son that Grandma and Grandpa have difficulty dealing with others and that sometimes such people need to be left alone. Reassure him that it has nothing to do with him, and that you hope someday his grandparents will be able to cope better. Dear Annie: I recently was invited to a bridal shower for my niece. A month ago, I was told that my husband and I would definitely NOT be invited to the wedding. They said they wish to keep the ceremony small and are including only close friends and relatives (which I thought I was). The shower invitation specifically states that it is being held for the guests who are not invited to the wedding. I’ve never heard of such a thing. I thought inviting people to a shower and not the wedding was extremely inappropriate. These people are all quite wealthy, so having a small wedding has nothing to do with money. I may not make it to the bridal shower because it’s 300 miles away, but should I send a gift? Is it appropriate to ask why I’m not invited to the wedding? -- LeftOut Aunt Dear Aunt: Yes, it is rude to invite people to a shower but not to the wedding (except when co-workers decide to give a shower). Under the pretense of including more people in their celebration, they simply are obligating folks to give presents. The size of their guest list is not your business. But it would be extremely classy of you to send a shower gift. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Evil Stepmother,” whose husband’s daughter doesn’t want him to walk her down the aisle. When my daughter married, she asked her stepfather to walk her halfway down, and her father met her there and walked her to her soon-to-be-husband. Everyone was happy. -- C. Dear C.: Several readers wrote with some variation of that suggestion, which is a lovely idea, and we hope the husband’s daughter will consider it.

Alberta to investigate how accused murderer escaped guard in Edmonton hospital

EDMONTON — Scientists have discovered a vast, ancient meteorite crater in southern Alberta. Doug Schmitt, a University of Alberta researcher, says some time between 50 million and 70 million years ago, a huge chunk of space debris at least the size of an apartment block crashed into marshy, subtropical plains near what is now the hamlet of Bow City. It left a hole up to 2 1/2 kilometres deep and eight kilometres wide. The blast would have been 200 times stronger than the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated, so intense that anything alive within 200 kilometres would have received first-degree burns. But after eons of erosion, so little is left of the crater that it had to be discovered by accident, Schmitt said. “It’s buried,’’ he said.
where the meteorite would have struck. The size of the object can only be estimated. A meteorite composed mostly of iron would have had to have been between 300 metres and 500 metres in diameter to create that size of a crater. If the meteorite was rock, it would have had to have been a kilometre across. Schmitt said the crater is a rare opportunity to study the floor of an impact crater. “We’re able to get at the lower parts of (a crater) and see how rocks have been moved around.’’ His team is now looking for certain types of minerals that form only under certain conditions so as to confirm the crater is from a meteor impact. But he doesn’t have much doubt. “We’re pretty confident it can only be a meteorite impact. It’s pretty clear.’’
murderer under guard in hospital managed to escape. Denis says Christopher Nagel was free for about five hours in Edmonton’s University of Alberta Hospital. He says the 36-year-old was able to escape when the guard let him go to the washroom. “His restraints were removed at that time and he went into the washroom alone. A few minutes later the officer checked the inmate and he was gone,’’ Denis said. “There was a second door in the washroom and the inmate apparently left though it.’’ Nagel was later discovered hiding three floors up and taken
into custody without incident. He was charged on Sunday with first-degree murder in the death of his wife Rienna Nagel, and now faces a charge of escaping lawful custody. Rienna Nagel was found dead Saturday in a home in Spruce Grove, just west of Edmonton and her husband was taken to hospital at that time with unspecified injuries. Denis apologized for the escape. “This inmate should not have been allowed to escape from the correctional officers — period,’’ he said. “This simply should not have happened.’’
23-year-old Nintendo fan from Mesa, Arizona, launched the campaign last month, urging Kyoto, Japan-based Nintendo Co. and its subsidiary Nintendo of America Inc. to add same-sex relationship options to English versions of the hand-held Nintendo 3DS game. The game was originally released in Japan last year and features a cast of Mii characters — Nintendo’s personalized avatars of real players — living on a virtual island. Gamers can do things like shop, visit an amusement park, play games, go on dates and encounter celebrities like Christi-
na Aguilera and Shaquille O’Neal. “I want to be able to marry my real-life fiance’s Mii, but I can’t do that,’’ Marini said in a video posted online that attracted the attention of gaming blogs and online forums this week. “My only options are to marry some female Mii, to change the gender of either my Mii or my fiance’s Mii or to completely avoid marriage altogether and miss out on the exclusive content that comes with it.’’ “Tomodachi Life’’ has been a hit in a Japan, where Nintendo said last December it had sold 1.83 million copies of the game.

Child advocate says protection system failing Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – B.C. government officials say the latest problems in their new computer system for child protection files are being fixed after a week of disruptions, but the province’s independent child advocate says she’s heard that before. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond told a committee of MLAs Wednesday that the Integrated Case Management (ICM) computer system hasn’t worked consistently since it was put in place two years ago. The system records information for social workers on threats to children, court protection orders and general information on social assistance and children in government care. The latest failure may have left safety warnings unrecorded, and social workers could be entering a home without knowing if there are weapons or other threats, Turpel-Lafond said. She called for an independent review of the $180 million computer system to see if it is adequate. “They launched this,
and it didn’t work,” Turpel-Lafond said. “It couldn’t print a report for court for six months. Furthermore, it has been launched in other jurisdictions and failed. The same product was used in Australia and didn’t work.” Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson assured reporters Wednesday that the ICM system had been restored to full operation. That changed by the afternoon question period, when NDP critic Carole James said calls were still coming in about system failures. Wilkinson said the system was being “rebooted” again after another crash. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said social workers have backup protocols when the computer system is down for power failures or other emergencies. They take reports on paper and phone urgent information to other offices, as they do when ministry offices are closed, Cadieux said. Social Development Minister Don McRae said regular social assistance payments were

processed normally on April 24, and his ministry staff have the ability to issue emergency assistance payments as needed by issuing paper cheques. Turpel-Lafond said she had a call in the past week from a father of three young children who couldn’t get a payment because no one in the office knew how to issue a cheque. And she said the loss of domestic violence warnings for social workers and police is an ongoing problem. “Everybody who works in the child welfare safety system knows that you need to keep good identifying information about the adults in a child’s life,” Turpel-Lafond said. James said there have also been reports that emergency meal
