Sunny side of the street City road work fixes announced for 2014 ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

this summer will focus on the Whiteriver (Whiteswan) Forest Service Road.

Work will start in July on the bridge over the White River at 44 kilometres and continue until October, Rebagliati said, adding that this project alone has a $1 million price tag.

Fixes are coming to many roads around Cranbrook. The 2014 Capital Roads Program has outlined seven roadway priorities in terms of roadwork for the year.

The first is 6th Street North, from Kootenay Street to Victoria Avenue, at a cost of $1.7 million. That will include replacing portions of the sidewalk and concrete, removing and replacing the water main and the sanitary sewer main, removal of unsuitable soils and replacement of storm mains as required. A full reconstruction of the sub base, base and asphalt for the full width of the road is also planned and then the road will be repaved.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said he is excited about the program and the improvements it will bring to Cranbrook.

Mother arrested in B.C., girls safe after Amber Alert brings in tips C ANADIAN PRESS

Two Alberta girls are safe and their mother has been arrested after an Amber Alert issued Wednesday morning garnered public tips that helped police locate the trio in British Columbia’s Fraser Canyon.

By evening, RCMP said six-year-old Taya Meisel and her 12-year-old sister, Talisha, were located in Boston

Bar, B.C., about 215 northeast of Vancouver.

Their mother, 48-year-old Trina Meisel, who does not have legal guardianship, faces two counts of abduction.

Acting on information from the public, police said they located the three and took them into custody without trouble.

Some backroads still closed from 2013 floods SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

If you’re heading out into the backcountry this May long weekend, bear in mind that you may not be able to access your favourite spot.

The floods of June 2013 devastated East Kootenay backroads, damaging more than 30 bridges and 50 separate sites and wracking up a

repair bill of at least $5.5 million.

While an astounding amount of repairs were made last year, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is still stretching its capital budget to continue repairs this year.

Dave Rebagliati, an engineer with the Rocky Mountain Forest District, said work

CDAC goes from artsy to haute couture with Season of the Bears Barry Coulter

The animals will once again be fanning out around town in service of the Cranbrook and District Arts Council.

Following upon last year’s successful ‘Artsy Urban Deer Quest,’ the Arts Council this year is presenting a summer of bears — teddy bears!

The ‘Great Teddy Bear Hide and Seek’ will lead up to the CDAC’s Art in the Park event, set for Saturday, Aug. 23, in Rotary Park.

“This year we have 24-inch plush and cuddly teddy bears awaiting your creativity and fashion sense,” said Jenny Humphrey with the CDAC. Individuals, families,

groups and businesses are invited to purchase a bear from the CDAC and register it for this year’s Teddy Bear Hide and Seek.

The pattern will follow last year’s Deer Quest.

“We invite businesses to take part in the special Teddy Bear Hide and Seek by dressing their bear, naming him or her and locating him/ her within their business for discovery by visitors through the summer,” Humprhey said. “Business bears will need to be registered by June 25 and displayed by July 1. Clues to help you find all the bruins will be available at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council

Gallery after July 1.”

Business bears are also invited to the picnic for judging in their own category.

Bears are available at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council at 13510th Avenue South.

Looking forward to smooth new streets of Cranbrook Continued from page 1

“From my perspective this is a great selection, a great choice,” Stetski said.

Industrial Road No. 2 is also up for improvements, between Industrial Road C to Industrial Road 3. The city estimates it will cost $347,200 and include milling and removing the asphalt, a regrade of the road with gravel and repaving.

Then there is the portion of 17th Avenue North, from 2nd Street North to 1st Street South, with an estimated cost of $336,000. That will include a mill and removal of the asphalt, then a regrade followed by repaving.

At the 2nd Street North and Victoria Avenue intersection, the city expects the cost to remove and replace the curb, gutter and sidewalk at the corners with larger letdowns, remove

Bears will also be available throughout the summer (supplies permitting) at the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market and from board members.

There are three categories this year: Under 14 years (individual and

prizes will be awarded.

“These special CDAC 24-inch bears are available for purchase now and we look forward once again to seeing the amazing creativity we know exists in Cranbrook,” Humphrey said.

On Baker Street at 17th Avenue, the city will install sidewalks on the north side of Baker Street, replace the curb, gutters and sidewalk on the south side of the street, as well as adding a catch basin to the parking lane asphalt.

The areas will then be repaved. It will cost an estimated $112,000.

On 14th Avenue South, the city plans to install sidewalk and LED street lighting to the existing sidewalk on the

west side of the avenue.

That is estimated at $278,880.

The 8th Avenue sidewalk near Koko Beach will see a replacement of sidewalk for $23,600.

All of the above costs except the last one do include costs of engineering.

Coun. Sharon Cross said residents are always asking about the roads.

“I think this is a good opportunity for us to make this very well known within the community, along with the costs,” Cross said.

Some backroads still closed from flooding

The Rocky Mountain Forest District will continue repairs on East Kootenay backcountry roads this summer after the damage last June Continued from page 1 Meanwhile, the East White will be repaired this year at around 53 kilometres, opening access to Munroe Lake.

That will basically use up the capital budget for 2014.

“We don’t have a whole pile of money,” said Rebagliati. “Last

year’s repairs came out of our capital budget.

We postponed other projects for that to happen.”

The Ministry has applied for funding for the flood repairs from Emergency Management B.C., which provides money for unfore-

seen events such as last year’s rain event.

“There hasn’t been any emergency funding come through yet.

Sometimes it takes a year or two for that to come through,” he said.

Complicating matters is that bridge repairs are not as simple as ordering a bridge the same

size as the one that is damaged because the sheer volume of water changed the course and size of the river bed.

“Every bridge is going to be a different size than it was before.

It takes a couple of months before we can order the bridges and then it’s another six to eight weeks on top of that.”

It’s still early in the season, and some backroads may still be snow-covered. It’s usually not until June that the forest district staff are able to get out and check road conditions.

“We haven’t had the opportunity to do much maintenance out there yet because it’s still wet,” said Rebagliati.

If you are heading out this long weekend, take a high-clearance vehicle, be prepared to change your plans if access is cut off, and take supplies in case you run into trouble.

Last year, the forest district repaired the Bull River and Elk River Forest Service Roads, as well as Mause Creek Road to access Fisher Peak and Meachen Creek to Hourglass Lake.

Immediately after the June 2013 floods, an aerial photo shows the Bull River had overtaken the forestry road at 96 km.

But Rebagliati said those roads have not yet been checked for winter damage.

“Personally I haven’t been up there to see if all the snow is off the roads right now,” he said.

As of November 2013, the following road closures were in effect and this list remains largely unchanged: • Albert River Forest Service Road is closed due to washed out bridges.

• Buhl Creek Forest

Service Road is closed due to washed out bridges.

• Cross River Forest Service Road is closed at 35km due to a bridge washout.

• Dewar Creek Forest Service Road is open to 4WD access only.

• McClatchie Forest Service Road is closed at the Squaw Creek Bridge due to a bridge washout.

• Summer Lake Forest Service Road is closed at 59km due to a washout.

• Whiteriver (Whiteswan) Forest Service Road is closed at 44km due to a bridge washout.

Amber Alert leads to tips Continued from page 1 ``The two girls are OK and investigators are working with the Ministry of Children and Family Development with respect to their care,’’ B.C. RCMP Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said in a news release.

Alberta RCMP said relatives of the girls were en route to British Columbia to pick them up.

Insp. Tony Hamori said Trina Meisel had been taken to Hope, B.C., for processing be-

fore being returned to Alberta to be charged.

He also said the girls were taken to a hospital as a precaution but appeared to be in good health.

Mounties first issued a warning Monday after the girls were discovered missing. An arrest warrant was then issued on Tuesday in connection with what was believed to be a parental abduction.

On Wednesday, po-

lice heightened the search to an Amber Alert after a “confirmed sighting’’ they said occurred Monday afternoon in Golden, B.C. RCMP Insp. Gibson Glavin, a senior officer in southern Alberta, said later in the day that the scenario hadn’t met all criteria required to activate the Amber Alert for two days.

“We did not have one of the four criteria, which was belief that the children were at risk of

serious bodily harm or death,’’ he said at a news conference not long before the group was located.

“What changed was information came to the investigator’s attention that caused him to believe the children could be at risk of serious bodily harm or death.’’

Hamori later explained that information stemmed from comments Trina Meisel allegedly had made to people she knew.

Building Watch where permits you park those are up in RVs and trailers City of Cranbrook reminds Cranbrook residents of Streets and Traffic Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Building permits are way up in the city this quarter when compared to the same time last year. The increase is mostly thanks to a large project at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, but generally all categories were up in 2014.

CAO Wayne Staudt presented the results at the May 12 council meeting.

“It’s good news. The first quarter of 2014 saw a significant increase over the first quarter of 2013,” Staudt said. “Total building permits is just over $21 million. Everything is up.”

That $21.2 million represents a substantial increase over last year’s first quarter results of $2.9 million.

The biggest increase comes in the Institutional category where the construction value is $13.6 million, as compared with zero for the period one year earlier.

Residential construction value was up to $2.3 million, from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. There were seven new single family housing starts and three manufactured homes on foundation in 2014, as compared to five single family housing starts and no manufactured homes on foundation in the first quarter of 2013.

A total of 51 building permits were issued in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to 27 for the same period last year.

Commercial building permit value was up to almost $5 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to $1.3 million for the period in 2013.

Industrial was the only one that declined, to $165,000 in the 2014 period from $220,000 in 2013.

The Signs category was up to $196,190 in 2014, as compared to $14,912 in 2013.

Bylaw as camping season begins Ba r ry Co u lte r

Summer is almost upon us, and the travel and camping season begins in earnest with the May long weekend coming up. So we can expect those recreational vehicles and trailers to come out of winter hibernation into our driveways, ready for action.

But the City of Cranbrook is reminding RV owners to heed the letter of the law — Streets and Traffic Bylaw 3678 — which regulates on street parking of recreational vehicles and unattached trailers. The bylaw prohibits parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential streets between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and prohibits parking unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situation.

The City of Cranbrook said in a press release that City staff fields numerous complaints on a regular basis relating to trailers blocking driveways and using limited on-street parking for long periods of time.

“Enforcement of this bylaw is generally complaint driven,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “Citizens of Cranbrook are generally following the bylaw. This time of year is good to get out the reminder, especially now with spring and camping season beginning.”

The Streets and Traffic Bylaw, which came into effect in June 2010, applies to travel trailers, tent trailers, campers and motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers. The intent of the regulation is to keep City streets safe and accessible for vehicular and pedestrian use. It is recommended that residents find alternate places to leave their RVs, campers, boats and trailers when not in use, other than on the street.

To review a complete copy of the amended Streets and Traffic Bylaw 3678, 2010, please visit the City’s website at www.cranbrook.ca.

Remember way back in 2014?

“Remember way back in 2014?” I said to my wife as we waited there on the street, our car engine shut off. “When they were still talking seriously about replacing the school?”

I had thought I’d chance it. It had seemed like I had a small window of opportunity that would shave as much as 30 seconds off my car trip. But my timing was bad, and I drove past the school just as the students emerged for lunch. And so we were stuck there, hour after hour, while they crossed 14th Avenue, heading over to the Safeway.

The stream of humanity reminded me of the stories you hear of the surveyors, mapping out the prairies in the 1800s.

They would be returning to their camp when the buffalo would appear, countless thousands upon thousands, like an endless river of beef flowing between them and their camp. All the surveyors could do would be to get to a hillock or a copse of trees and wait for the buffalo to go by. It would sometimes take days.

Or like that scene with the caribou in “Never Cry Wolf.” If that herd wants to pass, you sit there and let it pass. Arm yourself with patience, my friends.

“I remember in 2014, when a provincial education minister came through — it’s been so long ago I forget who — and said that Mount Baker Secondary was in the third category of replacement,” I said to my wife as we sat there in the car at the crosswalk.

“They’ve kept coming through since then, over the decades,” I continued. “Education ministers from the B.C. Liberal government, then the NDP government, then that B.C. Conservative government, then from the government of that crazy party that’s in power now!

“And they’ve all said the same thing. Mount Baker Secondary School is in the third category for replaceBarry ment. First come the earthquake prone schools. Then Coulter the over-crowded schools.

Then the old schools that need replacement, like Baker.”

“But the trouble is,” my wife said, “by the time it’s the old school’s turn to get replaced, the earthquake prone schools are so old that they need to be replaced too, and since they’re always in the first category …”

We watched the students pass in front of us while we waited at the crosswalk.

Thousands and thousands of students, heading to Safeway for lunch. We marvelled at the fashions.

“You’d think that after what happened to the arena, that they’d consider Cranbrook part of an earthquake zone and put our school in the first category,” my wife said.

“They’ve never effectively proved that the big earthquake of ‘29 wasn’t the result of fracking,” I said. “If a quake is caused by fracking, it doesn’t count. And the crazy party that’s in power now made that official only last year.”

“Well then, that’s a lot of years of lobby-

Letters to the Editor

ing down the drain, no pun intended,” said my wife.

“The good thing that came out of that was that the school was able to salvage all the material from the arena to help shore up the welding shop,” I said. “I’m glad we had no kids in school by then, to work on that particular ‘bee.’”

“The ‘rubble drive,’ I remember it was called,” said my wife.

We watched the students go by. I glanced at my watch and noticed that the second lunch hour shift was coming out.

“Gawd, was my timing ever bad today,” I said.

I looked over at the statue of Mayor Bud Abbott. “Remember when there was an iron bear statue there?” I asked. “Wonder what ever happened to it.”

“The material was incorporated into girders for the Key City Theatre expansion, I think,” said my wife. “For when the Rolling Stones came through on their 70th anniversary tour.”

That had been the tour that Mick Jagger had returned to wearing spandex pants, thus setting a brief but intense retro fashion trend.

It was early evening by the time the students finished going to and coming from the Safeway, and we were able to drive on and go get our own lunch. We’d been sitting so long my spandex pants had become wrinkled and uncomfortable, and I picked and pulled at them as I got out of the car.

I’ve always been a little late in following the trends.

R

egretfully, I haven’t been to Africa more than once and the only trip we made was to Morocco which, in many ways, is European. I did get into a fascinating conversation with our tour guide who informed me that the King of Morocco, who is an Arab, must, by law, marry a Berber woman. Fascinated, I pushed on and asked our guide if he too was an Arab.

He was. The next day I dared ask him if his wife happened to be a Berber.

She was. “What about your sons?” I asked and was assured that they too were Arabs. I didn’t get around to asking if his daughters were Arabs or were to be relegated to Berbers.

But all of this made me wonder: does race or nationality actually exist or is it an invention of people for their own convenience? Is it one of the various methods of separating ‘us’ from ‘them’? We all do it; we label everyone.

We did it when I was a child growing up in London, England. We didn’t think much of the Irish nor the Welsh; the Scots were beyond the pale. We were suspicious of the Catholics and disliked the Jews, even though we frequented their

stores on Sundays, especially around Christmas for the sales.

When we went to war we were informed daily that the Germans were swine, that the Italians would run away and that the French, even though they were our allies, were not above suspicion, probably because they ate frog’s legs.

In fact, we all grow up separating in various ways our world into those two labels: US and THEM. It has probably been that way since the first homo sapiens made their way out of Africa. It wasn’t just Peter racism; it was more like prejudice. WE are Warland pure normal: THEY are different. What WE do is the natural thing to do and the proper way to do it; what THEY do is wrong and nonsensical and it is perfectly all right for US to mock and make jokes about THEM. What was the last Newfie joke you heard or repeated?

And from labelled prejudice come biased opinions, distorted impressions, bigoted ideas and warped concepts of THEM. Then, if THEY begin to crowd us, or appear to threaten us and our way of life, or seem to be usurping our assumed superiority, we attack.

The trouble is: without too many actual attacks here in North America, people are getting a little tetchy and, I am afraid,

I am going to be forced to start saving up.

With fourteen billion cell phones in the world recording every syllable spoken, I must start watching my mouth. I made a racist joke the other day. My companions snorted but didn’t protest but then, neither one was packing a cell phone or any other recording device (I hope), otherwise I might be in deep doo-doo.

And likewise those people who, over the years have labelled me Sassenach, Gringo, Tete Carree (square head), Limey, Pom, American (by a drunken Frenchman), and something in Welsh that I cannot pronounce let alone spell but sounded extremely abusive, had better wash their mouths out with soap before my lawyers come down on their heads like a ton of bricks.

Just ask Donald Sterling, who once thought he owned a good part of the L.A. Clippers, an NBA team. He made racial slurs with some friendly soul recording him and ratting on him. Poor old Donald, merely because he spoke as so many do about others, has now got to find out which part of the Clippers he actually owns. Then, if his wife will let him, he has to sell the team and pay a fine in the millions of dollars and then, I bet, Inland Revenue will be after him too.

It’s just not fair these days. A person can’t get away with labelling folk and slurring them. What is the world coming to?

ONGOING

A good year for Cranbrook I am going to start by recognizing a number of things that I seldom have to think about as a citizen of Cranbrook, or as Mayor.

Is my drinking water clean, safe and available? Yes it is, and the citizens of Cranbrook have reduced water use by nearly 15 per cent since 2009 due to water conservation measures initiated by city staff – well done!

Where does the used water go when it leaves my house? It goes into a nationally recognized waste water treatment process that converts sewage into irrigation to grow hay crops.

What happens if I have a medical emergency or a fire in my house?

A first class fire department will be there for me and my family.

When I walk to work, which I like to do, will I be safe? We have 26 RCMP officers looking after us.

Will I wake up one morning to find an inappropriate or unsafe development being constructed on my street? No because we have an Official Community Plan with zoning, engineering, construction and bylaw standards to prevent that from happening.

What will I do with my time outside of work? There are many indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities; amazing local, national and international entertainers performing at Western Financial Place, the Key City Theatre and the Studio Stage Door; Kootenay Ice hockey games in the winter and the farmers’ market in the summer; and art exhibitions and workshops put on by the Cranbrook and District Arts Council … to name a few.

All of these and more are things that I

Thursday, May 15, 2014 Page 7

seldom have to think about on a day-today basis because of the great work that city staff does daily. We are so fortunate to live where we do when you look around the world!

What are some of the initiatives that your councillors and I would like to highlight for 2013?

• The upgrading of the Elizabeth Lake Information Area in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Columbia Basin Trust, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, the Ktunaxa First Wayne Nation, Ducks Unlimited Stetski Canada and the Rocky Mountain Naturalists — just one example of a number of projects accomplished through partnerships and collaboration.

• Improving mobility access for the disabled/seniors/parents with strollers, through improvements to sidewalks, automated access to public buildings, an elevator at the Seniors Centre, and a ramp and stairlift into the RCMP building.

• Establishment of the Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee to recommend improvements along the highway through Cranbrook, which is used by 1.3 million vehicles each year.

• The hiring of an Energy Manager, cost shared with BC Hydro, to make our city more energy efficient.

• Completion of road and sidewalk improvements to 14th Avenue, including the introduction of bio-swales, bicycle lanes, benches and garbage containers.

• Undertaking a charette to involve the public in coming up with ideas for the short- and long-term uses of cityowned buildings in downtown Cran-

brook.

• Beginning implementation of the recommendations from the Barriers to Business report I requested from the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce.

• Updating three complex bylaws through extensive public consultation —the Building Bylaw, the Sign Bylaw and the Sea Can Bylaw.

• Updating our Official Community Plan to add new sections referencing the city’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan and the Growth Management Study, and adding new policy direction for municipal boundary expansion and sustainable land use.

• Donating a city lot to help realize Cranbrook’s first Habitat for Humanity housing project.

• Strengthening the relationship between youth and our community by encouraging the development of a youth survey and a youth committee, and supporting funding for youth led projects.

• Working with our Communications Officer to upgrade the City of Cranbrook’s websites so that they are easier to navigate and find the information needed.

While your mayor, council and city staff have a large impact on the quality of life in Cranbrook it is YOU, the citizens, who really make this a great place to call home. Your willingness to volunteer, to contribute financially to many worthwhile causes, and the care that you demonstrate for one another and for the community on a daily basis is truly what makes our city of 19,319+ citizens special.

On behalf of all of us, your municipal leaders and city workers, thank you for helping to make 2013 a good year for Cranbrook!

Canada to start Scrivens against Denmark STEPHEN WHYNO Canadian Press

MINSK, Belarus Canada’s Ben Scrivens will start against Denmark and may have an opportunity to claim the No. 1 goaltender job at the world hockey championship.

The Edmonton Oilers netminder allowed one goal on 24 shots in beating Slovakia on Saturday in the first international game of his career. James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs stopped 57 of the 62 shots he faced in his two games: a shootout loss to France and a victory over the Czech Republic.

Coach Dave Tippett said he didn’t know if those goaltenders split the next two games, given that Canada plays back-to-back against Denmark and then Italy on Friday.

“They each got two, we’ll revisit tomorrow night,” Tippett said after Wednesday’s practice at

TORONTO - Dustin McGowan’s struggles at home continued and the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen offered him no support in a 15-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night.

Justin Peters of the Carolina Hurricanes is the third goaltender on the roster. Tippett hasn’t revealed if the veteran would get a start in Minsk.

Despite two days off since holding on to beat the Czechs on Monday, Tippett was insistent his team get two practices in before getting back into game action. He was satisfied with what got accomplished as far as teaching and learning.

“We got some good work in, just a little bit of tactical stuff, a little bit of special-teams stuff,” Tippett said. “It’s a good couple days, and now we jump into back-to-back games.”

After three games, Canada is in second place in Group A with seven points. Sweden, which is undefeated but needed a shootout to beat the Czech Republic, is in first with eight points.

nings, including a tworun home run by Carlos Santana as the Blue Jays (20-21) had a modest two-game win streak snapped.

McGowan and the Toronto bullpen were getting pounded so badly that manager John Gibbons brought in utility infielder Steve Tolleson to get the final out of the Indians’ sixrun ninth inning.

David Murphy was 5 for 6 with five runs batted in and Lonnie Chisenhall was 5 for 6 with an RBI as Cleveland (1921) had 22 hits off for five different Toronto pitchers before 14,068 fans at Rogers Centre.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Bavarian Barbarians continued their winning ways at the second event of the new East Kootenay Roller Derby League season, defeating the Elkford Wildcat Brawlers 349130.

Kicking off the opening bout of the night, the Barbarians started strong with help from rookie jammer Derby Little Secret weaving through the pack.

Her counterpart, Wild Thyme—with the Wildcat Brawlers—was constantly in hot pursuit, while both teams

provided some tough blocking.

But the Bavarians proved to be too tough, and came up with the win.

In doing so, the Bavarians applied some new strategies learned from Ziv Krueger, a coach who came up from Texas to do a clinic with a league out of the West Kootenays at the beginning of the month.

A Barbarian member was at the event and invited Krueger to come out to Kimberley, which is conveniently on the way to his eventual destination of Banff.

ally interesting, new strategies to the derby world,” said Nicole ‘Indiana Bones Crusher’ Kapell. “So we thought, lets take these new strategies and these nine skaters with all these rookies and lets see if we can execute them and see if it works for us.

“Obviously, based on the score, it really did work, and we’re pretty excited about it.”

The Invermere Killer Rollbots went up against the West Side Wheelers out of Alberta in the headlining bout, falling in a close match at 153-108.

Even though there are a few

rookies on the team that began skating in the 2013 calendar year, the Barbarians have become a force to be reckoned with in the EKRDL. “We’re quite small in size, compared to other teams that play roller derby, so we try to use our speed, or our size, to be faster and have more agility, because we’re not as big when it comes to blocking,” said Kapell.

The next bout is in Elkford on June. 7th, and the Barbarians will be going up against the Killer Rollbots with the league’s top spot up for grabs.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - The Detroit Pistons say they have hired Stan Van Gundy as their coach and president of basketball operations.

The team will introduce Van Gundy at a news conference Thursday.

Owner Tom Gores

said Wednesday that Van Gundy is a proven winner and a teacher who can help shape the franchise. Van Gundy says he’s honoured to help Gores build the Pistons into a team that competes for championships.

Van Gundy is 371208 in seven-plus seasons as a coach with

Miami and Orlando.

He reached the NBA Finals in 2009 with the Magic.

Detroit went 29-53 last season, missing the playoffs for a fifth straight year. That was the end of Joe Dumars’ tenure as team president. Coach Maurice Cheeks was fired in February.

Upstart Habs oust Bruins from playoffs in Game 7 Neil Davidson Canadian Press

BOSTON - Max Pacioretty scored the winner midway through the second period and Carey Price stopped 29 shots as the upstart Montreal Canadiens defeated Boston 3-1 in Game 7 on Wednesday to oust the league-leading Bruins from the playoffs.

The Canadiens started fast and then stymied the Bruins, winners of the Presidents’ Trophy for the best regular-season record, to advance to the Eastern Conference final against the New York Rangers.

“It’s definitely a special team and if we didn’t know it before the playoffs, we definitely know it now,” said Pacioretty.

Dale Weise and Daniel Briere, with a late power-play goal, also scored for Montreal.

Jarome Iginla’s goal, which cut the Canadiens’ lead to 2-1 with 2:08 remaining in the second, set the scene for a dramatic third period.

The black and gold faithful hoped for yet another Bruins comeback.

They almost got their wish early in the third when Iginla, pouncing on a rare Price rebound, hit the post. Boston came on but the Canadiens held fast and Price, improving his record in elimination

games in 2014 to 5-0 including the Olympics, was rock-solid with a disciplined team defending in front of him.

The late Boston surge was not helped by a Johnny Boychuk penalty for interference with 4:31 remaining. Montreal scored on the ensuing power play when Briere’s centring pass bounced in off Zdeno Chara’s skate at 18:07 to pad the lead to 3-1.

Montreal killed off a late interference penalty to Andrei Markov - and a 6-on-4 Boston opportunity - to seal the win.

“Respect, you’ve got to earn it and I think tonight those guys earned it,” said Canadiens coach Michel Therrien.

The Bruins outshot Montreal 30-18.

The game drew two sellouts: 17,565 at TD Garden and some 21,000 at the Bell Centre, where fans paid $10 to watch the game on the video scoreboard with proceeds going to charity.

They saw a contest in which both teams seemed at times weighed down by the occasion early on, knowing there could be an entire off-season to ponder a costly mistake.

The Canadiens finished the regular season 17 points and eight places below the Bruins. But speedy Montreal, which had five wins and five losses in the 10 previous regular-season and

Sports

playoff games in 201314 between the two, proved to be a handful all year for Boston.

Yet the series was like rolling a boulder uphill for the Bruins, who rarely got their game going against Montreal. Boston coach Claude Julien had said Game 7s deserved your best. The Bruins failed to deliver for much of the night.

The series has been a roller-coaster ride with no shortage of subplots, most of which involved P.K. Subban whose star continues to grow.

When he wasn’t firing bullets from the blueline or skating circles, the flamboyant Canadiens defenceman was dodging water aimed his way from the Boston bench and dealing with racism on social media.

Subban embraced the attention and found himself in the spotlight again ahead of Game 7 when he pointed to the crowd, noise and energy in Boston’s TD Garden before saying: “I can’t wait to take that all away from them.”

Therrien refused to talk about any issues with the Bruins after the Game 7 victory.

“I’m not going to talk about the other team,” said Therrien. “I never talk about the other team. One thing I could tell you we were a group that was really really motivated to win this series.

Kings edge Ducks to force Game 7 Greg Beacham Associated Press

LOS ANGELES Trevor Lewis scored his fourth goal of the post-season, Jonathan Quick made 21 saves, and the Los Angeles Kings forced a seventh game in the Freeway Faceoff series with a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 on Wednesday night.

Jake Muzzin scored an early goal for the Kings, who ended their three-game skid with another sturdy defensive effort at home.

Los Angeles improved to 6-1 in post-season elimination games over the last two seasons while beating Ducks goalie John Gibson for the

first time in his sixgame NHL career.

Kyle Palmieri scored and Gibson stopped 21 shots for the top-seeded Ducks, who missed the chance to clinch their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2007.

Game 7 is Friday night at Honda Center.

The Southern California rivals’ scintillating first post-season meeting is the NHL’s only second-round series still going. The winner faces the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, who will have at least four days off before the conference finals open.

The Kings again proved their post-season credentials are un-

Thursday, May 15, 2014

assailable after winning a Stanley Cup title in 2012 and returning to the conference finals last year. Responding to Anaheim’s three straight wins with calm, intelligent defence, Los Angeles forced its second seven-game series of this post-season after rallying from an 0-3 deficit in the first round to stun San Jose.

Four days after Gibson made his NHL playoff debut at Staples Center by shutting out the Kings to even the series, the 20-year-old goalie had a rougher time in his third game in the Ducks’ net. Lewis scored on an eminently stoppable shot, the puck trickling between Gibson’s pads in the second period.

MIAMI - Ray Allen’s 3-pointer with 32 seconds left highlighted a huge Miami rally, and the Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference finals by topping the Brooklyn Nets 96-94 on Wednesday night.

The Heat won the series 4-1, and will face either Indiana or Washington in the East finals starting next week.

Miami had not led since late in the second quarter before Allen’s shot from the left wing put the Heat up 93-91.

Shaun Livingston tried to answer with 24 seconds left, missing in the lane and Chris Bosh controlled the rebound for Miami.

Allen made a pair of free throws with 21.6 seconds to play, capping a 12-0 run that erased an eight-point deficit.

LeBron James scored 29 points and Dwyane

Wade had 28 for the Heat. Joe Johnson scored 34 for the Nets, including a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left that got his team within one.

SPURS 104 TRAIL BLAZERS 82 SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each scored 22 points, and San Antonio overcame an injury to Tony Parker to beat Portland and close out the Western Conference semifinals.

Patty Mills scored 18 points and Tim Duncan had 16 points and eight rebounds for San Antonio, which had four blowout victories in the five-game series.

Parker sat out the second half with tightness in his left hamstring.

It’s the third straight conference finals appearance for San Antonio, which lost a heartbreaking seven-game series to the Miami Heat in last season’s final.

Search continues for three males believed drowned in Slocan Lake Nelson Star

The search for three missing males is continuing at Slocan Lake.

The RCMP dive team conducted another search of the Bigelow Bay area on Tuesday, using underwater sonar in an effort to find the three missing youths from the New Denver area.

So far the search has been unsuccessful.

The dive team plans on continuing the search underwater Wednesday.

The RCMP is also exploring other viable options in it’s efforts to bring this event to a conclusion.

Emergency Management BC has been contacted and agreed to provide additional equipment that can search at a deeper depth as the lake is well over 400 feet deep where the canoe overturned.

This equipment includes both side scan radar and an underwater remote vehicle. It and operators are expected to arrive on Thursday.

There are estimations that the depths reach 600-700 feet within the search area making the recovery more difficult.

The mishap Saturday claimed the life of Lily Harmer-Taylor, 19, while Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 15, Hayden Kyle, 21, and Skye Donnet, 18, remain missing and are presumed dead.

In light of the tragedy, the head of the Lifesaving Society’s BC and Yukon branch says the use of lifejackets continues to be a key concern for his organization.

“It’s a very tragic situation,” Dale Miller said.

“Our sole purpose is the prevention of drowning and water-related injuries. We’re very disappointed and distraught because unfortunately we do see these types of incidents every year.”

Lily Harmer-Taylor died in hospital overnight Saturday after the canoe she was in overturned on the lake. The rest of the group remain missing.

Police said none were wearing life jackets and couldn’t confirm if there were any in the canoe at the time.

Miller noted a similar situation last year on Nicola Lake near Merritt where two 18 year old boys drowned after their canoe capsized. He said the society’s general message to boaters is to make sure they’re com-

pletely prepared to enter the water. “Often people think it’s not going to happen to me, but it just takes one bad move and all of a sudden a nice day on the water turns tragic,” he said.

Miller said typically in boat-related drownings, 70 to 80 per cent of victims are not wearing lifejackets.

In one unusual case last year, two fishers on Kalamalka Lake were wearing lifejackets, but drowned because they were ill-fitting.

He added that taking precautions is particularly critical in cold water, such as glacier-fed Slocan Lake and suggested basic training is important so you know what to do when something happens to someone else.

“We too often see people drown in the company of others who didn’t know what to do in the situation. It could be basic CPR training.

Even better would be water-related life-saving training.”

Miller said swimming lessons for kids can also make a “huge difference” when someone unexpectedly falls into the water.

He noted that ironi-

Penticton backyard hen project off the ground Ste ve Kidd Penticton Western News

Penticton’s backyard hens trial is finally off the ground.

The 18-month trial program attracted 12 applicants, which city council voted 5-3 in favour of giving them go ahead to start keeping egg-laying hens in their backyards, with Couns. Katie Robinson, John Vassilaki and Helena Konanz opposed.

Konanz, in particular, has been opposed to the project since it was introduced, contributing to a tie vote that caused the proposition to fail when it was brought before council last year.

She was concerned that some of the participants had already been keeping hens since last year and were disputing fines levied by the city.

“If they are involved in that, I think it is important to postpone their participation until that is settled,” said Konanz, who has also expressed concern that following complaints and checking on compliance would tax the city’s already overloaded bylaw enforcement department, a concern

shared by Robinson.

“This is going to turn into a nightmare for bylaw enforcement,” she said. “Just for the record, I have lived beside chickens, and they are noisy.”

Coun. Judy Sentes was just as firm in her support of the backyard hens project, and wanted to avoid rehashing previous discussions, given that council had already voted to support the pilot project.

“With respect to your concerns, you don’t know that. You don’t there will be noise, you don’t know there will be unacceptable odour. The purpose of the pilot is to give opportunity for firsthand experience with this scenario,” said Sentes. “Council received a great deal of information in support of positive answers to your questions of concern.”

The basic rules are straightforward: a maximum of five hens, no roosters, coops must be set back 1.5 metres from property lines, and applicants agree to remove the hens and coop within 60 days if the pilot project is cancelled.

cally, Saturday marks the launch of National Safe Boating Awareness Week, which emphasizes the use of lifejackets.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council has a series of instructional videos at smartboater. ca.

Nepal: from one extreme to the other Maritime Travel’s Carla Nelson introduces a two-part series on Nepal

I

recently returned from a trip to Nepal, part of which included a long trek around the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas. Today, I am going to tell you about Nepal in general, and in my next article, I will give you the highlights of my mountain trek!

Contrasts and extremes. That sums up Nepal. Landlocked between Tibet (China) to the north and India to the south, it has always been isolated and remote.

It is a complex mixture of cultures, ethnicities and religions. The landscape includes lowland jungle to mountain villages and some of the highest peaks in the world. Agriculture is important in the south, mountaineering in the north.

There are few cities, Kathmandu the largest.

It is chaotic, smoggy, humid. Traffic goes in every direction, the markets are large and noisy, Hindu shrines and Buddhist prayer flags abound, electricity is erratic, as is the availability of wi-fi, cell service and ATMs. This city of five million people is similar to other overpopulated, third-world cities.

Despite all that, the people are welcoming, smiling, peaceful, and most can speak English surprisingly well. The country itself has a population of 29 million with 92 ethnic languages and 103 identified castes.

Nepal is still one of the 10 poorest countries in the world. The average wage is the equiva-

lent of approximately $700 USD per year.

Eighty per cent of the population is Hindu, 11 per cent Buddhist. I learned that you have to be born Hindu, but you can study and adopt Buddhism, hence a great deal of the population is both Hindu and Buddhist. You will find Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries together and worshippers often attend both.

Nepal is a democratic republic, since the massacre of the royal family in 2001. The Nepalese are patiently waiting for a new constitution to be prepared.

They do not dwell on this, however, instead focusing on working hard and raising their families. Life expectancy is in the mid-60s and 40 per cent of the population is under 14 years old.

Home to Everest, highest mountain in the world, and to eight out of 10 of the world’s highest peaks, Nepal has attracted adventurous tourists for many years.

There are many treacherous trails at high altitude, some for walking, some for driving... and both are quite the experience!

ford has found is the Santa Maria, it would be the oldest known European shipwreck in the so-called New World.

But scientists say it’s far too early to make any such declaration.

“The evidence, as you can imagine, after more than 500 years is not going to be very much because of time and the environment that the site is in,’’ said Roger C. Smith, the state underwater archaeologist for Florida.

Clifford is known for discovering a pirate ship off Cape Cod in 1984.

Brandon Clifford

Clifford and his son, Brandon, first explored the shipwreck off northern Haiti in 2003 but did not at that time believe they had found the Santa Maria. Clifford said a re-reading of Columbus’ diary convinced him that the wreck from 2003 was in fact the Santa Maria.

Photos from 2003 of the wreckage show a cylindrical object that Clifford said was a 15th-century cannon. He said the cannon and other artifacts had vanished by the time he returned last week.

First aid and mine rescue skills shown at competition Nicole Obre Fernie Free Press

First aid and surface mine rescue teams showed off their high safety standards and skills on Saturday at the 93rd annual East Kootenay Zone Mine Rescue and First Aid Competition.

Hosted every year by the East Kootenay Mines Industrial Safety Association (EKMISA) and held at Rayco Steel in Sparwood, teams completed a written test and were judged on mock scenarios that took

roughly 30 minutes to complete. Spectators braved the chilly weather to watch the action and stayed warm with a barbeque sponsored by Finning, SMS Equipment, and Cummins Western Canada.

The day’s events were followed by a banquet dinner at the Fernie Community Centre to recognize all of the competitors, judges, volunteers, and sponsors.

Nutritionist offers tips on how to grow a gardener Linda Boyd

D

o your kids think peas come from a bag in the freezer? Do they know potatoes grow underground? Could they recognize a carrot growing if they saw the green tops poking out of the soil? A lot of parents and grandparents are realizing many of today’s children are growing up without an understanding of where their food really comes from.

Perhaps you are a seasoned gardener or maybe you are someone who has just started thinking about getting your hands dirty. What-

ever your gardening experience may be, spring has sprung and now is the perfect time to think about planting and growing with your children. I don’t have a lot of gardening experience myself, but I do try to grow a few things each year so my kids can appreciate how food is grown. Young children have a natural curiosity about the world around them and gardening is a perfect way to tie in valuable lessons like patience - as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility - as they take over watering duties and the value of

healthy eating – as children are often more enthusiastic about trying vegetables they have grown themselves.

Gardening doesn’t necessarily require a plot of land or hours of weeding. Gardening can happen in containers on a balcony or patio. In fact, many garden plants such as herbs, lettuce, radishes, and tomatoes do very well in containers. Raised beds can eliminate the need for weeding and are great for compact spaces. Try the square foot garden method and give your child a square of their own to care for. This

popular method teaches gardening skills without being overwhelming.

Watching a plant grow from a seed is like magic for young children, but slow germination rates can be trying for even the most patient child. Plant a mixture of seeds and potted plants to help keep their interest. Sunflowers and beans are fast growing plants from seed. When my son was in preschool, he started a sunflower from a seed and was absolutely amazed at how tall it grew; he was so proud to share the seeds with all of his

little friends.

If you lack suitable space to garden at home, consider renting a plot at a community garden. Involving your kids in a community garden exposes them to an amazing variety of vegetables grown by many different gardeners. Kids and parents involved with community gardens also benefit from the wisdom of other gardeners. Connect with your local food action committee, community or health centre to find out if there is a community garden near you.

If you have a child in

Is Reading Your True Passion?

school, ask if there is interest in starting a school garden. Planning for a school garden can start now and carry over into the fall so that the school garden will be ready to plant next spring. For information on school gardens see http://healthyeatingatschool.ca/.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of May 11 - 17 Dav e H u m p h r e y

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1898 Everlasting Springs … The work of surveying the route for the Cranbrook water-works, establishing the grade, point for the dam, preparing plans to be submitted for estimates, etc., is practically completed by H. M. Burwell, Dominion surveyor. The outlines of the work illustrating topography of the country, dam, reservoir, etc, as presented by drawing and colours on

paper are as pleasing to the eye as a work of art fresh from a master’s hand. Briefly outlined the details are as follows, as kindly furnished the reporter by Mr. Burwell. The reservoir and dam-site are situated 2.3 miles southeast of Cranbrook, 270 feet above the townsite. The dam will be 10 feet in height, and will flood more than one acre of ground, which, after excavation, will have a storage capacity of 1,200,000 gallons of water, affording a sufficient supply for a city of 10,000 inhabitants.

When the time shall have arrived that the quantity shall be insufficient for the population of Cranbrook, by raising the dam two feet a supply will result

ample for a population of 50,000 people, the reservoir then having a capacity of 1,200,000 gallons. This quantity, without replenishment during consumption, would suffice a city of the size last named thirty days. The main supply comes from never failing springs — nature’s purest water. The amount of water, having its source in these springs and flowing out by the way of St. Joseph Creek, was for seven days in April 29 cubic feet per second, and on the 20th of the same month 84 cubic feet per second. The pipeline route in town is through Kains and Laidlaw streets, thence to and along Edwards to Coutley, thence to Baker and along it to the C.N.P.R. grounds, west of the

Hotel Cranbrook. The water pipes will be of riveted steel, size as yet undetermined.

The pressure given by an elevation of 270 feet will be ample for all contingencies that may be possible to arise.

Close Call … Maurice Quain had a narrow escape from becoming an angel — wouldn’t Maurice look nice with a pair of lilywhite wings, trimmed bias? — a few days ago.

A battery used in Cowan’s camp for exploding dynamite got out of whack and was sent to Maurice to regulate, and with it some caps with which to test it. He fixed the lightning incubator all right — and it nearly fixed him, for he thoughtlessly attached a very short piece of wire to the cap when he tried it, it worked. When Maurice pulled himself together and commenced wiping the blood from his forehead he said that whoever said battery caps only had an explosive force of 400 pounds was a real estate agent on a trip to from Wardner, as he stood ready to prove that it was over 400,000 tons. The explosion blew a hole through the marble pavement in front of Maurice’s office.

Baseball … There is talk of a match game of baseball in Cranbrook, Sunday next, between the Moyie Out-of-Sights and the Paralyzers of this place. There is a splendid ball ground here, and in addition to the sport it will give the people of the two towns a chance to become acquainted. Come on boys we’ll be glad to see you, will treat you well but not too often, and beat you at the game as though you were Spaniards - if we can.

1899 Stars Saw Stars ...

Last Sunday morning the members of the Metropolitan Opera Company took conveyances here for Fort Steele and one rig, driven by “Curly” Brown, met with disaster. While going down the half way hill, the driver was thrown out and the team dashed on with its helpless load. Both lines were dragging, and when the horses reached the second hill

two of` the ladies, Miss Millard and Miss Colby were thrown out on the rocky road. At the foot of Five Mile Hill one of the men on the first seat succeeded in getting hold of one of the lines and pulling the horses into the side hill where he stopped them. Miss Millard had one arm broken, and Miss Colby had several ribs broken and received a severe gash on her forehead.

Other occupants of the buggy were badly shaken up. Drs. King and Brodie were summoned, and after rendering all possible aid the injured ones were taken to the hospital at Fort Steele. At last accounts both ladies were recovering rapidly.

Free Reading Room ... The free reading room that is being maintained

by W. R. McFarlane is a most convenient place for a quiet hour for reading or writing letters.

The latest periodicals and papers, stationery furnished free, every comfort and convenience.

McFarlane’s Bath and Tonsorial Parlors, on Hanson Avenue, a few doors south of the post office.

For Sale … McVittie & Hutchison’s Bargain List. Market Garden, house and lot, $260; also Milk Business, the best in the city — 16 cows, 30 horses, two rigs, harness, saddles, house, large stable, lot and good will of business. Cheap; easy terms.

1900 New Arrival … Rev. D. Halford, B.D., arrived Monday from Manitoba, and will make Cranbrook his headquarters in the future. He is here in the interest of the British Columbia Baptist convention. Mr. Halford will organize church work of the Baptist denomination in the district embraced from Fernie to Moyie.

Gone to the Dogs …

To see a choice aggregation of bull and most all other kind of dogs, irrespective of colour, age, sex or previous mental condition, look on Baker Street most any night and you will see them in the gloaming. If you are on a bicycle you need not look for them, they will be looking for you.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A risk will pay off in a surprising way. A discussion is long overdue. Be ready to move forward and let go of confusion.

Ultimately, you will resolve the issue. Do not hold back as you have been. Allow your fiery nature to reveal itself. Tonight: Think “vacation.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with a partner directly.

You can’t keep putting this situation on the back burner.

The end results could surprise you, as there is likely to be an unexpected turn. As a result of the unexpected, you could gain a sudden insight. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Others might assume more control than they have in a while. Share more of what you want from them. Though someone could become quite difficult, he or she will respond eventually. This person values the tie between you. Tonight: Go with a different suggestion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Defer to an associate who seems more grounded than he or she has been in a while. You have become rather familiar with having some uproar on the homefront. The responsible party might be willing to compromise; listen to what he or she shares. Tonight: Pace yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your love of life comes out in nearly everything you do. Understand that someone might feel pressured by a situation that keeps causing you a bit of a problem. Let impulsiveness call the shots, at least for today. Unexpected news heads your way.

Tonight: Let the fun begin.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be more forthright and direct in how you are dealing with a family member, even if you view this person as cagey. A partner will appreciate the way you are handling a tension-laden situation. A boss or higher-up could be observing you as well. Tonight: At home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be rather disassociat-

Tundra

ed from what is going on. Your mind, though responsive to those in your present environment, seems to drift to a different person or place. Be as direct as possible when dealing with others. Clear up any confusion.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Honor a financial agreement, even if there was or is confusion around it. A partner has similar concerns, but he or she is likely to proceed differently. Coming to an agreement with this person could take significant effort on your part. Tonight: Play it low-key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Beam in more of what you want. A certain element of excitement surrounds what you do. The unexpected could occur when dealing with a loved one.

Maintain a sense of humor, and everything will go well. Be willing to put in extra hours.

Tonight: Just be yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Note what is going on behind the scenes. Follow your instincts when dealing with a family

member. You could be more confused than you realize. Take your time addressing a problem, as it isn’t going anywhere.

Try not to make a final decision just yet. Tonight: Order in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Zero in on what you want. Have a long-overdue conversation with someone you care about.

This person could be very excited to finally air out some issues.

Tap into your creativity when the unexpected occurs. Tonight: Favorite people, favorite place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to have a discussion with a family member before you loosen up and relax.

Be willing to invest more in your home life. Your environment can make all the difference in how you feel. Make that extra effort, and you will be happier.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Hagar the Horrible

Baby Blues

Rhymes with Orange

By Dick Browne

By Kirkman and Scott

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m the youngest of 10 siblings.

Most of my brothers and sisters are much older, and I was raised primarily with “Sara and Tina,” who often bullied and hit me.

Consequently, my mother would not leave me alone with them, and my sisters grew to resent the closeness I had with Mom. When we grew up, I was the one who took responsibility for my parents when they were sick and needed money. I put myself through college and established an excellent career. My parents admired this, but Sara and Tina became passive-aggressive toward me. They voiced their dislike of my husband, and they never called or included me in family outings.

I have always loved my nieces and nephews and have been attentive to their birthdays and celebrations. But when my 4-yearold daughter died, neither Tina nor Sara called to see how we were or offered to take my young son for some time away from his depressed parents. When I asked them why, they became defensive and said I always make them feel inferior. My older siblings agree that Sara and Tina are jealous of me, but they made no effort to intervene and simply told me to ignore them. So I did.

Sara, Tina and I live in the same city. Four years ago, I had another baby, and they never came to see us. At that point, I cut them off altogether.

Yesterday, I received an invitation to a family reunion. I don’t want to go. I don’t consider these people my family any longer, and it will only hurt to see that I’ve always been the outsider. My son is 12 and my daughter is 7, and they don’t know any of my siblings.

What do you think? -- Thought I Was Part of a Large Family Dear Thought: When there is a large age gap between siblings, it can be difficult to form a close bond. And because you seem to have focused all of your efforts solely on Tina and Sara, you believe that none of your siblings has any interest in you. While you are not obligated to attend a family reunion, this is a lot of family to ignore.

We suggest you attend, but give Tina and Sara only a brief acknowledgment, and then try to spend time getting to know your other siblings and their children. You might find more common ground there, and your children might be closer in age to their grandchildren. If you still feel like an outsider after this, any additional contact is unnecessary.

Dear Annie: My friends and I play cards once a week at “Jennie’s” house. However, when the phone rings, she answers it while the game is in progress.

Do you think she should get into a lengthy conversation while we sit there and wait for the conversation to end? These are not emergency calls. I don’t feel comfortable confronting her about this. How can I handle this tactfully? -- A Friend Dear Friend: You already know that having a lengthy phone conversation while entertaining others is rude. Before you begin playing next time, all of you should discuss adding a rule saying that anyone who stays on the phone longer than 60 seconds must withdraw from the game or forfeit her turn until the conversation is over. But we also notice that you are meeting at Jennie’s and nowhere else. Why not alternate homes and give her a break?

Dear Annie: Tell “Anonymous” to call her local veterinarian to see whether he has a use for the empty prescription pill containers. Our vet was very happy to take all of the pill bottles we could give him. -- Barb Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Politicians decry selloff of habitat for endangered caribou Bob Weber Canadian Press

EDMONTON — Alberta’s decision to sell off for energy development habitat that supports two endangered caribou herds is bad science, bad politics and bad economics, say environmentalists, scientists and opposition politicians.

“It is a revealing demonstration of this utter lack of attention to environmental considerations in this province,’’ NDP member of the legislature Rachel Notley said Wednesday.

“It’s always about industry first and then putting out press releases to save the environment second.’’

Joe Anglin, environment critic for the Opposition Wildrose party, said the sales should be at least delayed.

“One of the biggest impediments to getting access to international markets is our environmental record,’’ he said. “We do ourselves a disservice when we have an opportunity to do a little boasting on how well we take care of the environment — and here’s an opportunity.’’

Liberal Laurie Blakeman suggested that with so much energy development already in Alberta, there’s no need to tear up 1,700 hectares of the last remaining habitat for mountain caribou.

“We can afford to slow down on development,’’ she said. “The government does not need to be leasing that land out right now — they could be saying, no, we’re going to set that aside and just leave it alone for 10 years.’’

Alberta Energy has begun lease sales for seven plots of land north of Grande Cache that is crucial habitat for the survival of two mountain caribou herds. The news came just days after a federal panel of scientists concluded that all Alberta’s mountain caribou herds should be considered endangered — the highest level of threat in Canadian law.

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada found the population of the herds has declined by 60 per cent over the last decade, mostly attributable to

done up to this point is going to do it.’’

Her call was supported by Fiona Schmiegelow, a senior biologist.

“Considering new mineral allocations in ranges where populations are experiencing precipitous decline ... it seems counter to the direction and need for caribou conservation and is likely to lead to greater conflict in these areas,’’ she said.

A federal recovery plan for mountain caribou is nearly complete, Schmiegelow said. That plan stipulates a target of 65 per cent of a herd’s range should consist of usable habitat.

given the steady decline of Alberta’s herds, those guidelines aren’t working.

“What we need to figure out is if it is appropriate to develop, which we don’t know yet. We have to come up with guidelines and rules that actually do work.’’

Notley said a good start would be to declare a moratorium on industrial leases in mountain caribou territory, similar to what has been done on two nearby boreal caribou ranges.

“If the government is truly committed to protecting the caribou, that is what they need to do.

None of what they’ve

industrial development.

About 500 hectares for sale are in the range of the 100-member Redrock-Prairie Creek herd. Half of that herd’s entire range has already been affected by development, according to data compiled by Global Forest Watch.

The other 1,200 hectares is on the range of the 78-animal Narraway herd. More than 81 per cent of that range is already disrupted.

Alberta Energy officials have said energy leases on caribou range are sold with guidelines on how companies can minimize disruption.

NEWS Cyclones moving away from tropics, towards poles, US study finds ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A surprising new study finds that tropical cyclones worldwide are moving out of the tropics toward the poles and generally larger populations, likely

because of global warming.

Atlantic hurricanes, however, don’t follow this trend.

While other studies have looked at the strength and frequency of the storms, which are called hurricanes in North

America, this is the first study that looks at where they are geographically when they peak. It found in the last 30 years, tropical cyclones are peaking 53 kilometres farther north each decade in the

Northern Hemisphere and 61 kilometres farther south in the Southern Hemisphere.

That means about 160 kilometres toward the more populous mid-latitudes since 1982, the starting date for the study.

LOS ANGELES — A new study suggests excessive groundwater pumping for irrigation in California’s agricultural belt can stress the San Andreas Fault, potentially causing future small earthquakes.

GPS readings found the San Joaquin Valley floor has been sinking for decades through groundwater loss while the surrounding mountains are being uplifted.

A team led by Western Washington University says this motion produces slight stress changes on the San An-

dreas and neighbouring faults.

The findings were released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

The San Andreas is the most significant fault crisscrossing California.

Nearly 800 miles long, it stretches from a peninsula north of San Francisco to the Salton Sea near the U.S.-Mexico border.

The fault has unleashed some of the most devastating seismic disasters in state history including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
