GRAND SLAM OF CURLING TOUR CHALLENGE

Volunteers rock

Organizing committee puts out call for volunteers for November event; meeting to be held April 5 at 7 p.m. at Curling Club.

B A R RY CO U LT E R

For a week of days in November of this year, Cranbrook will be the centre of the curling world. And organizers are putting out the call for volunteers to make the event a success.

Cranbrook has been awarded an event in the Grand Slam of Curling — the Tour Challenge, the second event on the tour — and will see a massive influx of top international curlers, 15 men’s teams and 15 women’s teams in the top tier, and another 30 teams in a second tier.

They will playing in two tiers that will compete at Western Financial Place and the Memorial Arena from Nov. 8-13, 2016.

Organizers are holding an infor-

mation meeting Tuesday evening, April 5, at 7 p.m. at the Cranbrook Curling Centre.

“Come down and get all the details on volunteering for The Tour Challenge, the largest professional curling event in the world, coming to Cranbrook this November,” said Brenna Baker, Marketing and Sponsorship Manager for the local Tour Challenge committee.

Organizers will also be bringing local curlers to Western Financial Place to do a mock line up at the ticket booths located in Western Financial Place — a test run in advance of the actual ticket launch April 15, 2016.

Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski was among the many who took part in Cranbrook’s inaugural walk to mark World Autism Awareness Day.

Hundreds walk for autism awareness T r e v o r C r aw l e y

Hundreds of people clad in blue wandered through the streets of Cranbrook on Saturday on a walk to mark World Autism Awareness Day. Led by the Cranbrook Bugle Band, the group started at Steeples Elementary and walked past the Alliance Church, out onto Cranbrook Street (the Strip), down Victoria Ave and down Sixth Street to end up back at the school.

The walk, which included all ages, began at 11:30 a.m. as the Bugle Band headed up the procession, with kids, parents and MP Wayne Stetski Themed ‘Light it up Blue’ the walk was just one of many in the province and the world as organizers Ursula McCulloch and Carolyn Maclean kicked off the first ever instalment in Cranbrook— which they hope to make an annual event.

In addition to the presence of

the Bugle Band, members of the Aspire Dance Academy were on hand to give a performance in the Steeples Elementary School gymnasium before the walk began.

The event was not a fundraiser more than it was a public display of awareness for people with autism and service groups who provide services to people with autism.

Booths were present from groups like East Kootenay Behaviour Interventionists, as well

as East Kootenay Child Development, Pivot Point, East Kootenay Intervention, Blue Lake, Creston and District Community Living-Therapeutic Riding.

McCulloch wishes to thank all the local businesses who donated prizes that were drawn in a raffle.

Thanks also goes out to Just Music, which provided the music, and Sandor Rental, which provided a bouncy castle for the kids.

Prize winners are: One night getaway at Copper-

Crews conduct 110-hectare burn near Fort Steele Tre vor Cr awley

A large plume of smoke was visible from Cranbrook and the area on Friday afternoon, as the province teamed up with the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program to conduct a controlled burn out near Fort Steele.

The burn, which is covering roughly 110 hectares in and around the Lakit Ridge area, was monitored by trained B.C. Wildfire Service personnel at all times.

Nearby Brewery Ridge was the site of a controlled burn in the spring of 2014.

Ecosystem restoration burns help create landscape level fuel

breaks, reduce the level of forest fuels, mitigate the severity of future fires and decreases wildfire risks.

In addition, prescribed burns also help maintain wildlife habitat and will help increase the forage range of bighorn sheep in the Lakit Ridge area.

Fire is a natural, normal process in many ecosystems and helps maintain a healthy forest. Many plants and animals have adapted to fire in forests, and some depend on regular fire events to reproduce.

All prescribed burns must comply with the Environmental ManTrevor Crawley photo agement Act and the open burning A large plume of smoke was visible from Cranbrook and the area on Friday afternoon, as the province teamed smoke control regulations. up with the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program to conduct a controlled burn.

“We are proud to sponsor this yearly match-up between the Cranbrook Fire Department and the Mount Baker girls basketball team,” said Cranbrook McDonald’s Owner/Operator David Kaiser. “It’s always a fun event. And the fact that it benefits an important charity such as the BC Burn Fund is another reason we’re happy to be in-

volved.”

All of the proceeds of the event go to the BC Burn Fund, which assists recovering burn patients, as well as providing education on burn prevention throughout the province. “The BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund is an amazing charity. It supports both medical care for BC burn survivors as well as research on burn and wound healing,”

Recruitment for Committee 2016 There is an opportunity for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook advisory committee listed below.

Membership is open to residents of the City of Cranbrook.

Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee The committee examines the issues related to urban deer within the boundaries of the City of Cranbrook and continues to maintain and monitor an ongoing management plan and report to Council. One position is available.

Terms of reference for all the committees are available on the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca Interested individuals are invited to submit a Volunteer Application form available at City Hall or the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca.

Applications will be accepted at City Hall (attention Kelly Thorsteinson) or by email thorsteinson@cranbrook.ca, no later than Friday, Friday, April 15, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. local time.

said Cranbrook Fire Fighter and event organizer Murray Robertson.

This year marked the sixth year in a row that the Cranbrook fire fighters have lost the charity basketball game to the MBSS Wild Girls Basketball team. Although the members of the Cranbrook Fire Hall tried their best, the high school team was ultimately victorious with a final score of 54- 53.

Highlights of this year’s event included the giveaway of a flat screen television, kindly donated by Aaron’s Electronics, which was won by Natalie Brons.

There was also a hilarious dance-off between Mount Baker Wild Girls basketball player Kal Taye and fire fighter Darcy Kennedy. According to pretty much all in attendance, Darcy didn’t stand a chance!

Cranbrook McDonald’s Restaurant and the Cranbrook Fire Department would also like to recognize Sweet Gestures for their contribution to the event. Thank you as well to Sam Steele Sweetheart Kelsey Ackert and Princess Sarah Ferguson, MBSS Wild Girls Basketball head coach Al Nutini and assistant coaches Joe McGowan and Shaun Penner.

Volunteers needed for Grand Slam of Curling Continued from page 1

The event will be broken down in to 15 men and 15 women’s teams in Tier One—the top level of competition. The same format will be duplicated for the Tier 2, which will feature professional curlers that aren’t quite at the elite level.

A strong and committed cadre of volunteers is essential for the event, but Cranbrook’s track record in this regard is strong. Kristi Petrushchak, Manager of the Tour Challenge for Sportsnet, told the Townsman in an earlier interview that Cranbrook’s existing volunteer network, and the 2011 Canada Cup experience made the city a compelling host for the 2016 event.

“The veteran volunteer committee lead by Todd Pellerin are enthusiastic and excited to bring a world class event back to Cranbrook,” Petrushchak said.”It’s always a plus when you have a community of volunteers that have hosted a large curling event, to take their previous experience and key learnings and help make this

event a greater success for the community.”

Pellerin himself said in an earlier interview with the Townsman that depending on the success of the Tour Challenge, there is potential for the city to host more Grand Slam events in the future.

“If we have a good local buy-in and the sponsorship is good and everyone has a good review after the event, Sportsnet has said that we would become one of the city locations that would be on a rotating basis for future events,” he said.

The organizing committee has decided to donate 50 per cent of profits back into those minor sport organizations.

The last major curling event that Cranbrook hosted was the Canada Cup of Curling in 2011, which was organized by the Canadian Curling Association, which has nothing to do with the Grand Slam of Curling, as it is organized directly by Sportsnet.

Warning: Boot stompin’ fun coming!

Do you love a parade? Sam Steele has one for you!

For the Townsman

A brainstorming session last October involving 24 passionate Cranbrook citizens helped to select the 2016 theme for the Sam Steele Days Parade. Councilor Wes Graham is credited with the tag line “Salute the Boots” when the majority agreed the focus would be on honouring those who serve and protect. The inspiration came from watching our veterans proudly march in their colour party in the parade year after year.

Boot stompin’ fun is for everyone! Any business, club or organization will find value in parade participation at only $25 to enter a decorated vehicle, walking/ riding group or individual dressed in character.

Attendees are estimated to be a thick 10,000 along the parade route in the City’s downtown core. Parade applica-

tions are available to download from the official Sam Steele Days website www.samsteeledays.org/parade/ or you can call (250) 426-4161 to request one.

The parade takes place on Saturday, June 18, from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Deadline to enter is June 10, 2016.

“Fort Steele Heritage Town is thrilled to welcome back the Steele Scouts during Sam Steele Days” says Administration Manager, Kathy Allison. The Steele Scouts were in Cranbrook for the festival’s 50th Celebration in 2014. “They will be joining us in the parade and then returning to the Fort to help us celebrate our opening weekend for the summer.” Rumour has it that Sir Sam Steele himself will be represented by their heritage theatre performers … watch for him!

Kimberley skier shines at Nationals

C AROLYN GRANT

Kimberley’s Molly Miller left the Haywood Cross Country Ski Nationals in Whitehorse with a handful of gold medals as well as another Sofie Manarin Award as the best Juvenile Girls Skier in Canada.

Miller, who often races up against competitors older than her, decided not to do that in Whitehorse and proved that she is one of the elite juvenile skiers in the country.

“Molly did really well,” said Nicole Perrin, assistant coach for the Kimberley Nordic team, which sent four racers to Whitehorse.

Along with Miller were Annika and Marielle Ackermann and MacKenzie McLean.

“Molly won three gold medals and the Sofie Manarin award for overall Canadian points for a juvenile girls skier

for the year,” Perrin said.

Perrin says the experience is invaluable for all the skiers.

“It was a great experience for Annika and McKenzie.

Marielle raced in Midget so she was racing up against older girls and she did very well.

Earlier this year, Miller won two golds at the BC Games and received the W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence.

The award is given to one outstanding athlete at each BC Winter and BC Summer Games.

The award includes a $2500 bursary and is designed to recognize and support the ongoing development of young athletes.

Now that nationals are done, the ski team gets a brief break before they begin summer conditioning and training in May.

Last year’s event, with 106 entries, received an incredible amount of positive feedback from both local and nonlocal entrants, participants and media.

The Cranbrook Violin Club, overall winner for the best entry, with their mobile pirate ship and talented young musicians playing excerpts of a theme from a popular pirate movie, won $250.

The 2015 City of Cranbrook float, celebrating 50 Years of Heart in recognition of Cranbrook’s Sweetheart Youth Ambassador Program, went on to take first place for best municipal float in the Calgary Stampede parade in July - a true reflection of the “Mountains of Opportunity” in Cranbrook.

There are $1,300 in cash prizes and 16 ribbons available to be won in a variety of categories. The Sam Steele Society is grateful to St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino for their loyal sponsorship of the parade for 10 years. All entry fees and sponsor funds go towards prizes and costs related to the parade. Cranbrook Rotary and Lions Club volunteers play a crucial role in facilitation of the event. “We simply couldn’t do it without them”, says Sam Steele Society President, Christy Wheeldon. This year Alliance Traffic Group Inc. has generously stepped in to play a professional role in assisting with the safety and flow of the parade line up and central fairgrounds. Yes! It’s getting that big!

Old fossils in fossil country “Calling someone ‘an old fossil’ is not right. As every erudite person knows, fossil already implies old.”

Sam Webster

W

hen I first read about Doctor Burgess Shale’s discovery I was inclined not to believe. When I read about his claims, I was about to sneer because, you see, he insisted that he had discovered the biggest trilobite in the world right here in the East Kootenay at, of all places, Wycliffe.

Anyway, I made discrete inquiries and became determined to go and have a look at this gigantic fossil (the trilobite, not the doctor, who had apparently headed back to Calgary in order to write his ‘paper’ on the subject and thus become famous) because, like many folk around these parts, I have found trilobites before but they were never gigantic by any stretch of imagination. They’d always looked like the skeletons of those bugs that crawl out occasionally from beneath my down-stairs shower and I was always informed that they were fossils of extinct arthropods. (pods implies that they had lots of legs, like centipods.)

Anyway, when George heard of my proposed adventurous search he made it sound as if I were venturing into Jurassic

Park and insisted on accompanying me, in lieu of the gorgeous blonde scientist in the film. He thought I might emulate myself and I, naturally, scoffed because I believed that he’d got the wrong word; I assumed he meant self- immolate, i.e. sacrifice myself by setting my foolish body on fire. What nonsense; I was merely going for a gentle stroll and see if I might find this gigantic fossil. It might be as big as that ammonite up by Fernie so I didn’t reckon on getting it home and putting it in the pool in my front garden, although that would have been a real shock to my neighbours, even those Peter that are already fossilized.

Warland Now, in spite of varying opinions on the topic, I am not a stupid as I look on my driver’s licence so I do not intend to announce the area in which I planned to search. Just say that one Sunday morning, after several false starts, George and I set off with a packed (by me) lunch and a positive attitude.

By noon, it was raining, by two we were both soaked to the skin and, by six, we were hopelessly lost so we decided to light a big fire and wait for dawn and, of course, this is where the immolation takes place.

After collecting damp wood and attempting to burn every scrap of flamma-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ble material that we could find in our back-packs, we found that we were down to a small piece of candle wax that I thought George kept in order to wax his Neanderthal eyebrows, one last match and my secret resort.

Over the years I have attempted to emulate my more intelligent friends and so, in the deep recesses of my pack lay a very small bottle of gasoline.

George said, “We’ve got to corporate in this, matie.” He’d recently found an Australian type bush-hat and a huge sheath knife and was attempting to emulate Crocodile Dundee from those awful movies.

“What is going to happen is: you are going to pour that petrol on to the fire and I, at the same time, will strike this match and toss it on. We’ll soon be laughing, cobber.”

Well, to cut a long story short, a wind came along with the rain. I, carefully as possible in the dark, trickled the precious gas on to what I thought was the fire, George struck that last match and the self- immolation began.

Luckily, my pants were too wet to burst into flame but I did leap about quite a bit in a (Ital) danse macabre and so, despondent and without a glimpse of that trilobite, George and I tottered about for a bit and found a road. Fortuitously George’s truck had opted to move during the storm to that very road and, for the first time in ages, like its present owner, it started after only about six tries.

Dr Richard Hebda’s discussion of talk on BC’s fossil wealth on Wednesday, March 30, drew more than 150 people, packing the Royal Alexandra Hall at the Cranbrook History Centre. After his talk, Elisabeth Comfort (a long time area resident and fossil collector) presented some of her fossils to Dr. Hebda.

Letters to the Editor Five days a week

Reasons Why I Want My Townsman from Monday to Friday!

At the outset I realize the futility of writing this letter given that Black Press has already made its decision in the best interests of their bottom line, however, as a local reader of the Townsman since the early 1980s I feel compelled to express my views in support of the continuation of my beloved paper five (5) days of the week!

I went through some of the recent editions and came up with this partial list that I enjoy reading, and look forward to, in my local paper: ‘Janus’, ‘Gwynne Dyer’, Mike Selby’s ‘Booknotes’, ‘It Happened this week in Cranbrook’, ‘Peter Warland’, ‘Carolyn Grant’, ‘Barry Coulter’, local nature photographer ‘Stewart Wilson’s pictures.

‘Letters to the Editor’, ‘Opinion pieces’, the ‘PolÍitical Cartoons’, ‘BC Views’ by Tom Fletcher.

The in depth Sports Reporting of the Ice, Dynamiters, Ghost Riders, school and college sports.

News coverage of the elected City Councils, RDEK, College of the Rockies, School District.

“Know It All” coverage of events in the

area, Science articles, Prehistory articles, Local News coverage of our community, events, and people of our community (births, marriages, obituaries, anniversaries), and, lastly, all of the store flyers (shop locally!)

Now what about the substantial human cost to the Townsman/Bulletin/Kootenay Advertiser workers? An automatic reduction of 40 per cent in their pay, or, being forced to find other part-time jobs to keep their head above water? I doubt that Black Press has considered what impact their corporate decision will have on the employees and their families of our community.

This is truly a sad time for community based newspapers.

And, for the record, I won’t be reading my newspaper on-line!

Chris Johns Cranbrook

Thank you Kimberley

As President of the Kimberley Health Auxiliary I was honored to represent all the hard working and deciated volunteers at the Opening of the ICU at the Cranbrook Regional Hospital. As an Auxiliary through

our thrift shops (both Kimberley and Marysville) we raised over $90,000.00 for Interior Health with a very healthy proportion of the monies going to ICU and along with other equipment that was needed at the Kimberley Health Care Centre.

As I was sitting there listening to all the CEO’s, MLA and other representatives speeches and congratulations to all the organizations and government for their donations (which by the way was needed to make the opening of the ICU possible) It struck me that no one thanked the most important people of all being the people who frequent our two shops and support us with donations and buying our products.

Our Thrift stores are our only source of revenue, we don’t have any other fundraisers to draw from unlike other organization.

Therefore I would like to thank all the people of Kimberley for all their donations to both shops and all the people who shop in our shops if it wasn’t for you we could not make donations that we do every year!

Thank you to the citizens of Kimberley and all our out of town visitors.

Injuries weighed heavily in Dynamiters playoff demise Battle-worn Kimberley Dynamiters were battered, black & blue when final buzzer sounded to end KIJHL championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters never used injuries as an excuse for anything, even when their dreams of a repeat performance on the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s biggest stage were dashed at the conclusion of a 2-1 loss in Game 5 of the league championship series Thursday night in 100 Mile House.

“It’s not an excuse, because everybody has injuries,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, following Game 5 of the KIJHL championship Thursday in 100 Mile House. “The run we went on last year, in order for that to happen, you have to have some luck, you have to have some bounces, some timely goals, some timely saves, some crossbars and then you have to be healthy.

“Every team has their bangs and their bruises, but you’ve got to have some luck.”

Excuse or not, there is absolutely no question that a multitude of serious injuries to key components weighed heavily into the Dynamiters demise against a roughand-tumble 100 Mile House Wranglers squad that admittedly loved to “bang bodies” according to Brady Ward, a native of Prince Rupert, who tallied the championship-clinching marker Thursday night with less than four minutes remaining in regulation.

The number of walking wounded began to grow as early as November and with each hardfought series, the bangs and bruises slowly became that much more severe.

Captain Jason Richter sits at the top of the list. The 2015 KIJHL scoring champion suffered a dislocated rib in November, after which the team shut him down until the final weekend of the regular season. “[Shutting him down] didn’t do any good because the first time he got hit he was right back to where he was,” Bancks said. “He persevered and these kids see that.

“I haven’t slept for probably three weeks now, because I wonder how long can this continue? Every time you win a round, you know he has to go through it again. But it’s all part of the game. It’s a very, very important part of the game.”

Richter, a 19-year-old native of Cranbrook and commit to the University of Jamestown’s fledging American Collegiate Hockey Association’s Div. I program, had been getting frozen before each game in order to play through the pain.

But for Game 5 of the KIJHL championship, the 5-foot-8 spitfire took a pass on the treatment and gutted it out to the final buzzer.

Midway through the third period, the Kimberley captain was crunched along the boards at centre ice hard enough to send his helmet flying to the playing surface. Calmly and without so much as a wince, Richter picked up his bucket, returned to the Dynamiters bench and after catching his wind, didn’t miss a shift.

“I’ve never seen a human being as tough as him,” Bancks said.

“That’s all he knows and people have no idea — what you see in games I get in every

practice. Every practice.

Not once in a while. Not 90 per cent of the time.

That’s what I get from him every practice.”

Despite the injury, Richter didn’t miss a beat during the post-season, leading his team in scoring with eight goals and 19 points through 19 games.

Most recently, defenceman Tyler Van Steinburg suffered an acromioclavicular (AC) separation during Game 4 of the KIJHL championship. The AC joint forms where the collarbone meets the highest point of the shoulder blade.

“He was given the okay,” Bancks said of Van Steinburg playing Game 5. “But I can promise you last year he wouldn’t have played had he not been around this group this year. But he went out and played.”

Prior to that, rugged defenceman Justin Meier — who watched Game 5 from the stands on crutches while wearing a heavy knee brace — suffered a torn ACL during Game 3 of the league championship and could face four to five months recovery time.

In Game 2 of the KIJHL championship, Revelstoke native Brodie Buhler suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Veteran forward Jared Marchi was hampered by separated rib cartilage since mid-February.

California product Keenan Haase suffered a separated shoulder early in the post-season.

“Our power play struggled, but if you’ve been following the series, you’ll see that Keenan Haase and Jason Richter are the key shooters on our power play,” Bancks said. “Both

They couldn’t and that’s part of the reason we struggled on the power play.

“But you can’t not give them the opportunity. We talked a lot about taking Jason off the power play. But no, when you do what he has done for this organization for all the time he’s been here, he gets the right to do that. I’ll go to the grave saying that was the right choice, because he deserves it.”

Defenceman Jordan Busch missed a game after being on the receiving end of a check to the head in Game 3 of the Kootenay Conference championship against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks.

After Game 3 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal, rookie forward James Rota was absent form the lineup and only seen around the rink with a cast on his arm.

Rookie forward Austyn Moser missed time with an ankle injury.

Oft forgotten, even by many Dynamiters faithful, is the loss of defenceman Tristan Pagura and forward Jesse Wallace early on during the 201516 regular season.

Wallace was a vital member of the Dynamiters 2015 KIJHL championship and Pagura was destined to be one of the league’s top puck-moving defencemen, according to Bancks.

Playoff hockey is an all-out war at any level, and this season, the Dy-

namiters simply got the worst of it. But they never gave up.

“These stories will be there for Kimberley Minor Hockey and Cranbrook Minor Hockey as well,” Bancks said.

“What these kids have done is kind of neat.”

While many of Bancks’ warriors are set to move on, each was critical in the capturing of the 2015 KIJHL championship followed by the league’s 2016 regular season crown.

There’s absolutely no reason for these kids to hang their heads as they helped remind junior hockey fans across the province what Kimberley Dynamiters hockey is all about. ‘

Stroman solid in first opening day start, Blue Jays beat Rays Fred Goodall Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Marcus Stroman outpitched Chris Archer in his first opening day start, helping the Toronto Blue Jays begin defence of their AL East title with a 5-3 victory

over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Stroman allowed three runs and six hits over eight-plus innings for the Jays, who won 93 games in 2015 before making a run to the AL Championship Series in their first playoff appearance since 1993.

Troy Tulowitzki hit the first home run of the 2016 season, a two-run shot for Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion had two hits and drove in two runs after not having an at-bat in major league exhibition all spring because of injuries.

The Blue Jays, the

highest-scoring team in the majors last year, struck quickly on Encarnacion’s two-run single in the first.

Archer struck out a Rays opening-day record 12 in five innings.

But Encarnacion got him early and Kevin Pillar added an RBI single

in the fourth. The righthander limited the Blue Jays to five hits, but walked three during a 107-pitch outing.

Evan Longoria had two hits and drove in Tampa Bay’s first run with a third-inning single. Corey Dickerson added a solo homer off

Stroman leading off the ninth and Kevin Kiermaier drove in the final run charged to the starter with a bloop single off Roberto Osuna.

Osuna got the last three outs for the save.

At 24 years, 338 days old, Stroman became the third-youngest pitch-

er to make an opening day start for the Jays. He earned the assignment after making just four starts, going 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA, in 2015, when he missed most of the season after undergoing surgery on his left knee during spring training.

Check your license plate: Pranksters pull the switches early March 31 RCMP

This morning, March 31, Cranbrook RCMP received several reports from vehicle owners that the wrong license plate was on their vehicle. It appears that sometime overnight somebody took it upon themselves to play an early April Fools prank.

Police are following up with owners and returning license plates to the rightful owners. Police ask you to take a quick look and ensure you have the right license plate on your vehicle.

Suspects could be charged with Mischief, but more importantly it could cause delays in an investigation if police aren’t able to quickly determine ownership.

Also it could inconvenience drivers should they be stopped when the license plate doesn’t match the vehicle.

If you have the wrong license plate or information on this incident please contact the Cranbrook RCMP, 250 489-3471

Minister nixes lower speed limits, photo radar To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has ruled out a return of photo radar and lowering urban speed limits to help reduce motor vehicle fatalities.

Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall recommends in a new report that urban areas should have a default speed limit of 30 km/h to protect pedestrians and cyclists from fatal collisions.

Safer roads and vehicles have reduced fatalities for vehicle occupants by almost 80 per cent in the past 40 years, but the death rate for pedestrians has remained stubbornly high, and cyclist fatalities have gone up as more people take to bikes in urban areas,

the report says.

Kendall said when a pedestrian is struck by a car travelling 50 km/h, the chances of survival are only 20 per cent. When the vehicle speed is reduced to 30, a pedestrian has about a 90 per cent chance of surviving a direct impact.

The current default speed limit for streets in B.C. is 50 km/h, and that includes urban streets where vehicles may be parked on both sides and drivers have little time to see a pedestrian stepping out.

Currently municipalities have to post signs to establish a lower limit for any selected street.

Stone said Thursday the idea of lowering default municipal speed limits from 50 to 40 was

debated at last year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, and “quite resoundingly defeated.” He said there would have to be a significant change in position of local governments before he would consider it.

The report also recommends the province consider returning to photo radar speed enforcement, and Stone restated the B.C. government’s long-standing position against it.

“We believe there are more effective technologies that can be employed, and frankly a better way to utilize precious police resources than to resurrect what was largely a failed photo radar program that was nothing more than a tax grab for British Columbians,”

Stone said.

One of those technologies is electronic

Single parent employment growing Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government’s new training and employment program for single parents on income assistance has grown to 2,500 applicants in its first five months.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said she is encouraged by the continued growth of applicants, with 60 to 100 people per week applying at WorkBC employment centres.

The majority are women, and most are required to seek employment as a condition of assistance once their children are three years or older.

“One of the good things that I

see is that about two thirds of those clients who have come forward have employment obligations, but one third are not actually obligated to look for work, and they are looking for work,” Stilwell said.

The program covers tuition, daycare and transportation costs for up to a year of on-the-job training or education towards in-demand jobs for single parents on social assistance or disability payments. The benefits can continue for up to the first year of employment, including extension of government-paid dental and other health benefits.

It replaces the previous system, often referred to as the wel-

fare trap, where single parents would lose their assistance payments and benefits if they went back to school to train for a job.

According to the ministry’s latest monthly report, 179 single parents have started jobs since the program began Sept. 1. More than 200 have started training programs.

The largest work category for training is nurse aides and orderlies in health care facilities, where employment counsellors have identified jobs are available.

Other skills in demand are office administration, industrial trades and truck and heavy equipment operation.

“They should happen throughout the year,” Clark said Thursday. “It would help make the process more transparent.”

Horgan replied that greater transparency avoids the issue of private access to government decision-makers in exchange for big donations. He said the NDP will continue to follow the current law and make only annual disclosures until the rules change for everyone.

LE • REC YC

NDP leader John Horgan plans to renew his party’s call to get the “big money” out of B.C. politics, after collecting his own share at a $5,000-a-plate breakfast in Toronto this week.

Horgan’s fundraiser came as NDP critics were accusing Premier Christy Clark of selling access to her government, most recently with a $10,000-a-plate private dinner in Vancouver.

Horgan said when the legislature session resumes next week, he intends to re-introduce a bill to ban all corporate and union dona-

tions to political parties.

It will be the fifth time the NDP has called for the change, which would restrict political parties to individual donations only.

Clark, whose B.C. Liberal Party reaps far more in corporate donations than the NDP typically receives from unions, now says she wants “real time” disclosure of donations to parties, and will ask B.C.’s Chief Electoral Officer to make that change.

Both parties have followed the letter of the current law, which requires annual disclosure. In election years, it means voters don’t get full information on who

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be replaying a scenario over and over again in your mind. You might be distracted by a friend’s demand. Fatigue could be at the base of the issue, at least in your mind. Avoid redundancy if you can. Tonight: Write down some notes rather than overthink.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A friend appeals to you emotionally and/or intellectually.

You will respond in kind. This person often inspires you to create much more of what you desire. With his or her encouragement, you’ll find that a goal is within reach. Tonight: Avoid a difficult loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might have your hands full handling an aggressive, defiant associate. Take responsibility for your side of the issue. Consider your options more carefully, yet be willing to support yourself - not only with this issue, but also in life. Tonight: Say “yes” to a dreamy offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Recognize your limits with a difficult associate. You could be running around doing too much, causing yourself to be accident-prone. Slow down.

News from a distance makes you smile from ear to ear. Enjoy the moment. Tonight: Catch up on a favorite TV series.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You understand the power of relating to others individually. If there is a difference of opinion, you can discuss it and come to a mutually agreeable solution.

A new friend tends to upset the applecart in another sector of your life. Try to remain calm.

Tonight: Don’t be alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Understand your limitations when dealing with a key person.

How you approach this individual could change dramatically if he or she is being difficult. Be careful about a loved one whom you have put on a pedestal, as he or she is likely to fall off! Tonight: As you like it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone

Tundra

you care about. You often have a difficult time understanding what ails this person. He or she finally might decide to open up, but it is very likely that you still will have a difficult time understanding. Tonight: Let the party go on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might take a risk only to discover that you have made a mistake. Rethink a decision more carefully. Support yourself in saying “no” to a gamble. Understand what is happening and why you might want to take action. Tonight: Play out a fantasy.

Be a rock ‘n’ roll singer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A family member will mean well, but still might create some uproar. You could be confused about a personal situation. One of the reasons behind a present misunderstanding is that there is so much confusion around the homefront. Tonight: Stay close to home if you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your sense of what is going on might be quite off. Part of the reason is that you are not get-

ting the whole story. Someone could be choosing not to share certain details with you. Go off and do your own research rather than get angry. Tonight: Return calls and emails, then decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be convinced that you are doing the right thing, especially as a friend keeps pushing you in a certain direction. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. Do not lose sight of a long-term goal. Tonight: Work on being more reasonable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use a positive perspective and believe in the power of positive thought. Someone who has clout over you might be very disagreeable - probably because he or she does not want to give you the flexibility you want. Consider different ways of handling this situation.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 12-year-old boy, and I hate my life. I am the youngest of five, but there is a huge age difference. My siblings are aged 29 to 35. My parents are in their mid-50s.

My parents didn’t plan me and I’m tired of being constantly told that I am the family “mistake.” It’s like a big joke to them. People always think I am my parent’s grandson. My mom seems happy to tell them, “No, he’s our son and obviously he was a mistake.” It makes me feel small and embarrassed.

I think I’m a good kid. I get straight A’s and I always help around the house. I have told my parents that it hurts my feelings, but they laugh it off and say it’s just an expression and I am too sensitive. Most of my siblings are worse. They like to bully and make fun of me. My oldest sister blames me whenever Mom or Dad have a health issue, saying it’s hard on them to deal with a young child at their age.

The only sibling I have who likes me is my single 29-year-old brother. He always defends me and likes spending time with me. I have this fantasy that he will adopt me and let me move in with him, but I know that’s unrealistic.

How I can get my family to stop being so mean to me? They don’t seem to hear anything I say. -- The Family Mistake Dear Family: No one likes to be constantly teased. But your parents were undoubtedly teased about the age gap of their children, and they responded by turning it into a joke. You believe it reflects poorly on you, when it’s really about them. Surely your parents know that lots of people in their 50s have kids your age and they do just fine.

Your parents and siblings have fallen into a pattern of treating you poorly. If your brother cannot get your parents to rethink their behavior, please talk to your school counselor, favorite teacher or coach, your grandparents, aunts, uncles or a sympathetic family friend. You need an adult to advocate for you and talk to your parents on your behalf.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Stymied Husband” who wants to go for counseling with his wife in order to regain intimacy. She thinks it means he wants a divorce.

Counselors have gotten a bad rap.

As with any professional, you should interview them and get references.

It saddens me that society has made counseling a shameful thing, when really, it is just there to help you. To what degree depends on your willingness to accept your responsibility and do your part. My husband and I have been married 30 years and have been to counseling off and on for 25 of them. We consider it a tuneup.

Hopefully “Stymied” can get his wife to see a counselor as a “life coach” rather than a “divorce coach.” -- Thankful for Our Life Coach Dear Thankful: You are absolutely right. Readers often take us to task for recommending counseling, believing that we should be able to give a line or two of pithy advice to solve all problems. That may work for which way to hang the toilet paper, but it doesn’t work for complicated issues involving intimacy and trust.
